A guy my brother hires to do part time construction in the past 11 years is what the doctors call bi-polar. In 11 years he has went off his medication 3x and each time he ends up wearing jewerly, turns kinda of 60's hippy with a beard and eventualy stats preaching on the streets that JESUS is returning and YOU SINNERS had better repent....................well; now is the 4th time he has went off his drugs and he is wearing rings/jewerly, crosses and sporting a beard and naturally broke. He stopped by yesterday begging for gas money.

This problem naturlaly ruined his life many years ago. Early on he even got married once and may have a child (not sure)but now he is in his mid 50's and lives with his sister and could not care for himself.

While on meds, he can handle life. Off his meds he wears jewerly/becomes a jesus freak and drinks up any $$$ he can acquire and lives as a bar bumb getting beat up and thrown out of everywhere he goes. He currently has 2 broken ribs, a busted up elbow and back and neck all messed up. Naturally he said he just slipped on the ice, but no one would believe anything he says when he is in the jesus freak stage.

So I must ponder this:
Under control, he seems like a normal guy, can work and make enough $$$ to support himself.
Out of control, he can't support himself and is dangerous. In control he doesn't care about jesus or tried to push it down people's throats at interesections of the city, out of control he can become violent if you don't agree about jesus.

We have ONE BODY, but the Bible or Ancient writers suggest we could have 666+ evil spirits overwhelme our body.

Medically they give you drugs durring operations that allow you to escape your body and travel the world, which would similate death and while your in la la land enjoying death, other spirits control your body and your family thinks your weird and just blames it on the drugs. When yu come back, you remember ZERO whta your body has done for the past few weeks, because YOU were not there. Your were dead and FREE, but your body survived and your silver cord YANKS you back when the drugs wears off and can function properly again.

This man never knows he has a problem.

The spirit in his body today, is what we would not call NORMAL. It is a spirit that takes over his MIND/BODY and changes him and I find it courious that this spirit seeks the cross and jesus and also drinks and seeks to destroy the man's body and make him homeless.

I told him he could work today and make some $$$$ and naturally he said he would, because he was begging for gas $$$ and said if he has enough gas he would return today to work. I knew 90% chance he would make it to the gas station and buy $5 worth of gas and the rest in beer. Or who knows, he may have made it to a bar and got beaten up again, etc.....

The question that begs to be answered; where is the REAL MAN?

Why does he get disconnected from his body and who/what is this other spirit(s) that control his body and why the crosses/jewerly/beard and jesus freak.

I assume the Bible answers the questions if the parables were fully understood. Spirit possession is real and all sick people experience it one day.
