So this might be off topic but I know a majority of this board leans Christian so I think this is the place to look for answers.
> Have a friend
> Been friends for 10 years
> Used to party a lot; get drunk smoke weed etc.
> Time moves on, I quit drugs and drinking, find Jesus
> Friend does not for the most part
> Continues to do destructive things
> Continues to be a degenerate
> Wears black every day
> We are both poorfags, so we split a room in an apartment
> I continue to pursue God, trying to be more Christlike
> Join a men's bible study, don't miss church much…
> Make friends with more Christians
> Friend becomes darker and more depraved.
> Hangs demonic symbols on the wall
> Obsession with darkness, death, unhealthy behaviors
> Hardcore manchild, peter pan syndrome
> Literally regressing; becoming more immature
So that brings us pretty much to the present couple months. This guy literally carries around a cloud of evil with him. It's literally palpable. He walks into a room and darkness follows him; you know the sort of person. You can feel their energy, and it's not good.
But it's more than that.
I prayed with my men's group a few week ago. I prayed over the room with my brothers in Christ. It was a longer prayer than usual. It was a real prayer. There wasn't any sort of speaking in tongues or any of the more 'charismatic' stuff, it was just a sincere declaration of ownership over the room for the glory of God, a protection from evil spirits, and a plea for the soul of my friend.
> Get home that night
> Friend is not there.
> Go up to the third floor, where the room is
> As I come around the stairwell, I see the idol that was hanging over his bed had fallen down.
> What a coincidence.
> I get on my knees and praise God.
> He's listening.
The next night, my friend was there. He hung it back up. I didn't tell him what happened, I still haven't, I just don't really feel like it would make a difference for some reason. (1/2)
