I don't doubt your story at all, but understand that people can be healed of brain illnesses just as they can with heart disease. The devil might not have had anything to do with it.

True about demons are everywhere, but more so in certain places. IMO
I understand why you feel that way, but I'm curious as to why you think the devil prefers mental institutions over other places, like.....church?

And please bear with me as I pick your thoughts. I'm not asking to ridicule or anything negative, but this helps me understand others in my profession. Thanks.

I think that most not ALL probably have a demonic/oppressive spirit that are in a mental institution. Some of them may have medical reasons.

Although there are spirits that do indeed come to church, I don't think you will find it as prevelant as other places. Mostly because you have the Spirit of God more prevelant, hopefully anyway.

No problem, I am at work, and sometimes I have to "work".

Esther, let me assure you that the devil is the most faithful member of any church.

And I'm not sure how you come up with most. Care to elaborate, if you can?
