Oh.
I thought maybe the "anointed" might rain lightning bolts and bleeding hail on us. Fire and ice and frogs, etc...

What kind of anointing makes someone boast in themselves the way you do? If you're going to boast, boast in the LORD and not in yourself.
The Lord exalts Himself in me.
Do you have a problem with it?
I boast to you
that it was the Lord
which said this to you?

You aren't the Lord and he doesn't speak to me through you. I dont listen to pride and boasting or people obsessed with elevating themselves in the eyes of men.

Christ was speaking to Satan the Devil, who was using Peter as his mouthpiece at the moment Peter was negating Christ having to die. The fact that Christ sweated blood in the garden, shows that this was the greatest temptation Christ ever faced on earth - the temptation to shy away from crucifixion. And Peter encouraging a departure from crucifixion was Satan using Peter's mouth, hence the rebuke.
For this to be correct
Satan would have had to be
in control of Peter.
Is this true?
Do you believe Satan had entered into Peter?
Matthew 26:34
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
That this night, before the **** crow,
thou shalt deny me thrice.
Matthew 26:35
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee,
yet will I not deny thee.
Was this Peter calling Jesus a liar or Satan?

No, but Satan can influence all of us at times. There is a difference between being POSSESSED and being INFLUENCED by Satan. Satan was influencing Peter at that time, just as Satan influenced Peter to deny he knew Christ.
I felt a huge Satanic pull on me today when I walked into a shop to drop a printer cartridge for re-inking and some dude with nothing better to do wanted to pick a fight with me for not taking my motorcycle helmet off. I had only planned to be a few seconds in the shop dropping the cartridge off, otherwise I would have removed my helmet. Husbands and wives who are church goers and argue all the time over nothing, too are Satan inspired at these times.
Tell me how you differentiate
from them who are being used
or influenced by Satan and them
who are possessed by Satan?
Especially when he can
appear to you as
the light.

When they are rolling around on the ground, and words like sewerage is pouring out of their mouthes, or if they are in a demonic trance, or are spirit writing, or practicing Satanism, or performing occult practices, or are a medium pretending to be making contact with the dead, or.... these are signs of possession. Surely you must have seen demon possessed people at one time or another.
However NOBODY, least of all Christians, are immune from Satanic ideas entering their minds. He is the God of this world, the Prince of the power of the air, the being who can create an atmosphere in a room which is conducive to evil;, even if that room is a church.
Luke 22:3
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot,
being of the number of the twelve.
Do you believe Judas
ever rolled around on the ground,
and words like sewerage
is pouring out of his mouth,
or was in a demonic trance,
or are spirit writing,
or practicing Satanism,
or performing occult practices,
or are a medium pretending to be making contact with the dead?
You have talked to people who
were possessed by a devil or devils
many times and never even knew it.
In fact you thought
they were saved and a child of God.
You even called the pastor.
And brother and sister.
You even looked up to them.
You even heard them speak in tongues
believing it was the Spirit of God
speaking through them.

Which just proves my point that there are degrees of Satanic influence, from mild temptation, to Satan directly taking possession of the person's will and mind.
When Christ told Judas "What you do, do quickly" He was actually speaking directly to Satan.
Satan left Judas, and at that time he regained his mind enough to feel remorse at betraying Christ.
What it proves is you do not have no wisdom or knowledge
as to that which is and that which is not.
And even if a angel of God
walked up to you and told you
that which I am telling you
you would not believe it.
You are already deeply infected with the lies
of this world.
You might even be possessed?
The majority people who are possessed
do not know they do not know.

Word, Satan is called "The accuser of the brethren".
Your whole tone is accusational.
I prefer to give folks the benefit of the doubt. Also I cannot be bothered with justifying myself to someone who throws out accusations. So bye.
Why are you accusing me in this post?

Your approach since first coming on this board bears striking similarities to this :
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Acts 8:9-10
You were the one who claimed to be the Spirit of God. Now you insinuate Judas was a friend of Jesus (even though Jesus called him a devil - John 6:70) and that Peter was demon-possessed. This is plainly NOT scriptural and certainly displays your disdain for the bible (you even say "your bible" as though it isn't yours...are you Muslim?). Your self-aggrandizing is not of God.
Over against that is the Spirit of Christ:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
Electronic communication is not one that lends itself easily to knowing an individual. We can know what words are put up on the screen - but are they even yours? Maybe you are a kid just trying to cause trouble. But no true believer would make the claims you have made. Not even in jest.
So do you have a devil? Maybe. Are you possessed with the Spirit of God? No evidence of that whatsoever.
