Every possessed person will feel unconscious because of the pressure of power that impact and control the person’s body. But, I’m not gonna tell you much about the possession but about the exorcism. The possession always been compared with an epileptic disease which is the person got a convulsive or seizures. For every scientist whose not believe in God, they will compare it. Because study shown that the victim got a seizures which is also makes the victim got strain. But for the priest whose believe in God, they see it as a demon or spirit possession. For the cure, scientist will give a medicine such as Dilantin^® (phenytoin), in use since 1938 in U.S.A, they will give drugs for the patient to prevent the seizures. But, for the priest or father, they will use an exorcism. Exorcism from what I said earlier is the religious practice of evicting demons or other spiritual entities from a person or an area which they are believed to have possessed. 

There is also an exorcism by un-holy person (un-priest). In Africa, they calling grand grand parents spirits to helps removing the devil soul

But Exorcism sometimes proven as a contra for some sides because it’s letting the patient to get worst. If you watching ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’ you will see about two sides who defend and against father moore who did an exorcism on Emily Rose which is on the movie that Emily Rose died because of exorcism and the exorcism let her not to take the medical examination. She was claimed as a people with an epileptic disease because she had a demonic illustration or paranoid and she used to get seizures and Emily Rose is also feel terrified with God thing. Anyway, I have an experiences with the exorcism , what did I see and I feel about possessed person is the person got seizures and they were unconscious and they also act weird with God thing which is they will get mad on praise the Lord, etc. What I do with the exorcism, I’m asking permission from God to belong with Him and used His power to remove the demon from his/her body and I also push the thumb to pushover the demon power, believe it or not with faith on God it’s moved out.

Exorcism also happen in real life due to person who have demonic possession. It’s a life of Anneliese Michel. Was born on Klingenberg, Bavaria, Germany, September 21 1952 and died on July 1 1976. Cause of death : dehydration and malnourishment . Other symptoms : die because of preventing the medical way with exorcism. And she also have schizophrenia. The evidence that she is got possessed Anneliese avoided walking past a particular image of Jesus, and that she refused to drink water from a holy spring.

From this post, I ensure you to know about how everyone see about the exorcism work for some people, especially two sides like the scientist (whose not believed in God) and the priest (who believed in God) we can see how good is God with his power and miracle that the person who possessed become cured. So, it’s your choice to choose which side are you.
