Took a walk with my mother just now and I was reminded of the passage in Numbers 22 that I don't think I have outlined on this channel...
—Animals can see angels
—God can allow people to see angels
—God can allow animals to speak
—Angels use weapons
Num22:21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
Num22:22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
Num22:23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
Num22:24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
Num22:25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
Num22:26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Num22:27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
Num22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
Num22:29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
Num22:30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
Num22:31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
Num22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
Num22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.

A few notes about this:
If the correct interpretation of this passage is that all animals see angels rather than just this donkey at this particular time, then I would heavily suspect that babies and toddlers also see angels, judging by how they look around sometimes as if they see something.
Furthermore, recently I was speaking with my pastor and he brought up an idea that I think is very obscure as far as my search in the internet goes: That animals originally spoke like humans. At this time I am not sure of the validity of this theory, but it is incredibly interesting nonetheless.

We're going to discuss some things tonight, particularly what devils are and what they can do.
I will be using the KJV as a primary source because the word of God is infallible and pure. I may use other sources, but they must be taken with a grain of salt.

Mat8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
Mat8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Mat8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
Mat8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
Mat8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
Mat8:33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
Mat8:34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way
According to the word of God, the infallible source of information that we have been given, devils can make a person "exceeding fierce" and dangerous to approach. The implications of this are massive.

they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Here it is to be assumed that the devils even spoke from the mouths of the people they possessed.

They can even exit and enter different bodies at will. However it may be important to note that they likely can't just enter anything they want.

The swine were compelled just as the previously possessed men were compelled, but I am unsure as to why the devils made the swine drown in the sea. My best guess is that latching onto a sea creature would be ideal for fast transportation.
If devils can cause insanity and suicidal thoughts, then this should be explored further. When I first started this channel I relied on fallible sources, and I believe I made many errors in doing so. From now on I am relying on the KJV, the infallible word of God. This way I can make much more accurate hypotheses.

There are two classes of people: those that will live forever in the kingdom of God, and those that will be thrown into the lake of fire after final judgement. Depending on which class you belong to, you will either immediately ascend or immediately descend when you die.
In other words, what I'm saying is that dead people don't float around on earth haunting us. There are spirits that hang out with us on earth, but they are not human. This is important to understand in this study.

John6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John6:41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
John6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
John6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
John6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
John6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
John6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Mark5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
Mark5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mark5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
Mark5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
Mark5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Mark5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
Mark5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
Mark5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
Mark5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Mark5:10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Mark5:11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
Mark5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
Mark5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
Mark5:14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
Mark5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
Mark5:16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
Mark5:17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
Mark5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

You may infer that this is increased strength, but I see this as just plain insanity; the dude can't be chained down because he's way too crazy to be dealt with.

Here we see that devils can compel someone to cut themselves.

crying
In the KJV "cry" means to speak in a loud voice. So this guy was screaming in the mountains.

This right here is exactly why I believe it is completely unfruitful to try and interact with devils in any capacity. They're a wildcard. At one point they may do something that is technically right and good, but then afterward do something crazy. Unless you're Jesus Christ who knows all things, I do not recommend dealing with devils in any way other than ignoring them and presenting the gospel to the victim.

Mark5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
Is not Jesus Christ the Son of the most high God? Here we have evidence that devils can tell the truth, at least in isolation. This proves that the words of devils cannot be reversed in order to understand good, further showing us that it is pointless for us to communicate with devils.

My name is Legion: for we are many.
I cannot confirm that all devils are like this, but Legion appears to be a hivemind.
