Would you let a homeless gay drug addict in-law brother stay at your house?

Someone who currently or in the past used drugs habitually rather than recreationally or medically.
 
In this case, I would help get them into or on wait list for a rehab program. In our town there is a group that specifically takes in homeless addicts, and we are a small town. Your local United Way may have the name of some programs for your brother.

I don’t want to dismiss the idea of demons as I definitely do believe that genuine possession can occur,but have you also consider the possibility of having sleep paralysis?
This can be flared up in times of stress which would make sense considering the situation with your brother-in-law.

I believe sleep paralysis can happen. I’ve never had my whole body frozen, or something heavy on my chest. I understand those things.

Last night I did Spiritual Waefare prayers asking St. Michael to at least send a couple of his warrior Angel’s to help us.

Then around 12:30am, by wife gets up to use the restroom, and she wakes me up that there’s a presence blocking the exit to our room. She said it looked like a silhouette of water in the form of a large standing person. Then she screamed to get up, there’s two more in the hallway. I then get up, turn on the light and get holy water and sprinkle it around our house while doing spiritual warfare prayers. They didn’t attack us, so I told her it might have been those Holy Angels I prayed to protect us, and not demons.

a brother in-law is part of your family, which gives you an even greater responsibility to help.

Whether he stays in a tent in the back yard or has a room in the house would depend on many other factors.

True, we’ve done what we can, and he’s stayed her many times, with no results in him bettering himself. We’ve asked him many times to go to rehab, but he won’t go.
 
He sleeps on the streets many times too. Sad situation

A friend of mine wanted to be charitable to a drug addict he knew, so he let the guy live in his apartment with him till he got on his feet. It was a nice big apartment, three bedrooms I think, with bay windows and walk-in closets, in a beautiful old Victorian in San Francisco. The addict was trying very hard to get himself clean and sober, but he kept backsliding and making big mistakes. My friend had a great old vintage LP collection that began slowly disappearing, and when he found out the addict was selling the records off for drugs, my friend had had enough and kicked him out. Some days later, my friend was sitting in the living room watching TV when he heard what sounded like rats scratching in one of the walk-in closets. He went to investigate and found a total stranger inside. It was another homeless drug addict, friend of the one who got kicked out, and he had just moved in on the sly and had made himself a little cubbyhole in one of the less used closets. Apparently he would come out to eat and use the toilet while my friend was out at work, then when he came home the guy would stay still as a mouse in the closet. After I heard that story, any desire I might have had to have homeless drug addicts in my home evaporated. Not worth it.
 
That is a tough situation. Do you have children? Would it be a concern that this person would negatively influence them or put them into danger? Sometimes the most charitable thing to do is to allow someone to suffer the ill effects of their sin.

Please pray for us tonight. My wife is bringing him to our house right now without my consent. I need big powerful prayers please …
 
Have you ever had these experiences in the day time hour?
Or in times that you weren’t under stress or sleeping in a different location-eg:a hotel or friends place?
