Seeing The Unseen ch. 9
Greetings one and all! I pray this day has been a good one for all of you.
Today we'll discuss Can Demons Still Possess People?. This is chapter nine in Seeing The Unseen. Demons are still here. They never left the scene after the New Testament was completed. They can't possess Christians. As long as we are following Christ, His Holy Spirit indwells us and demons can't possess someone who is Spirit-indwelled. As long we remember we died with Christ in baptism (Romans 6:3-4) then we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. But we can be demonized. This is when a demon "assumes a position of extreme influence and inordinate power over the person's decisions and actions". In Ephesians 4:27 we read, "do not give the devil a foothold". Demons can still tempt us and take us off guard. When we're taken off guard we give the devil "a foothold" and he by-passes our defenses and we fall into sin. We will seem to have "inordinate control". We'll seem "irresistably compelled and helpless even when he or she isn't". But there is help for the demonized. We need God's overwhelming power to deliver us from this.
That is all for today. Tomorrow we'll look at How Do Christias Overcome The Demonic?
God bless you all in Jesus' name!
