no, not if the Holy Spirit lives in side them 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? or... 2 Corinthians 4 There is no darkness in light! |

Hi, Vendeak7, and welcome to the forum. Depending on how you define "demon-possessed," a believer can be. When the topic is brought up, many tend to think of the possession in the "Exorcist." However, Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 10:4b - 5, "pulling down strongholds and casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." These are daily activities in which every believer should be involved. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16 When you look at "possessed" it means to "have control over." Many Christian lives are filled with depression, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, pride, and many other ungodly things. They are believers but have not been delivered from those strongholds. Where do these strongholds come from? Certainly not God! "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. . ." Hosea 4:6a There are believers who "float around on cloud nine" and think that because they believe, they are safe from the attacks of the enemy. There is a very good reason Gods tells us to "put on the whole armour." To believe is one thing, but to be free is another. The Holy Ghost empowers believers against the enemy and his spirits, but He's like a loaded gun in the hands of a baby - all power and don't know how to use it (Him). Some take Salvation at face value while the devil with his demons are afflicting their bodies, touching their finances, bothering their minds, and destroying their relationships. Some may think this is okay, but that's not what Jesus says. Yes, the demons acknowledge the Holy Ghost, He is God. However, spiritual ignorance gives them permission into lives. We (Holy Ghost filled believers) have the power (through faith in the Word of God) to pull down those strongholds and get those demons out of our lives. WalkingTalkingBible |
