1 | Is demonic possession relevant today? | Acts 5:16 | michael03 | 193634 | ||
Hello, brothers and sisters.I was having a conversation with a co-worker earlier. We were talking about demonic influence. We both agree that a person who is unsaved could be possessed. I had a friend in Pa. who said that Jesus drove out all the demons while He was here on earth.I know a person can be influenced by demons, but I do not know of any verses that tell of demonic possession after Jesus ascended to Heaven. Can anyone help? God bless, michael. |

Greetings Michael! There aren't many references to demons or spirits after the time of Christ, but there are a few. Here they are: 1) Acts 5:15 - "Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by evil spirits, and all of them were healed." 2) Acts 8:7 - "With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed." 3) Acts 19:11 - "God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. 13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, ‘‘In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, ‘‘Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. 17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor." I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
