Subject: Can a believer be possessed? |
Bible Note: Many believers have a problem when we say a Christian can have a demon. My Aunt and Uncle have seen hundreds of Christians delivered from demons and it is a fact that yes, a Christian can have a demon. What seems to be a hindrance to accepting this is the term "demon possessed." when referring to a Christian this would be unbiblical because possessed would mean that the demons own them. A Christian can be tormented by a demon but it could not possess them. Ownership of a Christian belongs to God. It is biblical that both believers and non believers can be afflicted by demons. Ephesians 6:12 says Christians have to battle against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. These are demons. We are told in the scriptures that we will come against these spirits. The good news is we have the authority to cast them out. Besides, what would you rather do, stay bound up because it does not fit your theology, or say, "Yes Lord, I want to do whatever it takes to be free, I'm tired of this torment." To read about how they affect us look at 1 Tim 4:1, Matt 17:20, Rev 16:13-14, Luke 13:16, Matt 10:1, Mark 5:2; 7:25, Luke 8:27-29, Rev 16:13; 18:2 Your friend in Christ, Amanda01 Information from :Deliverance and Restoration Manual" Published by Isaiah 62:4 Ministries Rev.
