Even Christians Can Have Demons
As Halloween approaches, I want to remind you of the dangers of the occult. The Bible tells us the source of occult deception: “The great dragon was cast out, that ancient serpent called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him” (Revelation 12:9 MEV).
The devil deceives the whole world, not just a part of it. In other words, we North Americans aren’t any more immune to deception than people who live in China or India or Africa or South America. The whole world is in trouble. We need to realize that the spirit world is real, that evil spirits exist, and that while most curses are self-inflicted through involvement in the occult or in other sins that we commit ourselves, Christians can also suffer from curses that are brought on by other people. Curses brought on by other people would include curses placed on believers by people who practice witchcraft OR by curses believers inherit because of the sins of their ancestors.
The good news of the Gospel is that if you are willing to repent of your own sins and the sins of your ancestors, and if you are willing to repent of any involvement in the occult, then there is a cure for almost every curse and almost every case of demonization. In fact, at the moment I can only think of one case in the Bible in which God didn’t heal a believer of demonization, and that was the apostle Paul: in 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 (MEV) Paul writes, “And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me, lest I be exalted above measure. I asked the Lord three times that this thing might depart from me. But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
The apostle Paul was demonized by a messenger of Satan, but please note that Paul’s thorn was only in his flesh. I hope the apostle Paul will forgive me for using the word “only” about something that tormented him like that.
