Demons...what we need to know

Welcome back to Conquering Our Unseen Enemies.  Today I want to address some questions that will also serve to clarify some misconceptions.  So we will be discussing:  What is a Demon? What is a Believer? Can believers be demon possessed?  Is casting out demons real and can we really cast out (evict) demons the way Jesus did?  What authority do we have to tell evicted demons where to go?  Can we evict demons in non-believers?

Episode Recap

·      They have characteristics that reveal their role in their warfare against us.

·      We need to clarify here when I refer to a believer what I am specifically saying.  A believer is someone who has accepted Jesus as their savior.  Someone who believes that Jesus is the son of God, who died for their sins, was resurrected and ascended back into heaven at the right hand of God.  

·      Believers cannot be demon possessed because we have salvation in Jesus and therefore cannot be possessed by someone or something not of God.  Believers can be demonized, and can be indwelt.  

·      Casting out, or evicting, demons is very real. The Holy Spirit is always in control so you need to make sure you are yielding to the Holy Spirit.  

·      We have very little authority to tell evicted demons where to go, but the Holy Spirit may give us specific instructions so we need to listen always

·      Demons can be evicted in non-believers but it is not the best long term solution.  It is better to bring that person to salvation and then evict. 

We encourage you: 

·      To have an active Bible reading plan, it will be helpful in gaining wisdom and understanding and it is required for the gift of spiritual discernment 

·      Watch the video on our YouTube channel, Life Journey with Dawn Simmons for additional background on the demon of divination Paul was addressing.
