There are '''NO''' Scriptures that say "Christians" '''CAN''' or '''CANNOT''' have Demons!
Matter of fact, the word Christian(s) only appears THREE times in the entire Bible!
'''__CHRISTIANS CAN HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT, AND GET MANY THINGS THEY DON'T WANT__!'''
Many '''BELIEVERS''' in the Bible had demons. Are you a '''BELIEVER?'''
There are NO Scriptures that say '''UNSAVED''' people '''CAN''' or '''CANNOT''' have demons, or that your demons leave when you get Saved. So who has demons? '''EVERYONE!!'''
Mark 16:17 in the Bible says '''THOSE THAT BELIEVE SHALL CAST OUT DEMONS'''.
That means '''__ALL''' Believers__ '''-MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN!'''
Demons are anything that '''CONTROLS, HARASSES, TORMENTS''', or '''DRIVES''' you to do things you ought not to do or wish you didn't do.
Temper, depression, fear, sickness, suicidal, homosexual, rejected, obese, to mention a few, are demons.
They are '''INSIDE''' of you.
We are body, soul, and Spirit. The demons get IN our body and cause sickness. Demons are the reason obese people cannot keep the weight off in many cases. '''__YOU CANNOT DIET A DEMON AWAY__'''. It must be cast '''OUT''' in the name of '''JESUS'''.
The demons get '''IN''' our soul (that's your mind, will, and emotions). You think, do, and act in a way you shouldn't and wish you didn't.
Demons '''CANNOT''' get into your Spirit though. That is where '''JESUS''' resides. This is how Christians CAN and DO have demons. However, the demons '''SURROUND''' your Spirit so you cannot do the things you ought to do, like pray, read the Bible, study.
Clasp your two hands together tightly interlocking your fingers. Squeeze hard. Nothing can get in your palms, not even air. This is what the demons do to your '''SPIRIT''', the place where Jesus and the Holy Spirit are. '''DELIVERANCE''' releases these demons, causing you to grow closer to Jesus. Obviously there are Christians who are not yet totally "clenched" by the demons, but it is their goal.
'''CAUTION!!'''
In the event you are very critical of the '''DELIVERANCE''' message, or especially if you have a mocking demon (making fun of '''JESUS CHRIST''' and the Miracle of '''DELIVERANCE'''), there is a good chance that Psalm 109:1, Isaiah 54:17, and many other like Scriptures will take effect on you. I have seen it happen to many. You reap what you sow, but maybe, just maybe, if you sincerely ask JESUS to forgive you, there may be a chance of the judgment of God not falling on you.
To become a Christian, Romans 10:9 says, "Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that '''JESUS''' is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." You must believe '''JESUS''' is the Son of God, that He died for your sins, and that you are sorry for and repent of your sins.
Say this prayer, but be sincere -
"Father, in '''JESUS'''' name I ask you to forgive me of all my sins. I repent Lord. Come into my life. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. With your help, I will "stop sinning" (John 5:14). Amen."
Everyone involved with '''DELIVERANCE''' cast demons '''OUT of CHRISTIANS'''. If you cast demons out of non-Believers, they could not keep the demons out because '''JESUS''' is not Lord of their life. If you only used common sense, it should persuade you.
The demons are stronger than common sense though. You will not believe how much your eyes will be opened after just one '''DELIVERANCE''' session. I use to take a before and after photograph of Christians who came to us for help.
Just '''ONE DELIVERANCE''' session shows on their face, and I have the photos to prove it. I stopped taking pictures when I realized that some would not even believe that piece of evidence.
If a person does not believe in hell, does it change the fact? If a person does not believe in Speaking in '''TONGUES''', does it change the fact? If you don't believe demons are '''INSIDE''' of you, it doesn't change the fact. Remember the "once I was blind but now I see" guy in the Bible (John 9:25)? The religious demons would not believe him or his parents. He was, however, set free.
'''JESUS''' came to set the captives free and to destroy the works of the devil. Do you want to be free, or would you prefer that the demons you don't think you have keep you in bondage? You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. There was a time when I thought I did not have demons too.
However, I prayed, "IF I have any demons, I want to get rid of them". I wasn't even convinced about the demons, but my heart was right. '''JESUS''' did indeed set me free, just as He wants to set everyone free (after they get saved).
It was not automatic. I had to '''DO''' something. That was to submit to '''DELIVERANCE'''. When you got saved, you had to '''DO''' something. It was not automatic. I had a ton of demons, most of which had to do with my religious background. It should be our goal to get rid of all the demons we are aware of.
Paul's thorn '''IN''' the flesh was a demon. Paul said so!
The devil entered '''INTO''' Judas.
JESUS told Peter, "get behind me, satan" because the devil got '''INTO''' Peter.
Ananias and Sapphira were Believers.
The woman with the '''ISSUE OF BLOOD''' was a Believer.
The woman who was bowed over "all these years" was a Believer.
'''MARY MAGDALENE''' - Mary was a Believer, and had demons cast '''OUT''' of her. Mark 16:9 "Now when '''(JESUS)''' was risen early the first (day) of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, '''OUT''' of whom He had cast seven demons." Luke 8:2 "And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, OUT of whom went seven demons,". '''OTHER''' women also got some '''DELIVERANCE!'''
Mark 7:21-23, '''JESUS''' speaking - "For from '''WITHIN'''...", then He mentions a bunch of demons INSIDE. I am here to tell you by personal experience that FEW accept the reality of demons '''INSIDE''', even though '''JESUS''' said it. Then they say, "well, they are not demons, that's their personality." It is indeed '''THEIR''' personality.
But it is the '''DEMON's''' personality. Do you have a job? What do you do all day at that job? The demons also have a job. They also do it all day. A lying demon makes you lie. A fear demon makes you afraid. A temper demon makes you have a temper.
A suicide demon makes you want to kill yourself. (__If you thought about killing yourself, the demon is there. They are good at their job, but sometimes they would rather torment you with the idea for years before they perform their job.__)
Before you got Saved, you didn't believe it. Before you spoke in '''TONGUES''', you didn't believe it. (Some of you still don't believe it.)
Look what you missed all those years. Well, '''DELIVERANCE''' is another gift or blessing from God to make our life down here a little better. Of the thousands and thousands of Christians who had many, many demons cast '''OUT''' of them, you could never convince them they never really had demons.
'''DELIVERANCE''' was removed from the church by the devil about 300 years after JESUS rose from the dead. No wonder so many people have not heard about it.
