CHAPTER9

Demons in Christians

We must address directly the issue of demons indwelling Christians. I know this is a hotly debated topic. I myself used to think Christians could not have a demon indwelling them. That was until God called me into this ministry. Then I had to really search the scriptures and seek the Lord in prayer regarding this problem. I wish the Lord had made a plain statement in scripture one way or the other. No where does the Bible say specifically that a Christian can be indwelt by a demon and no where does it say that a Christian cannot be indwelt by a demon. So, let's look at some of the scriptures that apply to this problem. One of the main arguments used against Christians having demons is "what communion hath darkness with light?" Now, let's look at that scripture in context:

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God: as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." II Corinthians 6:14-18
