Christian Demon Possession—The question of Christians being demon possessed looms great in the minds of the newly saved and seasoned saint. Can they be possessed by the devil or does the New Birth make them invincible no matter what? The answer is the New Birth does make all Christians with the New Creation Spirit and the indwelling Holy Spirit (see Ezekiel 36:26–27) invincible to demonic possession. While they can be tempted and for a moment swayed by the devil, they cannot be possessed unless they are turned over. According to Scripture, there are two major reasons for Christians to be demon possessed, another phrase for turned over or surrendered. Prophets should be aware of them if they are to help set the captives free. The first reason is sexual immorality. The second reason is blasphemy. For scriptural examples of these two reasons for Christian demon possession, see 1 Corinthians 5:5 and 1 Timothy 1:20. The Creator/Savior premise for such actions are in John 8:34; 1 Corinthians 6:15; Romans 6:16. 284. Church—The word means in the Greek “called out one.” It comes from the Greek term ekklesia.

With these are the watchers who oversee the behavior and conduct of world leaders and their dominions to keep the balance of power the way God ordained. Lastly, are the seven archons of creation and with them the angels over the seven churches of Christ in Revelation.
