CAN A CHRISTIAN BE DEMON POSSESSED?

A demon can attach itself to a Christian to the point of controlling them and even oppress them to the point of suicide without ever really possessing them. Those who justify their sin and continue a sinful lifestyle open themselves up to a satanic bondage that will eventually end up in judgment. The wages of sin is death, and for the sinning Christian: the loss of life and their rewards in heaven. If they were ever truly saved, they will enter heaven bankrupt and ‘by the skin of their teeth.’ The apostle Paul called it being given over to the destruction of the flesh that their spirit might be saved.

We are warned not to give place to the devil. Ecclesiastes warns, if you break a hedge a serpent shall bite you. The scriptures also teach, he that seeks to hide his sin will not prosper and to be sure your sins will find you out. You reap what you sow. Paul said I will not be brought under the power of anything. When a thing tells you when and where, you are in bondage to it and become its slave. Obeying the lust of the flesh invites evil spirits to participate with you which will inevitably involve demonic activity in your life to the point of manifestation. This condition is often confused with demon possession because it is so closely related to it. We are bought with a price by the blood of Christ. We are not our own, nor can we belong to another. We have been paid in full, no demon can lay claim to our soul. A Christian cannot be a demons possession but they can become somewhat of a trophy to their destruction.
