demon possession

Pastor Mark Minnick preached a very helpful message this morning from Mark 1:21-24 that treats the subject of demonology in considerable detail:

A Powerful, Indwelling Demon Reacts to Jesus Christ

I heartily recommend the careful consideration of this treatment of the subject of demonology and examining your own beliefs in light of it to see how biblical is your demonology.

The term “possession” is not really in the original language of Scripture. The word “demonized” is. So the idae of possession is to be demonically influenced (strongly) or even controlled.

Most of us probably believe that a demon can control a lost person under certain conditions.

We might disagree as to how much influence a demon can have on a believer, but most of us believe in the idea that we are under attack, at times, by the powers of darkness.
