Can a Christian Have A Demon

CAN A CHRISTIAN HAVE A DEMON OR BE DEMON POSSESSED?

The question should be asked: what demon has you? What part or aspect of your life does the demon have a stronghold in your life? What area of your life can you not control?

Christ has paid the price to set us free, but many Christians are not free. They are bound by compulsions or problems such as fear, guilt, hurt, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, anger, lust, hate, sickness, or other emotional disorders. Yet, many Scriptures promise freedom, here are some:

• 'So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed' (John 8:36)
• 'For freedom, Christ has set us free' (Galatians 5:1)
• 'Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom' (2 Corinthians 3:17)

Many people in need of counseling, however, are not free. Why are there so many Christians who are not free? Have you asked that question? Does it mean that we cannot take these Scriptures literally? Or is there another answer? It shows that freedom is possible, and we can take the Scriptures at face value. A Spiritual Warfare digital downloadable book PDF - no shipping address is needed.

The answer lies in taking Jesus seriously. The Christian church in many places, particularly in the western world, has not accepted the threefold task given to it by Jesus, that is to preach the gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons (Matthew 10:7-8, Mark 6:13, Luke 9:1-2).

What are Demons?

• Demons are fallen angels. Satan (Lucifer) was cast out of heaven, and took a third of the angels with him (Ezekiel 28:14-18; II Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 12:4, 9).
• These "fallen angels" (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 12:7) are either bound, confined to the pit (or abyss; Revelation 9:1-11; Luke 8:31) or are abiding in the "heavenlies" and bothering man kind (Ephesians 3:10; 6:12). They seek to control individuals (Ephesians 2:1-2), political governments (Daniel 10:13, 20), and world perspective and events (John 12:31; Ephesians 6:11-12; II Thessalonians 2:8-10; Colossians 2:8). They always bring destruction in the end, for their goal is to oppose God and steal from, kill and destroy mankind (John 10:10).
• In fact, demonic spirits are in peace when they are in you (Luke 11:21) and not in peace when casting out demons out of you (Luke 11:24). Demonic spirits manifest their character in you. When out of you, they suffer and want back in you.

When removed, you have to fill yourself with the word of God, or they will go and bring seven more stronger than themselves (Luke 11:26).

If you suffer from some type of bondage or behavior that controls you, you might consider a deliverance ministry to remove the demonic strongholds (deliverance from demons) in your life.

Did you know 80 percent of all diseases have a spiritual root cause causing your sickness or disease? Diseases do not come from God but from the kingdom of darkness.

Most of the time, there is an open door for demons to get a hold of you, causing emotional, physical, and spiritual issues.

In Proverbs 26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, the curse causeless shall not come.
What are open doors? Sin issues, generational sin issues creating generational curses, traumatic events, etc.

Breaking Generational Curses - Abraham Bloodline of Lying

See an Example of Lying - Abraham and His Son - Generational Curses

Generational curses are sins of the forefathers but do not have to be yours, but there is a bent to participate in the sin. Watch the Video below:

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree,’” Galatians 3:13

Revelations 22:3 "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:"

We see there are curses to attend to until Satan is destroyed.

Generational curses are curses assigned to an individual(s) based on the sins of his/her parents. The person’s parents, not himself, cause the curses assigned to him/her. A person gets punished for the wrongs of the parents. Such are called generational curses.

Generational curses can come from both parents. This can be if each parent has an unrepentative sin. Generational curses act like familiar spirits traveling down the family tree.

An Example of a Generational curse in the Bible is seen in the life of Abraham:

Abraham travels to Egypt to escape the drought and tells Sarah to lie to Pharaoh because she is beautiful, and he is afraid he will be killed. Sarah agrees to lie, but Pharaoh discovers the truth in a dream. It was out of fear, fear of man, that he lied.

Abraham does it again – he travels to the land of the Philistine (Gaza strip) and lies to Abimelech. She says the same thing to Sarah, and Sarah agrees to lie.

His son, Isaac, travels with Rebecca (Gaza Strip), and they lie to Abimelech. He says the same thing to Abimelech and Rebecca as his father Abraham did 40 years earlier.

Abraham and Isaac taught their wives to lie. Rebecca lies later to Isaac with his son when it is time to bless Essah and Jacob.

4th generation – now Jacob’s sons lied to Jacob about Joseph being killed by an animal when he was sold for slavery. 10 sons are liars and are fearful.

Satan is the executor of the curse of the law

Christ didn’t do away with the law. He fulfilled it – Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”

Jesus made it possible for you to be free of your disobedience and to be free of the executor. He did that on the cross for us to make a way for our disobedience when we sin.

How to do it? Appropriate through obedience!

Exodus 20:5 “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;”

In ministry, it is clearly observed that what has been in a family tree is currently in people's lives: same sin issues, same disease.

Charge

God wants to know what you are going to do with creation.

Curse

Deuteronomy 28 is an excellent chapter on blessings and cursings that affect you (mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and financially).

Where does Disease Come From?

Disease is a type and shadow of Satan’s kingdom. It comes from Egypt and not Zion. For example, every time you go to a new doctor, don't they ask about your family history of diseases? Those are generational curses because of the sins of the forefathers.

Deductive reasoning

Disease is a curse, not a blessing (even today). The response of sick people, when asked if they consider their disease a blessing or a curse, some said curse (good answer, the Bible agrees); some said it’s from God (then why are you going to the doctor?). Those people don’t have an answer for disease, and they’re giving God credit to increase their spirituality. No, that’s ignorance.

Conclusion: Disease is a curse

The only way to break it is in your generation

Psychologists have been able to document that many of our personality characteristics, including rage, anger, predisposition to mental disorders, and certain diseases, can be found in humans without any genetic component, but it can still be inherited. No genetic or defective gene has been isolated, but the condition is still passed on in families. We consider those situations to be inherited familiar spirits that follow families, creating various breakdowns in the psyche or the soul.

Cause and Effect

If you don’t allow the Holy spirit to bring you to a place of repentance then God has no more to do.

The Pattern for Freedom

Neh. 9:1-2 “1Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them. 2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.


Final Charge

To encourage the church to bring people back into repentance

To help encourage others to look at generational curses

Do a family tree chart for four generations.

List all mental predispositions, sins, and tragedies and discover what flows from generation to generation.

If the flow is not stopped, it will flow into you, your children, and your grandchildren.

How does one get rid of the generational curse?


You read Deuteronomy Ch: 27 and Ch. 28 make list and take responsibility

You then take responsibility for your sin and forefathers and repent and renounce your sin and their sins back to Adam and Eve.

Next, remove the sin by casting out the spirit of alcoholism or whatever it might be.

Say, "I take this curse and cover it with the Blood of Jesus." (It is now washed away.)

Spiritual Strongholds

What are Spiritual Strongholds?

First of all, we need to realize there is an enemy, "satan," and his effort is to capture the minds of men and women and their souls through spiritual strongholds. The mind is the strong tower of the soul.

Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the mind rules our hearts and emotions and directs our lives. Satan knows if he can get hold of the way we think, he can expand his rule into every other area of our life.

Prov. 23:7 "for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."

Satan wants to control your thoughts in the conscious mind but also your motives and thoughts in our subconscious minds.

II Corinthians 10:3-5 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses/storngholds. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ."

What is a fortress/stronghold? It is a walled city with access to its water supply and plenty of storage space for food. The enemy attacks with warfare against fortresses. When trying to break into a fortress, the enemy will dig under walls, climb over walls, bust down the main door, or whatever to get entrance by hurling bounders against the walls and firebombs over the walls.

Paul uses this knowledge to describe the attack needed against the spiritual strongholds of the mind. We can destroy every stronghold because our weapons are eternal and invincible.

The enemy tries to break in with lying thoughts, negative thoughts from others, or feelings that have developed a life of their own within us. We were created in the image of God, but somehow we believe what others have said, what satan says, the accuser or ourselves believes the opposite of God, and that is what a stronghold is. It is a thought or belief that is not true about you, but you believe it.

An individual stronghold is more than a habit. It is a belief of fleshly control within us that uses habits to maintain control over us. Like for example, through belief or feeling, a habit of temper can develop to defend or cover up the insecurity or jealousy of wants, believing God does not want you to be blessed, or developing alcoholism to cover up the pain you are not loved. God's word says you are the apple of his eye.

These strongholds are the fortresses of thought, emotion, feeling, or negative belief about self or what God says about you.

The function of a stronghold is to put up smoke screens to keep things like sermons, teachings, and counseling from piercing our inner man with truths that could bring repentance and freedom.

A stronghold guards the untruths that bond us to self and the flesh. It keeps you from being able to renew the mind from seeing your own deceptions.

Strongholds give us tunnel vision, preventing us from seeing what common sense would tell us is wrong. It creates an inner captivity to deception and misery.

Again, the central core of strongholds are lies the enemy wants you to believe in, getting you to believe they are true about you.

God does not want your past to hold you back! God has made a way out, a way to unpack your bags of grief, pain, unforgiveness, guilt, shame, or even old patterns of relating.
