We must beware of the false doctrine that teaches Christians can have a demon. Ever since Derek Prince, wrote the heretical book called (Spiritual Warfare). Many false teachers have risen up and formed the false movement we see today called (Deliverance Ministries). These false teachers have fooled so many within the charismatic movement, and even some in the baptist denomination, and some other denominations as well.

They falsely teach that a genuine christian, can become demonized, or demon possessed, or bound be demons. They teach that the sins that we commit are actually directly related to and caused by demons, and evil Spirits, but the Bible calls these sins the “works of the flesh” The Bible tells us that Paul told the Galatians, the works of the flesh are evident, (manifest) (obvious), there is no ambiguity when it comes to the works of the flesh, there is no hiding the evilness of the sinful nature, and a mind that is controlled by lust, greed, arrogance, vileness, hatred, discord, pride, and jealousy.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, ²⁰ idolatry,sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy,outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions,dissensions, factions, ²¹ envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I am warning you about these things—as I warned you before—that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

The Word demonized means that you are influenced and controlled by the power of demons, The Devil cannot control or manipulate a Christian, the devil can only attack, and tempt, and accuse a Christian, we are Sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit, and washed in the Blood of The Lamb of God Jesus Christ-

The Lord Jesus Christ said “If the Son sets you free, you really will be free.” (John 8:36)

St Paul told the church in Corinth “ Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17)

The Devil cannot have a Stronghold of complete bondage, or dominance over your soul, or a position of control over the life of a True Christian- This false (Spiritual Warfare) Terminology of “Christians being Demonized” is only meant to deceive people into believing that they can have a demon, or be controlled by a demon, the Bible never teaches this…

All these false ideas about us opening spiritual doors come from witchcraft not from the Bible. Here is what the Bible really says about giving the enemy of our souls an opportunity, to accuse us and condemn us by our poor choices and our rebellion from the Lord God Almighty.

Ephesians 4:27-30
Christian Standard Bible

27 and don’t give the devil an opportunity. 28 Let the thief no longer steal. Instead, he is to do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need. 29 No foul language should come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear. 30 And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by him for the day of redemption.
