Can Christians Wrestle With the Demonic?
Can Christians really have demons? This might sound wild, but Joshua Lewis dives into why the answer is a resounding “yes” – and what the Bible says about it!
Transcript Summary
In this Remnant Radio mini episode, Joshua Lewis directly addresses the question of whether Christians can experience demonic influence. He begins by clarifying terminology, moving away from the often-debated terms “possession” and “oppression” to focus instead on “demonic activity” or “demonization.” He builds his argument by carefully examining key New Testament passages, including Paul’s instructions to the Corinthians about avoiding fellowship with demons and the warning in Ephesians to not give the devil a foothold. He also discusses the armor of God as protection against the “fiery darts of the evil one.” While acknowledging the complexities and debates surrounding the topic, Lewis concludes that, based on his interpretation of Scripture, Christians can indeed be subject to demonic activity, even while remaining secure in their salvation.
