“Hostile Reception”

Thursday, April 27, 2017

I have people that walk up and down my street; I always say, “Hi!” when I’m outside, but my problem is one person stopped, and I could feel the evil he had when he spoke; he had a demon in him, I think.  Is it possible for common people to feel or see others that are possessed?

Sincerely,
Creeped Out

Dear Creeped Out,

Demon possession ended not long after the days of Christ.  Jesus made it clear that one of His jobs was to bind the devil and take His strength away by casting out the demons (Matt 12:28-29).  When Jesus’ disciples had come back from their evangelism trips and related to Him that they had cast out many demons, Jesus told them that they were defeating Satan by getting rid of Satan’s demonic minions (Lk 10:17-18).  When Jesus and His disciples cast out demons, they did it permanently (Lk 8:30-33) and bound Satan by their acts.  We no longer have to deal with such overt attacks by the devil.  Demon possession no longer exists; the devil must use subtler methods to deceive us now.
