MYTH 4

SOME CHRISTIANS THAT BELIEVE IN THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THINK THEY HAVE ENTERED INTO A REALM OF DEMONS.  NOT EVERYTHING IS CAUSED BY A DEMON.  THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN THE ANGEL OF MUSIC FELL, ONLY A PORTION OF ANGELS WENT WITH HIM TO HADES.  REV. 12:3-4 STATES 1/3 OF THE STARS/ANGELS WENT WITH SATAN.  THIS MEANS BEHIND EVERY BUSH WHERE A DEMON IS HIDING, THERE ARE 2 ANGELS HOLDING HIM BACK. 

THERE ARE THREE ELEMENTS IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM: GOD, SATAN AND YOUR FLESH.  CERTAIN SINS ARE ENCOURAGED BY DEMONIC ACTIVITY, OTHER SINS COME FROM A PERSONS' OWN CARNAL NATURE.  GAL. 5:19 AND ICOR. 6:9-11 DESCRIBE SINS THAT ARE ROOTED FROM A PERSONS CARNAL NATURE/THE FLESH. A LOT OF THE SINS IN A PERSONS' LIFE COME FROM THE FLESH, NOT A DEMONIC ATTACK

I WAS ORDAINED BY THE 8TH LARGEST CHURCH IN THE U.S.  MY OWN PASTOR, WHO WAS AN EXCELLENT COUNSELOR, TAUGHT ON DEMONIC ACTIVITY IN A CHRISTIANS' LIFE.  HE EXPLAINED THAT THE IDEA OF COUGHING OUT A DEMON ISN'T CORRECT.  MY PASTOR SPOKE OF A PERSONS' MENTAL STATE OF MIND WHILE INDIVIDUALS ARE PRAYING OVER THEM FOR A HEALING.  HE EXPLAINED THAT THE COUGHING IN A DELIVERANCE COMES FROM AN EMOTIONAL RELEASE, NOT A RELEASE FROM A DEMON. 

I AGREE 100% WITH HIM IN THIS AREA.  IJOHN 5:18 SAYS JESUS PROTECTS A CHRISTIAN, SO THE DEVIL CAN NOT TOUCH HIM.  THAT INCLUDES POSSESSION OF A CHRISTIANS' SOUL.  IN EPH. 1:13 IT SAYS A CHRISTIAN IS SEALED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH CORRESPONDS WITH THE SAME IDEA IN IJOHN 5:18  GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH BEING IN MINISTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS.  THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, I HAVE ONLY SEEN 3 PEOPLE SHOWING DEMONIC ACTIVITY.  TWO PEOPLE WERE IN THE STATES, AND I KNOW THEY WEREN'T SAVED.  THE OTHER PERSON I SAW HAS BEEN WHILE TRAVELING OVERSEAS.  FROM WHAT I SAW OF THE PERSONS' ACTIVITY, I WOULDN'T CONSIDER THEM SAVED-ONLY GOD KNOWS.
