Can a Christian Be Demon Possessed? What the Bible Really Says...

Can a Christian be demon possessed? Can someone belong to Jesus and still need deliverance? Pastor Alex Meadows examines these questions through Scripture and explains the distinction between demonic possession, demonization, and ownership. In this Bible teaching, we explore spirit, soul, and body; the Greek word daimonizomai; accounts of Jesus casting out demons; and the question of whether a believer filled with the Holy Spirit can experience demonic influence. Pastor Alex explains his understanding of why belonging to Christ and experiencing spiritual bondage are different questions—and why freedom in Jesus is the goal.
