Hi guys! There's afriend I've known since we were youths(we're now both married), we got saved in our teens both passionatedly love God! Aguest speaker visited our local church and was talking about deliverence! Towards the end of the service he called out my friend and told him he was posessed by the spirit of anger from his family lineage! He prayed for him and he fell on the ground for awhile, when he got up the preacher declared him free! Since that day I've had this disturbing question! Can one be the temple of the Holy Spirit and still be ahabitation of demons? Please guys help me understand these!!
Our bodies are a temple God made for His Holy Spirit to dwell in, but there is also the
spirit of this world, who is
of the Prince of this world the Devil. That spirit and sin nature entered
into the world by way of sin, as shown in the first man Adam. Thus we see the need to be born again of the Holy Spirit of God and given a new nature in Christ.
Once we are born again of the Holy Spirit He becomes the strong man of our house and He gives us the ability to resist and overcome the world and the works of the Devil. When the Light of the Lord enters into your house the darkness will soon flee, as darkness has no place in the Light.
Abide in the Light of the Truth and the wicked one will not be able to touch you.
1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that
wicked one toucheth him not.
