Are you asking if a Christian can become demon possessed? Then no I do not think it is possible.
Can demonic entities actually terrorize Christians using external methods? I really do think so, yes. Will God remove it from your life? Possibly no.
2 Corinthians 12:7-8
7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

Yes the him is most like the devil. The blood of the Lamb spoils principalities and powers and publicly shames Satan at least in a spiritual way. But if you'll notice Revelation 12:12 it says the devil has wrath that he'll release on the world. This context is building up to what Satan will do on earth during the great tribulation.
But here's a different verse that maybe helps add perspective to what Jesus did:
Colossians 2:13-15
13And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
