Moment of faith, I don't have a cape, but it's Col. 1:13-18. The Greek even uses the same technical term witches use, pleroma in vs. 16. In practice, the Holy Spirit in us keeps most of them away on a day-to-day basis. If you know your righteousness, and stay close to Jesus, you can easily drive them out of any who desire it. (With or without the "bells and whistles" of the pea soup vomited, people flying through the air, the demon reciting your sins in public or banging on the door as it tries to leave, and whatever else Holywood is showing in the latest movie.) My wife and I have both sent demons packing for a while at least, by just ordering them to leave the area under our breath, when we got tired of listening to swearing while waiting for a bus, for example. People who insist on being possessed, like witches, can be turned away just by telling God you trust Him for your doorknob not to be touched; my wife once watched them through the window where she was ministering the music at a home church and did not wish to let anyone know who the people were. The demon must obey Jesus in you, and if you know your righteousness in Him, you will not use this other than in the way He directs, so it will always work. The demon cannot stay when you exert Jesus' authority; if the person purposely wants to keep the demon, he leaves.
Who trembles in the name of Jesus ??? Demons aka Fallen Angels -- As they said you have come before your time.
Matthew 8
29 They began screaming at him, “Why are you interfering with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before God’s appointed time?”
30 There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding in the distance. 31 So the demons begged, “If you cast us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”

Yes, Jude and Peter are both taking about fallen Angels.Why were the angels put in chains for not obeying GOD and having sex with a woman. If you reread my post I said Angels were not to have children because they live forever this was not given to them. They desired to have children and went into the daughters of men. Women and sex with fallen angels the children from this mating are an abomination because human women were never met to have children with fallen angel. Women were only to have children with human men. Look where I say the Nephilim are the children of the fallen angels and then I answer the question when the nephilim lose their flesh part given by the woman then they are now spirit only and at that time they become demons. So I answered the question. If you know the book of Enoch then you know it goes into more detail about what the fallen angels were doing and their offspring.

I won't try and explain it but these Bible verses come to mind...
Revelation 16
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and[f] of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
personally I don't really care who they used to be. I am more concerned with what they are doing in the present time. How through God's love and wisdom we can break the chains of lies and sins that they use to enslave the people around us.

The book of Enoch as the world knows it is a fake and not to be trusted as inspired scripture. I know people won't like hearing it but I'm going to be blunt.
The verse from Revelation refers to the demons as the Beast, the False prophet and the Dragon. they have evil spirits come out of them.
Just as the HOLY Spirit comes forth from the Father. However God is much MORE than any angel or demon could ever hope to be. Just as the Holy Spirit is more as well. however that is another topic.
someone quoted verses as if the HOLY Spirit could be divided and spread among people but that understanding goes against scripture that says ONE Spirit.
Just read the Bible, pray about it. don't be afraid to admit you may be wrong and God will lead you to know what you need to know and tell you that you don't need to know everything you might want to know.

Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Matthew 12:43-45 When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.” Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” ...

Acts 16:16-18
As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling.

Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

No one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him
Mark 3:22-30 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.
