I never know what folks are looking to see when they ask about pointing out when Satan has possessed someone, I mean even when the utterance of Peter was looked upon and spoken to as Satan, and when Satan entered into Judas who betrayed the Lord, it wasnt something that was obvious to anyone (especially the disciples) either time.
Even before the cross with the demon possessed I dont recall in any of the circumstances where he asked their name and they said, "Oh I am Satan" but when the woman with the spirit of infirmity was spoken of Christ called that as being bound by Satan (not just bound by and evil spirit) and likewise we see men trying to cast out an evil spirit after the cross also, I would think the same was true there.

And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
and by the way your on exorcism things right now
thats why you have put those evil things unto something which could be said only by those who experienced it literaly and spiritualy

when its our faith is on the line tempted by those evil things
we pray and ask for giuide in order not to be corrupted by satan

5. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

9. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Bowman, what would that prove? Nothing at all! It's actually ridiculous! Why would you think that scripture would record every time Satan possessed someone? And this is what you want to base you proof on regarding Satan being bound? I can just point to the evil in the world and prove that Satan is not currently bound. And he won't be bound in the Abyss for a literal thousand years until after God's wrath has been poured out via the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments, followed by Jesus' return to end the age to establish His millennial kingdom. You're going to find out that these events are going to take place literally and in the chronological order that they are listed in the word of God, regardless of your Amillennialist view.[/FONT]

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
18. Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
19. And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20. Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
21. And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
22. Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

Heb 1.1
πολυμερως και πολυτροπως παλαι ο θεος λαλησας τοις πατρασιν εν τοις προφηταις επ εσχατου των ημερων τουτων ελαλησεν ημιν εν υιω
POLYMERŌS kai POLYTROPŌS palai ho theos lalēsas tois patrasin en tois prophētais
By many portions and in various forms, God spoke to the fathers in the prophets;
The Book of Hebrews is aptly named for the OT material of which it contains.
Heb 1.1 immediately informs the reader that the One God of the OT has always revealed Himself ‘by many portions’ (polymeros) and ‘in various forms’ (polytropos).
These two Greek terms are only used this one time/ea in the entirety of the Holy Bible, and lexically are defined as ‘One of the constituent parts of a whole; in a context where the whole and its parts are distinguished.’
A clear signal of the ONE Triune Creator God of the Universe.

I asked this of you for the past year, and you still can't even show us one verse.
What's the matter...?
One of many scriptural proofs....you can't even get past...so you throw a tantrum...
Not impressed.
As a literalist, you overlook the fact that there are 200,000,000 demons that are in the world today, per Revelation.
More than enough to provide evil across the planet.
Spread your hypocrisy elsewhere...
Jesus, Himself, told us in Mat 24 that terrible things would occur BEFORE the end comes, and BEFORE the release of the 'abomination of desolation' (i.e. Satan).
Jesus lists-out many things occurring BEFORE the release of Satan....false prophets, wars, rumors of wars, nation set against nation, famine, plagues, earthquakes, the killing of Christians, etc...
So....what we are seeing today IS to be expected, per scripture.
But....
When Satan is unbound, we will see, for a brief period, 'great affliction, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.'
Everything going on in the world today has been seen played-out in various forms for thousands of years.
Clearly, any student of scripture can see that Satan is bound today.
Study your scriptures, and thank God that Satan is currently bound!
It doesnt say they were possesed of Satan either time really. Being bound by Satan is shown in the woman with "a spirit of" infirmity alone, and not that she had Satan inside her but something more ressembling "a messenger of" Satan even in her flesh.
And here, between Judas where it says,
John 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him
And here, with Ananias
Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
The devil (who is Satan) put it in both their hearts before the cross and after, whether to betray Christ or lie to the Holy Ghost and keep back part of the price of the land, we see the same thing going on.
Then there are these taken captive by the devil
2 Ti 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
We must have a bound devil taking people captive at his will then eh?

Yes, it does.
Show us...
Two entirely different Greek verbs are employed, with two entirely different meanings.
The 'Devil's snare' is what has already occurred to Satan at The Cross...i.e. he was judged at that point, according to scripture.
If you look at the five Greek locations of this word (and its inflections), you can easily see that this has everything to do will falling into the trap of being Judged, of which, Satan has already been.
This passage is a predicament of Judgment....NOT a declaration of Satan's authority.

1 Peter 5.8
νηψατε γρηγορησατε ο αντιδικος υμων διαβολος ως λεων ωρυομενος περιπατει ζητων καταπιειν
nēpsate grēgorēsate ho antidikos hymōn diabolos hōs leōn ōryomenos peripatei zētōn tina katapiein
Be sober-minded, watch, the adversary devil of you walks about in the same manner as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour;
This passage does not refer to ‘The Devil’ himself, as ‘diabolos’ is anarthrous (i.e. it lacks a preceding Greek definite article).
Further, ‘ho antidikos’ (the adversary) is used in only one other NT passage, Mat 5.25, and is in the context of being thrown into prison.
