In this class I originally intended to pick up and continue from part 4, but early into the teaching I felt like the Holy Spirit was leading us in a different direction. So we discussed fear, anxiety, worry, depression, and other emotional issues. Then we talked about the ways that demonic activity can influence people in these areas, and what we as believers can do about it.

Can demons affect Christians? Can a believer have a demon? Can a Christian be possessed by a demon?
These questions come up very often when I teach on spiritual warfare and casting out demons. They are good questions. The answer, in my mind, mainly comes down to the definition of words. In this post I hope to explain this in a way that makes it very simple and obvious to understand. Read more
In this post, I want to go through some things we can learn from Jesus in the area of dealing with demons.
As I pointed out in other another post, there are two important facts we should keep in mind about Jesus and demons:
Jesus spent a lot of time and energy setting people free from demonic influence
Jesus always told all of his representatives to set people free from demons as a part of their mission.
Because of these two facts, I believe that any follower of Jesus should at least know the basics of how to exercise authority over demons. I find it unfortunate that such a major aspect of the ministry of Jesus is so often ignored. The children of God should be winning the spiritual battles that come against them, but so many times the people are either unprepared or completely ignorant of what is going on.
Though I do not consider myself an expert, I do feel like I have learned a lot of things that can be helpful. I have done my share of research, and I have acted on the things I have learned. Read more

Subject Matter: The children of God have been given authority over the kingdom of darkness, but many Christians are unaware of this fact.

Title: Casting Out Demons 3- Different Kinds of Demons
Subject Matter: In this class, we talked about some more areas that demons operate. Last week the focus was on the mind and emotions. This week was about how demons affect people in their bodies. We also spent some time talking about religious spirits and doctrines of demons that Paul mentions in his first Epistle to Timothy (1 Tim 4:1-4). Becoming aware of this kind of activity can help you identify lies and wrong beliefs about the nature our Father in heaven, and about our position in Him.
