well they can tempt us and lead us astray. But if we seek Jesus completely and also ask him when things come to our mind or heart then we know it is good or bad.

No...if a person is born again ( of the spirit of God ) definitely not....
You cannot have satan and God living in you at the same time. The Bible does refer to people being indwelt by evil spirits..and Jesus set these people free..or to put it another way..Jesus delivered them from these evil spirits.
I don't know exactly what you mean by believing in Jesus..if you are asking for yourself, are you saved? if you need more help, either email me or email someone here you feel you can trust...
I will pray right now for you, don't worry, ask The Lord for the answer...be filled with the peace of Jesus, and be blessed xxx

The specifics about Satan and demons and their interactions with mankind is largely conjecture. Scripture doesn't discuss this in detail. Those who are inclined to believe in Satan as a physical entity believe that he, along with the other fallen angels, continue to tempt mankind in many forms, just as the serpent tempted Adam and Eve.
Most Christians will agree that Satan can not "possess" anyone who has the Holy Spirit. Its usually "accepted" that those who become possessed do so by opening themselves up in some way -- in the movie "The Exorcist", the little girl was possessed after using a Ouija board.
Unfortunately, you can not blame Satan for making you do things. Even in The Bible, Satan just offers "an alternative" -- Adam and Eve chose that alternative.

1- Satan himself will not possess a person until after the rapture
2- demon possession only occurs in non-Believers. Satan cannot drive out the Holy Spirit
3- believing Jesus existed isn't enough. you must be born again
4- if a demon enters you, it crushes your will and has control over your body. an imp will have limited control (vomitting, convulsions), a middle-class demon may have quite a bit of control (make you move here, make you speak certain things), but a devil may have nearly total control (unnatural occurances, almost no free will at all, can even control how, what and at what level you think).

No. People do devilish things by choice. It has nothing to do with a "devil".

If you are a Child of GOD (got Born-Again) the devils CANNOT Possess you.
Possession comes from those things getting ahold of your spirit (the Real you) and once your Spirit is Recreated, they CANNOT get ahold of your Spirit.
Now, they can give you Hell in your Soul Though!
Look up Salt Water and Fresh Water shouldn't come out of the same spicket!!
I think it is in James, but not sure.
Ditto.............

People on death row believe in Jesus. If you are not living for him then you most certainly are living for satan. You don't have to try hard, it's really very simple. You have to do more than just believe in Jesus, you must participate in his belief system also.

When you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit lives in you. You are "filled" with the Spirit. No other spirit, besides your own human spirit, can abide within you. You can be influenced externally by evil, but not possessed. And when you trust in Him, who has overcome the power of sin, you can resist temptation.

when romans wanted to rule the world completely they used the discovery of radio waves to implant a receiver into every child within their realms so they could order them any place on earth.
thus like bible stated, when you hear the voice of God in the wilderness, obey it. because if you don't they will talk you to death and get the other tortured souls with the implants to kill you just for a night of radio implant free sleep.
so yes the Devil of the Abyss, called Abaddon(a bad don) possessed you from birth, when their doctors(slaves afraid to fight romans) implanted the device.

The devil cannot make you do anything.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
Blaming the devil does not exonerate you or anyone else. It's a cop out.
