Yep. If we're not prayed up enough.
Mar 5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him,
Mar 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
Mar 5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
Mar 5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Mar 5:10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Mar 5:11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
Mar 5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
Mar 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
Zechariah 13:2; Matthew 12:43; Mark 1:23, 26; 3:30; 5:2, 8; 7:25; Luke 4:33; 8:29; 9:42; 11:24; Revelation 18:2;-These are the rest that I can see so far, but I stuck to unclean spirit.

Yes, I believe they are real, but they can only indwell people if that person allows them to. A devil cannot take over a Christian, since when a person becomes a Christian, the Holy Spirit comes and indwells in him, making it impossible to be possessed of a demon.
Read Luke 8:27-39.
Acts 2:38

Yes, devils are real.
Yes, they can indwell in people.
Yes, they can indwell in a Christian. That is why Christians need deliverance..from lying, pride, gluttony, lust, drugs,
stealing, bad habits, smoking , sex demon...The book of Galatians tells us there are fleshy Christians...then there are babes in Christ that are saved but have never been delivered from demons.
Then there are mature Christians that practice witchcraft...some without even realizing it. Just read the letters to the churches in the 2nd and 3rd book of Revelation.
Deliverance is different then salvation. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy household.That is salvation.
Deliverance from demons of drugs, lying, etc can come after salvation.
Some churches don't have the anointing and the power of God in their lives to cast out demons so they just deny the fact that you have a demon because you go to church and claim you are a christian. (then you can not be possessed.)

Devils - demons, all the same. Yes they are real. There are many scriptures.... Jesus cast demons out of people many times, so did the early apostles. A Christian cannot be totally "owned" or controlled by them, but can have demons in their life if they are in rebellion in some way or allow/invite spirits in.

The devil inside a christian is nothing more than a christian trying to get out of having the blame put on them for something they did.

I don't need to think about this at all, Demons are real, they haven't been locked up under key into the firery furnace, and they surround us, we need God, The only way that the devil is defeated is through Jesus, When Jesus Christ went to the cross, Satan lost the battle, If you have Jesus in your life, this will never be a worry.

Right off the top of my head, I would say that Christians would tell you they could become the victim of "demon possession" because Christians believe they are "sinners", therefore open to possession by an evil force. I have always assumed that strongly practising Christians do all the praying and churchgoing and bible reading and so on, that they do, in hopes of thereby warding off the "evil forces" that they fear could enter them if they let their guard down.

there is only one devil , the rest are his demons. The devil is real his angle name was morning star and was cast out to the outer ridge of heaven when he tried to take over heaven. yes Christians can have demons because we are human and not pure. his demons seeks us in our weakest state that's when you need to ask god to cast out the demon ,if the holy spirit is within you you can cast him out with Jesus help, just demand the demon to leave you in the name of the holy spirit and cast him out.

Yes demons are real.
I dropped my son off one day at Books a Million and when I went to pick him up, he was playing with some type of demonic cards with this young man dressed in all black. I ordered him to get up and admonished him to never do this again. Approximately two weeks later I went into my son's room to pray over him as I always did. As I began to lay hands on him and pray I heard this horrendous scream saying NO...............and my son grabbed my arm, I got away from him and pointed at this thing hissing at me and said, "I rebuke you Satan in the name of Jesus and instantly my son with a look of confusion said, "mom" as I stated my sons name I ask him if he understood what happened and he said no. But at the same time he had a look of terror on his face and chills all over him. My daughter who was 16 at the time heard the commotion and was terrified. My daughter and son slept in bed with me that night. My daughter slept with me for several months before she was ever able to go back to her room. She still sleeps with the light on and she is 17 years old.
Are demons real, you bet they are!!
God Bless You!
