 Breaking Curses, Including Breaking Generational Curses (book by Eric Gondwe)
Chapter 6. The Nature of Angels: God’s Angels and Fallen Angels This chapter deals with the nature of angels – both God’s angels and fallen angels. It answers critical questions regarding the nature of angels. Who are angels? What do they do? Do the angels from the different camps (God and Satan) have different abilities? Do they have any powers that are independent from God’s restrictions? And so on. The chapter highlights the behind the scenes role angels play in the spirit realm in relation to curses and to our Christian lives in general. In regard to God’s angels it’s an uplifting chapter for understanding the ministry of his angels to God’s children. In regard to fallen angels it’s also an uplifting chapter for understanding how outnumbered, outmatched, and outperformed, they are when compared to God’s angels. Fallen angels are basically constrained and limited in fulfilling their wishes. They’re under God’s full watch with his angels overcoming them where it’s needed. Summary of this Chapter:

Unique Abilities of God’s Angels
Unique Abilities of Fallen Angels. God’s angels and fallen angels
Isn’t Satan able to bring about outcomes in the physical realm in spite of being a spirit being? The answer is yes. However none of his outcomes include curses he originated. As said earlier, he is unable to originate curses because of his limitation to express his evil intentions in the physical realm. There would be more chaos than we have today if Satan had the ability to come into the physical realm and curse people. Thanks be to God he’s not able to. We’ve enough problems already as a result of his indirect influence. Just as God’s angels have limited authority or permission to carry out affairs or events in the physical realm Satan too has this limited permission. Remember that Satan is also an angel, only a fallen angel. His angelic abilities were not stripped from him after he rebelled. All the fallen angels have the same abilities before their rebellion in heaven. Their demotion came in the form of being cast out of glorious heaven. Now they’re using their abilities for evil purposes. But they’re no match against God’s angels. Fallen angels are outnumbered by a 1 to 3 ratio by God’s angels. Let’s now look at the nature of all these angels (God’s angels and the fallen angels): 1. Angels are spirit beings created by God
Angels were created by God and were created separately from human beings. Thus they’re not human beings who have died and gone to heaven. “For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy,” Colossians 1:16-18. “You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you,” Nehemiah 9:6. Thus even Satan himself was created by God. He just rebelled and now remains in the category of fallen angels. 2. Angels’ nature is superior to the human nature
“What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet,” Hebrews 2:6-7 3. Angels have no gender & other human physical features
Angels do not have human earthly features of gender, race and other human physical appearances. However they can use these features when appearing in human form. In other ways they can take the form of human beings once God allows them to appear in the earthly realm. “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels,” Luke 20:34-36. Every time gender is assigned to an angel in the bible, it is male, with a “he, him, etc” male reference. Even fallen angels have such references. And the names we know of relating to some angels are masculine: Michael, Gabriel and even Satan the fallen angel. However this does not mean that angels are male. Angels do not procreate (have children) and thus do not have characteristics that would give them gender attributes. The male gender references to angels are merely descriptive. Such language also helped in bringing what would have been mysteries to a level of human understanding. There is consensus in the body of Christ on the genderless nature of angels. 4. Angels do not get old, sick, or die
“…they can no longer die; for they are like the angels,” Luke 20:36 “And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever,” Revelation 20:10. 5. Angels are invisible
This is self-explanatory. God made us unable to see spirit beings in the spirit realm with our human eyes. In rare instances he opens the spiritual eyes of some of us. Remember how God opened the eyes of Elisha’s servant to see in the realm of the spirit? “Don't be afraid, the prophet answered. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them…Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all round Elisha,” 2 Kings 6:16-17 (emphasis added). Also in rare instances he allows angels to manifest themselves with physical attributes – as the sections below show. 6. Angels among certain ranks can appear before God
In the bible Jesus says God’s angels assigned to look over his disciples are able to see God’s face in heaven. “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven,” Matthew 18:10 (emphasis added). Daniel received a vision of God whom he referred to as the “Ancient of Days.” God was in his courtroom surrounded by countless angels. It is presumable they were God’s angelic cloud of witnesses in his heavenly court: “Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened,” Daniel 7:10. This may surprise some: Satan too is able to appear before God. It’s in the bible. This is because God kept Satan’s privilege of being able to see him even after Satan fell. Remember before Satan fell he used to be an archangel, that is, among the highest ranking angels like Michael and Gabriel. He was called Lucifer which means “light,” something bible scholars assume meant light-bearing angel. Thus although he was stripped off his importance and position in heaven his share of being able to meet with God was not taken away. God, not Satan, chose to have it remain that way. He could have banned Satan from ever meeting with him but he did not. More content available in the Second Edition of the book: Click here to acquire it 7. Angels are very powerful, with superhuman strength
Angels are very powerful, with superhuman strength including over the weather and the environment (land, water, air). Angels cannot just exercise their physical powers on earth at their own will. They have to receive permission or request from God – whether God’s angels or fallen angels. When they have God’s permission they can fulfill astronomical physical events (good and bad) “Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word,” Psalm 103:20 “My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king,’” Daniel 6:22 “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose,” Acts 16:25-26 More content available in the Second Edition of the book: Click here to acquire it 8. Angels are wiser and more intelligent than humans
Angels are wiser and more intelligent than humans for two reasons. The first is that they have been alive since creation – over six thousand years. The second is that God made them more intelligent than us. “But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ,” 2 Corinthians 11:3. “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve,” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15. However angels are not all knowing or omniscient. Only God is omniscient. For instance, if fallen angels were omniscient they would not have plotted the crucifixion of Jesus –bringing total defeat upon themselves. Some people join cults including Free Masonry in order to understand secrets and mysteries of life. These mysteries are assumed to help them become more powerful, influential, prosperous, etc. They are able to yield themselves to Satan to the point of tapping into the spirit world to receive so called “secrets.” Many receive their earthly rewards BUT they end up loosing their souls to hell. Smaller cults too promise worldly gain of power, wisdom, fame, wealth and so on. They claim to offer “secrets” that would make the recipient outperform others. Many cults offer charms and spells for business, for marriage/relationships, for politics, health, “wisdom,” and so on. Most differ in methods they use. The methods also differ for each area of “need.” My other book on breaking spells covers on this topic in detail. It’s titled, Breaking Occult Spells: Protection from Witchcraft and Occult Influences. More content available in the Second Edition of the book: Click here to acquire it 9. Angels can see and observe events on earth
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,” Hebrews 12:1 “Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents,” Luke 15:10. 10. Angels like humans have a will
Angels have the ability to exercise their discretion and choice. That’s how Satan and other angels he convinced chose to rise up against God. Having this ability of choice does not mean they also have the power to fulfill their wishes. Angels were created with limited authority. If they had unlimited authority Satan would have destroyed this world long ago – if God’s angels chose not to intervene. Or on a better note God’s angels would have easily decided to capture all the fallen angels and put them away in a secluded area. This will happen at the end of time as God has decided. So both categories of angels though having a will do not have the power to fulfill their wishes. God’s angels follow God’s orders and fulfill his will. Fallen angels work along lines of their limited authority. Their authority is established where sin and violation of God’s will is established. It means the hedge of God’s protection has been lifted and they now have access to attack. Violation of God’s will, even in ignorance creates doorways for attacks from fallen angels. “And that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will,” 2 Timothy 2:26 However even in situations someone is trapped into Satan’s schemes through sin or ignorance God can exercise his mercy and block Satan from lashing out his evil works. God can block Satan from profiting from the doorways. God’s mercy through Jesus is greater than his judgment (James 2:13) 11. Angels like humans angels have geographical limitations
Each angel can only be in one place at one time, not several places at the same time. They are finite beings unlike God and his Spirit who is infinite and omnipresent. The bible shows angels traveling from one place to another. Even Satan runs “to and fro” the face of the earth. Angel Gabirel when he needed help had to seek angel Michael who was not present at the time. Presumably he sent a fellow angel from God’s kingdom to call Michael to come over. “The prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia,” Daniel 10:13. Satan is included concerning angles being finite or limited geographically. If archangels like Gabirel and Michael can be finite how much more Satan? Before Satan fell he was equal in rank with the likes of Gabirel and Michael. Satan is therefore a limited being. That is why he needs the help of his fellow fallen angels in fulfilling his evil work. Had he been the only one that rebelled against God and got cast out he would not have accomplished the current level of corruption in this world. The major cause of evil would be humanity out of our free will choosing to do evil instead of good. It still would not be as bad as having the added influence of demons. Satan would have been nowhere near the spotlight of being the cause of evil in this world. He can only influence one person per time and in one place per time. As he labors on the one person the rest of the people would have no pressure to sin. This world would have a far less magnitude of violence, greed, exploitation, immorality, and so on.

Angels can appear in their angelic or non-human physical form in the physical world. Appearance in any physical form (human or non-human) is always as a result of receiving permission or request from God – whether God’s angels or the fallen angels. Usually it’s God’s angels that are given this permission not fallen angels. An exception we see in scripture is where Satan is allowed to appear physically to Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). As for God’s angels being given this permit to appear physically scriptures have numerous accounts. Notable New Testament accounts include: “Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him,” Matthew 4:11 (the angels came to strengthen and comfort Jesus after his ordeal with Satan in the wilderness). “But Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been…” John 20:11-15 "The very night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison; and behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter on the side and woke him…” Acts of the Apostles 12:6-10 13. Angels affect matters in the earthly realm
This area of angelic activity is more prominent and ongoing than their physical appearance and activities in visible form. Both God’s angels and fallen angels are busy affecting matters in the physical realm even though they are unseen. We’re able to see them only when God allows us to see them in this form – such as when God allowed Elisha’s servant to see the vast army of angels protecting them (2 Kings 6:17). Some people are predisposed to seeing in the spirit realm. Believers with such a makeup are said to have the gift of discerning of spirits (1 Corinthians 12:10). When this ability is out of place people are able to see foul and ugly spirit beings on a regular basis. It can be distressing rather than comforting. My other book covers on how and why some people have a natural and others an acquired inclination of tapping into the spirit realm. The book is tilted, Breaking Spiritual Strongholds and Healing the Wounded Spirit: Dealing with Root Causes. For every activity there is God’s permission preceding it, particularly when it has no legal grounds. Fallen angels use legal grounds to gain access in performing their activities. Sometimes God gives fallen angels permission outside legal access –like when Job was brutally stricken by Satan. This area does answer some of the problems going round the world –environmental, diseases, accidents, and so on. Not all are caused by angelic activity but many can be attributed to activities of angels. The good events, such as when people are protected from disaster and misfortune are always products of God’s angels. The bad events, such as when disaster and misfortune strikes are predominantly products of fallen angels. God’s angels however do bring disaster and misfortune as the scriptures below show. In whatever matter Christians ought not to fear because God is in control of our lives. Whatever he allows (desirable or undesirable) to come our way is filtered through his perfect will for each of us. To him it’s not a random or accidental experience.

Angels can appear in dreams, visions and in circumstances only visible to one person or a few people. Like in the previous account some people are predisposed to seeing in the spirit realm. Believers with such a makeup are said to have the gift of discerning of spirits (1 Corinthians 12:10). When this ability is out of place people are able to see foul and ugly spirit beings on a regular basis. It can be distressing rather than comforting. My other book covers on how and why some people have a natural and others an acquired inclination of tapping into the spirit realm. The book is tilted, Breaking Spiritual Strongholds and Healing the Wounded Spirit: Dealing with Root Causes. “Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:18-21 “Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me and said, `Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.'” Acts 27:23-24 “Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John,” Luke 1:11-13 “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve,” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 15. Angels fight each other from the different camps
They fight each other from the different camps - God’s angels verses the fallen angels This is where the real spiritual warfare is waged. “Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail…” Revelation 12:7-9 “The prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia,” Daniel 10:13 It is strongly believed, among many bible scholars, that Goliath died from an unseen blow of an angel. The scriptures hint at this: “Then David said to the Philistine, ‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied,’” 1 Samuel 17:45. 16. Angel worshipping or idolizing is forbidden by God
We’re forbidden from worshipping or idolizing angels even when God opens the spiritual eyes of any of us to see them. The typical response was to fall on their faces in fear, awe and adoration when people in the Bible saw an angel. They usually appear glorious when God enables us to see them in their angelic nature. “I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, Do not do it! I am a fellow- servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” Revelation 22:8-9 “Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions,” Colossians 2:18. Thus although it’s good to know about the activities and nature of angels it is not biblical to worship them, pray to them or to communicate with them in their unseen realm. Our focus ought to be on the Godhead: God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We’re to give all honor, glory, service and praise to God even over the work he fulfills through his angels. Angels are God’s servants working to fulfill his will as he pleases. We worship the Master not the servants. 17. Angels are numerous, possibly in trillions
I’m just estimating here about numbers but wouldn’t be surprised if there were trillions or more of angels. This part on their numbers is a very gray area that we can afford to speculate on without undermining the scriptures. Daniel received a vision of God referred to as the “Ancient of Days,” over his courtroom surrounded by countless angels. It is presumable they were God’s angelic cloud of witnesses: “Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened,” Daniel 7:10. For those that love biblical math ten thousand times ten thousand is one hundred million (100,000,000). One hundred million angels attended God’s courtroom alone. God’s courtroom can be compared to our earthly supreme courts or high courts. How many attend Supreme Court sessions in our respective countries? Probably a handful. For instance in USA there are currently nine Supreme Court Justices (judges) that debate a case - at the time of writing this book (2008). (Congress can whenever needed increase (or decrease) the number of Justices – usually influenced by population growth metrics). Thus nine Supreme Court Justices convene at the highest court in USA. The only any other persons there if allowed are journalists and law school students (usually from nearby Georgetown University). In contrast to our human supreme or high courts God’s highest court alone has one hundred million beings – God’s angels. What more all the angels in the various departments of God’s heavenly government? There are likely one hundred million there, five hundred million somewhere else, and so on. The numbers are staggering. So that’s how I came up with trillions. Angels could even be more than this: quadrillions, quintillions, and so on! 18. Angels of God outnumber fallen angels by a 3 to 1 ratio
Fallen angels are no match against God’s angels. God’s angels outnumber fallen angels by a 3 to 1 ratio. When Satan rebelled he somehow persuaded one-third of the other angels to join him. “Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth,” Revelation 12:3-4. “Don't be afraid, the prophet answered. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them…Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all round Elisha,” 2 Kings 6:16-17 It’s great to see that two thirds of all the angels are on God’s side. Someone would have to be brain-dead not to understand who is more powerful between the two categories of angels. Yet we still have some brain-dead siblings in the body of Christ who’re so obsessed with the fact that the devil is fighting them. They forget the vast armies on their side fighting their battles. Above all, on our side we have the God who created all things, including all angels themselves. “If God is for us, who can be against us? …in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord,” Romans 8:28-39 19. Angels have identities that distinguish them from each other
The bible gives us a few names and identities of angels, mainly the prominent ones (good and bad prominent ones). In one exorcism Jesus asked the name of the demon afflicting the person. It turned out to be more than one: “For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!" Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many." And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area,” Mark 5:8-10 The good prominent names we have in the bible include Michael the warring angel and Gabriel the ministering angel. The prominent names we have of evil angels include Satan with lots of other names, Abaddon or Apollyon called “angel of the Abyss” (Revelation 9:11) At times the angels are identified by the work they do or are fulfilling. For instance God’s angel sent to bring destruction is called the destroyer or "destroying angel" Exodus 12:23; More content available in the Second Edition of the book: Click here to acquire it 20. Angels have ranks and levels of authority
Both God’s angels and fallen angels have ranks and levels of authority. However it’s more among God’s angels that this is more important. There is order in God’s heavenly government. Fallen angels try to copy this order with Satan as their leader. These are angels that once served God so they already know why and how order needs to be in place. Among fallen angels we have a clue to their order in one important scripture: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places,” Ephesians 6:12 So they are quite well organized in their evil schemes. This does not make them better organized than God’s heavenly government. It shows us that they are not just scattered aimlessly but are organized in their work. If fallen angels can be organized how much more God’s angels with God as their boss? We’d be amazed if we saw how God’s angels are organized in perfect order. At the highest level of God’s heavenly government are archangels. Notable ranks among God’s archangels are Michael the warring angel and Gabriel the ministering angel. Any affairs of battle in the spirit world or even on earth Michael is in charge. Any affairs of relating with humans and other key communication matters Gabriel is in charge. Each of these angels has myriads of angels under him. “There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven,” Revelation 12:7-8 More content available in the Second Edition of the book: Click here to acquire it 21. Angels are territorial, seeking claims to “their” territory
Angels whether God’s angels or fallen angels are territorial in nature. Territory to angels ranges from people, geographical regions, type of behavior or activities (good and bad), and so on. Here is an applicable definition of territorial: a) A behavior related to acquiring a territory,
b) A pattern of behavior used to defend a specific area,
c) Relating to territorial claims, jurisdictional limits, This territorial aspect brings fear among believers who have a devil-centric Christian outlook. On the other hand, it is one of the most comforting truths about angels among those with a God-centered outlook. It is faith recharging. It is one of my major faith energizers. Let’s start with what may rouse fear among some. This is the fact that fallen angels are territorial in nature. Here are some scriptures that show this: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places,” Ephesians 6:12. “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left’… Matthew 12:43-45. “The prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia,” Daniel 10:13. “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils,” Luke 11:21-22. “For Jesus had said to him, "Come out of this man, you evil spirit!" Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many." And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area. A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, "Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them." He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs,” Mark 5:8-13.

a) God’s angels cannot possess or own faculties of people (physical or mental faculties)
Possession of faculties of people (physical or mental faculties) among Christians is done by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, not angels influences us believers from within. God’s angels can only influence us believers from an external position – whenever God allows. In addition it appears that the role of sending messages from God has diminished for angels now that the Holy Spirit has taken on this role. This does mean they are less active in our lives. It only means they are less directly in touch with us now that the Holy Spirit is now fulfilling this direct role. b) God’s angels can appear in human form in the physical world, when permitted by God
Angels cannot just appear in human physical form at their own will. They have to receive permission or request from God. Only God’s angels are given this permission not fallen angels. We have no account in the scriptures where Satan is allowed to appear physically in human physical form. He appeared to Jesus in physical form in the wilderness but in non-human form (Matthew 4:1-11). His physical form was that of a beast rather than that of a human being. Scriptures have numerous accounts on God’s angels being given this permit to appear in human form. This is particularly so in the Old Testament.

a) Fallen angels can possess or own faculties of people (physical or mental faculties) without being seen
Among angels this is exclusively done by fallen angels. Possession or ownership of people’s faculties (physical or mental) is also as a result of receiving permission from God. Otherwise every person that’s not born again would be demon possessed. Demon possession can also happen as a result of certain levels of involvement in the occult. The Beast or the Antichrist is said to be a man possessed by Satan. He won’t just be any fallen angel’s vessel but a vessel of Satan himself. “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing,” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10. In addition only unbelievers are liable or have legal doorways to experience demon possession. Christians are not liable. Chapter 6 “Can a Christian be Demon Possessed?” in my book Major Spiritual Warfare Principles: Biblical Do’s and Don’ts of Warfare, covers on such matters.
