The Power of Devils over the Human Body

They can cause Dumbness (Matt 9:32-33), and Blindness (Matt 12:22), and Insanity (Luke 8:26-35), and Suicidal Mania (Mark 9:22), and Personal Injuries (Mark 9:18), and impart Supernatural Strength (Luke 8:29), and inflict Physical Defects and Deformities (Luke 13:11-17). Once they have got control over a human body they can come and go at will (Luke 11:24-26). The Demonic character of “Devils” is seen in the use they make of their victims. They use them as “instruments of unrighteousness” (Rom 6:13), for the proclamation of the “Doctrines of Devils” (1 Tim 4:1), and the teaching of “Damnable Heresies” (2 Pet 2:1). The effect of such use of the victim is not only unmoral, it is immoral. It leads to vicious and inhuman conduct. The conduct of “demonized” men and women seems to indicate that the Devil takes possession of them for the purpose of physical sensual gratification. This accounts for the desire of the victim to live in a state of nudity and to have lustful and licentious thoughts. The purpose of the “devil” is often to alienate husband and wife, and break up homes by preaching the doctrine of “free love” The devil has the power, once he is in control of his victim, to derange both mind and body, and wreck the victim's heath, and if deliverance is not obtained by turning to the Lord Jesus, who alone has power to cast out the devil, the victim will be lost in soul and body.

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, (Communion Cup) and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. (1 Cor 10:20-21)

This passage proves that behind all heathen worship there is the “spirit of demonism” or “devil worship” and accounts for the “wild orgies” and voluptuous and licentious mode of worship of the heathen.

Those who dabble in Spiritism are in great danger of having their “understanding darkened” (Eph 4:17-19) and come under the power and control of devils.
