They do not care whether they live in a person or in an animal but they need a body through
which they can express themselves. There are conflicting theories as to their origin but this does
not matter for the purpose of this study.
The word “demon” comes from the Greek word “daimon” or “daimonion” meaning breath or
spirit.
Although we cannot see these spirit beings, nevertheless they do exist. Heathen cultures have
always acknowledged their existence but our so-called sophisticated western society usually
denies their existence.
Some psychologists have described them as “parts of the personality”, but refuse to
acknowledge their existence as spiritual beings. Jesus Christ had no problem about their
existence. Throughout the gospels we have references to Him casting them out of various people.
In fact He said:
“These signs will follow those who believe. In My name they will cast out demons.”
(Mark 16:17)
One of the functions then of Christians is to cast out demons and the purpose of this book is
to encourage Christians to be willing and able to do so. We don’t need to be afraid of them.
“He, who is in us, is greater than he who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)
I had only been a committed Christian for a short time when a deeply troubled person was
brought to me for help. The Lord gently spoke into my ear the word, “abortion”, and as I spoke this
word out this man, who had been a committed Christian himself, fell to the floor, curled up like a
foetus and began to scream. It was in the subsequent weeks that as we ministered to this man, I
began to learn about demon activity.
Demons have an intense desire to live in a body. The legion of demons who lived in the man
who had come out of the tombs, begged Jesus to send them into the swine. They said, “Send us
to the swine that we may enter them.”
This is the desire of demons, to find a body in which they may live and thus express their
characteristics.
