Demons and how to deal with them
Sometimes people don't understand why we cast the devil out of people when we pray for them. One time a pastor came to me, not understanding why I had done this to one of his deacons when praying for him. The preacher thought I was inferring that the deacon was demon possessed. But I was only indicating he was oppressed. I hadn't said the demon was in the inward man; it was in his body. (You might live in a house that has termites in it, but that doesn't mean you have termites in you.) Present Your Body Paul talks to us about presenting the body as a sacrifice in Romans 12: ROMANS 12:1,2 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. It astounded me when I fully realized what these verses were saying. Paul isn't writing to sinners. He is writing to the saints. He is writing to bornagain, Spirit-filled believers. He is telling them even though they are born again, their bodies aren't affected.So the rebirth is not a physical or mental experience. Being filled with the Spirit is not physical or mental. Both are spiritual experiences which eventually affect the physical and mental.
