But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit (demon) from the Lord troubled him. I Samuel 16:14
Now here is a man who was anointed king over God's people and the Spirit of God dwelled upon him, so how could this be and what prompted God to send a demon on His chosen? The answer is: Rebellion!
What would happen today if someone was born again and Spirit filled and walked in rebellion, can a Christian have a demon? A better answer would be, can a demon have a Christian? Forget Hollywood and the Exorcist although I have seen that in folks who were demon possessed! The answer is Yes!
My dad used to tell me that possession is 9/10ths of the law, in other words, he who holds you captive, possesses you! A stronghold is just what it says, it is something that has a strong hold on you. We are the temple of the Lord and within our heart is the Holy of holies where Holy Spirit dwells, but our flesh, likened to the old temple, is where the nations could come into its outer courts!
So that they may know the truth and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. (possession) II Timothy 2:25,26
