Ifyour worldview does not recognize the activity of the god of thisworld in human problems, it is at best incomplete and at worst adistortion of reality. Christians aren't subject to demon activity. Theprevailing belief among evangelicals today is that Christianscannot be severely oppressed by demons. Nothing has done greater damage to diagnosing spiritualproblems than this untruth. Our vulnerability to demonic intrusion andinfluence is the subject of Part Two of this book.
Demonic influence is only evident in extreme or violentbehavior and gross sin.
Satan's first and foremost strategy is deception. Freedom from spiritual bondage is the result of a powerencounter with demonic forces. Satan is a deceiver, and he will work undercover atall costs. But the truth of God's Word exposes him and his lie. His demons are like cockroaches that scurry for the shadows whenthe light comes on.
