Go to 1st John, if you would, and just head back in 1st John, past Jude, past 3rd, 2nd, and into 1st John. And let me just deal with this question as well, and it's a common question. Can someone who's saved be demon-possessed? Can a believer be demon-possessed? And I believe the answer to that question is no. And I'll just give you one verse in regards to that. 1st John 4, 4, the Bible says this, Because ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you. Now when we're talking about God being in you, we believe in the Trinity, of course, but which person of the Godhead is the one that's in you? It's the Holy Spirit, the one that seals us. We are sealed and secured by the Holy Spirit. So he says, look, because greater is he that is in you. He's saying greater is the Holy Spirit than he that is in the world. What's the spirit that's in the world? It's the evil spirit, right? So he's contrasting these two spirits. He's saying you have the Holy Spirit if you're saved, living inside of you, and then outside of you, there's 50 million plus evil spirits, familiar spirits, unclean spirits. And you say, well, can those evil spirits come in to me? Well, no, because greater is he that is in you. If the Holy Spirit's in you, no evil spirits come in. So can a believer be possessed? The answer is no. And you say, okay, well, how about casting out devils? You know, I don't want to end up like the seven sons of the schema and get beat up, you know, because look, that's a power. That's an authority that Jesus gave the apostles, all right? And that's an office that has been done away with, and I preach sermons about that. You can look up sermons about that. You say, well, how do we help somebody that's even possessed now? Well, here's how we help them. You try to get them saved. Because if you get them saved, the Holy Spirit moves in, and when the Holy Spirit moves in, the unclean spirits move out.
