Certain topics are often swept under the rug. Whether its abandonment, bizarre crimes or suicide, uncovering the reason for these acts is worth an attempt. On the surface, it appears some of these unfortunate events can be explained by demons dragging their victims behind the Devil’s door.
But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.-James 1:14
According to the earthly brother of Jesus, God does not tempt individuals, but allows human beings to be influenced sinful desires, James 1:13-15. On the other hand, one person on earth to know Jesus better than anyone else, adds a new dimension. John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, refers to forces in the world which adds fuel to temptations fire.
For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. – 1 John 2:16
Finally, according to Jesus, impure spirits can become attached, influence or possess weakened souls. Although healing is possible, those freed are not out of the woods. This stipulation is similar to those battling addiction, bad habits or poor choices as a genuine transformation requires daily discipline. Subsequently, there is always a chance for any who regress to end up worse than their original state.
“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.” – Matthew 12:43-45
This is how a demon can drag someone behind the Devil’s door. Voices may lead the unhappy to abruptly leave to start a new life. Meanwhile, bizarre crimes are usually conceived in a mind, planned over time and acted out upon. As for suicide, whispers of loneliness can prompt troubled and weary souls to pull the trigger. In view of this, take heed by defending yourself with the armor, Ephesians 6:10-12.
