We believe a Christian cannot be possessed but can possess a demon in their soul just like they can have a virus, disease, or fungi in their flesh. We believe a born-again believer can have a demon, but a demon can't have them. Hosting a demon in one's soul will inhibit them on earth, but will not disqualify their salvation. We are made in the image of God therefore three parts: flesh, soul and spirit. The demon inhabits the soul while the Holy Spirit is within our spirit. The bible does not say darkness and light cannot coexist, but that they should not. Nowhere does scripture state a believer in Jesus can't have a demon, but scripture reveals we can. Each person who received deliverance from Jesus or his disciples, stated first they believed in Jesus, therefore making them Christians, then receiving their deliverance. We know deliverance is the bread of the Children of God and delivering a non-believer is not only foolish, but dangerous. The original Greek and Latin translations of the bible never use the word possessed, there is no word in either language for "possessed" and the word used is "demonized" which means "to be under the influence of". Just like the Holy Spirit influences you, so can an unclean spirit influence you. Every demon needs a legal right to inhabit a soul which comes through sin or generational curses. We believe generational blessings are as real as generational curses. Elijah passing on a double portion mantle to Elisha is like children receiving spiritual inheritance from their parents. mantles are passed on to future generations. Generational curses are earned through sin and can be passed down the bloodline until repentance and application of the blood of Jesus.
