Can a Christian have a demon and need deliverance?
A Christian can have anything he or she wants or allows. Because the vacated space once occupied by a demon must be filled with the Holy Spirit after the demon has been cast out, Christians are the only valid candidates for deliverance. Demons should never be cast out of unbelievers because, according to what Jesus said, if they are, the unbeliever would subsequently end up with seven times as many demons, since each expelled demon later returns to his former habitation bringing with him seven other demons, seeking re-entrance, with the result that the last state of the person will be worse than the first (Lk. 11:24-26). Jesus said deliverance is “the children’s bread,” and indicated that it was exclusively for spiritual Jews, i.e., Born Again believers in Christ (Mk. 7:24-30).
