"I insisted that Christians claiming to have demons were making excuses for problems of carnality or personal lack of discipline; they were avoiding the tough part of growing in grace and maturing in a deeper understanding of Scripture. I overcame this theological prejudice...I discovered that the issue wasn't as conclusive as I had thought...I realized that those pastors and Bible teachers who had repeatedly reinforced the 'Christian can't have a demon' outlook had very little practical experience with the phenomenon" -- Bob Larson |
