Christians and Spiritual Oppression

Spiritual oppression is real but there are Biblical scholars, pastors and others who believe that Christians are basically “immune” from demonic influence. This message will develop further Biblical foundations for the view that Christians can, in fact, be spiritually oppressed to the point of experiencing demonization to varying degrees and thus need ministry in the name and Presence of Jesus to realize freedom and wholeness. The power of the Cross is the only solution for this. The New Testament has many passages relating to the conflict between Satan’s defeated kingdom of darkness and Jesus’ kingdom of light yet to fully manifest with power over Satan and all forces of evil. When we understand spiritual warfare fully (Eph. 6:10-18), we realize that this can (not always) involve demonic influence in a Christian’s life.
