Dear Friends,

I have been carrying your letter around for a few weeksanticipating answering it concerning your friend. Whether it is demonpossession or whether it is mental illness of some sort of physical variety, Ithink praying is more important than horizontal communication unless thehorizontal communication is much love given to him.

If he is a Christian, I don’t think it is possible for himto be demon-possessed. The Scripture is very clear that He who is in you isgreater than he who is in the world. We have no examples in Scripture ofdemon possession in believers. On the other hand, if he never came to Christ,it could well be that he is demon-possessed. In any case, the power of God, thepower of the name of Jesus, the power of the cross, is what will set him free.

In His Love,

Jim
