Spiritual Warfare #8 - Can a Christian Have Demons?

Dean Odle directly answers the question “Can a Christian have demons?” in the affirmative, distinguishing salvation from the surrender of particular areas of a believer’s soul or body. He argues from warnings addressed to Christians, Israel’s Old Testament experience, and Gospel deliverance accounts that covenant people can fellowship with demons, retain unclean strongholds, and need those bondages removed.

Spiritual Warfare #7 - Demons & Deliverance: Doorways

Dean Odle’s seventh Spiritual Warfare class catalogs ways people give the devil “place” and break the protective hedge described in Scripture. He urges deliverance ministers to ask when a bondage began, bring hidden sins into honest confession, and identify the specific doorway rather than treating every case with a generic formula.

Spiritual Warfare #6 - Demons & Deliverance

In Spiritual Warfare class six, Dean Odle argues that casting out demons was a normal and prominent part of Jesus’ ministry and was meant to continue through believers. He distinguishes different degrees of demonic influence, traces the origin of demons through his reading of Genesis 6, Jude, 2 Peter, and 1 Enoch, and uses Gospel deliverance accounts to explain how spirits gain and exercise control.
