Dear Friends,

I have been carrying your letter around for a few weeks
anticipating answering it concerning your friend. Whether it is demon
possession or whether it is mental illness of some sort of physical variety, I
think praying is more important than horizontal communication unless the
horizontal communication is much love given to him.

If he is a Christian, I don’t think it is possible for him
to be demon-possessed. The Scripture is very clear that He who is in you is
greater than he who is in the world
. We have no examples in Scripture of
demon 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, the
power of the name of Jesus, the power of the cross, is what will set him free.

In His Love,

Jim
