But what it does tell us is that demons are real, they hate us and they desire deeply to destroy us. Demons are fallen angels who retain their natural powers. Though they turned from God and acted in complete selfishness, God does not strip away their natural powers unless they misuse them and we turn to Him for help.

So what is it that demons are capable of? As with the holy angels, demons have natural powers of communication and influence upon us and upon our world. The angels are given the care of the world and our lives.

Those angels that fell from grace now try to use their power over the world and their power to influence us and communicate with us for evil. They have turned from God and now they want to turn us. One thing this tells us is that we must constantly act in a discerning way. In the case above, this poor man had so cooperated with this demon that it took full possession of his life. Though that level of influence and control upon us is quite rare, it can happen.

But the good news is that Jesus has all power over them and easily confronts them and overpowers them if we but seek His grace to do so. Reflect, today, upon the reality of evil and the reality of demonic temptations in our world. They are nothing to be overly frightened about. And they should not be seen in an overly dramatic light.
Demons are powerful, but the power of God easily triumphs if we let Him take control.

I am 4 years into apprenticeship in psycho-shamanism. I have faith this is possible for anyone. So much so, that I was willing to craft a career based on my convictions long ago. As a sensitive and intuitive type this is a real anchor in my life. Though none of us, sensitive or not, are without need for periodic renewal. The old people of the earth knew that without regular renewal and return to The Center, for both individuals and communities, things would start to disintegrate and move toward chaos.
Though breakdown and renewal were also considered necessary as part of the great cycles of life.
