Could A Christian Practicing Witchcraft Be Under Demonic Possession?

The Bible does not explicitly state whether a Christian can be demon-possessed, but related biblical truths make it abundantly clear that Christians cannot be demon-possessed. Some argue that Christians cannot be demon-possessed because they are possessed by God, and Scripture says that greater is he who is in us. However, the meaning of the word “demon” has changed from those days, and the modern English version is not the same.

The Bible records several instances of demonic possession resulting from witchcraft or sorcery, and as a Christian, you are marked and sealed with the Holy Spirit. In the short answer, no. The Bible seems very clear, and Christ and the apostles were the only ones who cast out demons, and in every instance the demon-possessed people were unbelievers. Most theologians believe that a Christian cannot be possessed because they have the Holy Spirit abiding within (2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5; 1 Corinthians 6:19), and the Spirit of God would not share.

Demon possession by evil spirits occurs among non-Christians who have not been born again and are subject to the complete control of Satan in the kingdom of darkness. In the African ministry context, accusations of demon possession are commonplace. Spirit possession is an unusual or altered state of consciousness and associated behaviors which are purportedly caused by the control of a human body.

Christian views on magic vary widely among Christian denominations and individuals. Many Christians actively condemn magic as satanic, holding that it is a sinful act. In conclusion, Christians cannot be demon-possessed, as they are marked and sealed with the Holy Spirit.
