Dr. Peck and Malachi Martin talked about various demons grabbing hold on the very souls of certain people. The longer the time of grasp, the stronger that grasp. And the stronger that grasp, the more connected the demon is with the human host. The total controlling of the host Dr. Peck and Malachi Martin calls perfect possession. It is as if the demonic spirit and the human spirit were married and thus in love. the two are inseparable.
Demons, at least exorcised demons, seem to have names that reflect their character. Demons bring about a supernatural cause for many maladies such as hate & lust, depression, confusion, and betrayal just to name a few.
i wonder if there is a demon for the lacking of courage, or simply cowardice. i think for some this has got to be their source where all their troubles and pains come from. of course cowardice doesn't have to be a demonic influence for we humans are quite frequently shy. despite the demons, we are the ultimate decision-maker for the demonic does not have that kind of power. but maybe for some courage simply doesn't show up no matter how hard, tough, persistent, thoughtful, or meaningful the human spirit is. i wonder if im a host.
lack of courage is crippling. it is enough to cause a huge chain reaction. the chain reaction affects many or all aspects of the human life. lacking in courage affects your outlook on life, it affects your mood, your grades, your friends, family, health, jobs, investments, relationships with people, and your relationship with God.
oh god im thinking too much again. i wonder if i have a demon of thinking-too-much or a demon of shifting-and-projecting-the-blame. no no no... j/k.

though i believe in demon possession, and that demons can greatly influence even Christians - especially if we have unrepentant sin - i also believe that the Bible talks about our sinful nature in detail as what causes most of our malady. interesting, isn't that, that the Word mentions nothing of demons causing our sin - even the story of the Fall of man. Satan influenced, but it was Adam and Eve's choice. Ultimately, we are held responsible because we have more power and the authority of truth in Christ. "Truth will set you free"
Is fear a sin? Is the lacking of sufficient courage a sin? Are psychological issues a sin?
It is not a suggestion of "demons causing our sin" but rather "demons causing our problems." These are distinctively two very different things.
I agree with what you had to say. thanks for the comment. But i think demons do attack and possess when we humans are vulnerable.
