"Did the Devil make
me Do It? And other questions about Satan, demons and evil spirits" is a
very thought provoking and insightful book by Mike McKinley. He explores the
Origin of Satan and how the darker powers that influence mankind came into
being. He discusses demons and their authority even stating, "...while
demons clearly have power in the spiritual realm, it is also clear that they
are limited."
Many wonder if a
Christian can have a demon living within them. Author McKinley gives a
wonderful view when he penned; "Demons can tempt, influence, and attack
God's people, but to say that they can 'possess' a Christian doesn't make sense
of the biblical evidence." We must be careful to not label every negative
issue as demonic rather sinful behavior can bring about issues we face and
those are choices we have made rather than being controlled by a demon.
Believers must remember that the devil may influence but he cannot cause one to
sin that choice is left up to the believer.
This would be a great
book for detailed study concerning demons, their power and influence within the
life of a believer and the authority that the believer has over such evil
forces found within the world.
