Can Christians Have Demons In Them?
Christians can be attacked, tempted, harrassed and oppressed by demons from the outside. But what about the "inside"? Jonathan presents two views - that a Christian CAN be demonised and that they CAN'T be demonised. The Bible provides no definitive answer to the question but Jonathan discusses relevant passages such as 1 Cor 5:17, John 12:31, John 10:28, 2 Cor 12:7, Eph 4:26-27, 1 Cor 3:16, Eph 4:30-31, Rom 6:12-13. General Observations. What about Generational Curses?

2 Samuel 4 - Men without Godly Discernment
Since Abern is now dead, Ishbosheth looses his courage, but is still the last hinderence to the unifying of the Davidic Kingdom. 2 of Ishbosheth's raiders (Baanah & Rechab) take advantage of situations and murder Ishbosheth in his bedroom for the purpose to receiving a good position or posh government jobs in David's regeim. They tempt David to thank them for the diliverance of a gracious God, by bringing the head of Ishbosheth to him. David exhibits good discernment and has Baanah and Rechab's extremities cut off and executed. David will soon assume the promised kingdom but this text teach us that no injustice can establish the Kingdom of God.
