(Gal.1, 1–10, 20–2:5; Mark 5, 1–20) “My name is Legion, for we are many” (Mark 5:9). Spirits are not corporeal, therefore they do not fill space with themselves and do not occupy them, like bodies. This explains the physical possibility of many spirits residing in one person. The moral possibility on the part of spirits is understandable from their immorality or the absence of any moral principles, and on the part of man - from the many-sided contact of his spiritual structure with the dark region of unclean forces. But this only explains the possibility; the reality of the possession of demons is subject to conditions that we cannot determine. We can only say that the possession of spirits is not always visible, and is not always revealed by the known actions of the possessed. There is an undetectable, secretive presence of spirits; there is also the power of spirits over minds, in addition to the body, when they lead them as they want through the passions that act in them; people think that they all act themselves, being the laughing stock of evil spirits. How can this be? Be a true Christian, and no enemy force will defeat you. You might be interested in:
