| dc.description.abstract | The Christian Church has given much attention to the topic of demon possession
throughout its history. But there are some Christians who continue to face other forms of
demonic activity, particularly within their homes. This essay is not an exhaustive handbook for
addressing demonic poltergeist activity; rather, it attempts to orient afflicted Christians to
biblical truths about the spiritual world. Prayerful action and thoughtful caution is needed when
seeking to rid a home of poltergeist activity, yet the Christian finds unmatched comfort in the
person of Jesus Christ, his work, and his power. The forgiveness God brings to each person
through Jesus Christ in Word and sacrament provides relief for demonic activity. Though ridding
a home of demonic activity may be a process (not necessarily a singular event) the eternal
salvation and identity of each afflicted Christian has and will remain completely secure by the
divine power and unbounded love of our triune Creator-God. | en_US |
