What is Obsession? The Biblical View
At this point, the demonization process intensifies to a level that is much harder to ignore. The afflicted person becomes almost constantly preoccupied with thoughts of demonic activity. They’re so commanding that life starts to unravel.
*Scriptural Support:*
Matthew 12:43-45 (KJV) describes how when an unclean spirit leaves a person and later returns, it finds the home “empty, swept, and garnished.” The person’s life is in a state that invites more severe forms of demonic activity, including obsession.
Examples of Obsession:
1. Disturbed Sleep Pattern: Sleep becomes almost impossible to achieve.
*Scriptural Support*: Proverbs 3:24 (KJV) speaks about the sweetness of sleep to the one who trusts God, contrasting with the disruptive sleep in the stage of obsession.
2. Overwhelming Mental Attacks: The mind becomes a battleground, where thoughts of demonic activity become nearly unbearable.
*Scriptural Support*: Romans 12:2 (KJV) urges believers not to conform to the world but to renew their minds. This becomes difficult in the stage of obsession.
