CONCLUSION:

 A Demon can never possess someone in the sense of “owning a person.”

 All human beings belong to God and are personal possessions
 God allows evil because he’s powerful enough to bring out even the greatest
evil a much greater good.
 The triumph of the Empty Tomb transformed the horror og Cross Satan was
thwarted
 When Jesus from the dead. He displayed God’s power to bring out of the
greatest evils on ever great good. The world’s redemption.
 Our days in this life provide a season for God to test, purify. strengthen, and
protect us, making us fit to love him forever in heaven.
 To that end, the demons serve as useful tools for him, as they constantly test
us by tempting us.
 So that we become purer and stronger and close her perfection every time
we resist the temptation
