It's important to note that demonic influence can affect anyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. However, those who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and regularly seek His protection and guidance are less likely to be vulnerable to demonic influence.
If you or someone you know is struggling with demonic influence or possession, seek help from a qualified spiritual advisor or counselor who can provide guidance and support in seeking freedom and healing through Jesus Christ.
Remember, these activities can create vulnerabilities to demonic influence, but the enemy can only gain access if we allow him to. Our thoughts, actions, and choices have spiritual consequences, and it's essential to seek God's guidance and protection in all aspects of life.
Cover yourself with the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), meditate on the protective promises in Psalm 91, and claim the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit fill and empower you, so that demonic forces cannot influence or affect you.
