The devilish character of demons is seen in how they use their victims. They use them as “instruments of unrighteousness” (Romans 6:13), to proclaim “doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1) and teach “damnable heresies” (2 Peter 2:1). The effect of such use of the victim is immoral and leads to vicious and inhuman conduct. The conduct of demonized men and women seems to indicate that the demon takes possession of them for the purpose of physical sensual gratification, thus letting us into the secret of the cause of the wreck of the pre-Adamite earth, the sin of sensuality. This accounts for the desire of the victim to live in a state of nudity and have lustful and licentious thoughts. In these days of increasing tendency to yield to seducing spirits, it may account for the immodesty of fashionable attire and the craze of dancing. The purpose of the demon is often to alienate husband and wife and break up homes by preaching the doctrine of free love. In short, the demon, for personal gratification, has the power, once he is in control of his victim, to derange both mind and body and wreck the victim’s health. If deliverance is not obtained by turning to Christ, who alone has power to cast out the demon, the victim will be lost, soul and body.
