[Jack Ryan]

Demon possession comes to mind....

[Queen Esther]

I  am  sure  he  can...  bec. all  spiritual  persons  more  clever  than  humans !  The  Devil  knows  us  perfectly.  Lets  try  be  clever  and  wise  and  not  go  into  his  mean  traps. We  can  work  alot !

[Melinda Mills]

Satan controls humans, but not all are helpless; true Christians can conquer. They learn now to fight against him and come under the  influence of the holy spirit so they can conquer and be saved. See scriptures below:

(1 John 5:19) We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.

 

(Romans 12:3)  And stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

(Luke 4:6) Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

 (Matthew 13:19) Where anyone hears the word of the Kingdom but does not get the sense of it, the wicked one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart; this is the one sown alongside the road.

 

(2 Corinthians 4:4) among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.

 

(Ephesians 2:1-5) 2 Furthermore, [it is] YOU [God made alive] though YOU were dead in YOUR trespasses and sins, ² in which YOU at one time walked according to the system of things of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience. ³ Yes, among them we all at one time conducted ourselves in harmony with the desires of our flesh, doing the things willed by the flesh and the thoughts, and we were naturally children of wrath even as the rest. ⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ made us alive together with the Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses—by undeserved kindness YOU have been saved. . .

 

(Ephesians 6:10-13) ¹⁰ Finally, go on acquiring power in the Lord and in the mightiness of his strength. ¹¹ Put on the complete suit of armor from God so that you may be able to stand firm against the crafty acts of the Devil; ¹² because we have a struggle, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places. ¹³ For this reason take up the complete suit of armor from God, so that you may be able to resist in the wicked day and, after you have accomplished everything, to stand firm.
