It's important to know that believers can't be possesed by Satan or demons. We can be oppressed but not possessed. We're indwelt by the Holy Spirit and he won't ever allow a demonic tennant in his house.

Questions in this Episode
1. I’m wondering how I should understand Genesis 1-3. I heard that some people think that it is just a myth, and that Adam and Even didn’t really exist but instead the fall was just a symbol of how we all sometimes fail to do good when presented with the choice of evil. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and how we should think of Genesis as Christians.
2. I have been reading a lot of Navy seal books and those guys are really driven. It makes me want to do some great accomplishment which isn't sinful necessarily. There is a line, I guess. I feel like God is kind of a kill joy and makes me not want to—and his will is that I can’t work at the things I want to do because those are worldly things and selfish and not necessarily glorifying to him, in my head, meaning as I pursue them.
3. The book of John talks about Jesus saying, “ask and it will be given you”. If that’s true, then why do I have so many unanswered prayers?
4. When someone claims to have become a Christian, how do we know that they are genuine in their conversion?
5. What should I do if I’m experiencing a demonic attack?
