The Psychology of Diabolic Temptation
The world of Christian media is literally filled with articles, books, and videos on the topic of spiritual warfare, and quite often address the most extreme form of demonic activity-possession. While demonic possession does occur, it is very rare. The truth is there are other forms of demonic activity that are far more common, especially as it applies to our individual lives. In this article I want to address these common attacks. Let's start with one of the most basic human facts: we have 5 senses. Sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. It is through these five senses that we experience our world, and through which we also experience and worship our Creator. There is a sort of "force", for lack of a better word, that binds these senses together, which we can call "Common Sense". What this does is bring all the information together, and then simultaneously transfers it to our imagination and memory, usually in the form of an image. Let me give you an example.
