Can a Christian Have a Demon? The Final Biblical Answer!

By Ryan Hicks | April 20, 2026

Can a Christian have a demon? This question can stir up deep fear and confusion among believers. In this video, I dive deep into the Scriptures and the rich history of the early church to provide a clear, definitive answer. Many modern teachings suggest believers can be “demonized” or have demons inhabiting parts of their being, but does the Bible actually support this?

Join me as I unpack critical verses like 1 John 5:18 (“that wicked one toucheth him not”) and 1 Corinthians 6:19 (“your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost”). I’ll show you why the early church consistently understood demonic possession as a phenomenon belonging to paganism and unbelievers, with exorcism occurring before baptism, not after.

I directly address the arguments of influential figures like Derek Prince, Frank Hammond (author of Pigs in the Parlor), and Don Basham, examining their distinctions between “demonized” and “possessed,” and their “body/soul/spirit” partitions, to see if they align with Biblical truth.

Discover why the consensus of Scripture and church history affirms that a born-again believer, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, is eternally secured and protected from internal demonic presence. Your body is a holy temple, and the “greater He” within you ensures that the enemy cannot take hold.

In this video, you’ll learn:

The unshakeable Scriptural foundation for a believer’s protection.
What the early church fathers and traditions taught about demons and Christians.
How to biblically evaluate modern teachings on “demonization” in believers.
Why the Holy Spirit’s indwelling makes internal demonic presence impossible.
Reassurance and peace regarding your spiritual security in Christ.

Don’t let fear and confusion dictate your understanding of spiritual warfare. Equip yourself with truth and walk in the freedom Christ has provided!

1 John 5:18
1 Corinthians 6:19
2 Corinthians 6:14-16

Unlock Your Brain’s God-Given Potential: A Biblical & Scientific Guide To Digital Health (Escape The Dopamine Trap)

By Ryan Hicks | April 17, 2026

Do you constantly feel restless, vaguely unsatisfied, always craving more, yet feeling profoundly empty? In today’s hyper-stimulated world, many are trapped in a neurochemical debt cycle, and it’s impacting their mental and spiritual well-being.

Join Ryan Hicks at TaughtToProfit.com as he explores groundbreaking scientific discoveries by researchers like Dr. Robert Sapolsky and Dr. Anna Lembke from Stanford, who reveal how chronic digital overstimulation is rewiring our brains, leading to dopamine depletion and a loss of sensitivity to natural joys. In this video, Ryan uncovers the science behind “opponent processes” and the hidden cost of our digital habits.

But more importantly, he’ll draw powerful parallels between these modern findings and timeless Biblical wisdom. The Bible has long warned us about the dangers of chasing fleeting pleasures and the importance of contentment, self-control, and renewing our minds.

In this eye-opening video, you will discover:

How constant digital “hits” create neurochemical debt, leaving you feeling “chemically depressed.”
Why natural rewards like sunsets and conversations might feel boring to you now.
The profound Biblical wisdom in the Scripture that confirms these modern scientific insights, from Proverbs to Ecclesiastes, and the Epistles’ call to renew our minds.
Practical steps for a “dopamine detox” that can restore your brain’s sensitivity and bring genuine satisfaction back into your life.
How to cultivate a mindset of contentment and find true rest for your soul, as taught by Jesus Himself.

Your brain isn’t broken; your environment you have created and permitted is the problem. Learn how to change your environment and reclaim your God-given ability to experience deep, lasting joy and holistic prosperity.

In this powerful teaching, I am exploring a critical shift in perspective that can unlock God's unlimited prosperity in your life.

Many Christians get hung up on the idea of prosperity because they're looking at it from *their* perspective, which means that they are focusing on what they lack or what they can't do. But what if true prosperity isn't about your limitations, but about the boundless blessing of the Lord?

**In this video, I will explore:**
*   The common pitfalls of viewing prosperity through a limited, self-centered lens.
*   How God's perspective on prosperity transforms everything.
*   Key Scriptures that reveal God's desire to bless you abundantly.
*   The simple yet profound key to receiving His limitless prosperity: seeking Him first.

**Scripture References:**
*   Proverbs 10:22
*   Jeremiah 32:27
*   John 10:10
*   2 Corinthians 8:9
*   Philippians 4:19
