As missionary I encounter a lot of evil activity. My question is should I ever attribute people's wicked behavior to demon possession. If yes should we expected God to use us to cast out demons like as read in the Book of Acts?
My position right now is no, that type of ministry is strictly to do with the Apostolic Age and establishing the church in the first century Eph 2:20, 2 Pet 2:4 Jude 6 Col 2:15. But as to the question of does demon possession happen today, I'm not quite sure, although I'm more inclined to say yes.
What has been or is the Reformed perspective on this issue?
I have many other thoughts on this matter, but I think that should be enough for now.
