Q: What powers do demons have? From Scripture: possession (even multiple demons), controlling actions, causing insanity (Mark 5), influencing thoughts (Satan put it in Judas's heart to betray Jesus — before possession), inspiring false doctrines ("doctrines of demons"), receiving worship through false religions and idol worship.

Q&A — demonic powers and abilities

Mike takes demons to be fallen angels. Abilities observed in Scripture: possession, controlling behavior, causing insanity (Mark 5), influencing thoughts (Satan with Judas, John 13:2 — before possession), inspiring false doctrine (1 Timothy 4:1), receiving worship through false religions. They may not be able to read minds but can project thoughts. New Age, witchcraft, and cult environments involve real demonic spiritual power.
