Where Is Your Citizenship?

Critical Thinking and a Confused Society

Demon or Holy Spirit Possession?
As I have traveled around the world, one of the questions I am often asked is about demon possession. “What is demon possession?” and “What can I do about it?” are some of the frequent questions I receive, whether I’m in a nation known for its superstition or in a secular-dominated country.
