Another form of demonic influence is through the powers of darkness. The characteristic of the devil are spirit too, like their rulers , people directly under the influence of the rulers exude great power and ability to fight the powers of God. The powers of darkness are actually the definition of sin or wickedness - hate, lasciviousness (spiritual and physical,) robbery(Spiritual and physical.) It is actually iniquity or abomination. It is usually up to an individual to determine how they react to provocation and the fruits of the Spirit have a hard time dwelling in a heart taken by offence. This is why what would seem like a harmless encounter with some people would live one discouraged, hateful, fearfull, anxious, etc, or some peoples words would land on your heart like the sharp end of a sword.
These powers of darkness are much easier to cast out, especially from the elect, and the best way is by resistance, love, hope, peace, faith, righteousness(gifts of the spirit of God.) They can and should be rebuked in the name of Jesus.
