Demon influence promotes false thinking based on human viewpoint and world philosophies (the world-systems of satan). Satan is “prince of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; Ephesians 2:2). Demons are followers of satan and have tremendous influence over mankind.
Demonic influence is characterized by infiltrating the thinking of believers and unbelievers. Satanic thinking (demon influence) is thinking which is contrary to divine viewpoint.
