Why do demons wish to possess humans?
There is an age-long battle between God and the devil. As far as we know, the devil has no particular feeling for a human. The people who serve the devil faithfully for a lifetime do not receive any special honor or help from him. He shows no tenderness towards any human being. People throughout the world, who are totally demon possessed, are treated terribly by him. They become like animals, not like angels.
The only favors the devil shows are to people he is attempting to deceive or seduce. He lies to those who do not know his wicked designs.
The devil hates God Who cast him out of heaven. He cannot reach God to hurt Him personally because of His omnipotence; the only way he can injure God is to hurt and persecute God's people. Those Christians who are the most dedicated to God, who love God with all their hearts, are the objects of Satan's vilest hatred.
The Christian believer has God loving him on one side, and the devil seeking to destroy him on the other. This results in the tremendous cosmic warfare which is now going on, invisible to the human eye.
Each person must choose to which of these forces he will surrender. Every human is either influenced by the power of God or the power of the devil.
Joshua, the great liberator of Israel, said, Choose ye this day whom ye will serve (Josh.
24:15). This means that man has the prerogative of choice. The devil cannot rule you or possess you without a yielding of your heart and mind to him.
Another reason that demons molest humans is that demons need a body in which to manifest their personalities. The highest place of occupancy is the human body. The human possessed by demon power does not display his true nature, but that of the spirit ruling him.
Also, the devil, who is the destroyed, wishes to take every human with him to hell. He is seeking whom he may destroy. (1 Pet. 5:8.)
