Do the various kinds or categories of demons work together in harmony? Do demons get along with each other?
Apparently not. Mr. Arlindo Barbosa de Oliveira, a Brazilian witch doctor for forty years, told me many amazing accounts of demon power. He identified spirits and listed them in categories of varying relative strength. He said that the many ranks of devils are always fighting among themselves. He claims that he watched as two devils fought over his six-year-old brother. They were disputing about which one would possess him completely. Each demon said, "He is mine!" They fought over the youngster until the violence of their struggle killed him. The child was carried out and buried, an actual victim of demonic murder. 24. When a demon is cast out, is there danger of it running amuck and harassing or possessing innocent persons present? No, there is no danger of an innocent person being troubled by an evil spirit as it is cast out. The person who exorcises a demon and sets the possessed individual free can also determine what the unseated spirit can and cannot do. The Bible gives an excellent example of this in Matthew, chapter 8. Jesus cast out the devils from two men in the country of the Gergesenes.
These were fierce devils, manifesting themselves through the men so violently that travelers could not even pass nearby without being attacked. Yet, when Jesus cast them out, the evil spirits pleaded and whined pitifully: So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine (Matt. 8:31). Jesus had complete control over what the demons could do and where they could go. We have that same God-given authority.
We can also clearly see in Luke 9:16, that we have power over devil.
