Why is demonism not as prevalent in America as in other parts of the world?
America has been blessed with relative freedom from demonism because Christianity has been strong enough to hold demonic powers at bay. Where Christian influence is strong, demonic activity is restrained. In other parts of the world, demonism is rampant and real, as it was in Christ's and Paul's time.
Les explains that America has been blessed not to be too plagued with demonism, though it is coming, because Christianity has so far been strong enough to hold the demon powers at bay. He notes that in other areas of the world demonism is rampant and real—it was real at Christ's time and Paul's time. He illustrates with Haiti and voodooism: those people know voodooism has intrinsic satanic power, but it is a power. In Corinth, idolatrous pagans were so aware of the power of demons of the air that they feared demons could enter through meat; they took meat to pagan priests for a blessing to keep demons off so they could eat safely.
