Why is America not as plagued by demonism as other places?
America has been blessed with relative freedom from widespread demonism because Christianity has been strong enough to hold the demon powers at bay. This condition is changing, and in other parts of the world demonism remains rampant, real, and openly practiced, as seen in voodooism.
Les teaches that America has been blessed in that it is not too plagued with demonism, though he says it is coming. So far, Christianity has been strong enough to hold the demon powers at bay. By contrast, other areas of the world experience demonism as rampant and real. It was real at Christ's time and at Paul's time, and pagans understood demonic powers. Les illustrates this with Haiti and voodooism, noting those people know voodooism has intrinsic satanic power. He also describes Corinth's idolatrous pagans, who were so aware of the demons of the air that they feared demons could enter through meat. Their superstitious minds thought a demon might get on the meat and then inside them, so they took meat to pagan priests for a blessing to keep demons off so they could eat safely.
