Hey guys, Joshua Lewis here with Remnant Radio, and I'll tell you about Rimcon this spring in San Diego, California.

The dates are February 5th through the 7th, and the subject of the conference is growing in the Gifts of the Spirit.

You can join us there in person or via live stream, and what you're going to get out of that conference is some serious theological training on the gifts of the Spirit.

What are they? How do they operate?

There's also going to be opportunities to break out and practice spiritual gifts in a kind of biblical,

safe, and orderly way. We've got lectures from myself, Michael Miller, Michael Roundtry, John Mark Baker, from the Minor Prophets, and Dr. Sam Storms. So if you're looking to move beyond just

the theoretical and learning the theology of spiritual gifts, but you're actually wanting to start

practicing them for yourself, I'd encourage you to come out and hang out with us February 5th

through the 7th there in San Diego, California.

Well, today in this program, we're diving into it, seeing if there's any validity into whether tattoos can get you demons. All this and more. Hey guys, welcome back to the wonderful world of remnant radio.

Can tattoos give you demons?

Now, I know it sounds a little like clickbait, but behind the question is a serious issue

that many in the deliverance space actually wrestle with because there are a few, not all, deliverance

ministers who teach pretty authoritatively that tattoos can and will get you demonize.

To add a little fuel to the fire, I have some anecdotal experiences of close friends of mine

who have experienced deliverance because of a tattoo that they have received.

Now, all that being said, we don't want to build our theology on personal

experience, even powerful ones. We want to start with the scripture. Before we can ask the question,

can tattoos invite demons into our lives? We have to figure out how demonic influences operate

in the first place. Scripture uses several metaphors to describe the mechanics of spiritual warfare.

And many deliverance ministers have taken some of that language

and then packaged it in certain ways,
