When it comes to what brand of tires or television to buy, and one has various things enter their mind in that decision-making leading to a conclusion [hopefully making the best one], that has no quarter in the spiritual warfare taking place continually within and around every person on earth.
No one can be honestly accused of being demonically possessed for buying a communist Chinese made TV, or set of tires, though not the wisest decision, but when it comes to a worldview, political ideologies, what comes from the tongue directly from the heart, this does reveal a person with being truly one of God’s people, serving Him, knowing a believing His word, faithfully, obediently serving His Son, the LORD Jesus Christ, or everyone else.
While not popular nor readily accepted in the 20th, 21st century overly educated by the world mind attempting to justify possessing both a Bible-based mind while also a worldly one, thus, being double-minded [see James 1:8, Matthew 6:24, and James 4:8] when it comes to an individuals worldview, their theology, their politics, what comes from their mouth as to what they beleive and propigate — those things fall into being either right in the sight of God, righteous, or wicked, unrighteous in the sight of God. The former comes from a truly repentant and changed heart and mind, by the Holy Spirit, and a life lived with a Biblical worldview, one of God’s true children. The latter comes from a secular worldview, which attempts to divest itself of anything spiritual, anything to do with God, the Holy Bible, sin, delusion, Satan, evil, and demonic possession.
But, if not with, for, and led by God and His word, living as a true child of God in His ways and word, and living devoid of such a Supernatual change from within turning to the Holy Bible, turning to God, humbling oneself before God, trusting in God in all things — thus knowing, seeing, understanding what is happening on this earth beyond our feeble abilities — if not such a person? Then they are led, taught, and speak the ways, philosophies of the world. Sans God. Sans Jesus. Sans the Holy Spirit. Without the Word in them. Thus, they are serving he who is prince of the air, the one appearing as an angel of light, the most beautiful of God’s created beings, Lucifer, the fallen arch angel, such a person might not be foaming at the mouth, thrashing about, rending their clothing and rushing around naked, screaming — but they are nonetheless demonically possessed if they possess and profess ideologies, beliefs, the false theologies, the lies of Satan.
A true believer, a true child of God, an authentic disciple of the LORD Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, cannot be against Israel, ignorant and confused about what is in God’s word, and devoted to the world’s views and ways, its lies and delusions. No matter what they may say, or how many people believe and follow them. That person’s followers are then just as lost, as corrupted, as in the dark, and being darkness as the individual they trust and follow. When they should only be following Jesus. And what is written in His living word above all else.
Yes, there is demonic possession. Of varying degrees. It may reveal itself as a political or theological view, as a talking point, appearing as opinion, harmless — but that has been the problem all along. We don’t take things seriously enough.
For everything, other than those life matters such as what to order from a restaurant menu, brand of TV or tires, everything that matters, such as our core beliefs, views, theology and politics, do matter, greatly, and reveal if a person is truly a person in the Light, knowing the Truth, following the Way, leading to Life — Jesus Christ as LORD of their life, they in the Bible daily — or if a person is of the world. In darkness. They being darkness. Serving the father of lies. Which is demonic, is it not?
Might not be Exhorsit the movie demonic, but it’s demonic nonetheless.
You can disagree. Mock, scoff, deny. Fine. Take it up with the LORD when face to face, although it will be unlikely you’ll be able to look Him in the eye in those moments if you believed the words and ways of the world over His words and ways.
It’s all spiritual warfare. Except when at Costco to buy a new set of tires. But, perhaps, even then, depending on the person, or persons, you encounter, engage while there.

Tucker’s Demons
The reality of spiritual warfare.
November 14, 2025

Reprinted from Frontpage Magazine
Along with fellow internet giant Candace Owens, political commentator Tucker Carlson has become a divisive flashpoint of constant internet outrage, concern, and condemnation from many on the Right thanks to, among other morally inverse positions, his obsessive conspiracy-mongering about “the Jews.” Seemingly overnight, Carlson went from being The Great White Hope of independent conservative media, after being fired by Fox News and taking his show solo, to driving a potentially lethal wedge deep into the MAGA movement over support for Israel. Along the way, he has supportively platformed white supremacists, Left-wing historical revisionists, and 9/11 conspiracy theorists. He has defended, if not embraced, practically every ideological threat to the West, from civilizational jihad and sharia law, to terror states Iran and Qatar, to Putin’s Russia.
This is to say nothing of fringe topics into which he has dived that have many wondering if Carlson needs the intervention of a psychiatrist, such as UFOs, chemtrails and government geoengineering, and demonic attacks.
On his internet show on Wednesday, Carlson dropped a new controversy. He made the reasonable observation that demonizing one’s political opponents as “Nazis” inevitably leads to murdering said “Nazis” in the name of defending democracy against a great evil. So far, so good; the Left has adopted this as its principal strategy of “resistance” since the day Donald Trump announced his first presidential candidacy, and the result has been widespread and growing violence against the Right, including the openly celebrated assassinations of such private citizens as healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and conservative activist Charlie Kirk, not to mention failed attempts on President Trump’s life.
But then, as an example to support his point, Carlson made the jaw-dropping choice of Lutheran martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was hanged by the Nazis for his role in multiple secret plots to overthrow or assassinate Adolph Hitler. Carlson claimed that in participating in these efforts, Bonhoeffer had
reach[ed] the end of reason, or even Christianity. Bonhoeffer decided that Christianity’s not even – he was a Lutheran pastor – Christianity’s not enough, we have to kill the guy [Hitler]. I’m not judging Bonhoeffer, who was a great man in some ways. But that’s inevitable once we decide that some people are Nazis.
The illogic here is flabbergasting. People did not “decide” to smear Hitler unfairly as a Nazi. He literally was the proud leader of the Nazi movement. He is widely considered, except by some of Carlson’s guests, to be the very personification of evil. The saintly Bonhoeffer’s participation in the efforts to remove him from power was moral and heroic. Bonhoeffer biographer Eric Metaxas was outraged:
It’s seriously shocking he would say these things. Bonhoeffer did not advocate MURDER, which would have been sinful, but he did understand that within a just war people are KILLED. Will Tucker now condemn David for killing Goliath?
Theories abound as to why Tucker Carlson has gone off the rails: he has sold out to Qatari money; he is antisemitic; he is, like world-class grifter Owens, simply trolling for social media engagement and dollars; like some other former Fox News personalities, perhaps he never was a true conservative. Perhaps a combination of these explains it.
Tucker’s bizarre turn has been hugely disappointing for many conservatives, myself included; I have been repulsed by some of his newfound (?), controversial positions – except for one.
Just prior to this latest uproar over his misuse and abuse of Bonhoeffer, Carlson had drawn fire for repeating details of a supernatural attack he alleges happened to him in his bed in February 2023. In an extensive interview last Thursday with fellow former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Carlson suggested the attack was in response to a positive supernatural experience he had had the day before, during which he was overwhelmed by a sudden wave of atypical, for him, empathy and love toward someone he thought he hated.
He described the moment as “profound and beautiful and unexpected,” that it obviously came from God, and that it was “twinned” with an evil experience later that night, in which he was “physically mauled” by an unseen force while he was sleeping.
Carlson said he awoke that night struggling to breathe, had a “horrible pain underneath my arms, like on the side of my chest,” and found “claw marks on both sides, on the right and left side of my ribs, and they’re bleeding.”
“Culturally, I’m just not from a world where people are attacked by demons,” Carlson told Kelly, who acknowledged that it is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss the demonic in the wake of such monstrous acts of evil as the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting and Charlie Kirk’s assassination. “I challenge anyone to tell me that there aren’t demons among us,” she said to applause.
Carlson went on to explain that the experience pushed him to read the Bible, revealed to him the nature of spiritual goodness, and “completely changed my view of the world.”
“Ephesians 6 is real,” Carlson told The Christian Post at the time he first reported the attack, referencing the chapter in the New Testament which famously asserts that mankind is engaged in spiritual warfare:
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
The interview with Kelly prompted a renewed flood of derision for Carlson over the demonic attack, which many attributed to mental illness or the four dogs that were sleeping in his bed that night. And in truth, Carlson’s descriptions of the incident are confusing, sometimes contradictory, and not entirely convincing.
Conservative authors and commentators such as Mark Levin and Dinesh D’Souza have dismissed Carlson’s attack as lunacy or a lie; D’Souza suggested that if it were real, it could have been “a portal that was open for some sort of a demon to enter” into him. Author Rod Dreher, however, came to his defense over the demon story, noting that Carlson had personally told him about it before sharing it with the public.
“Look, I had my bitter dispute lately with Tucker over [white supremacist Nick] Fuentes, but he told me this demon story right after it happened, a year before he went public with it,” Dreher posted on X. “That doesn’t prove it, but hard to see how he benefits from speaking publicly of it, given that many are mocking him.”
Eric Metaxas, prior to Carlson’s Bonhoeffer debacle, also defended Carlson’s account, commenting on X,
It is insane to mock Tucker Carlson about the demonic attack he suffered. The spiritual world is absolutely real. I am deeply grieved he platformed Nick Fuentes, but that only confirms to me that he is in a serious spiritual battle. We should pray for him.
Indeed, we should, and not just for Tucker Carlson but for all of us. Add me to the list of his defenders, at least in terms of this incident and his subsequent awakening about the spiritual realm. It is easy to believe that spiritual warfare is nothing more than a metaphor, or that demons are a metaphor, or that evil is not a metaphysical reality but a mere psychological defect – until you come face-to-face with the supernatural.
I had a life-changing experience a year ago that was not in any way physically traumatic like Carlson’s – and unlike him, I was wide awake at the time – but which was paralyzingly terrifying, which I instantly recognized as a demonic attack, and which instantly convinced me of the reality of spiritual warfare and prompted me afterward to take my intellectual flirtation with Catholicism to full-on conversion.
Contrary to Mark Levin’s or Dinesh D’Souza’s skepticism, there is no doubt in my mind or heart that we are engaged in a cosmic fight for the soul and future of America and the West, an intensifying spiritual battle which, for those with eyes to see, is in evidence all around us.
Unherd contributing editor Mary Harrington recently tried to come to grips with this in an article titled “Why Macho Christianity is Flexing its Muscles.” She notes that “the world in general is growing more disorienting, extreme, and uncanny. This is spurring a widespread sense of existential spiritual conflict, in which post-war Christianity simply doesn’t cut it anymore.”:
And if this is so, perhaps we really are in a spiritual war — and the only rational place left to stand is in a longstanding spiritual tradition, with a well-worked-out approach to demons and the uncanny…
… if [times] get any stranger, one thing is sure: woolly inclusivity and a limp handshake won’t be enough. We will all need the Armour of God; and also, perhaps, the intercession of St Michael.
She is right. It was a prayer to St. Michael the Archangel that brought my demonic attack to an end. As Ephesians 6 says, “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”
The day of evil is already here. Stand your ground.
