Now that we agree that God created everything, all knowledge comes from God, and there exists a spiritual realm, as well as spiritual entities, we now go into the next chapter of this point, which is related to demon possession.

Demon possession is something that is very well known, and is often addressed in the Bible, and dealt with by Jesus many times.

Demon possession is where a demon possesses/takes over/ or inhabits the body of a human being.The level of possession and control the demon exhibits varies by case. Now we both agree that demons possess supernatural power/abilities. Commonly reported along with demonic possession of a human is people exhibiting paranormal/supernatural abilities as well. These abilities are suspected to be the demons in the human doing the work.

As stated earlier, all knowledge comes from God, so where did demon possession come from? Well Satan and the fallen angels had to learn it from somewhere. It's likely a bastardized version of something God does and did himself, which was observed by the fallen angels and Lucifer.

To help establish this point, we can look at the Bible and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. God is a spirit, and the Holy Spirit is God, because He is Holy. Just like demons possess people, God does too. As a matter of fact, this is what demons copied from, and how they came up with demon possession. The concept isn't new. It's something they learned from God.

With all that being said, just like people seem to possess some otherworldly and supernatural power while being possessed by demons, God's people possess and exhibit otherworldly and supernatural powers when filled with the Holy Spirit, which is God. These abilities or powers are known in the Bible as spiritual gifts, or the "gifts of the spirit".

These gifts of the spirit (related to common supernatural occurrences) include but are not limited to...

Word of wisdom
Word of knowledge
Faith
Gifts of healings
Miracles
Prophecy
Distinguishing between spirits
Tongues
Interpretation of tongues

These are mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10King James Version (KJV)

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

For example, one would think the gift of faith just means the ability to believe in Jesus/God etc. However the gift of faith referred to in 1 Corinthians is actually a special and separate type of faith which is distinguished from the salvation type of faith of Christians. It's the faith that physically manifest into reality, as in the faith that moves mountains.

Anyways, the point that I'm making is that God's people are capable of exhibiting supernatural feats and abilities via the Holy spirit. Just like people possessed by demons can exhibit abilities, God's  people filled with the Holy Spirit can do the same if not more since we have the spirit of God, and not some false inferior demon.
