Demonic Influence Explained
Demonic influence involves creating inhabitable space within a person for the enemy to dwell and act.
Sin opens the door, giving the enemy room to oppress; it's about degrees of influence, not possession ownership.

Can getting a tattoo open the door to demonic oppression? Some deliverance ministers claim tattoos are a guaranteed gateway to demonization—but is that actually biblical?
In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis explores whether tattoos are inherently sinful, whether they can invite spiritual oppression, and what Scripture truly says about “open doors” and “legal rights” in spiritual warfare. Along the way, we look at Ephesians 4, Leviticus 19, Isaiah 44, and insights from scholars like Dr. Clint Arnold and Dr. Gordon Wenham. We also survey ancient Near Eastern practices, church history (including tattooed Coptic Christians), and examine real-life testimonies of deliverance linked to tattoos.
⚠️ This isn’t a clickbait scare tactic—it’s a serious theological conversation aimed at clarity, not controversy.
