Who are deamons?

Please give me a lectue on deamons? Who are deamons? Where do they come from? Can deamons be killed through prayers?

Pastor Wale's response.

Demons are also referred to in the bible as foul spirits, devils, evil spirits and unclean spirits. They are fallen angels (they fell with Lucifer - who became Satan) Revelation 12:3-7. They are disembodied spirits (“beings without bodies” Living Bible) seeking to possess humans or any available body to influence evil (Matt 12:43 – 45). They do not die nor can they be killed by prayer and there are several instances Jesus and His disciples cast them out in the Scripture.

Biblical prescriptions are - put on the whole armour of God – Ephesians 6:10-17; give no place to them – Ephesians 4:27; resist them in faith (James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:9)
