Possessed

Mega-church Pastor, Robb Barker, is possessed by a powerful demon and its helpers. He had carelessly invited the demon into his soul as a means of gaining power and control over the church board. The demon eliminated all of the board members who were opposing Robb's plan for spectacular growth. Some went to jail, some quit, and some were killed. But after the demon arranges an accident, in which his wife is nearly killed, and one daughter paralyzed, Robb realizes that the demon is in control of his life and possesses him. His life is a mess, and he is faced with some tough decisions. Should he reject what he has been taught about the idea of demons being only a fantasy?

The pastor explained that since Robb had invited the demon into himself it is very difficult to extricate, but it can be done and they need to persevere.
