The human will is an interesting study. The human will in a sense is sovereign because no one can force you to do anything. The Holy Spirit will not force you, but He will draw upon it, convince it, convict it, shine truth before it... Satan cannot force your will either, but he will try to weaken it by continual salvos and bombardment by painting sin as attractive and make the attempt to lure you into submission. As the will weakens, it will come to a place where it loses strength to resist, and when that happens the devil now owns your will. You might say, "a demon possessed person is being controlled against their will." The truth is, that didn't happen overnight. Little by little that person kept submitting to that spirit until the will of the person came into full agreement with the will of the demonic spirit. Demon possession then is when two wills have become one in unity. But praise be to God, when that person comes into contact with the truth and the blindness dissipates about their condition, they can cry out and the power of the risen Christ will set them free!!!
Another point: many today in the church claim they can't live right. My question then becomes "who is forcing them not to?"
