If you’re living in a Godly way and have a clean conscience and strong faith, the Holy Spirit protects you from any demonic influence. People might become susceptible when they let their guard down in a few ways. Maybe one way is doing something wrong, not showing contrition, not seeking forgiveness, and carrying that guilt. Maybe another way is carrying a grudge. Or getting out-of-control drunk. Or being oversexed. Or lazily following a dishonest crowd instead of seeking the truth. Or being too proud to believe in God.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:“
If people aren’t literally devoured as if by a lion, then it must be figurative for being spiritually gnawed upon.
