how demons can enter children?

It's not hard. Kids tend to not have a lot of the more mature psychological defenses and self-awareness that adults have. Defenses which can offer *some* protection from the likelihood of possession.

That might sound nuts, but I've seen it. Gotten creepy, creepy, creepy looks from little kids.

Demons hang around church kids. A fellow I knew had his teenaged daughter committed for observation. He told me that the nurses agreed that his daughter "had a demon problem". This confirmed what many of us suspected because of her behavior before being hospitalized.

There are exceptions as noted in scripture. This whole family had some serious problems.

Paul Heals a Girl with a Demon
16 One day as we were going to the place to pray, we met a servant-girl who could tell what was going to happen in the future by a demon she had. Her owner made much money from her power. 17 She followed Paul and us crying out, “These are servants of the Highest God. They are telling you how to be saved from the punishment of sin.” 18 She did this many days. Paul was troubled. Then he turned and said to the demon in her, “In the name of Jesus Christ, I speak to you. Come out of her!” At once it left her.

There is no indication that she was a child. She was saying that they were teaching only "a way" for salvation, not "the way".

yes they do they called the falling ones

"When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."
Matthew 12:43-45

Lev 19:31 'Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

1 John 4:2-6 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is now already in the world.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this, we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

1 Corinthians 7:13-15 King James Version (KJV)

13 "And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy."

The gospel account does not say the Holy Spirit indwelt the house only that it was vacated.

Can you show any examples from the Bible that demons hang around when God is being praised? I do not see that in your examples.

Thanks

In the OT. you can read how the rebellious leaders filled the temple in Jerusalem with demonic idols. That had obviously been going on some time before it describes the Spirit of the Lord step by step leaving the place.

So yes, the fact that the Holy Spirit is present in a person's life, does not mean they are automatically immune to demons. If we do things that open the door to demons, they will enter.
Protection from demons comes when we activate our faith to resist them.

I have been casting demons out of Spirit filled Christians for over 40 years, so I am speaking from loads of experience.

I do not see what you said, relates to what I asked or said.

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Matthew 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house and despoil his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will despoil his house.

Are those above true or false statements?

Some groups / countries/ areas on earth have adults who cause demons to be around more, instead of Jesus being present, and the children are basically 'sacrificed' to the dark gods(demons), wittingly or unwittingly.

In one of the books of the Old Testament, for one , the prophet was shown in a vision the priests of the temple in secret doing sacrifices to other gods or other abominations.

The same priests who were called and appointed to be set apart, holy, serving Yahuweh the One True Creator Giver of ALL Life...

Likewise, today, it continues very widespread. (as written somewhere in the Apocalypse - the rest of mankind after one-third is killed, refuses to repent of worshiping demons)

Or as written "the people worship ME (TRUE ELOHIM, YAHUWEH) with their lips, BUT their hearts are FAR FROM ME ...." (they are fakes, actors, hypocrites)

Demons hang around all the time, except when they are tossed out in Jesus Name.

The whole world continues to worship demons even after one-third is killed, and they refuse to repent/ they don't even think of stopping, or of turning to God to be set free.

EVERY PLACE JESUS and the disciples went, they cast out demons. (and healed all who were sick).

Some true followers of Jesus set people free often, if not every day, everywhere they go.

Religious groups usually are not aware(in a good way; they may be in a bad way, prefering to maintain the status quo (money and power) , and often try to hinder God's Work.

how is this? people with the holy spirit can be possessed, you saying they displace the holy spirit?

A few decades ago,

in Europe, in a protestant church with perhaps 150 to 300 people (all Christians),

Corrie ten Boom cast demons out of all of them. (this testimony is in one or more of her biographies or other books).

No one present doubted that experience (it was 'obvious') ....

All perfectly in line with all Scripture - no contradiction.

We can choose to always agree with Scripture, or instead agree with man's traditions (which are frequently wrong), like the one you brought up, that demons cannot oppress believers.
