A concerning trend is rising among younger generations as some begin to adopt so-called “demon pronouns,” aligning themselves with identities rooted in darkness. For Christians, this signals something far more sinister than just a cultural curiosity—it’s a call to spiritual arms.
This trend continued gaining traction when a viral video featuring two young people, Jasper and Liana, where Liana shares that they use “they/demon” pronouns. The video, which circulated widely on social media, has shined a light on the very real spiritual warfare taking over the souls of people from all age ranges struggling with their gender identities.

In Ephesians 6:12, Paul reminds believers that “our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities… against spiritual forces of evil.” This verse isn’t abstract; it’s a reminder of the ongoing spiritual warfare in our world. When young people embrace identities that glorify darkness, they’re opening doors to a spiritual oppression that may have lifelong consequences.

At its heart, this trend highlights a disturbing reality: in our absence, other voices rush in. Jesus called His followers to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world” (Matt. 5:13-14). Yet, when the church is silent or disengaged, it leaves a vacuum. And as history shows, Satan is all too ready to fill that void, distorting identity and purpose.
This is the natural consequence of a culture adrift. When Christians fail to offer truth and hope, young people look elsewhere, often to identities and ideologies that ultimately harm rather than heal. Peter’s warning rings loudly here: “Be alert and of sober mind” (1 Peter 5:8), because if we ignore this spiritual crisis, our adversary will take advantage.
Our mission as believers has always been to lead—not with judgment, but with light. Now is the time for the church to reclaim its voice and its influence. If we do not step up to guide this generation, we leave them vulnerable to the spiritual forces that seek to mislead and bind them.
We cannot afford to stand by passively. Our culture, our youth and our spiritual future depend on believers taking up the call to be salt and light in a world that desperately needs it.
