Can A Spirit-Filled Believer Have A Demon?
Derek Prince said Yes! And I agree because I had evil spirits cast out of me! Out of my flesh to be more specific.
The Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of our souls, not the organ of our bodies, so it is possible for a Spirit filled believer to have an evil spirit in the flesh at the same time the Holy Spirit is indwelling the soul! Which is who we really are!
Paul's thorn IN the flesh is a great example of this biblical truth.
Watch Derek's message until the end and be enlightened by his spiritual insight into this matter.

No. The two cannot abide together. A spirit-filled believer may be oppressed, but they cannot be possessed by an evil spirit.

I agree. A believer can be demon influenced though, or as you pointed out oppressed.

What if a Christian gives themselves over to a demon?

That's demon influence. Lots of Christians do that.
But to be possessed by a demon, having a demon indwelling alongside the Holy Ghost isn't possible, IMO.

The Holy Ghost would leave. The demon would be happy to stay. IMO

I don't agree with POSESSION either, but if you watch Derek's message he goes into detail and explains the difference between, 'posession', and 'having a demon in the flesh', or being 'demonized'.

A Holy Spirit filled person does not do that

No Christian can be indwelt by a demon. If a person is saved they belong to God spirit soul and body. God is not going to cohabitate with a demon.
1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Exactly your BODY is the temple of the Holy Ghost.
