Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson fielded a question from a viewer, Gillian, who wondered if a person can “get infested with demons” if they are “put under anesthesia.”

Robertson assured her that anesthesia wouldn’t open her up for demonic attacks because God will protect her, but warned her that hypnosis is a different story.

“I don’t think there’s a danger of being taken over by the demonic, I do think when people are hypnotized though — it this the power of suggestion — you are opening yourself up at that point,” Robertson said. “I think being hypnotized is a danger.”
