Demonic activity and possessions

Query for practicing Anabaptists:
Some friends of ours were discussing what appears to be an increase in demonic activity and demon possession, so much so that there is an increased number of calls for exorcists (specialists who help with deliverance prayers and support). Our friends also feel the increase in crime may also be driven by demons.
What are the perspectives of you and your fellowship on this observation? Is there an increase in demonic activity and possession?

Not to discredit your theory as I think you have a point, but I think hard drugs has something to do with the increase in crime as well.

I believe hard drugs and addiction are closely related to demonic possession.

I could follow that line of thought...

In addition to answers to the OP question, I would like to hear your thoughts on the connections between demonic activity, drug addictions and crime.

The Bible certainly sees that relation. The greek word pharmakaia that is often used for sorcery also includes substance (ab)use (as in pharmacy).
