And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him (David): for this is he. 13Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
I Samuel 16
When a person is disobedient to the word of the Lord, it is certainly possible that God will send to that person an evil spirit which will trouble that person.
We also see God sending a strong delusion so people will believe a lie because they had pleasure in unrighteousness and did not fear God when HE sent HIS word to them but they chose to go in their own desire which was a way of unrighteousness.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first (the falling away are people who fall away from scripture and go in another way), and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. II Thess. 2
I have seen such people in various church groups. I've never been able to reach them with truth. The strong delusion they are under is from God because they had pleasure in unrighteousness and chose the way of unrighteousness. These people fell away from scripture when they selected a way opposite from scripture and had pleasure in that way.
