A born again believer cannot be possessed, the demons flee from the Holy Spirit that lives in us, but they can oppress us, even attack our thought life. Job was attacked by the devil with God's permission to show Job's faithfulness while showing Job that God was still there with him.
What we are seeing now, demons controlling and possessing Christians may be because most who say they are Christians were never born again in the first place.
Acts 9:15 "…14Seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15And the evil spirit answered and said to them, "I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" 16And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.…"
This passage is an example of those who thought they were saved and had the power of God who were not, the demons were able to overpower them.
