Satan Demons Angels and Spiritual Warfare

[Christian Soldier]

I'm currently doing a study on this subject and I'm far from completing the study, so I'm not fully equipped to defend what I believe about this difficult subject. I'm happy to be corrected by scripture, but I don't think that private opinions or views are helpful.

As Christians, we can be sure of the existence of Satan and demons because the Bible plainly depicts them as fallen angels who work in the world to oppose God and his people, to deceive and blind unbelievers to the Truth.

We have a very real adversary who roams around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour 1 Peter 5:8. As Ephesians 6 describes, “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” Eph 6:12.

The devil is bent on destroying Christians and their testimony, and stopping the progress of the gospel.
The Scriptures indicate that Satan can oppress us, assault us, tempt us, slander us, and accuse us. But a Christian who is indwelled by the Holy Spirit cannot be possessed by a demon. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Cor 3:17).

Scripture reveals to us a real but invisible world inhabited by angels and demons. All we can say about this mysterious realm is what is revealed to us in Scripture, which is why speculation beyond the biblical data can be positively dangerous.

Angels are not the only inhabitants of the invisible world, since the Bible speaks of other invisible spiritual beings that possess an evil, malevolent orientation toward us. Scripture identifies them as “demons.” These beings are closely associated with magic and the occult.
They seek the destruction of humanity, yet they are aware of their ultimate doom, for they ask Jesus: “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God” (Luke 4:34). They are commonly identified as “fallen angels,” who, under certain conditions, can possess (control) unbelievers.

Christians are at war with the powers of darkness, the war is for the mind and soul. The aim of the enemy is to deceive Gods people, He doesn't need to deceive unbelievers as they are already blind.
There's a lot more to say, but I'll leave it at this for now.

 

[Dan Clarkston]

Christians are at war with the powers of darkness

I'm not because Jesus was victorious at the Cross and has given me authority over the devil and his demons.

So, I'm at victory over the devil instead of trying to fight a defeated foe.

Do you know some of the passages in the New Testament that tell us we have victory over the devil?

Like everyone else, you have zero power against the powers of darkness. That's just nonsense, it shows you don't know your enemy or His schemes. That makes you a sitting duck.

For your information Satan is the Prince of this world, Jesus has not taken it from Him yet. So Satan remains on His throne, directing His army of Demons to destroy Christians and you sit there and claim that you have defeated Him. You're obviously clueless about Him and His power over you.

Jesus will eventually come back with a legion of Angels to fight a war against Satan and His Demons. Satan owns humanity, they became His property when Adam fell. Christ came to pay for the sins of Gods elect, the rest still remain under Satan's power.

Jesus is going to take the world back from Satan by force, and that will be the biggest war the world has ever seen. Most of the world population will be killed in that war, so we're talking 7 billion men women and children.
Satan is happy for you to think you have power over Him, He loves it when people are ignorant and Biblically illiterate.

 

[Dan Clarkston]

Like everyone else, you have zero power against the powers of darkness

That's hilarious... thank you for admitting you know little of God's Word and what Jesus paid for at the Cross.

Jesus said His followers would cast out devils in His Name and we see this being done in the New Testament.

So yes, I have authority in my life to kick the devil out of my live... unlike you who have been hood winked by demons to believe they can walk all over you. God's people are destroyed for lake of knowledge and where's there's no vision (understanding) people perish.

You might want get some life insurance. At least think about your family so they can get by after your demons whack you.

You have absolutely zero power to cast out Devils. That power was only given to the Apostles and nobody else was given it after the Apostles, so you're fooling yourself to believe that anyone can cast out Demons.

The fact is Jesus bound Satan and His Demons in chains 2000 years ago, so they can't posses anyone. I've never heard of a genuine case of Demon possession, in the past 2000 years. I know you believe in Hollywood but I believe in God.

You can't kick the Devil out of your life, no matter how hard you try. If He's in your life it means He's already your Master and you are powerless against Him. Satan and His Demons, run like hell from me because they see the Holy Spirit in me. So I don't need any authority to kick the Devil out of my life because He refuses to come near me. Can you see the difference.

This casting out of Demons is baloney, mankind is already totally depraved and just as wicked as any Demon. So you should be more concerned about casting yourself out of yourself. Because if you don't die and be born again you'll never escape bondage to sin and Satan.

Don't forget, if Satan or any Demon wishes to poses someone, they need to ask permission from God and it's only if God allows them to posses the person that they can, but God doesn't allow them to poses hell bound dead in their sin sinners. They are already going to hell so there's no point in allowing Satan or Demons to poses them,

The other problem for Satan and His Angels, is they can't touch any elect saint of God, because God doesn't allow anything as stupid as that to happen to His elect Children.

 

[Dan Clarkston]

You have absolutely zero power to cast out Devils.

Calling Jesus a liar ends badly.

Mark 16:17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

That power was only given to the Apostles and nobody else was given it after the Apostles

Too bad you don't believe in casting out devils... demons taught you this lie.

You can't kick the Devil out of your life, no matter how hard you try.

That's hilarious, thanks for the chuckle!

Satan and His Demons, run like hell from me because they see the Holy Spirit in me.

Apparently not since they have tricked you in to believing doctrines of devils.

So you should be more concerned about casting yourself out of yourself.

More foolish jabberwocky malarkey from your pet demons

if you don't die and be born again you'll never escape bondage to sin and Satan.

I got the goods, but you been found lacking like a lackey

Here’s some interesting Scripture to consider:

2 Timothy 2:3-4: You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

Christians will surely encounter hardships, especially in these latter days. Those of us who follow Jesus are soldiers in God’s army and we need to stay very alert and take a stand against the evil one. Our battle is against the devil; we put on that spiritual warfare which is the gospel armor:

Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Ephesians 6:10-13: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

[strepho]

Good job Christian soldier. Good documentation.

Devil doesn't believe in God's word. He's enemy of Jesus.

Devil started false doctrine. He uses false preachers. They are his servants .

1 Timothy 4:1

Now the spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devil's.

Those who have spirit of stupor are defenseless against the false preachers


You need holy spirit for discernment and understanding.

Many people are involved with false preachers. They are complicit with the fake shepherds.

They're children of darkness.

Unclean spirit
Greek = PNEUMA AKATHARTON.

Demonic possession
Demonic influence

Luke chapter 4

A man in synagogue who is possessed by a demon. Jesus did cast out this unclean spirit.

Luke chapter 21

Unclean spirit dwells in his habitation.

Those who don't have holy spirit. Are open to unclean spirit.

Yes. The evil spirits are after those Christian who have holy spirit.

Devil only races to where forest fires are.


Couple weeks ago on bus. I experienced a person who had demonic possession.

As soon as I sat down. He verbally assaulted me. Yelling at me.

I defended myself, and verbally told him where to hang his hat.

Then he got up, acted like he would physically assault me.

This has satan's fingerprints all over it.

Another evil spirit in woman, sitting in the back. Yelled, he's not worth it.

Stand your ground.

Satan has everyone in his pocket, except those who have holy spirit.


Basically. Satan is bully.

Stand your ground.

Jesus gave us power over satan and evil spirits.

Use Jesus name and order satan and evil spirits out your home.


We are in spirtual warfare.
Ephesians chapter 6.

 

[Reddsta]

But a Christian who is indwelled by the Holy Spirit cannot be possessed by a demon.

Really? So you have never been involved in the spiritual deliverance of a believer with a demon or demonic influence...I take it? Have you taken a close look at the following statement from Paul...Christian Soldier?

"Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God." (2Th 2:1-4 NASB)

First Paul is speaking to the church in Thessalonica...he says among other things "do not be disturbed by a spirit"...then he says "let no one deceive you." Those are warnings that clearly have to do...with demons attacking, invading, and controlling the believer's mindset...to whom this letter is written.

Then Paul continues his "warning" of the "apostasy"...which is by the way...the fulfillment of the work of demon's specifically in Christians. The "falling away" is the result of a demonically inspired "mindset/belief" that causes the "apostate Christian" to believe that "the man of lawlessness" or the "son of destruction" is God. This alone shows us that demonic possession, influence, perversion can most certainly happen to "Christians"....Christian Soldier.

Can you prove through scripture that demons are fallen angels and not the spirits of nephalism destroyed around the time of Noah?

First of all, we need to remember that Satan and His Demons have been chained up for the past 2000. So they can't deceive or posses any Christian. Jesus said He bound Satan "the strong Man of the house, to plunder His goods". Translated that means that Jesus bound Satan in great big chains, so He can't bother God Children ever again.

The proof text for this truth is Matthew 24:24 which confirms that it's impossible to deceive Gods Elect (born again Christians), much less poses them.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

The verse proves that it's impossible to deceive Gods Elect (born again Christians)
Demon possession used to happen while Christ was on the earth, but after Christ bound Satan and His Demons we haven't seen any more Demon possession. Only the Apostles were given the power to cast out Demons, because it was a problem in their day.

The battle Christians fight is the same one which every generation after Adam has been fighting. Our battle is against Spiritual forces in high places, Paul is simply encouraging the Church to remain steadfast in the faith and not to be disturbed by the barking Dogs on the chains, (Satan and His Demons).
So Paul is simply advising the Church to ignore barking Dogs, there is no hint that these dogs can do anything other than make a noise.

To suggest that Demons can invade or poses a believers mindset is to reject what Gods Word says about the matter. God's Word tells us this is impossible so we can rest assured no Demon can ever deceive or posses any Christian.

As for the unbelievers, Satan and His Demons have no purpose in possessing them, as they are already deceived into rejecting the gospel so they're already dammed. why would a Demon poses a damned person when they are already in the same boat as the Demons themselves.

The supposed Demon possessions we hear about these days are nothing more than, rebellious people who have sunk into deep depravity. And what we witness is the manifestation of their sin, sin is a very ugly thing that leads people deeper and deeper into depravity.
It just keeps on getting worse and worse, until others start to think that they are Demon possessed but the truth is they are acting like Demons because they did the same thing as Demons and that's to reject the gospel.

The apostasy and falling away in the end times, that Paul speaks of has nothing to do with Christians. No Christian can ever fall away or be part of the apostasy.
God is the One who sends strong delusion to come upon unbelievers, and He turns them over to serve their sin, and fall for the lies and deception of the Devil. Then they won't be able to endure sound doctrine, and they will be deceived and condemned.

So the Devil and His Demons have ZERO power or influence over Christians, in fact they run from us because they are terrified of the One who is in us.

 

[Christian Soldier]

Can you prove through scripture that demons are fallen angels and not the spirits of nephalism destroyed around the time of Noah?

According to the majority of commentators I've read so far, the Nephilim and Demons are one and the same. The fallen Angels came into the women on earth and the women gave birth to the Nephilim Giants.

The Nephilim are said to have all perished, in Noah's flood. But they still exist as wicked spirits, and their power to poses certain people was taken from the by Christ when He bound the strong man (Satan) and plundered His house.

The Bible doesn't specifically tell us that Demons are the spirits of the Nephilim, but most commentators believe they are.

 

[doctrox]

Some angels rebelled against God, left their first estate and mated with earthly women. These women then gave birth to "hybrids" that grew to be of large stature aka "giants." There are 36 tribes of giants mentioned in the Holy Bible (you didn't hear that from your hireling pastors). The giants interbred with everything in sight, including animals. The giants were also cannibalistic. This is the key to prophecy, the reason why God executed the entire planet via the flood, except for Noah's eight (because his generation was perfect i.e. was not interbred with the giants).

The Nephilim are not the giants, but the giants are Nephilim-related. After the flood, the disembodied spirits of the giants remained, which is one reason why we are told that the woman is to have power on her head, because of the fallen angels and the possibility that these malevolent creatures may again desire to revisit our women for a repeat episode. The disembodied spirits of the giants are what we refer to as devils or demons; they are not eligible for salvation; they remain in the air about us everywhere; and they seek physical embodiment in us in order to act out their wicked nature.

Then there's more misunderstanding re: possession vs. oppression.

I have a ministry of deliverance. I have cast out demons. I have also done self-deliverance on myself. Casting out of demons is real. But it's not a talisman that just anyone can appropriate. One must have an unshakeable steadfast faith in Jesus Christ and a belief in the power of his blood. You can talk Buddha or Mohammed or whatever all day long, but such won't budge a demon. A greater demon may even throw a lesser demon under the bus to fake you out. The one and only thing they all fear is the blood of Jesus Christ.

There is an order to the "procedure." One must first get clean, going through sanctification continuously; it is a process. One first crucifies the flesh, then casts out the demon(s). Without repentance, none of this is possible. And the demons will know if you're not 'fessed up; their spirit sizes up your spirit, and if you're short, then you get your behind handed to you.

I hope this gives some of you hope as we walk through this increasingly dark world.

I hope this gives some of you hope as we walk through this increasingly dark world.

My Bible only has four tribes, so I have to assume you have been lied to by your hireling pastor.

1. There are the Anakim, who are descendants from the Nephilim

2. 10 The Emim, a people great and many, and tall as the Anakim. 11 Like the Anakim they are also counted as Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim.

3. the Zamzummim, also called the Zuzim Deut 2:20

4. The Amorites, another group that stood in the way of Israel claiming the Promised Land, are described as being exceptionally tall Amos 2:9-10

5. Lastly, there were the Rephaim, which are mentioned nearly 20 times, most often in association with the conquest of the promised land, when Moses encountered King Og of Bashan, whose bed measured to 13 feet in length Deut 2:11

We should also remember that Adam was around 12 feet tall, so we can assume everyone was a similar height in his time.

Demons are the fallen Angels who were cast out of heaven with Satan, they are deceiving spirits. Their only goal is to divert people from the gospel.

My Pastor told our Church that there is no such thing as "deliverance ministries". He said the word deliverance means salvation, so those who claim that deliverance ministries exist are self deluded and they are deceiving others, with their false claims.

The fact is God has the only deliverance ministry, He delivered every single elect Saint of God before He created the world. So everyone who has ever been saved/delivered in the past present and future were all saved before the world was made. So now you can see how ridiculous it is to claim that you can save people. Salvation is of the Lord alone, lest anyone boast.

God said, "you can do nothing without Me", so all that stuff about getting yourself ready for a battle is nonsense. God is the One who saves/delivers His people. Man has nothing to do with salvation, God does use men but only in the capacity of pawns on a chess board. The pawns are not autonomous, or free to run their show.

Every sermon our Pastor preaches includes the gospel, because the gospel alone has the power to change people. There's no point in trying to cast out any spirits, if the person doesn't believe the gospel message. So any so called deliverance ministry should be preaching the gospel to the oppressed person.

You have ZERO chance against any spirit, humans are no match for the weakest spirit, let alone for the powerful ones. The spirits will mess with your mind and deceive you into thinking you have some effect on them, but they do this is to keep you blind and deceived.

As Christians, we can be sure of the existence of Satan and demons because the Bible plainly depicts them as fallen angels who work in the world to oppose God and his people, to deceive and blind unbelievers to the Truth.

I use bold and red text to highlight your error. The notions applied to the Word of God on this subject are horrendous to say the least.

We have a very real adversary who roams around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour 1 Peter 5:8.

And when was the last time you saw this lion devour someone

As Ephesians 6 describes, “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” Eph 6:12.

Correct - and who were those Paul was speaking of here? Would you like to read this in context?

The devil is bent on destroying Christians and their testimony, and stopping the progress of the gospel.

Where?

The Scriptures indicate that Satan can oppress us, assault us, tempt us, slander us, and accuse us.

Right, even devour us whole you say?

But a Christian who is indwelled by the Holy Spirit cannot be possessed by a demon. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Cor 3:17).

This is garbage have you been watching Poltergeist? Your doctrine is not from the Word but Hollywood movies which take their lead from Greek mythology!

Scripture reveals to us a real but invisible world inhabited by angels and demons. All we can say about this mysterious realm is what is revealed to us in Scripture, which is why speculation beyond the biblical data can be positively dangerous.

Not a good start Christian!

Angels are not the only inhabitants of the invisible world, since the Bible speaks of other invisible spiritual beings that possess an evil, malevolent orientation toward us. Scripture identifies them as “demons.” These beings are closely associated with magic and the occult.
They seek the destruction of humanity, yet they are aware of their ultimate doom, for they ask Jesus: “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us?

If Christians believe this nonsense only the Father knows what other lies they have taken to themselves.

Not one shred of evidence in this post, not one!

Everything I wrote is based on Bible doctrine, so your argument is not against me but God Himself. You reject everything He says and you twist the meaning to make it say something completely different. At least you have been consistent in that regard, but everything else you claim is baseless and incoherent

I quoted from 2 Cor 3:17 and your response to it was that Gods word is "garbage", your words. You must own them.

You have never revealed your truth, you just mock other who quote Bible verses. You have no argument so you resort to the lowest form of defense and attack the person quoting Gods Word, which you evidently hate.

 

[Reddsta]

So the Devil and His Demons have ZERO power or influence over Christians, in fact they run from us because they are terrified of the One who is in us.

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." (Eph 6:10-13 NKJV)

While you Christian Soldier...may or may not be possessed of a demon...your mindset has certainly been affected by the religious workings of that which you do not believe exists.

[St. SteVen]

But a Christian who is indwelled by the Holy Spirit cannot be possessed by a demon. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2Cor 3:17).

That's a dangerous position to take. Yet very common in the church. That scripture gives assurance of deliverance from demons, but does not guarantee that we cannot give the entry. If you push Christ off the throne of your life, who takes his place? If Christ is no longer driving, where do you suppose that you are going? More to say in following posts. But this needs to be established first.

2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Jesus said... (full passage = Luke 11:18-26)
Notice in the quote below that the delivered person has the house swept clean and put in order. Saved?
But the demon returns with his worst buddies. Possession?
Why were they invited back in? How does this happen?

Luke 11:24-26 NIV
“When an impure spirit comes out of a person,
it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself,
and they go in and live there. And the final condition
of that person is worse than the first.”

[St. SteVen]

... the delivered person has the house swept clean and put in order. Saved?
But the demon returns with his worst buddies. Possession?
Why were they invited back in? How does this happen?

It seems that those demons line up at the door and ask for entry.
They use the same lies that gained them entry in the first place to enter again. (and worse)

Unless we resist the devil, he will re-enter. Our choice to be possessed by Jesus, or by demons.

James 4:7 NIV
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
