Demons defined in the bible have the following attributes:
- supernatural, personal, spirit beings
- have will and intelligence
- possess superhuman strength and knowledge
- can appear to tell the future
- God created them as good angels
- fell by joining Satan’s rebellion
- Satan called “prince of demons”
- possibly 1/3 of angles became demons
- possibly a rank structure amongst demons
- execute Satan’s game plan (attack, tempt and accuse God’s people) by:
– cause mental and physical illness
– hinder spiritual progress
– know God’s truth, but twist it for their purposes
– promote false religion
- demons will becomes more active during end times
But DONT WORRY as demons have alerady been dealt with:
- God has already won
- God has provided us with the tools
My notes:
- i am not a big fan of focusing on the whole satan, demons, end times stuff – cause i think some people focus on this stuff too much – and forget that we should be loving each other!
- it is not my gift – though i do recognise that it is a gift for some people (though i suspect not as many people than who actually focus on it)
- i thank God that he has given me the tools and that he has the power to deal with it. so i can get on with loving people.
