Demons!

For Sunday, May 26, 2024

Ephesians 6:12 NLT: “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”

We cannot see God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit, and yet that three-in-one God is the foundation of our religion. If you need evidence of a Creator God, just look around you! It’s springtime, and seemingly everything has turned green. God knew just how much to tilt the earth on its perpetual journey around the sun, so we have four seasons every year! It’s perfect! The earth itself spins, giving us day and night every 24 hours. It too is perfect!

Q: So what happened to Satan and his minions, his demons and his evil spirits? A: They are still present nowadays, providing an unending measure of misery. Even though – like God – we cannot see them, they are still hard at work. So we need to guard against their evil agenda. Put on the armor of God!

Jesus called us to the ‘priesthood of all believers,’ and the first thing a priest should do is cast out all the demons! Good and evil cannot coexist, so it you’re praying for Jesus’ intervention, you first need to remove all the evil.

With evil out of the way, deliverance becomes more likely!
