For by him (Christ) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. And he is before all things and by him all things consist – And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 1:16 – 17. Colossians 2:16.
Jesus is the creative and eternal word of God– the word that became flesh and dwells among us. He is the word that is sustaining the world now and will re-​create it when all things shall be made new. The invisible world of God’s angels and realms of fallen angels (demons) with Satan as the head is real as beyond your existence and imaginations, except you go by the word of God, you will go and fall for the lie. Going by the spirit of the word and not by the letter of the word, the above scriptures are loaded with power of mass destruction to dethrone evil kingdoms and neutralise evil powers– to abort the enemy’s attack in spiritual warfare of demonic confrontation. The power and the anointing from these scripture are yoke breaking, intensely efficacious against powers of darkness: to obstruct the adversaries from carrying out their nefarious work and leaving them in total perplexity. As Christians, the good news about our trials, struggles and spiritual combat is that God has Satan under control anytime and anywhere. He cannot act to go beyond divine consent, permission (if the fault is not from us by giving place to Satan) purposes, pleasures and providence.
Satan was the first sinner in heaven before the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden. Whosoever commit sin is of the Devil, because Devil sinned from the beginning; and for this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. He is called the tempter (1 Thessalonians 3:5) for the role he played –entered into the serpent to seduced Eve and Adam to sin against God and to win them to his side. He failed for his pride and covetousness to take the glory, throne and power and position of God, sought to overthrow God’s kingdom and usurp the Only Potentate in heaven and was cast out to earth. He failed in haven but he succeeded on earth where he overthrow man created in the image of God from his position of authority and dominion to succeed and take his God’s given authority.
After the fall of man in the Garden, humanity lost divine nature for the corruption inherited from Satan and his nature – lusts brought sin into the world by Adam’s transgression. This is the evil link between man and Satan– the lusts of the eyes, the lusts of the flesh and the pride of life. Lust is to desire what is not appropriate to seek after. It also meant war to have before hand, what is not given or permitted by God to have at that particular point in time by force, and other ungodly method. Lust is also spiritual deception of eyes and heart –one is the light (eye) of the body and from the other (heart) flows the issues of life. From these two points, the enemy seeks to get to us and to continue his fight, contention and rebellion against God through man, knowing this that his fate is already sealed in the bottomless pit prepared for him. We must prayerfully mortify the works of the flesh to overcome Satan by applying the atonement blood against the spirits behind those deadly works of the flesh (and that means killing off everything connected with pleasure of sin: sexual promiscuity, impurity, lust, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and grabbing whatever attracts your fancy. That’s a life shaped by things and feelings instead of by God. It’s because of this kind of thing that God is about to explode in anger. It wasn’t long ago that you were doing all that stuff and not knowing any better. But you know better now, so make sure it’s all gone for good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty talk.Don’t lie to one another. You’re done with that old life. It’s like a filthy set of ill-​fitting clothes you’ve stripped off and put in the fire. Every item of your new way of life is custom-​made by the Creator, with his label on it. All the old fashions are now obsolete. Colossians 3:5 – 11. MSG Translation) doing and speaking the word of God stored in the heart through the power of the Spirit of God within us to resist him whenever he brings the pictures of sin or the thoughts of it before us. James 4:7.
We should know and understand that every thought against God: and every evil and blasphemous word against the Most High, and every actions and deeds against the creation and creatures of God, and every evil works and unwillingness to walk after and to obey heavenly Father is from Satan – indirectly fulfilling the will of Satan. Everything hated by God and are abomination before him are Satan’s delights and adoration which he employs the sons of men to be occupied therein to provoke God — blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempted he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:12 – 15.
The Satan of today was at the beginning known as Lucifer (light and joy) before his fall, and was once an admirable, good and a holy angel like every other ministering spirits (angels) of God. Note: ministering spirits are innumerable company of angels of two different categories of differentiation and to identification of assignments and category (Hebrews 12:22) such as the Cherubim or Cherubs and the Seraphim or seraphs as the scriptures reveals. The difference between these two types of heavenly beings is there appearance.
Angel Michael and Lucifer (Satan) were both in the same category of angels in the past; but not in the same section of activity or assignment and capacity. Michael is the prince (arch angel. Jude 1:9) over the Cherubim’s, Lucifer was the director of music with great authority to direct all the celestial choirs that were under his leadership as the anointed cherub that covers. All the cherubim have great strength, part of them to fight as the hosts of God; and the strength of the rest of them is to serve God in their unceasing eternal praises and worship before the throne of God which the present devil was the anointed Cherub (chosen and elect leader) that once covered the throne of worship. God’s eyes are purer than to behold iniquity; therefore sin shall not dwell with him. Because of Satan’s rebellion against God, confusion and war broke out in heaven, and we see countless Cherubim of angels divided into two parts, one part were loyal to God, while other part sided with Satan in his attempt to take the throne from God by coup celestial. Michael and his angels (faithful Cherubim) got the secret weapon and power from the blood of the Lamb shed before the foundation of the world to fight against the dragon (Satan) and his angels (one over third Cherubim) and to expel them from heaven — mission accomplished. This was the cause of the uproar and war in heaven between the loyalists’ angels of God (Michael and his angels) and the loyalist angels which were evil ambitious with the devil. ‘And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:7 – 11. Presiding over the seraphim is the angel Gabriel, the chief of communication department in heaven, (Luke 1:19) the chief supervisor of celestial and divine communication delivery from the throne of God to and fro the earth. Should there be any opposition from the kingdom of darkness, as always has being, there shall also be a swift and rapid intervention from Michael’s department (warfare– Genesis 3:24) to clear the route in the spirit realm for safe delivery of any communication for the angel sent. Daniel 10:13. The Cherubim have four faces and four wings which enables them to fight both from the front and back; while the seraphim have six wings to fly with quick movements for the delivery of messages to and fro the earth – are they not ministering spirits sent to minister (to defend against demonic attacks and to deliver messages) to the heirs of salvation on the behalf of God as they work to execute divine instructions. Psalms 103:20. Hebrews 1:14.
God is worshipped in heaven by the twenty four elders and by every creatures therein: but Lucifer’s praises and worships were unique and second to none; incomparable in quality, power and glory to any mass or individual choir before the glorious throne of God by the reason of the qualities of his exceptional and outstanding decorations, beauty and presentation as the chief over the Angelique and celestial choristers. He was filled with wisdom for continuous– refreshing and inspirational anointed music to facilitate his work for an effective unceasing ministration of offering of high praises, so that his ministry and ministration should not be boring, but ever new and refreshing and inspiring. This was the space occupied by Lucifer and the opportunities given him in the past through the gifts and ministerial position God has privileged him in heaven. His deceitful heart and opinionated thoughts of himself for all the beauties and qualities of his being, and the admirations he had before the throne of God were the factors responsible for his vain pomposity and delusional imagination to become like God, otherwise, he became nothing, meant to be bruised shortly under our feet – and seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not. Jeremiah 45:5. Romans 16:20.
It is ever a privilege for any creature to serve the self existing and all sufficient God in any capacity he assigns them. His angels he charges with folly; there is no work in which he employs them or sons of men; but, if he pleased, he could have it done as well without them or us: even as he used the dumb ass to forbid the madness of his prophet, so also the inanimate things created reveals and speak of his glory and can fulfil any of his pleasure. Job 4:18. Satan and his loyalist former angels (demons) are outcast from the presence and the throne of God in heaven down into the earth. They are vagabonds –without a fixed place or habitation, neither any particular location. This is the reason they seeks to possess humans and animals body or houses (maison envoutee in French) to operate evil. A demon possesses the ability to inhabit and possess both animate beings and inanimate objects as contact for instruments of their destructive works. Such animals and pets as pigs, dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rats and ants are use by sorcery to attack people, and inanimate objects such as tree, house and artificial hairs, ungodly rings, neck chains, ear rings and amulets etc to gain access, to ensnare and to ensure continuous captivity of the ignorant and spiritually blinded men and women in perpetual bondage. Genesis 6:1 – 4. Deuteronomy5: 6 – 10. 2 Corinthians 2:11.
Directly or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously, willingly or unwillingly; many people are foolishly and ignorantly fulfilling the will of Satan under the influences and inspirations of evil spirit’s in will worship through fanciful admiration of keeping certain (polluted) inanimate objects and art works at home and by their frequent visits to false places of worship, bowing to images in the form or representation of God, Christ, angels, saints or Mary the mother of Jesus. Strong discernment is required and careful attention should be given to spiritual things and lifestyles to differentiate the entire truth of full gospel of God and of his Christ from the half truth and the lies coming from the kingdom of darkness (false doctrines from false teachers, servants of Satan-​deceitful workers of demonic manipulations and from lying false dreams, revelations and voices from false prophecies and deceitful revelations from the depth of the marine kingdom and from the familiar spirits) to lure men into hell with Satan.
The evil spirits cannot operate effectively without an accomplice. Some people will argue that demons are different from the fallen angels, but the facts remains the same that Satan with his angels are fallen spiritual entity-​either demons or the fallen angels.
I will take it that some of those demons overstepped their boundary after expulsion from heaven without divine permission to further their rebellious act against God by turning themselves to men, taken the form of masculine human-​like creaturesto have physical sexual contact with the beautiful daughters of men to raise off spring by them are presently cast into hell and committed to pits of darkness, reserved for great judgment day as pre-​punitive measure awaiting their final destruction with the presently active demons to be thrown altogether into the eternal lake of fire at the end of time — and the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 6 – 7.
Prior to the fall of Satan, he was the closest to the throne of God. He was the most beautiful and wisest among all the angels in heaven. He once walked up and down on the stones of fire– the very spiritual red carpet or rug meant for the Most High. Christ named him a liar, for his lying and deceptive act against God to remove Eve and Adam from God’s favour present, which he continues today by twisting the scriptures and appealing to us though the divers lusts against the will of God. He is the author of confusion who once sought to bring violent dealings into the heaven’s of perfect peace, joy and harmony; as it is written: by the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. ‘Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord God; thou seals up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou was created.Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou was upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou were perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created, till iniquity was found in thee.By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shall be a terror, and never shall thou be any more’. Ezekiel 28:12 – 19. 1 John 3:8.
Though, he has forever lost heaven’s favours and former privileges he once enjoyed before God: nonetheless, Satan retains some of those bright and unequal qualities and abilities of the uniqueness of his creature (beauty, wisdom and power) profiting by them to deceive people as an angel of light. The influence and power he used at the beginning to worship God before his actual sin, is now been divert to steal, kill and destroy (the power of darkness– Luke 22:53) to fight against the purposes and glory of God on earth: he seeks continually to receive the worship, praises and glory belonging to God through false religion, self righteousness, idolatrous worship, and self pleasing and satisfying mentality and emotion. Satan now pollutes and adulterate church praises and worships for his pleasure by introducing spiritual pop gospel, reggae gospel and electrifying and exotic dances in the holy house of God. It all appears now that everything about the church is centred on spiritual heretical organised so called spiritual songs and music and dancing to steal the heart of God, (because it is presumed that he dwells in the lids of praise – Satan’s deception that contributed to his outcast from heaven) as if he has nothing else to care for; but he will reprove the err, even as he did against the people of old – take you away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. But let judgement run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5:23 – 24. Evil spirits are responsible for crimes such as arson, burglary, breaking hearts of others, disappointments, shame, postponement, murderer, suicide and all criminal intentions and actions which are as the result of the evil in the heart of man from the evil that dwells in them. An evil man, out of the evil treasure in his heart, not only speaks evil things, also committed evil acts. Violent and aggressive dealings, deception, manipulation, verbal abuse and dirty or filthy words, curses, evil tongues and mouth, rioting which includes domestic abuse or street fights, slangs and corrupt communication are all parts of the works of the devil in men’s lives. Such things as forgery (creation of a false written document or alteration of a genuine one, with the intent to defraud) stealing goods and property or appropriate money entrusted to us for personal use (embezzlement) which is the breach of trust, cruelty and every act of wickedness to animal or mankind, prostitution, rape, and human trafficking are part of the works of the Satan. Abortion, kidnapping, human or animals ritual, rebellious spirits to God, to parents and against the authorities, self willed, exaggeration, lying words, false witness, wars and many sudden – accidental and mysterious deaths are just little part of the works of the devil to steal, and to kill and to destroy. John 10:10.
Jesus is the only door to the Father’s heart and our main entrance to heaven.
If you are a born again Christian, let it sinks into your heart that Satan is your eternal and restless enemy and sworn adversary, roaming about, seeking whom to devour. He hates you with perfect, unlimited hatred with death sentence on you, except that from God belongs the issues of death, he should of a long time have killed you. At any time Satan turns to disturbs and fights you, your response is in the word of God, and your responsibility is to stand on the word and reminds him of his defeat by the indwelling Christ –the greater One who now lives in you as you release the word from your mouth to resist him, and to bring God and his holy angels into the situation to defend and give you victory – my defence is of God, which saves the upright in heart. Psalms7:10. Give your battles to God in unceasing prayer and he will continue to use your prayer as the wheel is being used to determine the direction of the car to put the armies of the strangers to flight in your life. I’m sorry that you are just being been caught up in the middle of a power tussle and loyalty disputation –contestation between God and Satan. It’s all begun from heaven but Adam was caught up unaware and he failed. Christ has come to set things right and to clean up all the mess of the devil — to destroy the works of the devil, though the battle against the truth and the soul of man presently intensifies. Now, you are warned and taught to be vigilant and sober and not to be ignorant of the devices of devil. Here on earth, the devil keeps working on the failed agenda and ambition he couldn’t accomplished in heaven. Because he seeks to be worshipped as God on earth, Satan works as the spoiler and waster against man and against God’s works in man’s life to draw men after him –promoting ungodliness and rewarding wickedness. Continua’s victory is guarantee, but spiritual stability is indispensable in Christ Jesus, to abide in him –to keep his word, and stay firm on the ground and affirmation of his precious unblemished blood for our victory in the authority of the name of him (Jesus) that has spoiled the principalities and powers, and has made a public humiliation of them on his cross, triumphing over them in it. In Christ is the fulfilment and completeness of believer’s life; and by not holding the head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God, he is not in safety, neither will he dwell in safety by the Lord his God. Though at war with Satan, yet we are at peace with God. We are all under the attack of the enemy but are covered by the covering of the Holy Spirit; defend always by the angels, vaccinated and immune by the blood of the Lamb. We are all involves in spiritual warfare, and daily or seasonal or sudden temptation as long as we are in the flesh, for the same affliction are accomplished in our brethren in all the world that keeps the word of God and have the testimony of Christ; but with the Lord our God, our souls are bonded with the bound of life. 1 Samuel 22:23. 1 Samuel 25:29. 1Peter5:7 – 9.
Believer’s security is the Lord number one priority and preoccupation. This is one of the reason he employs his angels to watch over and to keep you in all your ways. His eyes are always on you in all your ways at every moment. Your steps are order by him to keep you from the snares, pits and nets of the wicked. Jehovah is the strength to the poor in spirit, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones (kingdom of darkness) is like a storm against the wall.
The fruit (fruit of the Spirit) bearing believer is living (he shall dwell on high and his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; and his waters shall be sure) an exalted life because he is born of God and his life is hid in God in Christ. Such men are not terrified by any terror because they are rooted and grounded and controlled by the word of God, trusting in the shadow of Jehovah’s wing against any calamity — the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.
The word of God is life and Spirit: the believer in whose heart the word of God dwells richly in all wisdom to live the gospel lifestyles is a Spirit filled believer, solidified and is unmovable and undefeatable in Christ Jesus. His eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.His heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? Where is the receiver? Where is he that counted the towers? He shall not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than they cannot perceive; of a stammering tongue that he cannot not understand. Isaiah 33: 14 – 23. Colossians 3:16. Such life grounded and rooted in the word of God shall have God as his refuge and underneath shall be his everlasting arms to thrust out his enemies before him that he might destroy them. He shall not be moved by the desolation of the wicked when it comes; and though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof: all the spiritual and physical commotions happenings in the world around him shall only serves as a reminder that his redemption is drawing nearer. The life grounded and rooted in the word of God is not frightened by the desolation of the wicked, because he has a strong and impenetrable and unbreakable shield and buckler in the truth –the word of God. This is his initiative step to firmness and steadfastness in the kingdom of peace, righteousness and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Only the Heavenly Father can make us to understand the depth of Satan, lest we attempt by curiosity intrude into what is not made known to us or to speak that which is not right to be uttered, lest we become a liar or slanderer. One thing is certain; by him through whom all things were made, even by Christ Jesus shall his sword (the word of God) approach to slay the great dragon that is deceiving the whole world. 2 Thessalonians 2:8. Jude 9 – 10. Revelation 20:10. Satan is the prince and the god of this world over the rebellious, prideful and disobedient children. He fights relentlessly against the name of Christ and his accomplished works of salvation for mankind. This is known as anti Christ spirit. The Lord’s rebuked to the Jews in one of his discourse to affiliate them with Satan– you do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, we be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.Jesus said unto them, if God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Proverbs 16:4. John 8:41 – 44. The Lord proceeded to say in one of his parables that the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, an enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?But he said, nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Many children of the wicked one are programmed by Satan to mix up with the true children of the kingdom of God in the churches. They are repulsive as they work to cause offences and stands as stumbling blocks to the spiritual and general growth of true worshippers– striving to slow down the overall spiritual progress of the church and seeking to destroy the general work of God in the lives of his children, which the Lord attributed as the part of the many works of Satan. Gone are the days when the unrighteous shall not stand in the congregation of the just. They are defiantly with conscience sealed with hot iron serving on the altars and in the choirs or as the gatekeepers in the houses of God. Matthew 13:24 – 30.
If we are not prayerful and watchful to remind ourselves of the word of God, we stood the danger of fallen into deception and fall as a prey into the hands of the deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostle of Christ. Discernments of spirit shall help us to differentiate false religious brethren, sweet preacher talkers and fake preachers for who they really are as wolves in sheep clothing, that we might save and deliver our souls by separation and to associate with those true brethren that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 1 Corinthians 15:2. 2 Timothy 2:22.
The true worshippers of God in spirit and in truth are the primary target of Satan and his demons, that by making them to fall into sin — slanderous but true report, to create the greatest scandal, upset and offence against the cross and to turn back any would be follower who is ignorant of the scriptures to walk out his own salvation with fear and trembling– that they that understand (mature believers, teachers, pastors, elders) among the people shall instruct many: yet, they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall receive a little help: but many shall cleave to them of flatteries (synagogues of Satan). And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make ready be purified, cleansed, and refined them and to prepare them against the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. Daniel11:33 – 35.
Not only are we made spectacles unto men; unto the universe and before the holy angels of God are we made spectacles, as well to the embarrassments of the demonic world in the realm of the spirits by our new identity as children of God with authority in Christ Jesus. The constant or periodic demonic harassment, confrontations, lying visions and prophecies and attacks from the gates of hell are meant to put the believer’s loyalty and commitment to the word of God and consistency in his walk of faith before the Lord Jesus to the test of the scriptures and faith, and derailment if possible. The devil should be treated as a thief (that is what and who he is) and his demons as robbers whom we are not familiar with and whose voices to sin are incognizance with. ‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John10:1 – 5. The saved in Christ Jesus bear the mark of his ownership. This price tag upon them (blood of the Lamb) separate and differentiates them in the spirit realm of affairs from the children of Satan– the unsaved and unrepentant sinners. To presume like the seven sons of Sceva did and to venture to take advantage of the authority of the name of Jesus without his mark before the evil spirits and the gates of hell is detriment and catastrophic. Today, many people negotiate with Satan and are in covenant bond with him with seasonal rituals and diabolical sacrifices to perform miracles in Jesus (fake messiah) name for fame, riches and vain glory – Jesus asked the Jews, if I cast out demons by the fingers of God, by whom do your children cast them out? ‘And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified’. Acts 19:14 – 16. Satan’s former personality as the son of morning is now turned to appear like an angel of light, but this power to deceive can be ineffective if we walk in discernment of spirit through the light of the scriptures. His establishments of fake religious churches are all around us only that they are hidden from our sight, especially if we’re lacking in the gift of discernment of spirits and are not grounded in the word of God. There is an international church of Cannabis where people worship their so called God and got high with weeds in preparation for praise, worship and ministering of the word. There is an openly gay church in Los Angeles overseer by gay pastor Curt Thomas who was excommunicated from a sound biblical assembly for his indecent sexual behaviour. There is one called and known officially as the bishop to the gay churches, and we have Lesbian pastors and prophetess all around us initiating souls into the kingdom of darkness and making them hell bond in the name of sexual orientation, legalization and revolution. There is an organisation answering the church of Satan, formerly located in San Francisco California but is now in hell’s kitchen, Manhattan, New York city. There are many more of the fake churches around us but are not bearing such names, but when you get inside the so called places of God’s worship, you’ll found out that it is what the Lord called ‘the synagogue of Satan’ by comparing the scriptures to the activities that are going on inside those churches and among the worshippers– the anti Christ messages and lifestyles. Measuring their preaching and doctrines and practice on the scale of the word of God– discerning the fruits of their works in the light of the word of God, you will discover that they are of Satan– grapes cannot be gathered from thorn bushes or figs from thistles.
Satan’s temporal occupancy and central operational base is in the second heavens from where he delegates his demons to modernize and perpetrate evil and to report back to him on their different missions on earth in quest of their inconceivable and impossible desire to rule the world, by re-​doubling their efforts in every passing moments, hours and every day in their nefarious works to bring men into eternal perdition and destruction with them. Just like in the Garden of Eden, the devil tempted man to sin, but by the act (volition) of man making the choice, he became his servant. Whosoever commit sin is of the devil –by sin, man sold himself to the devil and the latter became his master by the rule of law. While the demons took advantage of each abomination, sinful and wicked act to name after themselves; for example, the spirit of fornication, spirit of covetousness, spirit of pride, spirit of strife, spirit of stealing, spirit of jealousy, unforgiving spirit, spirit of stubbornness or lying spirit etc…and though, we may see our sins as natural works of the flesh, ordinary and common in our lustful and carnal mind and eyes; and our spiritual blindness and ignorance may prevent us from seeing them as loathsome to God; yet, they are as the indirect and influence of the operations of the prince of the power of the air on earth, the spirit that works in the children of disobedience to blind the minds of them which believes not. 1 Kings 22:21 – 22. Ephesians 2:2. 1 John 3:4 – 9. 2 Corinthians 4:3 – 4. Let us not be overtaken by the spirit of slumber (though, it is his work to cause insomia as well) as the devil will seek to quench our zeal and the fire of the Spirit of God in us. Satan is a liar who will tell you that it doesn’t take all that sweats to serve God – don’t be fanatical. Let us therefore discern to judge and to walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, that whatever we do or speaks, it falls in line with the word of God and not with the traditions from our parents, ancestors, national or international norms, ideas or opinions. Evil spirits are called foul spirit, and they can cause deafness and dumbness’ with other infirmity of the flesh. The foul spirit is Mark 9 verses 25 speak of two things, uncleanness and wickedness. They can also cause mental madness (insanity of the mind, lunatic and erratic behaviours). The bible says there is no peace for the wicked: restlessness is one of the attributes of Satan’s personality. Anyone who is aimless, unsettled, disorganised, marked by an absence of due or proper care or attention to detail; not concerned with cleanliness, vagabond and wanderers from place to place without a purpose, and is under distraction from the most important thing for unimportant issues is the works of Satan in the lives of the sons of men. Offence against the undiluted word of God is the strength of Satan to hold on to a particular stronghold in people’s life. The heart is hardened to live defiantly against the word of God instead of submission and reverence to all the scriptures given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for reproof, correction and instructions in righteousness– this is the spirit of hidden (not open) rebellion, the devil’s trademark –man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out from the mouth of God does he live. As long as every thought is not brought to the obedience of Christ, there is an enemy’s stronghold and presence. Dishonesty, lying spirit and deceitfulness (worldly smartness) and hypocrite lifestyles is the mark of Satan’s mark and success in someone’s life. Unjustified excuse or absence from prayer meetings, bible studies, night vigils and Sunday services are the devices of Satan to keep you cold or lukewarm for the Lord to spew you out of his mouth. Emotional instability, the absence of sound mind which is given by the spirit of God to live in fear of the unknown, known, seen and unseen– demonic intimidation of emotional distress and unrest– panic attack. Sexual sins and diver lusts, seduction and promiscuous lifestyles are the expertise of Satan. The practice of witchcraft and consulting with familiar spirits and worship of other gods, involving in practices and activities like palm reading, sun consultation, horoscope, water consultation, earth consultation, dead consultation, animal consultation and other demonic divination contacts are the services centre for the kingdom of darkness to enrol and prepare souls for hell in eternity. The love of money and the love of pleasure more than God: religious spirit in conformity to the world’s standard and mentality and lifestyles (defiled religion-​spotted with the world. James 1:27) is just Satan’s little tip of the iceberg for the broad way and wide gate so called Christians heaven seekers. These are part of the destructive and evil personality of Satan, his evil works and schemes in contrast to every good and perfect gift that comes from above, from the Father of light, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17.
God has created all things for his pleasure; yes, even the wicked for the day of evil. Satan is the perfect opposite of everything that God is. He works aggressively and violently without rest from different directions up and down the earth against the creator of heaven and earth and against his creatures. He is responsible for all the profaneness and sacrilegious act to provoke God against man and to make them to hate the creator.
God is light– the God of truth without iniquity and all his works are in done in truth, there is no darkness in him; he gives light to them that sits in darkness. The devil is the prince of darkness and father of lies, deceitful and malicious, and he loves darkness (evil secrecy) more than light. The Lord will give strength and power to his people that they may effectively fulfil his work on earth: but Satan also gives diabolical power to false prophets and apostles to perform lying miracles and wonders to disrupt and pollute the wondrous works of God, just as he empowered the Egyptian magicians to confront God in Moses and to replicate the miracles. Such false servants are not preachers of righteousness, but of false grace which does not take sin into account; instead of overcoming it by denying ungodliness and worldly lusts. These false teachers are holding the truth in unrighteousness and their speeches and actions betrays them. They pretentiously and wickedly preach another Jesus and gospel, imparting, communicating and transferring evil spirits to unguarded simple souls, preparing them for hell. While they promised them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. Those that were clean escaped from those who live in error. 2 Corinthians 11:4. 1 Peter 5:12. 2 Peter 2: 17 – 19. Revelation 16:14. God strengthens us daily to stabilise us in Christ Jesus, while the devil seeks to destabilise and to weaken us in our walk, prayer life and study life, to discourage and bring confusion, competition, comparison and strife among the brethren. He sets up false doctrines, known as the doctrine of devils to disputes against the unchanging word of God. He can bring the faces of your loved ones to portrays as enemies to fight you in the dream just to set up division and conflict within the family as men hold their good and innocent friends and family members as enemies, sometimes wrongfully accusing and holding them responsible for the problems they knew nothing about. The devil moved Cain to slay his brother –Abel. He will do the same against any righteous and steadfast believer to break their heart for their good works in Christ Jesus. God is merciful and kind; but the enemy will whisper and inspire wickedness and cruelty in the hearts of men to destroy each other. God is holy in all his works and pure in all his ways, but the devil represents and stands for corruption and all kinds of impurity and sexual perversion and immorality, captivating and destroying mankind as he did in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The devil works to persuade that while the majority of people are living in sin and depravation of life, why should any be different? By the way, majority could not be wronged? Shall the loving God send all the evildoers to hell, just like the Jehovah witness claimed he wouldn’t? God is righteous and whosoever practises righteousness is born of him and knows him. Satan, as the first sinner from the beginning, works to deceive and to persuade men that righteous life does not pay off in the world where the wicked and the proud are called happy, and they that tempt God escaped and prospers. He strengthens the hands of sinners and deceitfully prospers their works to provoke the righteous to envy the prosperity of fools and to run after unrighteous gain. Only the babes and unstable men in the word of righteousness will fall into the trap of pursuing materials at the expenses of the treasures of Christ riches. Psalms73:3 – 13.
The doctrine and lifestyles of godliness is profitable in all things, having promise of the present life, and of that which is to come; but Satan is making make sure that those who have chosen to live a godly life should suffer persecution that he might continue to promote sinful compromising lifestyles in favour of the hypocrites, crafty and ungodly men, rejoicing and triumphing in hypocrisy for the time being — the joy of hypocrite is for a while. Job20:5.
God is the God peace and will by all means give peace to his people. The devil is the aggressor, causing war and terror around the globe and stirring up men against one another that they should be wonderingly if there is a creator God who truly loves the creation and creature despite all the suffering and the evil on earth– but there is time for everything under the sun. It is the will of God for us to live daily in good health and in prosperity; joyful and fruitful in longevity. Not so equal thoughts and idea for man with the terrible and horrible Satan with his demons and agents that are attacking and destroying men through affliction of sicknesses, demonic poverty, depression, sadness and sorrow and grief which the Lord has borne on the cross for them that believe. God is upright who has great pleasure in the upright and uprightness of life; but the devil is crooked, subtle and corrupt; seeking to pollute, defile and keep man in the state of uncleanness, impurities, waywardness and unfaithfulness in life. God is ever steadfast and unchanging. The devil as the deceiver of the whole world will present integrity as unpopular, that inconsistency is the norm to survive and prosper in the crook and perverse nations; that none should be trusted and everyone is afraid of his neighbour and there is no one to trust; even in the church. This is part of the act of Satan– the spirit of betrayal. ‘Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them’. Luke 22:3 – 4.
Without faith it is impossible to please God. The devil will work and try to hinder and delay your breakthroughs and miracles, seeking to provoke impatience by mounting up pressures through people around to despise and mock your faith in God. He will try to attack you through the spirit of anxiety, to bring you to the state of doubt and unbelief and discouragement so that you might miss your time of divine visitation. The devil is after your faith in God; and the Lord asked, if the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on earth? Shall he found unfeigned faith in you?
God is ready and willing to deliver you over and over again; but the devil will bring thoughts of insecurities, lying and deceptive dreams over and over again to accuse and condemn you through the old sinful and shameful deeds and memories that ought to have be deleted long ago from your conscience by the blood of Christ; just to make you feel unworthy of divine love, forgiveness and relationship with your loving Heavenly Father; that he might separate you from the love of God and to bring you back into bondage; if you stop believing in the faithfulness of him who has promised to forgive, restore and to cleanse us by the blood of Jesus from all unrighteousness, if you have confessed and forsaken your sins. God is known in his palaces for refuge, to protect and defend us always from all evil. The devil will whisper to suggest additional diabolical protection and covering apart from the all sufficient and incomparable divine protection, just to expose and make you vulnerable to his attacks, calamities and destruction.
God seek to work through you and his thoughts toward you are for good and not evil. The devil will whisper fear of terror, evil and certain uncertainty, seeking to attack you with different evil thoughts if you will not take your stand and be renewed in the spirit of your mind to resist him steadfastly in faith through the word of God.
God is the glory and the lifter up of your head, but the devil works tirelessly as the evil horn to oppress (Zachariah 1:21) and to make sure that the covenant child who is brought by the blood Jesus do not enjoy his covenant rights to keep him under financial oppression, especially if such believer is not violent to take the kingdom by force to possess his possession. God will open the door that none can close, but the devil will seek to hinder the brethren from enjoying the opportunity before them by hardening the heart of others through hatred and jealousy to obstruct their way as adversaries against the people of God– to orchestrate delay, trying to limit the unlimited God before men. God will command his blessings where there is harmony and unity among his children. The enemy always sow seed of discord and seeks to advocate division and self sufficiency in the churches knowing that God hates such things.
Just as the Lord Jesus lives to intercede for us; likewise is the devil working day and night to accuse, persecute and condemn the believers before the throne of God. Is it not written that every tongue that shall rise against us in judgement shall be condemned? Just as the blessings are sent from heaven to the people of God on earth; the devil is angrily railing curses and issuing unrighteous decrees against the church; but who can curse him whom God has not cursed– Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law! Just as Christ has come to open the prison door to them that are bound; on the contrary, the devil works as the antagonist against the freedom of the oppressed, resisting and contending violently that the prison door should not be opened, but the Lord’s people shall be willing, in these days of his power, and by the blood of Christ covenant, the prisoners are released from the waterless-​dry pit. You know that Satan and his demons are rebels from heaven, they belong to, and they live in the dry places –the rebels dwell in dry places, where they are walking through, seeking rest and finding none, so they love and work to make man malheureux– misfortune and miserable in self isolation and disengagement from godly people. Psalms 68:8. Matthew 12:43.
This is the verdict, assurance and rest — for this purpose was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whatsoever the devil has done in the past can be undone, reversed and nullified by the blood of the Lamb and through the power of Christ resurrection. The Lord will frustrate the tokens of the liars and make his children enemies (Satan, his demons and their agents) to be found as liars unto them. Whatever Satan plan to do now can be stopped and triumphed over. And, whatever he plans to do in the very near future can be bind and prevented and overruled. Satan is a total nuisance, failure and looser in the lives of the children of God which are purchased by the blood of Christ. Just as Satan was created by God but he’s not fulfilling the purposes of his existence, so he’s fighting to disrupt men from fulfilling their divine purposes and destiny, to make them a failure and a looser, if they shall not seek earnestly unto God for grace to walk straight in their pilgrim journey, and help for reinforcement for victory in their spiritual warfare, and an enduring spirit for a crowning success in their celestial race at the end of time.
