To watch or read the news is an effort in trying to see what this world is coming to. The Bible is full of the reality of Demons, Devils and Darkness.
We see the effect of Demons and Devils every day and no longer wonder why this world has been thrown into darkness.
The Word, "Demon", has a number of meanings, all related to the idea of a spirit that inhabited a place, or that accompanied a person.
In Hebrew demons were workers of harm. To them were ascribed the various diseases, particularly such as affect the brain and the inner parts. For by controlling the brain and thoughts, Demons and Devils can control the physical body.
The Word, Devil, means, A subordinate evil spirit, A bad or fallen Angel .
When a seed of unrighteousness is planted in a mans mind, he rejects any other thing that would alter what he has already accepted as truth. Here is one example of thought control, speaking of Homosexual rights;
"I am humbled that I am the one given the honor to sign the bill," she said. "It took the tenacity of many people to make this day possible."
A demon seed was planted in the minds of lawmakers to further the growth of homo-sexuality and it became law. Here is another example from the spirit of greed; A dead body can be worth tens of thousands of dollars when it is dissected for parts. Millions of dollars a year are made from stealing body parts and selling them to hospitals.
Here is another example from Matthew 17:15, "Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water." (Strongs G4582), the moon, one who was affected with his disorder at the change and full of the moon. This is the case in some kinds of madness and epilepsy. This youth was no doubt epileptic; but it was evidently either produced or taken advantage of by a demon or evil spirit.
A lunatic is a commonly used term for a person who is mentally ill, dangerous, foolish or unpredictable. Another great example is in the Book of Job, 2:7. Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
The word, possessed means, Controlled by or as if by a spirit or other force; bewitched.
These demon seeds are present in the following types of people, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters, liars, fornicators, adulterers, drunkards, effeminate, extortioners, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies and Envyings.
Demon seeds come in various manifestations. Most of them in this modern times, are seeds of theft by law. This is stating of the many companies around the world that steal from their employees by using the law to protect their theft, such as retirement, medical benefits, ect. Other demons seed, such as rape, theft by deception(Using the Law of Emanate Domain to steel land from others to profit from their loss.) and even war, are gaining strength in this world. Isaiah 56:10-11; His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. No one wakes up in the morning determined to rape, murder, steal nor deceive anyone. These actions take place when a demon seed is planted in their mind. Demons and Devils work independently from one another and even independent from Satan.
Demons and Devils mainly go after the weak and unsaved. For in those that are saved, the Demons and Devils fear the Spirit of God that dwells within the Believer. Many times these seeds come not from the planting in the mind but from permission from God. Even Satan cannot harm a believer unless He is given permission from God, as in the experience of Job. We see this in, Matthew 8:29, And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Demons and Devils know that their time of controlling man, is a short time. Demons and Devils cannot reconcile themselves with God, for their sin was a grevious sin. They have already been judged unrighteous and will spend eternity in the lake of fire. Here are examples of different Demons and Devils in Scripture.
Mark 5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. The Demon Legion, is the most famous or should I say Infamous in Scripture. He controlled the multitude of the others demons and devils that were present.
Legion, also known as the Gadarene demon, ie; generally or often considered a vulgar demon. Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. Luke 8:28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. Demons and Devils fear not mankind, for they seek to control them, but they are afraid of the spirit of God.
Acts 16:16-18; And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. The spirit of divination is world wide today, false prophets, teachers, preachers and doctrine. If you noticed in Acts 16:16-18, Paul didn't address the woman but the demon directly. Each Demon and Devil has a name. To controll them and remove them from our lives, we must do as Jesus and Paul instructed us. We call each unclean spirit by name and rebuke them in the Name of Jesus Christ. By doing so we gain control of them and can command them to depart.
One Thing that a Christian can not do to an unclean spirit is send it to Hell. That is not within our Power. Proving this, all we have to do is look at all the spirits cast out by Jesus and the other disciples. None cast a demon to hell but simply out. 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; ars
