There is a difference between demonic aktevitet and carnal aktevitet the church of God! Part 1
It is not just out in the mission field that demons work and graduate, but also in Norway. But here in Norway are as deep sea fishing while out on the mission field is that fish are near the surface of the water. But fish are fish, and demons are demons. Actually vrimmler that of demons, and there are as many of them in the Western world as it is in the so-called developing countries
From my commentaries Markus Gospels Liset 1 23 Now there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. He began to shout:
Here was a real encounter gangs made manifest what actually lived in his heart. He had been there before and many greeted him and he greeted back. But it was only when Jesus entered the synagogue, the spirits of this man came forward. So it is today, it is only when light from the sky begins to reveal that Satan is revealed.
24 "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God! "
At bottom, then, Jesus had created this demons as he stood face to face with. We read in Kol.1. 16 For by Him all things were created:
in heaven and on earth,
the visible and the invisible,
thrones and rulers,
powers and spiritual forces -
All things were created through him and for him. But this demon also knew him.
25 But Jesus rebuked the spirit, saying, "Be silent and come out of him!"
Here Jesus takes authority and may allow this no longer to make themselves known. There had been plenty of those who had been blinded by this announcement here:
Jesus of Nazareth? I know who you are: the Holy One of God! "
26 The evil spirit shook the man screamed and came out of him.
Even above Jesus, he did not. It would not appear because it thrived where it was. Was a real encounter gangs but were never revealed until Jesus came. There are plenty of demons that thrive in religious meetings because they know they will never be revealed before the light comes from the sky.
27 All were amazed, they talked at each other and said, 'What is this? A new teaching - and with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. "
The Pharisees and the scribes did not really team up with Satan and demon. It also makes the religious today. How does a it? Note that empty grievous sin that remarriage, state aid, etc. are never any real consequences among believers. They smile and say, that's not good, but they never deal with sin which makes demons get a free pass into the church and among the faithful.
Demons looks like some kind of offspring of d fallen angels who suffer nanisme where they are smaller than the fallen angels, but the children as the fallen angels were with men eksene were giants. We read about this several places in God's word, for example in the Pentateuch:
1. Genesis 6 4 In those days there were giants on the earth and likewise ago, when the sons of God went to the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, it's the mighty from ancient times, the renown.
Based on the font so did not get the fallen angels allowed to multiply after this and those that did were imprisoned by God before the day of judgment at the white throne.
2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into darkness, into custody for judgment.
Spirit powers are much more "normal" than what most people think and believe when God's word says that all people are the affects of these in greater or lesser degree.
From my commentaries Ephesians 2 2 You lived at the current world view and let you lead the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the disobedient.
Paul addresses himself with "Yes, we lived once all that they. We followed the desires of our sinful nature and let ourselves be guided by it, and by our own thoughts. How were we by nature under God's wrath, even as others ". Ef.2 0.2 to 3. It must be a past and present in a person's life if they want to listen to Christ. There is no way to be better than others, but being a Christian requires a break with this world's sinful nature, and a commitment to Christ. "That was before his conversion, Paul said about himself that he was better than everyone else . In Philippians he writes: "I have certainly what I can see by the flesh. If anyone thinks that he can rely on such a thing, can I do it even more. "But after his conversion, the tone has become another:" We glory in Christ, and put no trust in any human. "By this clear Christ Confession came He opposed relation to the people and to future religious leaders. But after meeting with the risen Jesus Christ, it was impossible for him to preach any other gospel than what he had received. The Holy Spirit had clearly revealed to Paul who he was. "I know that in me, that is the way I am in myself staying no good." He maintains both for themselves and for everyone else that the only path to salvation was to turn to Jesus Christ in order to receive the undeserved mercy and forgiveness from him. He even got to experience the persecution which he had previously begun to Christians. He previously burned with hatred against the Christians, now burn with love for both Jews and Gentiles. "I have great sorrow in my heart. Something that always distresses me. I would like to be cursed and separated from Christ, it was only to help my brothers and countrymen. "Rom.9, 3rd
It is not difficult to register them antichristian forces are effective today. It goes both preaching and shapes. The most active to persecute Christians is precisely those who think about themselves: "I have the right-enough that I can show to human advantage." When both mayors, politicians, diocesan council and the media opposes episcopal candidate because he chose to stand on Scripture, they all combine to reveal the major distinction is between this world and the kingdom of God. Actually, this is only natural, Paul writes in Corinthians: "As a man is, in itself, does not accept the things of the Spirit of God. For him it is foolishness, and he can not understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. "" As soon antagonism tages away is that being a Christian vrøvel. "
3 Yes, we lived once all that they. We followed the desires of our sinful nature and let ourselves be guided by it, and by our own thoughts. How were we by nature under God's wrath, even as others.
All human beings are not intellectual neutral. Whether we are influenced by God or Satan. By the fall so all men were "sold" to Satan. On Calvary was alll people "vunnnet" back to God.
How to overcome Satan, the fallen angels and demons? It is by putting on the whole armor of God and not let the flesh, darkness or sin in some areas of our lives. This is from my commentaries on Ephesians to have whole armor of God:
Ephesians 6 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power!
So it is that Paul skips from the human and natural part of the spiritual. But all this goes together. The word of God encourages us to be strong and be overcome. There we are by being obedient to God org his words and put his mighty power. Even in the Old Testament was the powerful promises for it to be obedient as we find such in 5th Genesis 28, how much more in the new covenant!
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may stand against the wiles of the devil.
Here we put on God's armor. What it is and incorporates coming in the next verses. We should not just put on some parts of the armor, but the armor. But there are so many believers who never comes out or goes into spiritual battle that this is something they can not completely relate to. It is only when one has been in fights that realize how important and vital this is. Have you been to struggle and suffer defeat, they will do everything one can to not be defeated in the next fight!
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The real enemies are evil spirits who are led by the devil. There are evil spirits of different orders of magnitude and positions. There are demonic world rulers who operate in this darkness that the world finds itself in. It is a struggle against "evil spirits in high places". That is, they belong to the spirit world, and thus they are eerily dangerous and insidious. Satan appears in many different ways, both as an angel of light (2 Cor 11.14) and as a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). He's dangerous when he appears as an angel, disguised as a messenger of the Gospel.
God's word says about the end times: "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. It happens at the hypocrisy of false teachers, who are branded in their own conscience "1 Tim 4.1 to 2. Heresy has thus its origin in evil spirits, and heresies are affected by, or under the influence of evil spirits. Therefore we can say that there is a battle against people in and of themselves, but the devil and evil spirits using or abusing people in their fight against God and Christians.
God's word does not deny that we have a sinister opponent who along with horrific evil spirits will do everything possible to deceive God's children. But we know that Jesus disarmed the evil spirits when he triumphed at Calvary (Col. 2:15). Although the devil and his spiritual army is defeated, it is not judgment executed yet. Therefore, they have yet another time to seduce and tempt us humans, but the judgment of them have already passed.
But there are also different spirits we face. We can divide them.
1) The powers and authorities.
2) The world rulers of this darkness.
3) Evil spirits in high places.
Here we meet three different areas of the enemy armies that will fight and disturb us. Two of the secret to victory is to know ourselves and our own momentum. And know the enemy and his impact.
1) Here we meet people "Face to Face". Why will not the media and everything else write and relate factual and objective to us believers and objectively? Satan is behind.
2) There is a Spirit that the Bible describes Satan as the Spirit Antichrist `s Ghost, the Spirit is at work in the sons of disobedience works and reigns in this world. The opposite of God's Spirit, we say.
3) Here are the demons and fallen angels. Demons are like "little" men at 1 \ 2 m if one were to see them visible to the eye. The fallen angels are demons again and can even multiply, we read in 1 Genesis 6 The assumption has been estimated to rule this world before with Lucifer. We read several places in Scripture that demons innfiltrert and occupied people. While the fallen angels went so far as to have sex with women and had children with them, they had a chance to reproduce. But they are spiritual beings who can be both visible and invisible to the eye sacrifice!
1. Genesis 6 4 At that time and since, too, there were giants on the earth. For god's sons lived with the daughters of men and had children by them. Those were the mighty men of old, the famous.
Man gives birth to girls fighting, they are the Son of God has other genetic conditions that are stronger and different people after the fall.
King David exterminated those who survived the flood, and today is the spiritual people and not flesh and blood,
2. Samuel 21 18 Then came the new battle with the Philistines, at Gob. There felled Hushathite of Shoo-seed a man named Saf and was a descendant of Rafa. 19 Once again, it came to battle with the Philistines at Gob. Elhanan son of Ja'are-oregim of Bethlehem, killed as Goliath of Gath, who had a spear shaft as thick as a weaver's beam. 20 Since it came to battle at Gath. There was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four fingers and toes in all. He also belonged to Rafa's husband. 21 The man taunted Israel. But Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shimea, killed him. 22 These four belonged to the sons of Rapha in Gath. David and his men killed them.
23. 21 He cast a huge Egyptian. Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah went against him with a stick, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
It is only at the end of the great tribulation that these spiritual dimensions will reveal his true self to all people. Until then we are their biggest rivals and they are our hardest and biggest opponents. But Jeus have defeated them on the cross once and for all. It is well and good to know.
Do also remember that Satan is very concerned about this so he put out lies that are not true about this. See here: According to ZetaTalk Davids grandmother had been raped or abused as sex slave by an Anunnaki-soldier, and had then given birth to a hybrid (David's grandmother). It was thus Anunnaki blood in the veins of David, and as a child he had by her mother learned to hate the Giants. This is just a giant hoax!
This is from my commentaries Colossians Dispenser Letter 2 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them up to the scorn and derision when he triumphed over them in it.
Satan and demons has had on our lives. We were in the dark and thrived in the dark and was Satan's property. But they were disarmed and moved forward as liars, accusers and without real power. Satan and the demon had been ravaged long and hard enough. But not anymore, now they were defeated. The victory is complete. God the Father is fulfilled through Jesus' work at Calvary. We have sins forgiven and God can take us to the grace and adopt us into his family as his own children. And Satan and demon has no real power anymore, they are living on borrowed time! Jesus resetting of the law for us believers. It does not long for us, only grace in Christ Jesus.
13 Therefore take the whole armor of God, that ye may resist in the evil day and to stand after having won everything.
Therefore encourage apostle believers to take God's armor on so that they can resist in the evil day (v. 13). The days are different. Some days we look back with joy, others we would like to forget. The days to come, we know nothing about, but experience shows that some will be good other evil. We should note that the devil is the strategist and often find a day when we feel everything is hard and heavy, when he comes with his wiles and temptations to try to cause us to fall.
Especially worse for the people of God is persecution times. In our time there are many in the world who are persecuted for their Christian faith, and the world is experiencing more martyrs than any time in history. Pursuing Reading Time will culminate at the Antichrist come and the great tribulation. Therefore it is important that we take the whole armor of God, that we may be standing.
14 Stand now ready with truth as a belt around his waist and with righteousness as breastplate,
The apostle uses the Roman soldier's armor as a picture of the battle we are in. It also seems as if he uses the same order as the soldier used to take on this armor.
"Arise then girded with truth belt around his waist and weather breastplate of righteousness" (v. 14). Starting with the belt and the breastplate. Belt should keep the long clothes up so that both were ready to move and ready for battle. Breastplate to cover and protect the vital organs such as the heart and lungs. When it speaks of 'truth belt ", it means that one should be honest and sincere in their journey, both in word and deed. A Christian've accepted the truth, Jesus, why must he in his life reflect this truth by being truthful and honest in all his ways. Only then is he able to go in the game. But he must also be wearing the "breastplate of righteousness". It must be a matter of objective justice, that is, the imputed righteousness that God imputes a sinner who take refuge in Jesus Christ. It shall be a defense against conscience and Satan's accusations. Therefore it is important that a Christian, which is imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, living as righteous in all life's situations and conditions and likewise live a true and honest life among all people. Truth belts are relying on the truth and always let it rule in life and learning.
Joh.e. 8. 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. "36 So if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed. Righteousness is life and learn match. It is when we practice what we preach, we are strong.
1. Cor. 9. 23 But all I do for the gospel's sake, that I can even come to that.
24 Know ye not that they which are in a race, everyone runs, but only one wins the prize. So run your race you win it! 25 An athlete must deny themselves everything. He does it to win a wreath that fades, we need to win a wreath that will never wither. 26 I would not run without a goal, and I am not like a boxer who beats the air. 27 No, I'm fighting against myself and forces the body to obey, lest I who have preached to others, even to be rejected.
15 and be like shoes on your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
Moreover, the Apostle mentions footwear and says: "Ha like shoes on your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace" (v. 5). Footwear is important in the fight. The Roman soldier had girded feet with sandals or shoes. These were often studded with nails so he could get a good grip. Here comparable footwear with the gospel of peace. The Gospel brings peace with God and peace in the heart of a good conscience. This peace is again a fruit of the righteousness of faith. Therefore, the Christian should always be ready to preach the gospel wherever they came. The famous ekseget Bengel says: "The Christian Soldier feet are fixed by the gospel so he can not be upset away from their place or shy."
Rom. 5. 1. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
16 Grip above all the shield of faith, with what you can quench all the fiery darts.
The shield was large, oblong shield which covered nearly the whole person. There were usually of wood but with a thick coating of leather. Fire arrows were enmeshed with a combustible substance that high or tow. They were dipped in pitch or tar to light up when they were ejected. However, it was difficult to get ignited lærtrekket the shield. When arrows hit this, they bounced off and fell to the ground and passed out. In the same way a Christian faith protect against the Devil's temptations to apostasy. It is faith in Jesus, the Son of God, who conserves and protects God's children from the fiery arrows. The same thought, we read in the Apostle Peter where he urges Christians to resist the devil, steadfast in the faith (1 Peter 5:9). So what is the fiery arrows? It can be words, books, magazines, film, pornography, images, ideas, thoughts, (desires) that attack our heart purity. Who has not noticed that suddenly pops up an image or a thought, as it is difficult to get away. Some are bothered by the sins and failures of youth. Even if one has received forgiveness of sins, pop evil thoughts and photos up. But they must be rejected so they do not get rooms in the heart. But how? Go to Jesus with them and put the matter to him. He's trying for everything, but without sin. In such situations, it may also be helpful to consult a counselor or another Christian, one has confidence.
The Apostle James writes about temptation and say God tempts no continues: "But every man is tempted, drawn and enticed by lust. When lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But when sin is full-grown, brings forth death "Jak 1.14 to 15. It is the Devil who tempts and could lead to the downfall of a Christian if one is not on duty. So let's live in the community with our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, will be the Devil's temptations revealed and refuted.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word.
The soldier takes the helmet on his head, then grabs his sword with his right hand. The helmet protects the head which is the grandest member of the body. The fact that the Christian has received Salvation and live in salvation, protect the person from any danger. Awareness of salvation, both that one is saved here and now and eternal salvation, a protection against the devil and his spiritual army. When a Christian is Jesus Christ, the devil can not harm the believer as long as he remains in communion with Jesus, but he may be tempted to apostasy. Salvation helmet speaker to have victory in the thought life, do not give the devil room we read in chapter 4. 2. Cor. 10. 3 We live in the world, but we do not advocate that people do. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of people, but they have their power from God and can add strongholds in ruins. We tear down imaginations, 5 and all big and proud as itself against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 6 We are ready to punish all disobedience, once you have reached full obedience.
Finally, mention the sword that is an assault weapon. There is no carnal weapons, but spiritual, which the Holy Spirit gives a Christian. It is God's word. Hebrews writer says about the word effect: "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword. Piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and judges the thoughts and advice "Heb 4.12. The word of God is living and active God's Holy Spirit is the word, and it provides the basis of the Holy Spirit when it is preached. God's Word is the strongest weapon attacks God's people have against the devil and his spiritual army. Therefore it is important to hear the word of God, read it, learn it (like by heart), ponder it, talk about it, pray over it. In other words, take care of it. Word is the safest and best weapon to keep Satan away and drive him to flee because he can not stand the word of God.
There was also what Jesus used when he was attacked and tempted by the devil in the wilderness (Matthew 4.1 to 11). In Revelation it says about those who had triumphed over the accuser: "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony" Revelation 12.11.
Therefore, the word our help in trouble, and comfort in life and death. The Bible says, "Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it" Luke 11.28. They are blessed both in time and in eternity.
18 Do this in prayer, and put it all to God! Pray at all times in the Spirit! Watch and always keep on praying for all the saints,
To take on the whole armor of God and fight in the spiritual warfare can be a struggle and hard work. But Jesus has not called us to the sofa toilers, but to work in his vineyard, as members of his body, as volunteers and active Christians in the congregation and church. Much has signs of labor. So it is with prayer. It is not intended that prayer should be a pastime only when one has nothing to do. It pays to set aside time for prayer, but prayer is also resting. Jesus says to his weary troops for the gospel and the cause of peace, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt.11, 28
19 also for me. Pray that the right words must be given to me when I have to speak, so I can boldly proclaim the gospel secret
Paul would preach in a right way gospel secrets. Here is the deal. To name a few truths here it is Jesus' death on Calvary defeated Satan. But this is just a beginning for all of God's secrets.
