So about Satan and his Demons...

We have... a supernatural enemy. Christians, we know that we are from God, and the whole world has been influenced by the evil one. People probably forget that:

He's beaten the lives out of innocent people. He desires to tempt the needy into sinning against themselves and against God. He's destroyed marriages and has sexually assaulted every individual that has ever lived. Starved billions of people, causing them to die in their own filth. He's misled young and old minds into his ways. He has raped the world and it's creation at the expense of his wicked ambitions, desiring the manipulation of God's good creation.



Now you may disagree with me, but it seems that the world has absolutely no defenses against the devil. What can politics, the voices of people, and the military do against a force that they cannot see? What about intellectuals, spiritualists, and philosophers? What can they do when an enemy as sharp as Satan comes at their door steps? Worst of all, how will these people recognize Satan or his demons when they come?

Let's also consider the fact that these beings are so powerful that they can influence things on a whole 'nother dimension. The supernatural (them) can influence the natural (us). It doesn't work the other way around. Our "natural" can't really do much of anything to the "supernatural." These "things" are waiting for an opportunity to vent their anger out on us. They desire to hurt us, to see us suffer in light of the cross, and they are always there, around us. It's like some invisible black beast looming over all of us, checking our every move, waiting for even the smallest sliver of room so that it can squeeze a finger into our lives. They hate us, they want to see us in pain. Their ultimate goal is to lead us away from the God of life. If you are saved, then I think it's safe to say that their goals change. Concerning a saved person, they will want to make you as ineffective as possible.

The Bible says', "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world."
~1 Peter 5:8-9

Thankfully there is a loophole. God has blocked Satan and his demons to only go so far.

In the first chapter in the book of Job, Satan desires to hurt Job, a man God called righteous. You'll note that God allows Satan to hurt Job, however, God only allows Satan to go so far. God limits Satan's ability to do harm. In other words, there is no God Vs. Satan. From the very beginning Satan lost. Lucifer has always been in submission to God, even though he hates God.

As I've said, the world has absolutely no defense against this supernatural power of the devil. The only thing that is helpful is the Word of God. Jesus Christ, God, is the only force that holds everything together. With out God sustaining everything, you can only imagine the rampant destruction that Satan would inflict.

Satan rules, absolutely except where God's providence restrains him, everywhere. No body knows what mercy they are enjoying when the sun comes up.
