Warfare for the Totally Afraid
Demons are variously caricatured as "naughty spirits" and even portrayed as "sources of wisdom" in some New Age teachings. The Bible however sees demons as truly evil and deceptive beings arrayed in rebellion against God and whose fate will be eternal torment imprisoned in a lake of fire. This latter view is far closer to the reality experienced by demon-possessed people and those who have dealt with demons in others.
A demon possessed person is often deeply deceived - thus
showing the deceptive nature of demons, a demon-possessed person often engages
in activities that display a lack of conscience toward others or a delight in
the evil and the bizarre. This betrays the evil, amoral and actively wicked
attitude of the demonic. A demon-possessed person is often angry at ministers,
scornful of Scripture, fearful of communion, mocking at morality and may hold
bizarre views of Christ. Christian praise and worship can cause strong negative
reactions. This displays the demonic hatred of God and rebellion toward His
legitimate authority over this Earth that He made. Those who deal with demons
sometimes find that demons are both aware of and terrified of the eternal fate
that awaits them. They believe in the lake of fire even if some theologians do
not. This article will look at what the Bible says about demons, their fate,
and how we can stop them hindering our Christian life.
