In this series - Invisible Spiritual Realm - we are revealing the activity of the invisible realm. Sadly, people go about their daily affairs without one thought about the invisible beings that surround them continually. But, it is the beings in the invisible realm who influence all the decisions we make -- oh, you thought those ideas were your own...nada!
At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon possessed...and the whole city was gathered together at the door...then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him...Mark 1:32-34. Jesus demonstrated to His followers the authority and power that He has imparted to them. What he just showed them was a normal day in the life of His followers. There is nothing to fear from our invisible enemy, for Jesus has empowered us to become overcomers while we live on the earth.
The Lord has established His throne in Heaven and His kingdom rules over all...bless the Lord you His angels who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word...bless the Lord, all you His hosts, you ministers of His, who do His pleasure...Psalm 103:19-21.
This reference depicts the Invisible Spiritual Realm very clearly. We see God's throne in His heavenly kingdom where He rules over everything. His invisible angels are called ministers who do His pleasure. These angels heed the voice of His word. What does this mean?
When a follower of Christ speaks the word of God - voice of His word - God's angels are energized to make that word come to pass in the earthly realm. If they don't hear the word of God spoken, they can't accomplish the pleasures of God toward His beloved human beings. Jesus said...the words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life...John 6:63. When we speak God's words, which are spirit, they will bring life - they will manifest the promises of God into our physical realm - His angels are commanded to make it happen.
We have been given authority in the Name of Jesus to enlist all of God's invisible beings, of His pure and holy realm, to help us accomplish His will during our earthly journey. But, if we have not acquire this spiritual knowledge, we will sadly rely on the flesh to help us overcome the demonic spiritual realm who relentlessly harass and torment us, desiring to kill, steal and destroy.
When we were last together I left you to ponder, what overtakes a human being to become so enraged that he/she enacts evil crimes against humanity -- rape, torture, death and destruction? Remember in in Blog #1 of this series where we leaned about the Man of Gadara who was possessed by a legion of demons, and had become insane? Jesus commanded the demons to leave the man and instantly he was set free from their possession and he became sane once again. Jesus has empowered us to do the same.
Satan and his hordes of demons haunt the earth looking for someone to possess and use to create damage to other human beings -- invoke hatred, revenge, chaos, anarchy, wars. These are symptoms in a human being that reveals who rules that person. Sadly, modern society has been educated intellectually regarding the psyche, refusing any credence to the spiritual realm. So demon possession is no longer recognized as a valid diagnosis.
Today, demon possession is identified as a neurosis -- anxieties, compulsions, obsessions, phobias. Or psychosis -- schizophrenia or manic-depressive. If you hear voices you are diagnosed -- multiple-personality disorder. Of course, there are many other diagnoses, but these few give us the idea how modern medicine deals with demon possession. What does modern medicine do for these poor souls? Usually they medicate the demons, and often institutionalize them. When we cast aside spiritual knowledge we are left with very limited intellectual knowledge and usually defeat.
How do evil spirits enter and possess human beings? The scriptures shed some light on the subject. If you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth...this wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic...for where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there...James 3:14-16.
James went on to explain...where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have...you murder and covet and cannot obtain...you fight and war...James 4:1-2.
All evil manifestations on the earth are perpetrated by Satan and his hordes -- whether by possession or oppression. When you see actions of human beings display fruits of lies, jealousy, envy, pride, rebellion, disobedience, unlawful, arrogance, hatred, grudges, revenge, destruction, murder, suicide, insults, ridicule, humiliation, voodoo, spells, hexes, lewd behavior, lust, pornography, abortion, you clearly know who is the authority behind these actions. Sin is the doorway to Satan in our lives. Until we deal with sin we will be subject to the wiles of the devil.
When I was about 14 years old I began to hear voices from the invisible realm. I had no idea that anyone lived in the invisible realm, so I assumed they were all in my head. What did the voices tell me? Stay tuned...
God's sheep question the doctrines of men...sheeple follow without question~~~
