The Doctrine of Satan From The Reality of Evil, Satan, and Demons
What He is Not Satan is not evil principle, an error
of the mortal mind, an abstract power, or a being with hoofs, horns, and
tail, holding a pitchfork and presiding over a lake of fire and the realm of
the dead. What He Is 1. Satan is a
real person (1 Chron. 21:1; Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7; Psalm 109:6; Zech. 3:1-2;
1 Peter 5:8-9; Rev. 12:7-12) 2. Jesus dealt
with him as with a person (Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13) 3. Jesus waged
war on Satan as on a person (Luke 13:16; Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8) 4. Christ taught
that Satan was a real person (Luke 10:18; Rev. 12:7-12; Rev. 13:1-4; Rev.
20:1-10) 5. The apostles
fought with Satan as with a real person (Ephes. 6:10-18; 1 Thes. 2:18; 1
Peter 5:8-9) 6. The apostles
warned people against a personal devil (Ephes. 4:27; Ephes. 6:11; James 4:7;
1 Peter 5:8-9) 7. Personal singular
pronouns are used of Satan (Matthew 4:7-11; Matthew 12:26; Luke 11:18) 8. Personal
statements are made to him (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7; Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel
28:11-17; Zech. 3:1-2; Matthew 4:1-10; Jude 1:9) 9. Personal
conversation is carried on with him (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7; Matthew 4:1-10;
Jude 1:9) 10. Personal
descriptions are given of him (Job 1:7; John 8:44 ;1 John 3:8) 11. The
personal names and titles that are given to him: (1) The Devil and Satan (Rev. 12:9) (2) Beelzebub (Matthew 10:25; Matthew
12:24) (3) Belial (2
Cor. 6:15) (4) The
adversary (1 Peter 5:8-9) (5) The dragon
(Rev. 12:3-12; Rev. 13:1-4; Rev. 20:1-3) (6) The serpent
(2 Cor. 11:3; Rev. 12:9) (7) The god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4) (8) The prince
of this world (John 12:31) (9) The prince
of the power of the air (Ephes. 2:1-3) (10) The
accuser of our brethren (Rev. 12:10) (11) The enemy
(Matthew 13:39) (12) The
tempter (Matthew 4:3) (13) The wicked
one (Matthew 13:19,38) (14) That
wicked one (1 John 5:18) 12. Personal acts and
attributes are ascribed to him (see The
Work of Satan, below.) 13. He
is an angel with a body, soul, and spirit like all other angels (Rev.
12:7-12) 14. He
has been seen with a body (1 Chron. 21:1; Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7; Psalm 109:6;
Zech. 3:1-2; Matthew 4:1-11; Rev. 20:1-3) 15. He
will be bound physically with a chain and cast into a prison (Rev. 20:1-3) 16. He has a heart (Isaiah 14:12-14);
pride (Ezekiel 28:17; 1 Tim. 3:6); speech (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7; Matthew
4:1-11); knowledge (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7; Matthew 4:1-11; Rev. 12:12); power
(Job 1:6-22; Job 2:1-7; Acts 10:38; Acts 26:18; 2 Thes. 2:8-12; Rev. 13:1-4);
desires (Luke 22:31); lusts (John 8:44; Ephes. 2:1-3); and many other
physical parts, soul passions, and spirit faculties 17. He
goes from place to place in a body like anyone else (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7;
Matthew 4:10-11; Mark 4:15) 18. He
has a kingdom (Mark 3:22-26) 19. He
has access to heaven (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-6; Rev. 12:9-12) 20. He
is a great celestial and terrestrial ruler (John 12:31; 2 Cor. 4:4; Ephes.
2:2; Ephes. 6:10-18) 21. He
rules the business, social, political, and religious activities of the
majority of mankind 22. His
realm is divided into organized principalities and powers in the heavenlies
(Daniel 10:12-11:1; Matthew 12:24-30; Ephes. 6:10-12) 23. His
subjects are fallen angels, fallen people, and demons of various kinds
(Matthew 25:41; John 8:44; James 2:19; 1 John 3:8-10; Rev. 12:7-12) 24. He is head of some
religions and is a leader in religious affairs (2 Cor. 11:14; 2 Cor. 2:9; 2
Cor. 3:9) The Origin of Satan Satan was created by Christ along with
other beings, principalities and powers in heaven and earth (Isa. 54:16; John
8:44; Col. 1:15-18; 1 John 3:8. Clearly, Satan was not created evil;
he rebelled then was judged (Ez 28:12-19; Isa.
14:12-14; Rev. 12:7-10, 12)). The word “Lucifer” is used in the King
James Version and it is only once. It is the only translation to use the name
of Lucifer. Isaiah 14:12, states: “How are thou fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning! How are
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” The Hebrew word translated “Lucifer” is
helel, from the root word of Halal, meaning
“to bear light.” However, the King
James Version translators did not use this word of the Hebrew language
because of the term not fitting into their understanding of what they had
been taught. So the translators took the name of
Lucifer from the Latin Vulgate translator Jerome, who was an Arian Monk. This is the man who translated the Bible in
the fourth century AD that is known to us today as the Latin Vulgate. In that time of Jerome’s life, there
was an enemy of Arianism named Lucifer, a bishop in the region of
Cagliari. Lucifer would come to the
gatherings of the Arian’s, disrupt their meetings and councils with the teaching
of Christ and God being one and being equal. Lucifer was an envoy of Pope Liberius, and was actually commissioned by the pope
to intervene with the emperor of Rome (Constantius II) who was also a member
of the Arian Brotherhood. Due to the vehement speeches by Lucifer
against the emperor and his false beliefs, as well as that of the Arian
Brotherhood, Jerome made a decision that would impact the world even
today. He surmised that he would make
the name of Lucifer so detestable, that no one would
want to name a child with this title. So
Jerome changed the writings of the Latin Vulgate and thus started the
inference that Lucifer was the original name of the devil. The Origin of Satan’s Demon Disciples Second Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6 explain,
“God did not spare even the angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, in
gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment…
And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of
authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept
them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of
judgment…” Now, quoting the book of Enoch
15:8—16:3: “And
now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called
evil spirits, upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil
spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, and
from the holy watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be
evil spirits upon the earth, and evil spirits they shall be called. [See Genesis
6:1-7] “As for the spirits of heaven, in
heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth were born
which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling. “And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy,
attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they
take no food but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offenses. And
these spirits shall rise up against the children of
men and against the women, because they
have proceeded from them. [See Gen. 6:1-7; Matt. 8:28-32; 12:43; 1 Peter
5:8.] “From the days of the slaughter and
destruction and death of the giants [Noah’s flood], from the
souls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgment—thus shall they destroy
until the day of the consummation, the great judgment in which the age shall be
consummated, over the Watchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly
consummated. [See Gen. 6:1-7; Matt.
28:41.] “And now unto the Watchers who have
sent thee to intercede for them, who had been aforetime in heaven, say to
them, ‘You have been in heaven but all the mysteries* had not yet been
revealed to you, and you knew worthless ones, and these in the hardness of
your hearts you have made know to the women, and through these mysteries
women and men work much evil on earth.’ Say to them therefore: ‘You have no peace.’” *
Job 4:18, 19; Matt. 24:36, 37; 1 Peter 1:12 Quoting
the Book of Jubilees 10:1-12: “And in the third
week of this jubilee the unclean demons began to lead astray the
children of the sons of Noah, and to make to err and destroy them. [Emphasis
added.] “And the sons of Noah came to Noah,
their father, and they told him concerning the demons who were leading astray
and blinding and slaying his sons' sons. And he [Noah] prayed before the Lord
his God, and said: 'God of the spirits of all flesh, who
hast shown mercy unto me and hast saved me and my sans from the waters of the
flood, and hast not caused me to perish as Thou didst the sons of perdition;
for Thy grace has been great towards me, and great has been Thy mercy to my
soul; let Thy grace be lift up upon my sons, and let not wicked spirits rule
over them lest they should destroy them from the earth. But do Thou bless me
and my sons, that we may increase and Multiply and
replenish the earth. “’And Thou knowest how Thy Watchers,
the fathers of these [evil] spirits, acted in my day: and as for these
spirits which are living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of
condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of thy servant,
my God; for these are malignant, and created in order to destroy. And let
them not rule over the spirits of the living; for Thou alone canst exercise
dominion over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the
righteous from henceforth and for evermore.' “And the Lord our God bade [commanded]
us to bind
all. “And the chief of the [evil] spirits, Mastema, came and said: 'Lord, Creator, let some of them
[evil spirits] remain before me, and let them harken to my voice, and do all
that I shall say unto them; for if some of them are not left to me, I shall
not be able to execute the power of my will on the sons of men; for these
[evil spirits] are for corruption and leading astray before my judgment, for
great is the wickedness of the sons of men.’
[Reference “God's Purpose in Allowing Satan to Continue” below] “And He [Lord, Creator] said: ‘Let the tenth part
of them remain before him, and let nine parts descend
into the place of condemnation…’ “…And we did according to all His
words: all the malignant evil ones we bound in the place of condemnation and a tenth part
of them we left that they might be subject before Satan on the earth.” God's Purpose in Allowing Satan to Continue 1. To use him in
afflicting believers to bring them to repentance (1 Cor. 5:1-6; 2 Cor.
2:5-11; Job 33:14-30) 2. To develop character
and faith in the believer (James 1:12; 1 Peter 1:7-13; 5:8-9; 2 Peter 1:4-9;
Jude 1:20-24) 3. To keep the
believer humble (2 Cor. 12:7) 4. To
demonstrate the power of God over the power of Satan (Mark 5. To provide a
conflict for believers that they may be rewarded through overcoming (1 John 6. To
purge people of possibility of failing in the eternal future (Rev. 21) Please note that the Book of Enoch
is quoted twice in our Bible; the Book of Enoch was in our Bible until
500-years ago; however, it was never removed from the Ethiopian Bible. And
the Book of Jubilees was removed from our Bible in the 1800s but it
was never removed from the Ethiopian Bible. “And the Truth shall set you
free.” “The
thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy…” Please also note that the Jews in New
Testament times knew the books of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees
(and Jasher) well as part of their Hebrew schooling. They clearly understood the origins and
realities of Satan’s demon disciples, as it is written in Ephesians 6:12. Satan Ruler of the Earth Realm Satan gained rulership over the earth
realm in Adam's day, usurping man's dominion by causing his
fall. His relationship to man through the ages has been that of a
usurper; and as long as people tolerate his dictatorship he will remain
subject to Satan. Each person can now, by the authority and power
of the gospel, defeat Satan and rid themselves of all demon
relationship. This is what God demands, and He has provided means
whereby it can be attained (Mark 16:17-18; Luke 10:19; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8;
Ephes. 6:10-18; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9). Satan's present
position as ruler of this sin-cursed world system and as the prince of this
world will be ended forever when Christ comes (Rev. 19-20), and man will
again inherit the earth and live on it forever. Introduction to Reversing Satan’s Rule Be strongly encouraged to review this excellent
introduction to reversing Satan’s rule by Pastor Tony Evans. The Work of Satan In general, his work is to oppose God
whenever possible. For this reason his work varies in some respects with the
purposes of God in different ages and dispensations. In Old Testament times
Satan's great work was to cause the fall of man, usurp his dominion, and try
to prevent the coming of the Messiah into the world in order to avert his own
defeat and pending doom. See context of Genesis 6:1-4. Note the following
regarding Satan and his activities: Twenty-six
Branches of Satan's Work: 1. He is the
deceiver of all mankind (2 Cor. 11:14; Rev. 12:9; Rev. 20:1-10). 2. He exercised the
power of death until Christ conquered death, hell, and the grave (Isa. 54:16;
Hebrews 2:14; Rev. 1:18). 3. He is the
leader of all sinners and backsliders of the human race (1 John 3:8-10; 1
Tim. 5:15), and all spirit rebels (Matthew 9:34; Ephes. 6:10-18). 4. He causes sickness, disease, and
physical and mental maladies in the human race
(Luke 13:16; Acts 10:38). 5. He takes
advantage of all adversities of people to further their rebellion and hold
them captive (2 Cor. 2:11; 1 Tim. 1:20; 1 Tim. 5:11-15). 6. He tempts
people (Mark 1:13; 1 Cor. 7:5). 7. He provokes
to sin (1 Chron. 21:1). 8. He causes
offense (Matthew 16:23). 9. He transforms
himself into an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14). 10. He resists others (Zech.
3:1-2). 11. He enters into union
with others against God (Luke 22:3; John 13:2). 12. He sends messengers to
defeat saints (2 Cor. 12:7). 13. He hinders the gospel
(Acts 13:10; 1 Thess. 2:18). 14. He steals the Word of
God from people lest they should believe it (Matthew 13:19; Luke 8:12). 15. He works miracles (2 Thess.
2:9). 16. He contends with
messengers of God, endeavoring to hold them captive (Daniel 10:12-21; Jude
1:9). 17. He hinders answers to
prayer (Daniel 10:12-21). 18. He sets snares for
people to fall into sin (1 Tim. 3:7; 2 Tim. 2:26). 19. He causes diversion and
blinds people to the gospel (2 Cor. 4:4). 20. He causes
double-mindedness (James 1:5-9). 21. He causes doubt and
unbelief (Genesis 3:4-5; Romans 14:23). 22. He causes darkness and
oppression (2 Cor. 4:4; 2 Peter 1:4-9). 23. He causes deadness and
weakness (Hebrews 6:1; Hebrews 9:14). 24. He causes delay and
compromise (Acts 24:25; Acts 26:28). 25. He causes divisions and
strife (1 Cor. 3:1-3; 1 Peter 5:8). 26. He makes war on the
believers (Ephes. 6:10-18). War on the Believers The greatest and most important work of
Satan among people now is to counterfeit the doctrines and experiences of God
as revealed in Scripture, in order to deceive saints (2 Cor. 11:14-15; Ephes.
6:10-18; 1 Tim. 4:1-7; Rev. 12:9-12). People are commanded to
prove and test all doctrines and experiences in the supernatural realm to see
if they are of God or of Satan (1 Cor. 2:12-16; Phil. 1:9-10; 1 Thess.
5:21-22; 1 John 4:1-6). It is certain that every religion,
doctrine, and experience among people cannot be of God. We must,
therefore, judge them by the written Word of God. The knowledge of
truth is the first essential in warfare against demons and
error. Great is the danger when believers accept anything and
everything in the realm of the supernatural as being from the Lord. The
fact that the believer is a child of God does not stop the devil from trying
in every conceivable way to imitate God to deceive him or
her. Believers are the ones Satan concentrates on and wars
against. There are definite ways outlined in
Scripture whereby one can detect what kind of spirit is seeking to control
him or her. But if one neglects to study the Word s/he may fall
prey to one of Satan's demons through ignorance. It must be
realized that ignorance is no guarantee against workings of evil
spirits. In fact, one of the chief means by which Satan and his
forces try to control people is through ignorance. It accounts for
their widespread success in getting people to accept their suggestions, doctrines,
ideas, leadings, and guidance. Among the guiding principles useful
in detecting good and evil spirits, and their operations and doctrines, the
outstanding ones are these: 1. Any doctrine
that denies or causes doubt and unbelief concerning anything taught in
Scripture is from Satan and his demons (1 Tim. 4:1-8). Any
religion denying the inspiration of the Bible; the reality of God as a person;
the virgin birth and divinity of Christ; His miraculous power and
supernatural ministry; the death, burial, physical resurrection, and physical
manifestation of Christ after His resurrection; the physical ascension to
heaven and coming again of Jesus Christ to set up a kingdom in the world
forever; the necessity of the new birth, cleansing from sin and living free
from sin; and the numerous other experiences of the Bible-any religion
denying these fundamental truths is yielding to "the spirit of
error," not "the spirit of truth" (1 John 4:1-6). 2. Any power,
influence, or doctrine that causes one to become passive, inactive,
submissive, and unresisting to the workings of supernatural spirits seeking
to control his life contrary to the teachings of Scripture, is not of God. The
Bible says, "Resist the devil" (James 4:7; 1 Peter
5:8-9). An inclination to approve sin and ignore the necessity of
repentance and holy living, and a tendency to remove the penalty for sin or
doubt that hell is literal and eternal, is promoted by Satan, not
God. Just as God requires truth in the mind for the true working
of the Holy Spirit in a life, so the devil requires the believing of lies in
the minds of people to hold them in bondage. See 1 Cor. 6:9-11; 1
Cor. 10:12-13; 2 Cor. 11:3-15; Galatians 5:19-21; 6:7-8; Ephes. 6:10-18; 1
Tim. 4:1-9; James 1:22; 2:10. 3. The Holy
Spirit can be recognized by the fruit of His Spirit: love, it’s joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and a firm grip*
(Galatians 5:22-23). Six Earmarks of a Manifestation of the Holy Spirit (1) A Christ-like spirit of love,
patience, and faith in God (2) Soberness and keenness of spirit
vision (3) Deep humility of heart and meekness
of spirit, with a lion-like courage against sin, sickness, poverty, disease,
discouragement, failure, and everything else causing defeat in the Christian
life (4) Absolute clearness of the mental
faculties and intelligent action in carrying out Biblical instructions
concerning known duty and personal life as a Christian (5) Freedom from faultfinding,
surmising, whispering, and slander; and freedom from all the works of the
flesh listed in Mark 7:19-21; Romans 1:24-32; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Galatians
5:19-21; Col. 3:5-10 (6) Freedom from any ignorance
concerning the divine will. When one is moved upon to act quickly and
urgently without knowing whether the act will glorify God or not, it is
better to wait and pray until it is clear beyond all doubt that God approves
such action. Always remember that 1 John 4:1 commands: "Try the spirits
whether they are of God." The Character of Satan The names and various descriptions of
Satan reveal his true character as follows: 1. He is the
enemy of all good and the accuser of God and people (Matt. 13:28; Rev.
12:9-12). 2. The
father of lies (John 8:44) 3. A
murderer (John 8:44) 4. A sower of discord (Matt. 13:39) 5. An
adversary (1 Peter 5:8-9) 6. The first
sinner, the first self-gratifier, and the first to wage war against all
society (John 8:44; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 12:9; Rev. 20:7-10) 7. He is cunning
(2 Cor. 2:11; 2 Cor. 11:14; Ephes. 6:11-12). 8. Wicked (Matt.
13:18,38; John 8:44; 1 John 3:8; 5:18) 9. Malignant
(Luke 8:12; 2 Cor. 4:4; 1 Peter 5:8-9) 10. Cowardly (James
4:7) 11. Tempter (Matt.
4:1-11) 12. Thief (John 10:10) 13. Without principle in
taking advantage of people in their weak moments (Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 22:40; 2
Cor. 2:11; 2 Cor. 11:3); in tempting people after great success (John 6:15);
in suggesting the use of right things in a wrong way and at a wrong time
(Matt. 4:1-11); in slandering God to people and people to God (Gen. 3:1-10;
Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7); in appearing as an angel of light to deceive (2 Cor.
11:14); and in deluding his followers as to their eternal end (2 Thess.
2:8-12; Rev. 12:9; Rev. 20:7-10) 14. Presumptuous (Job
1:6-12; Job 2:1-7) 15. Trapping (2 Tim. 2:26) 16. Deceitful (2 Cor. 11:14;
Rev. 12:9; Rev. 20:10) 17. Fierce and cruel (Luke
8:29; Luke 9:39; 1 Peter 5:8-9) 18. Aggressive (Ephes.
4:27; 6:10-18; 1 Peter 5:8-9) Satan has never been known to be
merciful, good, loving, kind, gentle, pitiful, patient, or to have any of the
graces of God since he became the enemy of God and people. In Scripture he is
compared to a fowler (Psalm 91:3); fowl (Matt. 13:4,19); a wolf (John 10:12);
a destroyer (John 10:10); a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8-9); a serpent (Rev.
12:9; Rev. 20:3); and a dragon (Rev. 12:3-12). The Methods of Satan 1. He uses every
conceivable means to hold people in subjection to himself and keep them from
turning to God. If he fails in this, he tries to kill the believer's
testimony and ruin his influence for God. 2. If one falls
he tries to make him stay fallen or commit suicide. He endeavors to cause
people to end their lives by insisting it is the best way out; but he hides
the true fact that this will be only the beginning of real torment in eternal
hell. 3. Satan tries
to get others in a lukewarm condition and, if he succeeds, urges them to stay
in that condition so that God will cut them off in the end. 4. He dares
people to do many things which they would not do under ordinary
circumstances; and men are foolish enough to think they are not brave if they
do not accept his dares. 5. Makes people
think they are missing everything in life if they do not go into all kinds of
sins which, in the end, will damn their souls. 6. He emphasizes
sin and sinful pleasures as innocent enjoyment. 7. He stirs
unholy passions in men and women, causing them to throw away all restraint
and live a life of partying. 8. He tries to make
people think there is no joy in serving the Lord. This is one of his greatest
errors. Serving Christ and winning souls pays the greatest dividends and
offers the greatest pleasures known. 9. He preaches
to the diligent in business that he needs to invest all his time in getting
rich before serving the Lord. The fact is that if one will truly serve the
Lord, he can be abundantly prosperous with God's help. 10. He urges churches and
their leaders to make religion a paying proposition by appealing to the rich
and influential through lowering the standards of holy living, making
salvation easy for all, and compromising essentials of the faith; and by
feeding the sheep messages on current events and book reviews instead of the
infallible Word of God. The Doom of Satan 1. Predicted in
Genesis 3:15 2. Accomplished: (1) At the first advent (John 19:30;
Col. 2:14-17) (2) At the second advent (Rev. 20:1-3) (3) At the battle of Gog and Magog (Rev.
20:7-10) The purpose of the thousand-year reign
of Christ after the second coming will be to suppress all rebellion (1 Cor.
15:24-28); and the final defeat of Satan and his hosts at the end of the
Millennium must be accomplished before the earth is entirely rid of
rebels. They must be confined to the lake of fire forever before
rebellion is finally and eternally overcome. The earth will be
purified by fire and made perfect the second time; and the kingdom of God
will be universal over all free moral agents, as it was before rebellion was
started by Satan and Adam. Duty of Followers of Jesus Regarding
Satan When one is born again he enters the
realm of the supernatural and spiritual; s/he should begin a study of the
Bible to see what it teaches regarding how s/he should walk and conduct
themselves in spiritual warfare with Satan and demons. Saints are to: 1. Put on the
whole armor of God (Ephes. 6:11-18). 2. Know Satan's
devices (2 Cor. 2:11). 3. Give him no
place (Ephes. 4:27). 4. Resist him
(James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9). 5. Be sober and
vigilant lest he devour them (1 Peter 5:8-9). 6. Overcome him
by the Word (Matthew 4:1-11; 1 John 2:14). 7. Overcome him
by the blood of Christ and testimony (Rev. 12:11). 8. Overcome him
by Christ and His name (Ephes. 1:19-22; 2:6; 2 Cor. 2:15). 9. Overcome him
by birth of the Spirit and faith (1 John 2:29; 1 John 3:9; 1 John 5:1-4,18). 10. Overcome him by the Holy
Spirit (Romans 8:1-13; Galatians 5:15-26). There are demon spirits or groups of demon spirits behind the
health issues, unholy traits, and doctrinal errors known among humankind, not
excluding believers. They must be cast out or resisted in order to
get relief from them. Satanist-Turned-Evangelist,
John Ramiraz, Gives You an Inside Look into Satan’s Hidden Kingdom
Many people, including Christians, deny or minimize the devil’s power. John Ramiraz, as a third-ranked high priest of a satanic cult New York City, didn’t have that luxury. Satanist-turned-evangelist, John Ramiraz, gives you an inside look into Satan’s hidden kingdom. Enjoy his 14-minute video testimony here. And enjoy his 37-minute video testimony here. John is also now the author of several important books. Enjoy! Audio Study and Teaching by
Bible Teacher Derek Prince Enjoy these excellent audio studies and
teachings about our conflict with evil. Accomplished Bible teacher and author
Derek Prince reveals the
truth of our situation—that we are dealing with someone, not something. That
someone is Satan, who has a
rival kingdom in the heavens. Our enemies are persons without bodies; we
can’t see them, but we need to know how
to deal with them. Note that Derek's audio teachings are presented in convenient “bite-size” 10-minute segments. And Derek is also well-known as a pioneer in the important ministry recognized as “deliverance” prayer. “…Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness…” (2 Cor. 11:14-15) Understand evil and the occult
