We will now examine Satan’s effect and influence on human beings (usually carried out by his demons/devils) using three sets of facts: 1) his attacks on people are manifested in a wide variety of ways; 2) the effects of these attacks on people vary widely; 3) the outward manifestation of demonic influence does not necessarily […]

Satan’s fallen angels do not like to live outside a body, either human or animal. In most cases they seek human beings in which to live as the Bible tells us in many places. In Matthew 8:28-32/Luke 8:26-33 we find statements that shows us how demonic spirits–“devils”–do not like to be cast out of their […]

Satan manipulates individuals and through them controls the social, political, economic and spiritual life of nations. Let us examine one way in which he and his demons manipulate individuals into believing a lie. How many times have we read or heard about someone in a life or death situation seeing an angel, hearing a heavenly […]

As stated earlier, Satan and his demons/devils/fallen angels’ influence on mankind can take three forms–deception, manipulation or possession–based on the degree of control they exert over the lives of those they attack. For the unchurched, as well as many in professing Christendom, the idea that unseen spiritual forces exist is laughable. That they not only […]

Satan has deceived the whole world (Rev. 12:9). And the whole world, with rare exception, does not know what is happening. One of the areas of Satan’s influence in the personal and private lives of the masses involves the spirit world. Having lived in the world where he rules for many years, I can address […]

The “Last Days” began on the Day of Pentecost 31 A.D. Since that time God’s warnings to His people concerning the end of the world as we know it have been in effect. As the Apostle Paul told Timothy, “in the last days perilous time shall come” (2 Tim. 3:1). This tells us that ever […]

In Revelation 12:9 the Lord tells us that the devil “deceiveth the whole world.” This, together with the fact that we have “all sinned and come short of the glory of God,” (Rom. 3:23) proves that Satan has tremendous power to manipulate mankind. Contrary to popular opinion, he can only influence us; he cannot force […]

God goes to great lengths to warn His people about the reality and power of Satan by using such Scriptures as Galatians 2:4/Jude 1:4 and 2 Corinthians 11:3,4,13,14. In the latter we are given the most telling description of him–he disguises himself as an “angel of light.” Recall that Jesus described Himself and His disciples […]

Though it is hard to believe, especially by religious people, GOD IS NOT IN CONTROL OF THE WORLD–Satan is. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself described him as “the prince of this world” in John 12:31 and 14:30. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit the Apostle Paul called him “the god of this world”(2 Cor.
