Demon possession has two different but related manifestations, the first of which has recently come to light globally through the rise of ISIL. I will call it the ISIL Syndrome whose primary feature is extreme inhuman behavior toward other humans. This syndrome is characterized by such acts as blowing oneself up in order to kill […]

Demon possession takes two forms: moderate and extreme (my terms). Moderate demonic possession manifests itself in ways that is often accepted as a “gift from God.” Examples of this “gift” from on high are witchcraft, fortune telling, spirit writing, seance performing, necromancing (contact with the dead), etc. In the past, two people were world famous […]

No one is immune to Satanic influence. No one, not even the most religious of us, has an automatic resistance to demonic attack. Maintaining a oneness with God is man’s only protection against the onslaught of the devil and his demons as they do what they do, in most cases without their victims knowing what […]

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.

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 […]
