Dealing With DEMONIC POSSESSION
In the Bible it is observed that the Lord delivered people from demons who induced insanity, deafness, muteness and infirmity (Mark 5:1-20, 9:17-29 & Luke 13:10-16). It’s clear from the scriptural evidence that being possessed (or oppressed) by an evil spirit can induce mental or physical ailments. Such demons are “spirits of infirmities,” which we’ll […]
Did Job CAUSE His Satanic Attacks Through Fear?
Way back in the ’80s I heard a minister claim that Job opened the door to the devil’s extraordinary attacks through fear (Job 1-2), which he argued is backed-up by this statement from Job: “What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me” Job 3:25 This is still taught today […]
Can a Person “Sell Their Soul” to the Devil?
You’ve no doubt seen a movie or read a story about a person selling his/her soul to the devil, like Ghost Rider or Faust.

Handing an Unrepentant Believer Over to Satan (?)
The apostle Paul gave a curious instruction to the Corinthian believers, an assembly that he started. It concerned a foolish man in their midst who was having sexual relations with his father’s wife. In other words, this was a practicing fornicator in the fellowship. The man was obviously confronted and corrected, but remained stubborn and […]
Are Angels Strictly Male… or Male AND Female?
The question we want to answer here is: Are there male and female angels or are they all male? Or are they genderless? This topic is somewhat interesting, but relatively inconsequential. For those interested, however, let’s honestly consider what the Bible says… Angels are consistently referred to in the Bible in the masculine sense (he, […]
Introduction to ANGELS
The human race seems to be fascinated by angels. Why else do we observe references to these spiritual beings almost everywhere? Angels are in our movies, our books, our songs, our lyrics, our conversations, our graveyards, our ornaments, our greeting cards, our décor and other forms of art, like paintings and album covers. Speaking of […]
The DEFEAT of Satan & His Losers
The most important thing you need to understand about the Enemy & his demonic minions is that they’re a defeated foe. They’re stripped of their authority and power as far as regenerated believers are concerned: And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he [Christ] made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the […]

How to Enlist the HELP OF ANGELS
Christ said, “Are you not aware that I can call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53). This shows that the Messiah could pray for the assistance of angels, if necessary. Like Jesus, believers can pray for the help of angels when […]
DON’T Overemphasize Demons and DON’T Worship Angels
Some ministers & Christians speak as if there’s a demon behind every bush. The problem with this is that they’re putting so much emphasis on a defeated foe that it becomes a veritable testimony to the devil & his filthy spirits. In essence, they’re praising the kingdom of darkness (!). But notice what the Bible […]

Why Are Both Lucifer and Christ Called the “MORNING STAR”?
Before his fall from Heaven (Luke 10:18), Satan is referred to in the Bible as “Lucifer, son of the morning” (Isaiah 14:12 KJV), a ruling spiritual being (paralleled in this context with the king of Babylon, Sennacherib). The word translated as “Lucifer” (in the King James Version) is helel (hay-LAYL); other English translations say “morning […]
Was There a “Talking Snake” in Genesis 3?
Unbelievers, and especially militant atheists, are known to ask this question for the purpose of mocking the Bible’s depiction of events in the Garden of Eden just before the fall of humanity. The scenario takes place in Genesis 3, but the creature wasn’t a snake in the sense that we understand the reptile. It […]
What did Jude mean about not daring to bring a Slanderous Accusation against the Devil?
The subject of the passage is established in verse 4: “godless men who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our sovereign and Lord.” That is, they deny Christ through their unrepentant immoral actions; see Titus 1:16.
Paul’s “Thorn” — What Was It?

Spirit of the World — What is It?
The same Greek word for “world” in 1 Corinthians 2:12 is also used in Ephesians 2:2. “The ruler of the air, the spirit who in now at work in those who are disobedient” would be satan and, by extension, his filthy spirits.
