The Assault on Humanity Part 2

Review

We have man who was created to be God’s Image Bearers and partners ruling His creation.

We have a jealous Angelic being who wants to rule like God instead of man, known as Satan.

We have other Angelic beings known as the Sons of God who inter marry human women and bear children corrupting the seed and creating their own race.

We then have the Nephilim who is the offspring between the Sons of God and humans who were giants.

(their spirit is a demon, (lesser spiritual being) because the angels (sons of god left their domain, after they died in the flood their spirit remains here as daemons.)

The Assault on Humanity Part 3

What is the goal of the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”

John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

To deceive the hearers by twisting, perverting, and even catching away the message being shared.

How they do this

2 Corinthians 4:4 “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

1 Timothy 4:1–2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

Galatians 1:6–7 “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astrayfrom a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.”

Mark 4:15 “And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.”

N/T Ref.

In Mark 5:1-15 We have a man possessed by daemons and Jesus gave them leave into a Herd of pigs

Mary Magdalene in Lk 8:1-2 she had been healed from having 7

In Lk10:19-20 Jesus was speaking to the disciples and teaching them not to Rejoice that the spirits are subject to them but that their names were written in Heaven.

Paul in Acts 16: 16-18 cast a daemon out of a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain from fortune telling

In Rev. 16:13-14 these demonic spirits perform signs, an example could be like the one recorded in Exodus 7:10–12 where Aarons staff became a serpent and Pharaoh’s magicians turn their staffs into serpents by conjuring magic.

The Purpose of these references;

To bring to light that Ephesians 6:12 is real! “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” And to show we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus

Romans 8:31–39 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with Him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Closing

Numbers 6:24–26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”
