Friend, satan and his host of demons are very organised.

They are in a battle and their aim is to overtake God.

It's funny to me that they would think this is possible but in their reality they are just prolonging their demise; they know it is coming because the Bible indicates they know.

"And all the devils besought Him (Jesus,) saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them." Mark 5:12 KJV

The demons preferred to enter the swine ( to continue to exist on the earth to influence mankind;) than to go to their fate, which they knew He had the Power to do to them.

Believers need to be fully united in warfare against them for they enter the bodies of our unsaved loved friends and family causing all kinds of havoc in lives.

The demonic army like to pit us against each other and do not want all mankind united. It is to their benefit; if they can divide us in the myriad ways in which they have done since man was given dominion of the earth.

Demons deceive, delude, steal, destroy and kill mankind. It is their sole focus to do so.

They just don't want us to know anything about God, and especially Jesus, Who they know is our Saviour.

Yes, they know Who Jesus Is. They know they are just existing in a probationary state. They know they are doomed to Hellfire; where their soul will burn eternally in consciousness. 

They won't be obliterated or in a "coma," unfeeling.

Jesus cast out demons to show us that demons can enter into us; to live and drive the heart and brain, to commit atrocities against each other and to our selves.

They can cause physical affliction; make us dumb as in Matthew 9:32, blind as in Matthew 12:22, and crippled as in Luke 13:11.

They torment and drive some to suicide!

But they are masters at teaching us false doctrines. They do this by using our vanity; our ego.

They love to show us other ways and means to get to "heaven."

They know how we love to be like Eve to find out a bit more than what God has said.

So they find ways to show us occult pleasures, so we will worship their king, satan.

Satan wants the worship that we give to God. He even offered things to Jesus as temptations if Jesus would bow down to him and worship him.

A demon possessed person is a follower of satan whether they are willing or not.

The demons roam around seeking footholds in people's lives; so they can steathily enter that one's spirit, and eventually take over the soul then the flesh.

Even believers who are not fervent in praise, prayer and worship, faith and belief in our King Jesus, can be fooled. A little here a little there leaves a window cracked for demonic workings in their soul.

And, when a believer becomes self-righteous and lukewarm he's a target for demons! 

We as believers, have the Holy Right because of Jesus' work at the Cross, to ask Him to reveal our sinful ways, and we can repent and be Holy Forgiven (by God) immediately. That is our Right.

For the believer, satan is a defeated foe. He has no power over us who have The Holy Blood covering us, to take us from Jesus's hand unless we willingly depart from Jesus.

Satan is defeated and all those who follow him are defeated. They are on the losing side.

Jesus defeated him at The Cross by God's Law.

He's just using up his alloted time, until Christ comes again as King Jesus, not the Lamb to be slain for the sins of mankind.

Friend, do you know if you are redeemed by a Holy God?

In this world there are only two options.

To be Redemed or to be unredeemed.

If you cannot say that The One and Only Lord Jesus Christ of God is your portion; you are unredeemed.

At the end of your life, God will know which you are.

You will not be able to choose to be on His side, one nanosecond after your soul leaves this body; so the Bible indicates.

This is because when you die, you will understand that everything you had heard about Jesus, while alive on the earth, is Truth.

You will see, that One Holy Almighty Powerful Omniscient, God is your Judge All-Knowing.

Satan will claim you, even if you resist, and cry out to God.

Isaiah 30:1  Woe to the rebellious children, saith The Lord, that take counsel, but not of  Me; and cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin.

Friend, every person knows it's own heart.

We know the evil ways, wicked tendencies, lying lips, envious and angry jealousies, unloving cold hearts, insane thoughts, sexual improprities, that lie deep seated in our hearts and mind towards others.

The pretending that many humans do to fool others; and all the nasty ways that they keep hidden from others; the hate and venom they wish to spew all over other people is almost more than they can control!

The wickedness of humans is beyone what most of us can fathom.

But God sees it all. He knows what's in each of our hearts; the good and the wicked.

Nothing is hid from Him. 

This is what we do with our Free Will. We continually sin against Him. We're the unloving, angry, hateful children who cause their parents continual problems, hardship worry and sorrow.

Yet you and I are still walking around this earth. We haven't been cut down and thrown into the fire like we should have. Like we have been expecting.

We know God is not thrilled with our foolishness, and the mayhem we cause in His Realms.

Why is that? 

We may be sitting in a jail cell but we are still not being punished by God. That actually is the Devil who caused you to get caught. He's laughing his head off. He's never true to you! He's a liar!

God allows that for your benefit. The time in jail is meant for you to be honest with your self; find remorse in that hardened heart; let His Love shine in your heart.

Yet through all these sinful ways, God asks us to know His Son. 

He understands our predicament. He knows who is behind our failings. 

It is satan, and God is going to hold him accountable, at a set time; in His Holy Law Calendar.

And during this time until satan's "set time," we have an opportunity to know the One; Whose Blood was shed at Calvary's Cross, for payment to God for our sins.

Yes, if we know Jesus as our Redeemer, Blood Sacrifice Saviour, we do not pay the Holy Price called for in God's Law.

Jesus paid it all for us if we will just say 'Thank You, Lord Jesus. I accept Your Holy Sacrifice for me. I am indebted to You and I will follow You, not satan."

Satan needs to be exposed!

He's the great deceiver of mankind and he steathily sneaks around seeking souls to claim as fodder for his evil domain.

He is having his biggest grab of souls at this moment in time.

Too many people are oblivious of God.

This is satan's doing. Satan's plans to overtake mankind are in full bloom.

He has dogged us for centuries and now we're so in love with all he has to offer in the way of entertainment; movies, tv, songs, sports, novels, even many of our churches, temples and places of worship; it's all infected with evil; we are enslaved by satan though the messages in them.

He titillates the mind and flesh and we willingly follow; when we do not know any better.

God's Word says we have "itching ears" and want to hear these things that stand against Him.

Satan has done a good job of maligning the Name of God; of putting down people who believe, of making God look weak, a liar, to the point that he even says there's no God; because God doesn't act the way satan has convinced us He should.

Satan has put scales over our eyes so we can't see God's hands at work in the world. 

In this way he has hardened our hearts towards Godly things. 

He has attacked our flesh causing us to be angry at God. He continues to fill the mind with thoughts that cause us harm to ourselves and others. He pulls our spirit down and tramples all over it trying to destroy it. He interferes with the blessings God sends to us; takes them for himself. He lures our children into vices. He sets himself up as head of families and rules with violence and acrimony.

There's no end to the evil he displays in full sight in our world; wars, tensions, bitter rivalry, corruption, bribery, false doctrines, slavery and on and on.

And he has convinced many; that all those evil doings and carrying-ons; are the work of God.

But God is not going to be goaded by satan, and when we choose to walk into satan's trap, we're really in a sticky situation as far as our soul is concerned; not to mention what satan is capable of doing to our flesh once we align ourselves with him.

Believers cannot be touched by satan without the approval of God; but he can willy-nilly, mess with a non believer; for that one has decided there is no God; so how can they receive anything from Him; if they do not believe?

As believers we must respond to any suffering with never blaming God; but kowing that He will be with us, and lead the Way out. We must trust and obey Him in order to be led out of the difficulties we find ourselves in.

We will be stronger in our faith for doing so; for there is discipline and victory; from the Lord for the believer when we stay the course, and get the Victory of overcoming a deepseated sin that has plagued us. 

God by His Spirit, trains us up into spiritual maturity, like a parent trains the child they love, to be a good person.

Satan has many strategies to destroy us.

But the good news is; satan can be overcome; resisted, and put under our feet.

First we need to detect his influences.

By The Holy Spirit we are convicted of sin. (Allow the heart to be convinced when sin is present.)

If we don't give the Spirit permission to be our Guide and Confidant, He will not interfere, and that will be our loss.

We must use our Free Will Gift from God very wisely.

First is to realise God is not a liar. 

In the battle of Good and evil who do you think is going to win?

It is God. 

Satan is going to be defeated and all will see his end. 

God intends we all know what the end result is of evil; that is why everyone will see satan's demise.

You and I will be there on that day in the Court of God's Law.

Friend, mankind is indebted to Jesus in many ways. 

He's our Creator. He is our Saviour. He is our Provider and Healer. He loves our soul with an agappe love; Holy and Pure.

He paid our debt that was owed to The Father.

He took all our debts for the sin we indulge in by satan's hand, and paid the Holy Price that was owed to The Father by us; because we choose to pair up with satan and commit sins against God's Holiness.

Why do men even think they are sinful; when so many do not believe in sin?

It's because we all have a conscience that inwardly knows in the innermost part of the heart and mind, when we have sinned. 

We are created in that way to know good from evil.

However the world teaches us otherwise and many of us fall into the world's (satan's) many evil traps.

Many don't even know that it is God's Law we have sinned against, but they still know what they have done, was wrong.

As we get older many begin to deny those thoughts of being a sinner before God, and by the influence of satan, think mankind is just a blob of flesh, beholden to no-one.

But just our thinking this way does not make it so, when God is Law Itself, and has given this life to us; not to be a sinner, but a soul reconnected to Him. 

Since Adam and Eve first sinned against God's one command, man has known when he has sinned. Sometimes in the moment we ignore the conviction but soon it will rise up to remind us of what we have done against God.

The Cross had to be; because God loves His Creation and we had gone astray by the influence of His adversary, satan. God knows who is behind all the evil that is in His world.

Look at the tiny bit of the story we know about God and Satan.

Satan was created by God to be a Covering Angel. He was beautiful and had a measure of Power and Influence in Heaven. Obviously satan too had a certain amount of Free Will from God as he was able to convince other angels to mutiny against The Father; in order to one day usurp God Himself, and take over the whole of The Creator's Kingdom.

In satan's own vanity (he was a beautiful being the Bible says) he became self-absorbed, and convinced himself that he could overthrow Almighty God if he could get a great army to follow him, and in doing so decrease God's Great multitude of "citizens of Heaven."

Ask yourself, "Is God able to create more citizens for His Heaven?" YES!

Ask yourself, " Is satan able to create more entities for his army?" NO.

Satan cannot create the but he has a ready supply here on earth, doesn't he?  The evil souls will all go to him. But what are they worth? And will they be enough. Will they fight against a God they know is more Powerful?

God will never be outnumbered. A mighty fight in the Heavenlies may happen but God will win. He's never going to lose.

Satan wanted God's Power; he wanted to be Him; he became jealous and spiteful of and to God.

And so it happened, that satan's rebellion against God, caused him to be cast out of Heaven because God is in charge of those He creates; allowed to have a certain time in a probationary sentencing, before the Great Punishment is carried out in Heaven; where all creation will be present to see God and His Power and Majesty.

Everyone will know Who He Is. All will fall to ther kness bowing before Him because even His biggest foe will know Who He Is and The Power He has over them as their Creator.

Satan was cast out of Heaven (God's Presence,) to the earth, and on the earth he was "going to and fro over the earth," so he told God when summoned to Him.

Satan is a defeated foe, even to those who willingly embrace him.

Satan can give no good thing to a human that is lasting, and for their soul's eternal benefit.

Satan is able to make people rich but it s a big price to pay to follow after him for fame and wealth.

God gives those things to who He chooses also.

We must be careful whom we serve for those riches.

Even demons know Who God Is, and tremble at the mention of His Name. They also know they are doomed to the pit of Hell.

Human souls have the opportunity to choose to turn from wicked ways and thoughts about God, and choose to seek God through His Son, so that before they die, they will know how they want to proceed into the future in the afterlife.

This is our soul's birthright. 

It is the Christian's Hope.

Choose now before death which way you will go.

Christians have a Hope for Eternal Life with our Good Lord, Jesus.

Many of us call Him; our Hope.

We trust Him explicitly. We know that He is called Trustworthy as well.

His Word is Trustworthy for it comes from Him. 

He is Trustworthy when we come to Him in confidence.

Believers place a lot of confidence in His Abilities; in His Power over all things; and His Law which is Perfect in every way.

We feel confident that with Him our soul will have life eternally, and we believe that we will not face the Judgment for sinners; even though in this flesh life we are sinful; because this is a God Promise mentioned in the Bible.

The Prophet Jeremiah gives us wisdom and advice in his writings because he lived in the 6th century BC - before Christ was born; and he was spoken to by God; which he faithfully recorded. 

He lived during a time when the tribes of Israel were being invaded and slaughtered. He saw the people's disregard for God's Law, and he saw what God would do to them during his lifetime.

He lived it.

God didn't abandon them completely; but many were chastised, and the unredeemable were torn down and destroyed. We find this in many instances in history of the world. God cleansing when whole societies have made a choice against Him. They have proved in their hearts they do not want to follow Him; be a child of His, nor do they want eternal life with Him. 

They prefer the darkside; and He abandons them to their choice. Satan claims them.

Jeremiah was a faithful servant to God and he was aware; from his reading of the Holy Scriptures; that Immanuel was to come. God was making a Way for Jesus to be born, and to set up a New Covenant, and Jeremiah was one of the Prophets God used to get His Message across to His chosen people, the Jews.

Jeremiah was burdened in his heart with love for God and His people; and tried to get the Jews to repent and turn to God - for many were not faithful and were living just like we are today; not even respectful of God's Existence; not thankful of what He was able to do in their midst in spite of their disbelief, and outright animosity towards Him.

They had grown cold. They knew God was their God; and had set them apart from other peoples, yet they still were living with their backs to Him, since the times of their forefathers even; so many generations of turning away from God.

Jeremiah was a priest in the land of Benjamin.

He received messages from the Lord and temple scribes wrote his utterances for him.

As a youth, God spoke to Jeremiah about warning the nations of Israel and the kingdoms of the world to repent of their unbelief in Him; and Jeremiah said that he told God, he was too young, and couldn't do the things that God had planned for him.

But God said to him as a loving Father, "Jeremiah, you will go wherever I send you, and speak whatever I tell you. Don't be afraid for I Am with you."

It was a difficult task; for Jeremiah was just human and very inexperienced in the ways of the world; for to speak for God, meant he was going to be met with derisive comments and even violence and anger.

Jeremiah went into the streets of Jerusalem and shouted God's Words to the people as God instructed him. There are many Scripture Verses that provide the descriptions of what God was seeing in His chosen people; and how He was warning them to turn from these wicked ways.

God called them out on all their sinful ways. He gave them a "good talking to" through His Prophet, Jeremiah. 

God said for Jeremiah to remind the people; in Jeremiah 11; that He made a Contract with the fathers of all the people of old, and that all those who do not heed it, will be cursed.

In this way, God makes a point of making a point in time; when He warns His people.

Jesus's birth, life, death, and resurrection and The Cross is our last reminder for all time; of what God has done for us, as far as Forgiveness of sins, of unbelief and of making a Way for us to be His children, heirs with His Son and Life Everlasting with Him. 

The New Covenant brought into being by Jesus is  a New Way for  all people to be reunited with Him. 

A genuine belief in His Son and saying faithful to that new belief, will gain anyone the Gift of Life with God; for eternity.

So in that last act of God for mankind's souls, we find Jesus is our Hope.

Even though Satan is very well organised in his own domain/kingdom of evil maliciousness against the earth, and all it's inhabitants; he can be overcome by believers with the Power of God.

By His Holy Spirit given to us by The Son, Jesus through His Work for The Godhead; on The Cross; where He paid for all sin, to make a Way for a New Covenant, to The Old Covenant with mankind; and our belief and faith in what He can do, we can be Victorious over satan.

In Ephesians 2:2 we learn that:  satan is the prince of the power of the air over the earth.

And in Peter 5:8 we hear: he prowls about like a roaring, hungry lion seeking whom he will devour.

Jesus in Matthew 12:24 calls satan: the ruler of the demons.

Apostle Paul describes satan in this way. Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and bood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

So we can see how orgaised satan actually is.

Satan is like the prisoner in the locked cell who manages to run his evil empire on the outside, from prison.

That's satan. 

God has banished him to the earth for this first part of his prison sentence, and he continues to show God how evil he is.  He has infiltrated every nook and cranny from the air over the earth and all that is on the earth. There is not going to be any asking God for forgiveness by satan. 

He's decided to overthrow God which was his first intent that landed him in prison to begin with. 

Satan does not want to be rehabilitated. He thinks he will overcome God before his next appearance before the Throne of Judgment where the next stage of his sentencing will be carried out. 

God has arranged for every entity in His Existence to see that; to include you and I.

Demons, the fallen angels who followed satan, and have no hope like satan of being rehabilitated, are the ones covering the world, entering bodies; sometimes many over it's lifetime; creating illness, crippling the host, tormenting the mind, driving them to early death by suicide.

Many are the ways they have devised to destroy our soul, so we do not have a chance to know who God really is; how much He loves us, What He has done for us; and even what our position is before God. 

They work in the way of deceit. They set out to deceive us. They show us false doctrines; they push idolatry of idols knowing God hates an idol worshipper. They tell thos of us who love God that He doesn't love us. They attack us and say, "That is God."

Satan desires to be worshipped and his demonic army works to create many religions, that man will fall under the spell of, knowing full well when mankind worships those entities, they will really be worshipping Satan. In this way they please their evil master.

Satan works in and through unsaved people. They are easy targets for him and his demon army. Christians pose harder targets but the demons  still give it their all to deceive them as well.

If we have unclean thoughts and we engage in unclean actions we give the demons a "foothold" to enter. They are always around us so they know when to strike.

This is how addictions occur. One drink, the demon is there; if it can't get the desired result, it invites other demons in to the body of that person and on and on until either the human turns to Jesus for Help, or it falls into the vice completely.

Believers have angels that fight off demons; but even we, if not alert and faifhful, can be deceived.

And that's just drinking of alcohol; there are many ways and roads to addictive behaviours. New drugs on the black market every year; new ways to kill us off in the throes of evil possession.

For the Christian believer we have this verse. 1John 4:4 Greater is He/ Jesus who is in you than he/satan who is in the world.

That verse and many others give us Hope and Strength to fight for our soul.

Jesus will Forgive a humbled repentant heart. It is He who measure the depth of faith and belief and responds in that way.
