EVIL SPIRITS
CHRISTIANITY
OASIS
HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH THIS EVIL
SPIRITS STUDY. MANY HAVE HEARD OF EVIL SPIRITS BUT ARE NOT AWARE OF
THE IMPACT THAT EVIL SPIRITS HAVE ON THEIR LIVES AND THE EVIL SPIRITS ROLE IN
THE END TIMES. ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, THERE ARE SPIRITS BOTH GOOD AND EVIL
SPIRITS ALL AROUND US. IN THE EVIL DAYS OF THE END TIMES, IT IS A GIVEN THAT
THERE WILL BE EVIL SPIRITS EVERYWHERE. IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO BE AWARE OF
WHO AND WHAT THESE ENTITIES ARE.
LET'S SEEK AND FIND THE TRUTH OF EVIL SPIRITS, SHALL WE?
SIGN OF THE END TIMES BIBLE STUDY
PROPHECY
EVIL SPIRITS ... JUST THE SOUND OF THE
WORD CAN BRING A TINGLE TO YOUR SPINE. BUT WE ARE TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE
THAT SPIRITS BOTH GOOD AND BAD ARE ALL AROUND US. IN FACT GOD IS A
SPIRIT
|
JOHN 4:24
God is a Spirit:
and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in TRUTH. |
BUT THIS STUDY IS ABOUT EVIL SPIRITS AND
SPIRITS IN GENERAL
SO LET US PROCEED.
IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE, THAT BEFORE THE FLOOD OF NOAH'S TIME, THERE WERE
SOME ANGELS IN HEAVEN THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND HAD CHILDREN WITH
HUMAN WOMEN AND MIXED THE ANGELIC WITH HUMANITY.
|
GENESIS 6:1-6
And it came to pass, when men began
to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
That the sons of God (Angels) saw the daughters of men that they were
fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said,
My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet
his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the
earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in
unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became
mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of
the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the
LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart |
ACCORDING TO THE
BOOK OF ENOCH, THE OFFSPRING WERE
GIANTS. THESE FALLEN ANGELS TAUGHT THE WORLD VANITY, PRIDE AND TAUGHT THEM HOW
TO BUILD WEAPONS AND EVERY FOUL THING.
GOD SAW THAT THE WORLD WAS
FOUL AFTER THIS AND FLOODED THE WORLD. HE TOOK THE FALLEN ANGELS AND PLACED THEM
IN THE PIT. THE CHILDREN OF THE FALLEN ANGELS AND WOMEN ARE NOW THESE EVIL
SPIRITS THAT WE WILL BE STUDYING. SATAN NOW USES THESE SPIRITS TO DO HIS
WILL. GOD ALSO USED THESE EVIL SPIRITS TO PUNISH SINNERS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
AND MAY STILL DO SO.
THE INTENT OF THESE EVIL
SPIRITS IS TO HAVE YOU CHOOSE SATAN OVER GOD. THEY SEEK TO FIND A SUITABLE
DWELLING PLACE INSIDE HUMANS. THEY ARE IN SPIRIT FORM NOW AND HAVE NO WAY TO
EXPERIENCE FLESH UNLESS THEY INHABIT A BODY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY MUST GET
THE SOUL OF THE BODY TO AGREE WITHOUT ACTUALLY LETTING THEM KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
DOING. SO THEY GIVE THOUGHTS OF LUST, FEAR, ANGER, PRIDE, GREED OR WHATEVER
THEIR DESIRE IS AND TRY AND GET YOU HOOKED ON IT SO THEY CAN DWELL IN YOU. SOON,
THEY TAKE OVER AND IT IS NO LONGER THE PERSON THEY HAVE POSSESSED THAT IS
IN CONTROL.
WE WILL BE SEARCHING THE
BIBLE FOR EVIDENCE OF HOW WE CAN OVERCOME THESE EVIL SPIRITS AS TO DEFEND
OURSELVES AGAINST THEIR INTENT.
BUCKLE UP ...
SPIRIT LAWS IN THE BIBLE
THERE ARE BOTH GOOD AND BAD SPIRITS
BOTH GOD AND SATAN USE THE BAD SPIRITS AS YOU WILL SEE ...

night: and he said, I pray thee, divine
unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring
me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. And the woman said unto him, Behold,
thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar
spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare
for my life, to cause me to die? And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As
the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. Then
said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said,
Bring me up Samuel.
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake
to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. And the king said
unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou?
And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods
ascending out of the earth. And he said
unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is
covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped
with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted
me, to bring me up?

spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil
concerning thee |

THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF HOW IT IS COMMON
KNOWLEDGE
THAT THESE SPIRITS EXIST. I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH ON THE
TOPIC OF SPIRITS ENTERING HUMANS A BIT CUZ IT IS A LIL CONFUSING SO LET'S USE THE
BIBLE TO BRING PEACE AND FIND TRUTH.
EXORCISM
The
term "Exorcism" means to remove a spirit from someone who is possessed by said
spirit. It began back when Jesus was ousting spirits
from those possessed with devils. Even His Apostles were given the gift but oft
times had trouble
with some, because they lacked
PRAYER
and
FASTING.
In the
Bible, 7 men that tried to exorcise a demon were surprised when the demon said "
Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you. The next thing the 7 men knew was
they were getting physically beaten by the entity.
|
ACTS 19:13-17
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them
which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by
Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and
chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus
I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was
leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled
out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and
Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the
Lord Jesus was magnified. |
SO PLAYING EXORCIST IS DANGEROUS BUSINESS.
Catholic
priests still practice this procedure.
They
even have a manual with steps on how to do so.
The
number one law is not to actually communicate with the entity itself if and when
it attempts to speak with you.
The movie
Exorcist
is based on true story but it was a teenage boy.
It took 28 days of prayer
to remove it.
THERE
ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER STORIES LIKE THIS.
THERE
WILL BE EVEN MORE IN THE END TIMES.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME ... UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND PREPARED.
ONE MORE IMPORTANT MATTER ...
Many feel that because satan is
the enemy of our souls that we can go around cussing and cursing him.
The Bible is CLEAR on this matter:
|
2 Peter 2:10-11
But chiefly them that
walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government.
Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of
dignities. Whereas angels, which
are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before
the Lord. |
The wording of these
scriptures doesn't reflect the resistance of mankind against human government
... But rather mankind speaking against supernatural powers and authority. This
is proven when it says ANGELS fear to bring accusation against these
"dignities" ... Angels certainly do not fear to bring accusation against a
human. Furthermore, the word "dignities" comes from the Greek word "doxa," which
is translated as being "supernatural powers" ...
The book of Jude further
explains ...
|
Jude
1:8-9
Likewise also these filthy
dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Yet Michael the archangel, when
contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst
not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. |
Our enemy, satan is of such
high authority that even Michael "durst not bring against him a railing
accusation but simply said "the Lord rebuke you" ...
If even Michael ...
An Archangel chooses not accuse satan
of being this or that but only says "The Lord rebuke thee" ... Shouldn't we as
mere humans follow suit?
Our enemy of the soul ... Satan
was chosen by God to be an anointed cherub ...
|
Ezekiel 28:14
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast
upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the
stones of fire. |
This "Anointing" is where GOD chooses a person
to be in authority.
Saul was anointed king. However, like satan, he
disobeyed God. This caused God to take away his Holy Spirit and give him an evil
spirit.
|
1 SAMUEL 16:14
But the Spirit of the LORD
departed from Saul, and an evil spirit
from the LORD troubled him. |
Only
David's music could make this evil spirit leave him. Yet, years later in
jealousy ... Saul chased David in the wilderness seeking to kill him. It turned
out David was given opportunities to kill King Saul during these chasings, but
DID NOT. When asked why David did not kill King Saul when he had the
opportunity David said because Saul was anointed by GOD and he would in no way
do him any harm.
|
1 SAMUEL 24:6
And he said unto his men, The
LORD forbid
that I should do this thing unto my master,
the LORD's anointed,
to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the
anointed of the LORD. |
Let us ALL choose to do as
Michael and David chose to do and NOT curse or bring railing accusation against
ANY supernatural powers or those chosen by
God in the past, but rather let God be
judge.
After all, God created satan which means satan belongs to God. The Bible is
clear that God IS allowing satan to finish out his "term" until he is thrown
into the pit for 1000 years and then into the Lake of Fire ... Forever.
Here is wisdom …
|
Ephesians 5:19-23
Now the WORKS OF THE FLESH are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft,
HATRED, variance, emulations, WRATH, STRIFE, seditions, heresies, Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God. But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law. |
As you can see … Anger, hatred,
wrath, etc. are fruits of the FLESH and NOT the Holy Spirit …
|
Ephesians 5:9-10
For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and TRUTH.
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. |
I HOPE I
HAVE PROVEN THE TRUTH OF WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE UNTO OUR LORD. THE NEXT TIME YOU ARE
LURED AWAY BY OUR ENEMY OF THE SOUL AND AFTERWARD ARE DISGUSTED WITH YOURSELF
FOR FALLING VICTIM YET AGAIN, DON'T GO GET MAD ... GO GET JESUS !!!
REMOVING
EVIL SPIRITS LAWS
THE BIBLE GIVES US LAWS BY WHICH TO FREE
YOURSELF FROM THESE ENTITIES.
LET'S DO A LIL SEARCHING, SHALL WE?
More than one spirit can occupy man.
|
Matthew 8:28-32
And when He was come to the other side into
the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two possessed with devils, coming
out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And,
behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of
God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was a good
way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought Him,
saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And He
said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of
swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place
into the sea, and perished in the waters. |
Jesus gave His Apostles power over unclean spirits to cast them
out.
|
Matthew 10:1
And when He had called unto Him
His twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast
them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. |
Cast out devils free of charge.
|
Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely
give. |
When an evil spirit is removed, it seeks another
body to control
|
Matthew
12:43
When the unclean spirit is gone out of
a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he
saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come,
he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with
himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and
dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so
shall it be also unto this wicked generation |
Certain evil spirits can't be removed without much prayer -
fasting.
|
Matthew 17:20-21
And Jesus said unto them, Because
of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain
of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. |
Some spirits speak out and can be loud upon exit.
|
Mark 1:23-26
And there was in their synagogue a man
with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to
do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee
who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy
peace, and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried
with a loud voice, he came out of him |
When contending with a spirit rebuke - order it to come out and return no more.
In this story, it shows you need NOT the FAITH of the subject but another's
FAITH.
|
Mark 9:17-25
And one of the multitude answered and
said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a
dumb spirit;
And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with
his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast
him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless
generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him
unto me. And they brought him unto Him: and when he saw him, straightway the
spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And He asked
his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a
child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to
destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst
believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
And straightway the father of the child
cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe;
help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together,
He rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge
thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. |
Even non-apostles removed evil spirits in Jesus' name.
|
Mark 9:38-41
And John answered Him, saying,
Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not
us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid
him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can
lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because
ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. |
To cast out devils you need to believe.
|
Mark 16:17
And these signs shall follow them
that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; |
Jesus gives you power over enemies and nothing shall hurt you but rejoice not that spirits
are subject unto you but rather you are Jesus' and written in book.
|
Luke 10:19-20
Behold,
I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,
that the spirits are subject unto you;
but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven |
Even handkerchiefs of Paul could remove evil spirits.
|
Acts 19:11-12
And God wrought special miracles by the
hands of Paul: So that from his body were
brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons,
and the diseases departed from them, and
the evil spirits went out of them. |
When
contending with the devil do not bring accusations but say the Lord rebuke thee.
|
Jude 1:9
Yet Michael the Archangel,
when contending with the devil
he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke
thee |
So what have we learned? We
need the discernment of the Holy Spirit. We need to determine the DEPTH of the
possession. Whether they are just being tormented or if the spirit has actually
occupied the person's body. We need to know if GOD placed the spirit upon the
person or if it is an occupation.
THE NUMBER ONE THING TO
REMEMBER IS THAT IT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE. A BATTLE BETWEEN GOD AND THE DEVIL. WE
ARE BUT INSTRUMENTS AND IT IS HIM WITHIN US THAT PERFORMS THE MIRACLE OF
REMOVING EVIL SPIRITS.
|
Ephesians 6:10-20
Put on Armour of God to resist
the devil.
We wrestle with principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness
in high places, not man. Have TRUTH, righteousness, Gospel of peace, Faith above
all, Salvation, Word of God is your sword, pray in Spirit, holy boldness, watch
for others.
