Evil Spirits

Evil spirits ... Just the mention of them can give one a blood curdling chill. The Bible teaches us that spirits, both good and bad, are present around us. But what do we know of these evil spirits? Who were the evil spirits in the Bible, where did they come from and how do they affect you today? Let's find out in this Evil Spirits Bible study, shall we?

We will begin by sharing that even God's Angels are spirits.

Hebrews 1:13-14

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

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.

Pretty wild huh? You will definitely discover in this Biblical evil spirits Bible study, that some things happen in the world that are hard to fathom and even harder to accept. There are powers out there that are attempting to control us all; and they are directed by Satan. There is another more more powerful force out there who is protecting us from the enemy of your soul known as Satan; it is the Holy Spirit ... It is a contention for souls. This fight is called Spiritual Warfare, and believe it or not, you are smack dab in the middle of it and your own soul is one that is being sought after.

As we continue into this Biblical evil spirits Bible study journey into the mysterious realm of spirits, you will find that there was a man named Enoch who wrote about evil spirits long, long ago and the writings were passed down generation after generation.

But ... Is it Truth?

In fact, this Bible Scripture mentioning Enoch is one that may beg answer to the question ... What are evil spirits in the Bible?

Jude 1:14

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His Saints,

Let's take a little journey and learn more about what Enoch shared about Biblical Evil Spirits ...

The Bible doesn't tell us too much about Enoch. He was the seventh in the bloodline from Adam and he was the great granddad of Noah to give you an idea of the timing of his presence on Earth.

Genesis 5:21-24

21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Enoch walked with God and did not die but instead, was taken by God. The Apostle Paul confirms this:

Hebrews 11:5

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

The Book of Enoch has a lot of stories which agree with scripture when compared.

Here is one example:

Genesis 6:1-6

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

The Bible reveals 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.

Compared to Enoch, Chapters 6-16, you will find many similarities, but expounds a bit more as to what transpired after that.

Peter also confirms this:

2 Peter 2:4-5

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

In the writings of Enoch, from these fallen angels the world learned vanity, pride and instructed them how to build weapons and every foul thing.

God saw that the world was repulsive as a result, and flooded the world. He took the fallen angels and placed them in hell. The children (the giants) of the human women and the fallen angels are now these evil spirits.

Is it coincidence that Peter echoed the words in the Book of Enoch?

So, we cannot help but ask what became of the children of the fallen angels and women according to the book of Enoch:

Book of Enoch, Chapter 15, Verses 8-12

8 And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth,
9 and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin;
10 they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. {As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.}
11 And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless
12 hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.

Wow ... Now we know the answer to our question ... What are evil spirits in the Bible? You will see as we continue our Biblical evil spirits Bible study that many believe that Satan now uses these evil spirits to do his bidding.

Did you know that in the Old Testament, God also used these evil spirits to punish sinners ... And may still.

Judges 9:23

Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech.


1 Samuel 16:14

But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

Music from a soul of God, can cause evil spirits to depart.

1 Samuel 16:23

And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

Evil spirits may have names.

Mark 5:9

And He asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

Spirit of jealousy can come upon someone.

Numbers 5:14

And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

Lying spirits can cause men to lie.

1 Kings 22:22-23

22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.

The Spirit of infirmity can stay for years.

For one woman it lasted 18 agonizing years.

Luke 13:11

And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

A spirit of divination (predictor) can possess a person.

Acts 16:16

And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

The Lord can send a perverse spirit.

Isaiah 19:14

The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

A dumb spirit can possess a human.

Mark 9:17

And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

We find in our Biblical evil spirits Bible study adventure that an unclean spirit can possess a person.

Mark 1:23

And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

Devils can cause sickness in people.

Matthew 17:18

And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

Let's talk a little bit about spirits possessing humans.

You have to understand that evil spirits are in spirit form and have no way to physically feel anything unless they inhabit (or possess) a body. The problem is that they must get the soul of the body to consent without actually revealing their intent.

So they introduce thoughts of lust, fear, anger, pride, greed or whatever their need is and try and get their victim to desire it so they can reside inside their being. Soon, they "take possession" and it is no longer the victim that is in control. They become like a marionette if you will.

Evil spirits search for a suitable home inside humans.

Matthew 12:43-45

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 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.
45 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.

Not only humans ... Evil spirits can go from one body to another, even animals.

Matthew 8:31

So the devils besought Him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

Devils can and do possess humans. Here it is in scripture:

Matthew 9:32-33

32 As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
