REAL EVIL SPIRITS
Welcome to our Christianity Oasis Bible Characters study program. This is our Real Evil Spirits study. The truth within this SON-derful Real Evil Spirits study will truly enhance your be-YOU-tiful Christian walk.
Evil spirits ... Just the sound of the
words can bring a tingle to your spine. In truth, the word spirit is
usually associated with evil.
But, we are taught in the Bible that
spirits, both good and bad ... are all around us.
Even God's angels are spirits.
Hebrews 1:14
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. |
In the world, in which we live, some things that
occur are hard to understand and even harder to believe. There is a force out
there that is attempting to overtake us all; it is
SATAN.
There is another force out there that is protecting us from him; it is the
HOLY SPIRIT
... It is a battle for souls. This battle is
called Spiritual Warfare, and like it or not ...
YOU are right in the middle of it and YOUR soul
is one that is being sought after.
To learn more about these evil
spirits, we must first find out
... Where these evil spirits
came from?
ACCORDING TO THE
BOOK OF ENOCH ...
There are some writings that
many claim was written by Enoch and the writings were passed down thru the
generations much like the Bible was.
But is that TRUTH?
It is the following Scripture in the Bible which
caused us to share certain aspects of the Book of Enoch with you.
Jude 1:14
And
Enoch also,
the seventh from Adam,
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord
cometh with ten thousands of his saints ... |
This Scripture suggests that Jude was referring to
writings of Enoch which gives validity to the claims that Enoch DID have
some type of writings.
Let's take a lil journey and
learn more about Enoch ...
The Bible tells us little of
this individual named Enoch. He was the seventh in the bloodline from Adam. He
was the great grandpa of Noah to give you an idea of the timing of his presence
on Earth.
Genesis 5:21-24
And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat
Methuselah: And Enoch
walked with God
after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and
begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch
were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch
walked with God: and he was not;
for God took him. |
Enoch walked with God and did
not die but was rather "taken by God."
This is confirmed by Paul.
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. |
Much of the book of Enoch has stories related to Biblical Scripture and some of
the Bible Scripture is in harmony with the words in the Book of Enoch.
For example this story ...
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. |
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.
In the
Book of Enoch
Chapters
6-16 ...
It speaks of the same story, but elaborates a lil more as to what happened next
...
It says the angels that chose to leave Heaven to have a union with human women
were sentenced to hell.
Peter says the same thing.
2
Peter 2:4-5
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; 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 ... |
According to the Book of Enoch ...
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 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?
Did Peter read the writings of Enoch as well?
Is it coincidence that Jude spoke of things Enoch said?
Or did someone read the Bible and ask themselves some of the questions we would
ask after reading about the angels and women and the children of this union and
create a book and claim that Enoch wrote the book long ago?
THAT IS THE QUESTION
We share the contents of this
book of Enoch only because it is
suggested by many to be a copy
of the authentic works. However
we do not suggest anyone adhere
to anything but that which is
written in god's word and only
share this as to not be
negligent in sharing something
that is available in the event
that it does possess truth.
YOU DECIDE WHAT TRUTH IS.
So, according to the book of Enoch ...
What became of the children of the Angels and women?
Book of Enoch
Chapter 15: 8-12 ...
And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall
be called
evil spirits upon the earth, 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; 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.] 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 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. |
Many believe that 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.
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. |
Evil spirits can be made to depart with music from a soul of God.
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. |
SPIRITS IN THE BIBLE
Some evil spirits 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 false prophecy.
1 Kings
22:22-23
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. 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. |
Spirit of infirmity can stay long periods of time.
One was in a woman
18 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. |
Spirits of divination (predictors) can possess a body.
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. |
Perverse spirit can be sent by Lord.
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. |
One can be possessed by a dumb spirit.
Mark 9:17
And one of the multitude answered
and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a
dumb spirit ... |
One can be
possessed by an unclean spirit.
Mark 1:23
And there was in their
synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;
and he cried out ... |
Devils can cause sickness in bodies they dwell in.
Matthew 17:18
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and
he
departed out of him:
and the child was cured from that very hour. |
POSSESSION
I would like to touch on the topic of spirits possessing humans.
These evil spirits 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.
These evil spirits seek to find a suitable dwelling place inside humans.
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. |
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 possess man.
Matthew 9:32-33
As they went out, behold, they
brought to Him a dumb man POSSESSED with a devil.
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen
in Israel. |
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.
They say
...
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 in real life, it was a teenage boy. It
took 28 days of prayer to remove the spirit.
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.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME
Another
thing that should not be tried at home is talking to the dead. Many like to use
various means by which to try and speak to the dead. This act opens Spiritual
doors you really do not want opened.
This is
VERY dangerous.
The Bible tells a story of this.
Spirits of dead can be raised by divining by familiar spirit.
1
Samuel 28:8-15
And Saul disguised himself, and put on
other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by
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? |
REMOVING
EVIL SPIRITS LAWS
No, it is best not to try and bring forth spirits or play exorcist like they
do in the movies. But, rather to follow God's Word. The Bible gives us laws by
which to free yourself from these entities.
Let's do a lil searching, shall we?
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. |
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. |
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. |
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
... |
FAITH IS SO ESSENTIAL ... That 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. |
And even the
shadow of Peter was believed to be able to heal.
Acts 5:15
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on
beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might
overshadow some of them. |
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. |
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. |
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.
ANOTHER 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 does not 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 does not bring against him a railing
accusation but simply said "the Lord rebuke you" ...
HIGH AUTHORITY?
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. |
If even Michael ...
An Archangel chooses not to accuse satan
of being this or that but only says "The Lord rebuke thee," ... Shouldn't we as
mere humans follow suit?
God created satan which means satan belongs to God.
And God anointed him just as he did King
Saul and King David.
And David made it clear that we are not to talk or act harshly
against God's anointed, whether it be past or present.
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.
1 Samuel 24:10
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to
day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared
thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the
LORD's anointed. |
2 Samuel 1:14
And David said unto him, How wast
thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed? |
Even
though David was to replace Saul as the anointed king, he knew better than to
talk against or harm someone God once anointed. And
that was a human that was anointed.
Satan was/is an anointed angel.
IT IS SIMPLE
The Bible is
clear that God IS allowing satan to finish out his "term" until he is thrown
into the pit for 1000 years.
After the End Times is over and Antichrist is
defeated by Jesus at Armageddon ... satan is cast into pit for 1000 years. This is during the Millennium.
Revelation 20:2
And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and
bound him a thousand years. |
And
when released after the 1000 years, satan will try again and then is cast into the Lake of Fire ... Forever.
Revelation 20:7-10
And when
the thousand years are expired,
Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together
to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the
breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
And the devil that deceived them was cast
into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are,
and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. |
Today ... satan knows that his time is short. He is going to do some
horrible things during the
End Times
through
antichrist.
HERE IS WISDOM
It is always best to watch your own fruits and the fruits of
others as to determine if they are being influenced by the enemy of our soul.
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. |
So to
hold these fruits within for ANYONE is NOT righteous.
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!!!
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. |
The only weapon of offense listed is the Word of God.
Don't be mad at satan ... Be glad for the grace of Jesus !!!
