I feel very few people in the church really know what ‘demons’ are - and perhaps just as few really want to study the right way to find out.
Oh, they talk about demons a lot – that’s for sure. Some claim to spot them under the chairs, behind the potted plant, on top of the microwave, and in a can of beer. Still others blame demons for heart attacks, appendicitis, acne, and excessive gas.
Demons can cause physical conditions and sicknesses, no doubt. The Bible is clear about that. But it's not right to ascribe nearly EVERY situation which is the result of living in a fallen world or in our mortal bodies as being the activity of a demon(s).
It’s popular these days to credit demons for our natural sins and vices. For example, I hear folks talking about ‘the demon of lust,’ the ‘demon of jealousy,’ or ‘the demon of running late.’ These ideas are nonsense. There is no Biblical basis for them.
The truth is most people in the church have zero clue about ‘who’ or ‘what’ demons are, and most Christian leaders aren’t helping this dilemma. They simply don't talk about it, or they default to the errant notion that ‘demons’ and ‘fallen angels’ are two terms for the same thing. They’re not.
The Bible teaches very clearly that God created the angels, and angels (both fallen and righteous) can manifest in various physical forms. They can interact with humanity across the full spectrum of physical activities like any ordinary person might – but that’s not the case with demons. God did not create demons the same way He created angels.
Jesus Christ himself describes demons as restless spirits, cursed to wander in arid, dry, waterless places. Demons are under constant distress and thirst (Matt. 12:43-44), and they are always seeking something or someone to occupy and manifest THROUGH.
Demons are intelligent, powerful, malevolent, and deceptive. They are playing a role in world affairs now, and that will sharply increase in times ahead.
Demons are also influencing many churches – prompting them to teach things which are not Biblical (1 Tim. 4:1) and causing folks to ‘fall away from the faith.’ Believe me – this is a MASSIVE problem these days!
This coming Sunday evening (2/8), I am teaching Lesson #10 on our series, “A Biblical View of the End Times,” and we will be comprehensively unpacking this issue of demons. The things I’ve stated here only scratch the surface.
We will learn a lot - including where demons came from, what they can and cannot do, and why their activities have spiked at various points in human history. We’ll examine the relationship between demons and technology, and what this might mean for specific end times issues.
Want to attend? It’d be great if you came! Please invite a friend or two if you do. We will meet at the Evangelical Free Church of Windsor, 700 Pine Drive, Windsor, CO, at 6PM. I expect the Q&A time after this upcoming session to be rather lively. You might consider sharing this post.
For those of you that are out-of-state or cannot attend for whatever reason, this Lesson #10 of “A Biblical View of the End Times” will be uploaded onto our YouTube channel about a week or so after I deliver it. Go to YouTube, and our channel is under ‘Solid Bread Community.’
Please consider subscribing to that channel and telling others about it. Here is that link for your convenience: https://www.youtube.com/
All the videos / audios from this current series can be found there, as well as for other series I have taught.
If you want the lesson notes for this series, or for any other series, go to www.solidbreadcommunity.com, click on the ‘Series’ tab, and it will direct you to that resource.
Many folks are using these notes for their own personal study, or in group studies they are a part of. I encourage that.
