What Are Demons Like?<br /><br />INVISIBLE: They are invisible beings. Being incorporeal, they are neither visible nor tangible. There is no record in Scripture of their taking visible or tangible form.<br /><br />INDEPENDENT: They are personal beings. Personality and corporeality are not to be confused. God is spirit, but He is not corporeal. The same arguments used to prove the personality of God can also be used to demonstrate the personality of demons. They have the power of thought, speech, and of action (Acts 19:15-16).<br /><br />BODYLESS: They are incorporeal beings, but seem to have a strange passion to possess living organisms, whether human or animal. "When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'" (Luke 11:24).<br /><br />CONVINCED: They are believing beings. There are no atheists among them. "You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder' (James 2:19). They have faith, but not saving faith, for it does not lead them to repentance. <br /><br />SUPERNATURAL: They are powerful beings, and exercise superhuman strength. And they are also able to impart superhuman strength to their victims. "A certain man ... who was possessed with demons; ... He was bound with chains and shackles ... yet he would burst his fetters" (Luke 8:27,29). <br /><br />MALIGNANT: They are harmful beings; they have the power to inflict physical disabilities. "My son possessed with a spirit which makes him mute; and whenever it seizes him, it dashes him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth" (Mark 9:17-18) .<br /><br />Now, with that evil leader Satan, and all his countless demon hosts surrounding all we do each day, what does God’s Word tell us in Christ's church o do?<br /><br />I invite you to examine one of the most amazing chapters in the Bible, Acts 19. In this chapter, we find the key to enduring, powerful churches that God can use, and where Christ's glory is supreme. <br /><br />(ROK-32b)<br /><br />Join the LAND OF THE BOOK channel to get access to weekly video releases over the next year totaling 50+ EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS that feature weekly in-depth Bible Study lessons with John & Bonnie.
