Demonology
21. There are some Christians who fear the devil; is their attitude
right? |
No, it isn’t,
because a Christian cannot fear an enemy, or rather the enemy, that has been
overcome by all Christians. |
Did John
not say: “I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked
one” (1 John |
John says
that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4),
that is, the prince of this world, and therefore we are on the side of the
winners, on the side of the strongest ones because Jesus Christ, the Son of
God who destroyed him that had the power of death (that is, the devil), is in
us and with us. Jesus Christ has disarmed the devil and all the
principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing
over them by the cross (Col. 2:15), consequently Christians cannot be afraid
of the devil nor of the demons. |
We have
been born of God and the wicked one does not touch us. God has put a hedge
around us as He put it around Job, God has put His powerful and strong angels
around us, and they deliver us from the schemes of Satan, of his demons, and
of his ministers; therefore we are safe, we are secure as a young lion. All the
curses that wizards and witches try to put on us don’t frighten us at all,
because they can’t work, in that God keeps us from all harm, and He makes
those curses return over the heads of those who put them, yes, because the
Scripture states that if a man digs a pit, he will fall into it, if a man
rolls a stone, it will roll back on him (Proverbs 26:27 – NIV). |
With
regard to this topic, please read the testimony of Emmanuel Eni Amos (that
is, his book Delivered
from the powers of darkness), who tells us how when he was a
wizard he tried to hurt some Christians but with no success because of the
protection of God around those Christians. |
To Christ
Jesus, the one who overcame the devil, be the praise and the glory now and
forevermore. Amen. |
