Why is there basically no mention of the Devil in the Old Testament?
(699 Reads)

That is an excellent question, and we do our best to answer it in our book, Don't Blame God: A Biblical Answer to the Problem of Evil, Sin, and Suffering. The handful of references to Satan in the Old Testament (see Gen. 3:1, Job 1:6-13; 2:1-7; Isa. 14:12-20, and Ezek. 28:1-19) did not fully reveal the being who Jesus revealed in the New Testament. Looking back in light of the New Testament, we understand these verses as referring to him, but they were sufficiently cryptic so as to conceal much information about him. They recognized the existence of a spirit realm, and good and evil spirits, but had no idea of the two spiritual kingdoms at war with one another.

Binding/loosing [Matthew 16:19, 18:18]: Is it about demons/evil spirits?
(689 Reads)

|
|
|
“Binding” and “loosing” were common terms used by the Rabbis in biblical times. When the rabbis “bound” something, they “forbade” it, and when they “loosed” something, they “permitted” it. In spite of the fact that the terms were commonly used at the time of Christ, many Christians today are confused about what these terms mean...

The Armor of God - Stand! [Ephesians 6:10-14 Finally, be strong in the Lord...]

Standing for the Lord year after year might be the most difficult thing that a Christian can do. The annals of history are full of Christians who shone brilliantly for a short while and then faded away. The world is a cruel place, and it often happens that people are hurt to the point that they no longer have any desire to obey God in a meaningful way. That is one reason why the words of Ephesians 6, which focus on standing, are so powerful...

Let’s be honest with ourselves and with God. Let’s root Satan out of our homes and lives. Let’s not give him an inch, or he’ll become a ruler. Let’s cleanse the “temples” of our hearts, as well as the homes God has given us.

What does the Bible say about Manifestation of Discerning of Spirits: diakrisis
(2144 Reads)
|
|
|
|
The manifestation of discerning of spirits is God or the Lord Jesus Christ revealing to you information about the presence or non-presence of spirits (including both holy spirit or demons), and sometimes including the identity of demons present, whether or not you may cast them out, and providing the power to do it.

What Can We Learn from the Bible About the Devil?
(5980 Reads)
|
|
|
|
There is quite a bit of information that we can glean from the Bible about the Devil. Although there is a lot of folklore and legend about evil beings passed down through the ages in many cultures, we believe that God’s Word gives the best and most accurate information concerning him. We can learn about this spiritual creature from the Bible in two different manners...

Are Angels real?

|

As we will see, Scripture gives us ample information about the role of angels in helping people, primarily by providing protection, direction, and provision. There are about 275 references to angels in Scripture, and about 50 of those show angels helping people, almost always those who are believers. By the way, no verses show them sitting on clouds playing harps.

A War of Words

Since Genesis, Chapter Three, Satan’s primary target has been the Word of God. Realizing that the Word of God is composed of the words of God, the Devil has assaulted language in order to cripple the communication lines between God and man, and among men.

Fellowship Is Essential

In the category of how God relates to groups of people is something we will call “community faith,” that is, the mutual faith of individual Christians who associate with one another. Jesus alluded to this when he spoke of two or three believers gathered together in his name (Matt. 18:20). Every Christian knows...

The Urgency of Obedience

Although Satan is “the god of this age,” he does not have carte blanche to afflict God’s people. The more precisely we as believers obey God, the more difficult it is for the Devil to succeed in ruining our lives. Sections of Scripture like Psalm 91 make it plain that the effectiveness of God’s protection of us is in large part proportional to our “dwelling in the secret place of the Most High” and “abiding in the shadow of the Almighty.”

What Is The Key To Divine Intervention?

Now then, there are only two alternatives. Either God sometimes cannot intervene on our behalf, or He will not do so. There is only one place to find the will of God, and that is in His Word. There are many places in the Bible where we can look to see that God’s will is goodness, wholeness, health, and life for everyone, especially His own family.
