There are two things every man will always have to deal with in order to experience complete deliverance. These two things are, the flesh and evils spirits. These two are a source of major conflict for man. What is the flesh? The flesh is the rebellious nature in man and it came about when man sinned against God in the garden of Eden. We have to remember that Adam and Eve did not have any children until they sinned. Adam’s children were sadly born in rebellion and that is how we all have ended up with this same rebellious nature known as, the flesh. In Romans 7: 24 Paul explains this quagmire and says, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (KJV). The flesh or carnal nature places man in bondage. Man can not free himself from this thing by his own ability.Only God can deliver from that body of death, the flesh. Deliverance has been made possible through Jesus Christ. Yes, Jesus delivers from the body of death, the flesh. The second thing that man will also have to deal with on earth is the influence of evil spirits. Evil spirits are persons without physical bodies and they seek to express there lust through bodies they inhabit. They do the bidding of Satan and what they do causes suffering and death in people’s lives. What is there mission? Their mission is to try to stop people from coming to Jesus Christ and they also try to make it hard for believers in Christ to do the work of God effectively. They basically do what Satan wants them to do and that is to kill, steal and destroy man. You are also in Satan’s cross hairs, but Jesus has already made a way out for you. Jesus has given us authority over these persons without bodies called evil spirits. We are in the heavenly places reigning with Christ. Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven and what we loose on earth is loosed in heaven. That is our authority in Christ. We reign with Christ and what Jesus says will have to come to pass. God has provided a way for us to deal with the flesh and that is through the cross. The flesh has to be crucified, but God has also given us the authority to deal with evil spirits in the name of Jesus. In Mark 16: 17 Jesus says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils...” (KJV). In Luke 12: 32 Jesus also says, “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (KJV). God has a Kingdom and now is the time to reign with Christ. Arise and shine for your light has come.

Is there any difference between Demons and Angels? Yes, there are differences between Demons and Angels. Demons do not have bodies, but Angels have bodies. Demons always look for bodies they can inhabit. That is not the case with Angels. Angels have their own bodies, they do not crave to inhabit other bodies and they have wings. They are heavenly beings and flying is their mode of transport. In Daniel 9:21 Daniel says, “while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice” (RSV). Daniel saw an Angel in a swift fight. Angels do fly, but not demons. Now, not all Angels are good angels. There are Angels that got involved in Satan’s rebellion in heaven. Those are known as fallen or satanic Angels. Battles for our destiny here on earth are fought in the heavenly places way far beyond what we can see and this happens between God’s Angels and Satan’s Angel. When Angel Gabriel was sent to Daniel here on earth when Daniel prayed and fasted, Gabriel had to fight satanic Angels in the heavenly places for twenty one days. After Angel Gabriel delivered the answer to Daniel and was going back to heaven, he still had to fight those same satanic Angels. Let us look at what Angel Gabriel told Daniel and see what really happens. In Daniel 10: 20 the Bible says, “Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I am through with him, lo, the prince of Greece will come” (RSV). Angels of God fight satanic Angels in the heavenly places. There are battles in the heavenly places that are being fought on your behalf. Paul In Ephesians 6:12 says, “For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (RSV). Paul the Apostle does not say, “I”, but he says “We”. There is just more than you involved in this conflict. There Angels involved in a spiritual conflict in the heavenly places. The other difference is that Demons walk instead and they consider bodies to be houses. In Matthew 12: 43 Jesus says, “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none” (KJV). They walk around to find rest and they end up in people because they consider bodies to be houses. A large number of Demons can inhabit someone and the state of such a person can really be bad. However, a believer in Christ in these battles on earth has the authority to cast them out in the name of Jesus Christ. |
