Are Demons Real? The Answer May Surprise You!

Are demons real, do they really exist?  Of course they do, the bible tells us that Jesus had dealings with them.  People came to Jesus asking him to cast demons out of them or out of people they knew as in Matthew 8:16 (cev); that evening many people with demons in them were brought to Jesus.   And with only a word he forced out the evil spirits and healed everyone who was sick.  This scripture also proves that not only do demons exist, but they also possess & oppress people. 

There are many kinds of demons that do many kinds of things to influence & control us & the things we do.  Have you ever heard of the saying “the devil made me do it”?  People used this as a joke but many times it may be true to some degree.  This subject is too big for us to cover here so I only want to start you to thinking about the demons affecting your life!  Do you know who they are & what influence they have over you?

Let me make this a little easier to get the answers you need.  Everyone has goals that they want to achieve right?  What are the things in your life that you want to do but for some reason you just can’t seem to get it done?  Who’s holding you back?  I suggest that some demon is probably at the root of your problem.

Don’t get all spooked on me.  Let’s look at it like this.  If I were to ask the people close to you about the things that you need to change & the things that are holding you back, what would they say those things are?  If I were to ask your ex’s the same question, what would they say?

The reason why this information is important is because God only gave us good things according to Galatians 5:22-23 (cev); God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, 23 gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.  If that is true, then where did things like pride, lust, stubbornness, insecurity, fear, rejection, abandonment & loneliness come from? Not only are demons real, their leader Satan is real too!

The bible tells us that Satan is a thief in John 10:10 (amp); the thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it[a]overflows); & he is trying to take your life!  So if Satan is trying to kill you, don’t you need to know just how he’s planning to do that?  Do you know?  What’s your plan to defeat him?  Do you even have a plan of action against him?

I know I’m asking a lot of questions but they all lead to the same place.  You need to have a plan to win the battle being waged against you because whether you like it or not, it’s already happening.  Now the next part, how can you have a plan when you don’t even know who you’re fighting?  That’s why you need the answers to the questions I’ve asked you above.  Are you a procrastinator, an addict, a hater, jealous, etc?  As you can see, there are many ways that a demon can influence who you are & how you act.  Then gain access to you via your own sin or from the sins of those in your family via generational curses.  No matter how they got in, you have the power thru the blood of Jesus to put them out.  Sounds like a lot right but here’s why it’s going to be easier than you think; Philippians 4:13 (amp); I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who [a]infuses inner strength into me; I am [b]self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].

So, now what?  The 1st thing you need to do is to sit down with God to make an honest list of the demonic influences in your life.  The 2nd thing you need to do is to ask God to help you create & develop a plan of action against them.  The 3rd thing you need to do is work the plan – you & God can tweak the plan as you need to but you have to do what the plan instructs at all cost.  Your life is on the line so you have to kill the demons trying to kill you.

Here’s where your relationship with the Holy Spirit will be vital.  This is not a battle you can win alone.  Don’t you want the best help possible?  Of course you do & the Holy Spirit is the best in the business!  So ask God for the help you need just like Mark 11:24 (lb) tells us; Listen to me! You can pray for anything, and if you believe, you have it; it’s yours!

Here’s a tip to ensure your victory against every demon coming against you.  You have to be living & working Romans 12:2 (amp); Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].  You have to allow God to transform you into the original creation He made you to be.  On this path will be the power & resources you need to win every battle!

 Are demons real?  Yes they are, but you now have what you need to free yourself & take the demons in your life captive now!
