Bible Note: KingdomWalker Let me say I agree with you in what you said, yes people can be influenced by demonic activity. You gave some excellent examples of this happening. The main thing to remember is, demons are not omnipresent they can only be in one place at a time. Therefore if they are influencing one they can't be anywhere else. While we have no idea of the possible number of demons there has to be some limitation. Therefore they I believe they have a tendency to focus on the biggest bang for the buck. In other words they are not going to waste much time with someone that can only influence a handful of people. I believe they go after big fish, men and women that influence thousands and millions. What is the cut off here no one knows as it depends on how many demons exist. Today as in the past many blame demons for problems that are caused by unsubmitted flesh. However today we have many false teachers proclaiming demons, and spirits that seize churches, cities, communities and people, teaching false spiritual warfare all of which is done for no other reason than making a buck. I’m more convinced lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and pride of life has destroyed more people, churches, ministries, communities than all the work of the adversary and his henchmen put together. More ministry has been corrupted because the men and women have taken their eyes off God and placed them on physical rewards than all the gossip in the world. EdB |
