DEMON IN GOD’S TEMPLE

Re. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.

You’re in error if you think the devil {serpent or dragon}  will come in future. In fact, he had come down to the earth before Jesus Christ was born,  and since then he’s been doing evil acts, destroying man kind and leading millions of souls to hell.

Mt. 4:8 The devil {serpent or dragon} took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

This above scripture states that the devil is here on the earth, on which it has authority. You may wonder how it took control the kingdoms of the world without doing battles. You’re not aware of its power.  To know its power, you must read the scripture below.

1Co. 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
                               
2Th. 2:4 He{devil, serpent or dragon} will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

2Co. 4:4 The god of this age {devil, serpent or dragon} has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so
that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

This is the evil power of the devil. If he sets himself up in man, how come can he see the light of  gospel of the glory of Christ?  Therefore, in whom it dwells, the man/woman is it’s servant. And it is their master. With the authority, It’s been leading the rulers, who are pawn in its hands,  toward destruction and sinful ways. This is how the devil  got the authority over  rulers, people, as well as the world.

See the way it’s been creating mayhem around the world: In the form of terrorism. In the form of wars.  In addition to these, it is creating disputes between counties and sparking off communal, disturbances, regional difference, and racial segregation around the world. It’s been vanishing peace in the world and developing destruction.

Make sure it’s not you, brothern. Suppose you posses a weakness, it takes advantage of it and subjugates you. Then it leads you astray. Your name will be blotted out of the book of life.

Since God precipitated him from heaven,  he is excessively angry with god made man mankind, because they are god’s children. He wants to take them {us} to hell with him. He doesn’t like us to go to heaven, which god created for us.    

Dear brothern, we must be ware of the devil. Unless we posses Holy spirit, It won’t go away from us. Strive to posses Holy spirt and ask God for it. He grants us generously, and with it, he saves us from the demon and the demon-possessed world.            

God bless us.
