Beskrivelse
Demonology (the study, classification and activities of demons) is "invading" the kingdom of Satan. The Bible calls him the god of this world who has blinded the minds of those that believe not.But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God should shine unto them. II Corinthians 4:3-4The Bible calls him our adversary who goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. (I Peter 5:8). Satan is also called the prince and power of the air. (Read the following Scriptures: St. John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11 and Ephesians 2:2.) Satan tried to stop the ministry of Jesus Christ in the wilderness by offering Jesus all the kingdoms of this world. (Read St. Matthew, Chapter 4.) Jesus used the word of God against Satan, continually telling him it is written...An exorcist, as one who drives out evil spirits, must do everything according to God's word. He cannot go beyond the authority that God has given him. No one can cast Satan and his demons "back to the pit." His time is not yet and he knows it. Let us refer to St. Matthew 8:29.We must learn to rightly divide God's word because the demons know their rights. No one can take rights away from the devil that God has permitted him to have. Even Jesus could not torment the demons before their time by casting them back to the pit. The Word of God must be fulfilled. Again, their time is not yet. But the time will come.Knowledge according to the Word of God gives you power. Ask yourself, what does God say about it. When Christ came, he came to invade the kingdom of Satan. He also called unto Him his twelve disciples, and later seventy disciples and gave them power. He sent them out two by two and they invaded the kingdom of Satan. This is the ministry of Jesus Christ. (Read St. Matthew, Chapter 10 and also St. Luke, Chapter 10.) This is what demonology and the work of an exorcist are all about. Christ committed this work to the church. The ministry of Jesus Christ, to this day, has not changed. Ministries have changed, but the ministry of Jesus Christ has not. Neither has God's Word changed.When an individual receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit, he is snatched away from Satan's kingdom. The whole of heaven rejoices when a sinner repents. But this does not stop Satan from trying to snatch that soul back. If there were no deliverance ministers and if everyone was fighting against demonology, just imagine the state that churches would be in. If I, and other deliverance ministers, do not invade the kingdom of Satan, many souls will be lost to suicide, homosexuality, depression, lust, fear, witchcraft and thousands of other demonic spirits.Dealing as an exorcist, one must first have the anointing and be exercising wisdom and knowledge. Every deliver¬ance minister should be able to operate in the gift of Discernment according to I Corinthians, Chapter 12. To "discern" means to be able to tell the difference between the flesh (person-ality of the person) and the spirit; what is of God and what is of the devil. Demons can take over the personality of a person and manifest themselves in his speech and actions. If we cannot discern, we will be talking to and sometimes arguing with demons and not know it. We must also discern what is of God. Sometimes the Holy Spirit is working through a person and because we do not discern it to be so, we attribute the works of the Holy Ghost to the devil. However, everything is not God and everything is not a demon. Sometimes it is just the flesh. (Read Romans Chapter 7.) We must discern the difference.The original Apostles have gone from the scene, but we are continuing their works. Remember Jesus said in St. John 14:12, "Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
