If Satan cast out Satan, he is
divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:26
By Paul D. Joao
For quite some now,
studying Demonology from many Christian People in the community of theology to
the paranormal to counseling, non Christian and last but not least secular,
this verse is a solid Biblical statement that is explains everything. That
Jesus was trying to make, we as Christians if we believe in Demons or Not,
often hear stories of people have experience these beings that have resulted
either in a exorcists or a learning experience that enable to become a
teacher. Even in the “not of”
Christianity teachings sometimes they will change the belief and make it sound
that Demons are a good thing if that something. Even though from the many
resources out there available either on the website or Christian or Non
Christian book store. People will read a version of that author's belief in the
subject. Therefore, my view this is what it is, a battle for a soul that is in
stake when people often forget that when preaching or teaching any topic of
demonology that the heart of it all is a person soul. In this report, a person
will comprehend that aspect to look for and what to know when engaging this
Demonology.
One of the first things is Prayer
of protection and knowing that any sins in the past is past must be forgiven by
God because when engaging in this field, a person that might be under a
influence of a Demonic oppression or attachment will know the difference. Demons
do not like binging discussed about so they will do everything in their power
to keep you away from the Truth and use what a person has done in the past to
haunt them. Verses a person who been forgiven but always keeps in the prayer
mood and knowing that in any event anything might distract that person.
Another thing is having a Biblical
understanding of the nature of Demons. It is common that people that is not Christian who
may be in crafts that deals in Demonology may try to deceive a person in any
way like Astral projection, where a person’s spirit can be transported to
another location while the body remains back in the original location. The rule
is if the Bible states anywhere such as Apostle John going to the third Heaven
and receive a message from Jesus to write a book like Revelation then it must
come from Jesus then. Perhaps, but not all AP is one of the many methods that
Satan has used or tricked many to believe that is possible, knowing the
differences can help people understanding what is allowed and what is not
allowed in the Christian context, with Biblical verses to support the claim, if
any. As Satan has copied God Word and use it for other than what God intended. Finely
we have an understanding from a Christian view that can make a person who might
have experience in these kinds of things before, coming to Christ.
So what about people who have or
had experiences it seems like every year a author comes out with a book or
story on their encounters, and for those who are going through a form of
struggle so what then. Call the author for help, sometimes reading the Bible
might make since, perhaps if a person took the Christian Demonology cover and
placed it around a Bible like these some Bible names such as Apologetics study
Bible or a Christian Spiritual Warfare, whatever the case is. It is good to
have a person write their story or come out with a theology Book that contains
some sort of knowledge of how to deal or learn from. However, the person must
state that God has saved them, or shown that it is a real account. In the past,
there been attempts of Books by people who were false and the people who had
their material thought was real, and it’s another form of false thinking been
around. Needless to say, for those who
been writing and helping others these are a great way to get the message of
Jesus out to the world.
Even the Counseling is great source
to know because what a person knows where or how demons feed off negative
thoughts such as pain or events in the past, it creates a foothold in the
person life. They can live a life however, when they come near any Christian
environment it sometimes stirs things such as attachment or a memory in the
past that does not allow the message of Jesus to come into the person life.
This of course blocks and triggers the person to stay away, its effective in
this manner. In some Christian counseling it helps to get to the root of the
problem so the person can feel relax while he or she can attempt overcome this
area and possibility build a relationship of Jesus Christ. What a person should look for author or groups
that have an insight to Christian Counseling, that might or near to relative to
Demonology. This way as the sessions between the client and a counselor is in
the process a healing of Jesus can begin in their lives. In the opposite
aspect, in the some groups or people who treat in counseling may cause the
client from not knowing the real treatment from Jesus.
Knowing there is a worldwide
Christians who deal with Demonology in the paranormal or similar fields a
person should be grounded in a Church and knowing that in some aspects people
would consider it as outreach ministries than a “typical” group that is common
misleading in Christian communities. Or having a both aspects helps bear
witness to others who may wish to teach in the Christian Churches as an example
is a Christian Demonologist or a Christian Paranormal team comes into the
church and help others to understand a hidden danger that is not always
welcomed in Christian communities. As
people who are dealing with a form of demons in their home, a Church is
sometimes called to help and does not help because of what the church may
believe in. so the family is restored to asking a New Ager or a person who may
be in the dark practice for help. So if the Church knew some knowledge or knows
a team to help the family that family could come into the Christianity is it
that what soul winning about.
What is the true form of soul
winning in Demonology after all, why is easier to tell a Demon In the name of
Jesus I cast you out phrase then telling that Jesus died for us and taking a
point to tell them about Jesus. However, in our modern time people look for
demonstrating act, such as seeing a power of Jesus or the power of Satan.
People get so conceived that people probability do not know what to believe. As
Christians who engage in the Demonology should conduct sermons on street
corners whatever the outlet there is, that the message is clear
that Jesus loves people and people should not feel threaten to call on Jesus
and in times of trouble Jesus is near and he will protect the person. While
Satan does the opposite he will do everything in his power to keep in harm,
danger, trap, confuse until they been shown the truth of how much Jesus can do
for them.
In the end, a person who reads this should think as the
person who is not a Christian have ever tried calling on Jesus and reaching out
to a Christian Demonologist or a relative in the field. Or have they been
trying every form of help with not getting to the root of the problem. That
Jesus is the answer and we as Christian should work together with “Christian
outreaches ministries” for help is in that the purpose of soul winning after
all. Therefore, the person can now live with peace of Jesus in their lives.
