WHERE EVIL SPIRITS CAME FROM AND HOW TO CAST THEM OUT
WHERE EVIL SPIRITS CAME FROM AND HOW TO CAST THEM OUT
‘There
was a man in the synagogue who had an unclean spirit and he cried out with a
loud scream, “Ahh! What have You to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You
come to destroy us? I know Who You are – the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked
him saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown the man
down, it came out of him without injuring him. They were amazed and said, “What
Word is this? For with authority and power He commands the evil spirits and
they come out?’” (Luke 4:33 to 36).
We have written this Bible study for your information,
solely to deal with the subject of the devil, fallen angels, evil spirits and
how to take authority over them.
There are references to evil beings scattered
throughout the Bible and the scriptures describe the actions and outcomes of
those evil entities.
The devil, fallen angels and evil spirits are the wicked
principalities and powers that stand before God (Job 1:6; 2:1).
Fallen angels
dwell in heavenly places causing havoc and offence but evil spirits dwell on
earth causing chaos, sickness and death.
The Lord Himself in His sovereignty
sometimes uses the devil and evil spirits for His own purposes and when He has
finished with them, they will be thrown into the lake of fire, the place Jesus
called the eternal fire, Gehenna or Shoal, for all eternity along with the
false prophet and the beast, and we will be free of them forever.
The lake of
fire was created for God’s judgement on the devil and fallen angels (Matthew
25:41).
Before they rebelled, the lake of fire did not exist. ‘The beast was
taken with the false prophet … These two were thrown alive into the lake of
fire that burns with sulphur … The devil who deceived mankind was thrown into
the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are.
They
will be tormented day and night forever and ever … The cowardly, unbelieving,
sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters and all
liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the
second death’ (Revelation 19:20; 20:10; 21:8).
