What the Bible Says About the Evil in the Spiritual Realm
This post is looking at what the Scripture says about the spiritual realm. And, especially, at evil in the spiritual realm.
Satan
Outwitting Satan – 2 Corinthians 2:10-11
How important is forgiveness? It is commanded by Christ, and our forgiveness is dependant on it. But lack of forgiveness also becomes a tool in Satan’s hands to hinder our effectiveness. One key to outwitting Satan? Forgive others.
Like a Roaring Lion – 1 Peter 5:8-9
Peter pictures Satan as a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Belief in a personal devil, Satan, is often given lip service, but do we really believe it? I suspect we would take Satan more seriously if we could see him roaming the streets looking for victims. On our own we are no match for Satan, but when we take our stand against him in faith, we do not stand alone (2 Kings 6:15-18).
