Demons at Work

It is astonishing to me that so many adult children are turning on their parents, not just in lack of respect but also their minds are twisted against them without any real evidence that the parents did something to provoke this contempt and anger. There is a growing rebellion against all authority and reasonableness. It is impossible to reason with so many people these days, they refuse to rationally discuss anything to resolve it. This is becoming more common, even often. I think demons are messing with the minds of people against one another but especially against believers in Christ.

I am convinced that in these last days demons will be more active in appearances to people in the form of aliens from outer space, working on their minds to think they have been abducted, even though they had not gone anywhere.

Someone can actually see something but interpret it the opposite of what actually happened, this is demonic. We know people on drugs can believe they have spiders crawling all over them, so vividly that they are screaming and panicking in terror, when there are no spiders there at all. I believe demons can do the same thing as these drugs do, deceive the mind into thinking frightening things or things that would make them enraged, when it has no basis in reality.

It is a good idea to continually seek Christ for the wisdom and strength to deal with others in our culture who have no defenses against demonic control, because they are not born again.

I do not believe a demon will control the mind of a true believer, demons hate to come near to Christ, they run from those who are filled with the Holy Spirit. However they can bring non-believers to attack us, when we are weak we might respond in ungodly ways to defend ourselves. We need to pray that Christ take total control of our thoughts while allowing HIM to fight the enemy on our behalf.

I also see why so many people who claim to be Christians running from on fire believers. Those who are unsaved but think they are, become very uncomfortable around those who have Christ dwelling in them.

There are those who would say that Christians can be possessed by devils or that they can have their mind controlled by them. This is not true, only those who fit the description of Matthew 7:21-23 will be prey for the demonic realm.

Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
