“He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” Colossians 2:15
Hi friends! I’ve got something SENSATIONAL for you today! It’s the skinny on the supernatural … DEMONS to be more precise 🤯
And YES they are real!!
Have you ever pondered the meaning of Scriptures like the one we began with? Who are the rulers and powers Paul is talking about? And how did Jesus defeat them?? In addition, how do we defeat them in our own lives?
Believe it or not, ancient Jews (including ALL of the New Testament authors) believed fallen angels procreated GIANTS with human women. According to Jewish traditions, like those expressed in the apocryphal book of Enoch, those fallen angels also taught humanity all of the perversions we see expressed in our world like sexual sin, warfare, hallucinogenic drugs and paganism (see my latest short video linked 👇).
As a punishment, those angels were locked in an abyss and the spirits of their giant offspring were cursed to roam the earth in the form of what we call demons. These demons were the ones Jesus cast out of possessed people AND they are the ones Christians do battle with in our spiritual lives.
I guess my point in writing you this week is to say that this is NOT a mythology … demons are REAL and very much a part of the Biblical worldview 🤯
However, the message you need to remember is that Jesus defeated them and we can defeat them in our lives and communities when we rely on God’s power!
Application:
What do you think about angels and demons?
Do you see demons at work in our world? How?
What is our role in defeating the demonic in our own lives and communities?
