Demons on SermonAudio

The sermon examines the dangers of idolatry by analyzing Paul's warnings in 1 Corinthians 10, emphasizing that believers must flee from any association with demons. It highlights the profound spiritual reality of the Lord's Supper as a true communion with Christ's death and body, which creates unity among believers. The preacher contrasts this holy fellowship with the impossibility of maintaining consistency while participating in the table of devils. Drawing parallels between ancient Israel's failures and modern Christian life, the message serves as a stern admonition against spiritual complacency and hypocrisy. Ultimately, the text calls for unwavering faithfulness to God, urging believers to recognize their vulnerability to sin while relying on God's faithfulness to provide escape.

Jesus crosses into the country of the Gerasenes and confronts a man enslaved by a legion of demons, a man whom no human power could restrain or restore. With sovereign authority, Christ delivers him, restores him to his right mind, and sends him home to tell what the Lord has done for him and how He has shown him mercy. Mark 5:1–20 reveals Jesus Christ as the mighty and merciful Savior who enters places of ruin, overcomes the powers of darkness, restores ruined sinners by His grace, and sends the redeemed to bear witness to His mercy. This passage confronts us with four great realities: the ruin of man under sin and Satan, the absolute authority of Jesus Christ, the danger of preferring our idols to the presence of Christ, and the calling of every redeemed sinner to testify to the mercy of God. There is no sinner beyond Christ's reach, no bondage stronger than His saving power, and no legion too great for the Son of God.

The study analyzes Revelation chapter nine, specifically the fifth trumpet and the torment of the locusts, through a partial preterist lens that connects these visions to the AD 70 fall of Jerusalem. The speaker argues that the apocalyptic imagery symbolizes a demonically inspired military siege rather than literal insects or future events, emphasizing God's sovereignty over even chaotic judgments. By examining historical accounts from Josephus and parallels in the book of Joel, the text illustrates how divine judgment targets those without God's seal while preserving believers. The discussion highlights the theological tension between different eschatological views, ultimately affirming that God remains in control amidst tribulation and spiritual delusion. This perspective assures listeners of their secure identity in Christ regardless of the timing or nature of prophetic fulfillment.

As dad, you're the tip of the spear in the spiritual battle for your family. The dads talk about their own experiences in spiritual warfare, including examples from their own lives.

Recently, a well-known political pundit has made the claim that he was "attacked by a demon" while he slept one night. He claimed he was "clawed" by this demon. No picture or other attempt to document this was provided. This has given rise to speculations about demon-possession especially regarding several other pundits who have shifted to a strong anti-Israel and anti-Semitic stance in recent years. Could they be demon-possessed? Only Scripture provides answers to these questions. In this lesson we study the biblical difference between demon influence and demonic possession. We learn about the traps people fall into when they base such claims on human experience, emotions, or speculation. In one sense all ideas, philosophies, opinions, beliefs contrary to Scriptural truth are ultimately sourced from Satanic/demonic influence. Anti-Semitism is one of the most toxic of Satan's evil schemes, designed to destroy God's people, Israel, whom God identifies as "the apple of His eye." Learn what that means. We also learn that Satan is the "father of lies" and the ultimate counterfeiter of truth. Satan can even counterfeit demon possession, even deceiving numerous Christians, pastors, and theologians into thinking a believer in Christ can be indwelt by a demon. Learn what the Bible teaches about these significant truths and why we must not be taken captive by the strategies of the devil.

The sermon exposes the stealthy and pervasive tactics of Satan, who operates as a roaring lion seeking to devour believers through various forms of occult activity and spiritual deception. It emphasizes the necessity of knowing the enemy's strategies to effectively resist his attacks, drawing on biblical warnings against divination and spiritism found in Deuteronomy 18. Through illustrative accounts of demonic influence and personal deliverance, the text highlights the reality of spiritual bondage and the destructive nature of Satan's systems compared to God's life-giving truth. Believers are urged to put on the full armor of God and rely on the authority of Christ to overcome these forces rather than relying on secular or occult remedies. The message concludes with practical guidance for helping others by listening, discerning symptoms, and leading them to submit to God and renounce sin.

Sabbath problem. What power was casting out demons? The unpardonable sin. Seeking for a sign. Who was Jesus' mother?

The sermon outlines practical spiritual warfare strategies for achieving total freedom from demonic influence, emphasizing the necessity of renouncing occult practices and lies. It explores the subtle ways Satan communicates through thoughts, contrasting divine inspiration with demonic deception using biblical examples like Peter and Ananias. The speaker stresses that unforgiveness provides a legal ground for the enemy, illustrating this with the parable of the unmerciful servant to highlight the critical link between receiving God's forgiveness and extending it to others. By systematically addressing past involvement in spiritism and bitterness, believers can dismantle strongholds and restore their dignity as image-bearers of God. The message concludes that enduring freedom requires a deliberate, faith-based commitment to forgive those who have caused deep emotional wounds.
