Demons on SermonAudio

As the gospel goes forth, the demonic power of Satan is no match for the heavenly power of God.

The sermon examines Psalm 119:75 to define true saving faith through the theological concepts of knowing, believing, and trusting. Drawing from the Protestant Reformation, it distinguishes mere intellectual assent from genuine reliance on God's word during times of affliction. The preacher argues that while demons may know and believe in God, only believers who trust Him demonstrate living faith. By referencing Hebrews 11, the message emphasizes that authentic faith requires personal trust in God even when circumstances are difficult or unseen. The conclusion challenges listeners to move beyond easy believism and cultivate a deep, trusting relationship with the Lord.

Are monitoring spirits taught in Scripture? In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines popular deliverance teachings concerning monitoring spirits and compares those claims with the Word of God. She considers teachings from Ryan LeStrange and Tiffany Buckner, including claims that monitoring spirits work through people, jealousy, procrastination, relationships, and other circumstances. Dawn explains why the biblical reality of Satan and spiritual warfare does not establish the modern doctrine of monitoring spirits. She also warns that such teaching can create fear, suspicion, and an unhealthy focus on demonic activity. Rather than demonizing people or interpreting ordinary struggles as evidence of demonic spirits, Christians are called to submit to God, resist the devil, trust God's sovereignty, and rest in the sufficiency of Scripture. Believers in Christ have been delivered from the domain of darkness, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and equipped by God to stand firm in biblical spiritual warfare.

The sermon presents the gospel of redemption as a divine purchase where Jesus Christ pays the ultimate price for human sin through His sacrificial death. It contrasts the bondage of slavery to Satan and the justice of God against humanity with the freedom found only in trusting Christ's finished work. Using the metaphor of Hosea buying back his unfaithful wife, the message illustrates God's initiative in rescuing sinners from their self-imposed captivity and spiritual death. The preacher emphasizes that salvation is a free gift received by simple faith, not earned by religious effort or human goodness. Ultimately, the text calls listeners to recognize their desperate need for this two-fold deliverance from both divine wrath and demonic power through belief in Jesus.

Spiritual warfare is real, but Christians are not called to live in fear or become consumed with speculation about the demonic. Scripture calls believers to be sober-minded, watchful, and firmly grounded in the truth of God's Word. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins examines what Scripture teaches about spiritual warfare. He explains why the Christian battle is not against flesh and blood, how the enemy works through deception and distortion of truth, and why biblical discernment is essential. Christians should neither ignore spiritual warfare nor see demonic activity behind everything. Instead, believers must recognize the reality of the spiritual battle while standing firm in Christ and trusting the sufficiency of Scripture. God has not left His people unprepared. He has given us His Word, and His Word is truth. For more from Contending for the Word Q&A, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/

Every Christian man is engaged in a real spiritual battle. Scripture neither encourages an unhealthy obsession with demons nor permits believers to ignore spiritual opposition. Instead, the Lord commands His people to be strong in Him and to stand firm with the armor He provides. In this episode of Warriors of Grace, Dave Jenkins explains Ephesians 6:10–18 and shows how Christian men can face sin, temptation, fear, discouragement, pride, anger, passivity, and spiritual opposition with biblical courage. Victory does not come through human ingenuity, willpower, or self-confidence. Christian men fight from the finished victory of Jesus Christ. Through truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, Scripture, prayer, and fellowship in the local church, God supplies everything His people need to remain faithful. Stand firm in Christ, remain vigilant, and fight with the armor God provides. For more from Warriors of Grace, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/warriors-of-grace-podcast/

(1) Israel Watch 8/9/26: A "deal" is in the works with Iran (Persia) which we believe will be temporary through the mid-terms. Meanwhile the Gaza deal appears to be rejected by P.M. Netanyahu with Hamas agreeing to disarm but having a perfect track record of LYING (Taqiyya). Massie (agnostic), Kent (Catholic), Carlson (Protestant), Marjorie Taylor Green and husband (neo-evangelicals) are forming a third party with the intent of destroying MAGA due to their support for Israel.
