Demons on SermonAudio

This sermon establishes a biblical theology of divine healing by examining the origins and causes of sickness and death. The preacher argues that while man's sin is the moral cause, God's holiness serves as the judicial cause for the general presence of suffering in the world. It emphasizes God's sovereignty over specific instances of illness, rejecting simplistic views that attribute all disease solely to demonic activity or lack of faith. The message warns against superficial theological assumptions and urges believers to accept the complexity of divine judgment and grace. Ultimately, it directs attention from physical restoration to the greater spiritual healing found in Christ.

Amidst rising cultural deceptions, particularly regarding UFO sightings and technological advancements, do you believe that there's intelligent life on other planets? Do you believe the accounts of alien encounters are legitimate?

For a Biblical explanation, please listen to Closer Encounters taught by David Boxton.

The sermon centers on the biblical account of Jesus delivering a man possessed by Legion, illustrating that He actively seeks out sinners regardless of their hopeless condition. By recounting the preceding storm on the sea, the message emphasizes that spiritual obstacles cannot hinder Christ's power to save or His care for those in distress. The preacher highlights the total transformation of the Gadarene demoniac from a state of despair and self-harm to one of peace and right-mindedness, proving that no human effort can achieve such change. This divine intervention serves as a testament to Jesus' authority over both nature and demonic forces, offering immediate hope to anyone who feels beyond help. The narrative concludes with an urgent call for listeners to surrender their burdens to Christ, assuring them that He is always ready to bring salvation and restoration.

The sermon addresses the pervasive spiritual battle for the human mind, identifying anxiety and fear as primary symptoms of deception by the kingdom of darkness. It distinguishes between natural fears and illegitimate anxieties, arguing that true peace comes from understanding one's identity as a child of God through the resurrection of Christ. The speaker outlines three major categories of fear—death, people, and Satan—and demonstrates how faith in God's omnipotence dispels these threats. Emphasis is placed on renewing the mind through Scripture and resisting demonic influence by submitting to God rather than engaging in fleshly reactions. Ultimately, the message calls believers to live with courage and compassion, anchored in their secure position in Christ and the hope of eternal life.

There isn't just one kind of unbelief. Which one do you have? Outright unbelief. Self-trusting unbelief. Mixed unbelief. Jesus confronts them all and shows us the only answer. Sermon preached at Carey Baptist Church in Reading, UK.

Jesus tells his disciples their beloved city will fall, then gives them three things for uncertain times: beware false teachers who promise earthly security and miss the real problem of sin, don't sensationalize suffering but stay focused on the task of proclaiming the gospel, and trust the word that will outlast heaven and earth. The one who chose you before you were born will tailor every hardship to bring you home.

Matthew 8:28-34 records that Jesus went into a Gentile nation and cast more than 2,000 demons out of a demon possessed man. 1. Demons believe that Jesus is the Son of God. 2. Demons believe in punishment for sin. 3. Demons believe in a set time for judgment. 4. Demons believe Jesus the one who will judge and punish them. 5. Mark 5:6-20 states they worship Jesus, but their worship is not pleasant. 6. Demon possessed people are very strong because this man broke chains and fetters apart. 7. This demon possessed man was miserable because of his condition. 8. The demon possessed man saw Jesus a long way off and ran to worship Jesus. Demons and Satan himself, have no love or faith. They have no love for God or faith in his precious promises. Demons know Jesus is a Savior, but Jesus is not their savior. Acts 16:16-18 records there was a demon possessed girl following Paul and Silas, proclaiming that Paul and Silas were servants of God, and showed the way of salvation. Paul cast this demon out of this girl, setting her free. Demons are alive on this earth and are everywhere, tormenting many people. Demons are alive in every nation on this earth, even where we live. Jesus has power over all these demons, showing that he is the only one that can keep this evil from us.
