A Preview of the book: "Applied Demonology"

Introduction

I have heard of cases where people were taken to the hospital totally sick but the doctors could not find anything wrong in their bodies. No scientific equipment could identify the problem of the patient! And as a result, no treatment could be offered to the patient. In these situations, only a Christian whose spiritual eyes are open can detect what is happening to the sick person. This is why Zech. 3v. 6 states that it is not by might or power, but by the Spirit of God. What happens in the natural originates from the spirit realm. Hos. 4v. 6 says that the people of God are destroyed for lack of knowledge. I have been sent by Jesus Christ to present Applied Demonology to you that you may know why mankind is suffering and what to do about the causes of the suffering. You must have knowledge about demons and their work and this book has been commissioned by God to give you that knowledge. This is a free well of knowledge you did not dig based on Deut. 6vv. 10-11, and so you should take it seriously. I have spent many years digging it for you as an apostle of Christ Jesus. This does not mean I should give this book for free. Deut. 17v. 18 shows that you should to make a copy of it for yourself, and that is by buying it.

Luke 10v. 19 gives you authority to deal with all the power of the enemy. Demons are your enemies and so you must be ready to engage all of them in a spiritual battle. This means that you must first of all know the demons and their operations before you can effectively fight against them. Applied Demonology has been written by the command of God to prepare an army for Christ ready to demolish the kingdom of darkness. Judges 5v. 23 reveals that you should help the Lord against the mighty demonic powers against his creation.

Applied Demonology

Demonology is defined as the study of demons or beliefs about demons. Applied Demonology is the study and application of knowledge about demons in a spiritual battle with a purpose of setting free those who are bound by them.

The Purpose of Studying Applied Demonology

Josh. 1v. 8 commands that we should not let the book of the law depart from our mouths; we should meditate on it day and night, so that we may be careful to do everything written in it; then we will be prosperous and successful. The purpose of studying Applied Demonology is to obey the command of the Lord. The Bible teaches about demons and how to deal with them. The teachings contained in Applied Demonology are drawn from the Bible. After a study of this book, you will be able to watch and pray against the enemy and that will expand the kingdom of God. Your prayers will defeat all wicked people who serve the devil.

Rev. 13v. 4 says that men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast. The dragon is Satan. Satan uses people, many of whom pretend to be servants of Jesus Christ. And because of the fake miracles they do, people follow them thinking that it is God using them. This book exposes Satan and his operations that you may not follow Satan thinking you are following God. The purpose of studying Applied Demonology is to enable you to worship God.

Satan and Demons

Rev. 12v. 7 says that there was a war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray, and his angels with him. This account tells us that Satan is an angel who fell out of his assigned domain. Satan is an evil leader against God and his people. Demons are evil spirits and they do not have natural bodies.

Fallen angels have never inhabited flesh and blood bodies. Disembodied humans in hell or in the spirit world are demons. They are evil spirits doing the will of their father the devil. In Mat. 16v. 23, we see Jesus calling Peter “Satan” because he was opposing the will of God. He says that Satan has the mind of a man. Sinners in hell are Satan because they do the will of Satan. Gen. 3v. 15 says that there is a seed of a serpent and a seed of a woman. The seed of a serpent are serpents. In John 6v. 70, Jesus called Judas a devil. Judas, the son of Iscariot, is a demon in hell today. Rev. 2v.1 calls the pastor of the Church of Ephesus an “angel.” If saints are called “angels,” then sinners are “devils.” There are no spirits of natural beasts like animals in hell.

A Spirit Being

A spirit being is one which does not have a natural body. John 4v. 24 says that God is spirit. We never see God because he exists in the spirit realm. He does not have a natural physical body but has a spiritual body. The spiritual body of the Father and Son has a physical form resembling the body of a man but the body of the Holy Ghost does not have any form. A spirit being has flesh and bones but does not have blood based on Luke 24v. 39. The resurrected spiritual body of Jesus had flesh and bones. Also, a spirit being can be defined as one without a body, like the spirits of dead people. Spirits of dead people have forms resembling the one of the bodies they had before death. Luke 24v. 39 calls them ghosts. The word “ghost” simply means “spirit.”

Spiritual Realm

Spiritual realm refers to the realm of the spirit beings. This is the region beyond the natural one. Demons dwell in this region. Our spirits are conscious of this region. God dwells in the spirit realm.

The Aim of Satan’s Operations

If you look at Ezek. 28vv. 11-19, you will find that Satan was a perfect being before he fell. He was in the Eden of God. He was the anointed cherub as ordained by God. He was blameless before God before wickedness was found in him. He became violent and sinned. Because of his beauty, he became proud and corrupted his wisdom because of his splendor. He was expelled from Eden by God. Rev. 12v. 7 says that Satan leads the whole world astray.

Isa. 14vv. 12-15 says that the morning star, son of the down is fallen from heaven. He has been cast down to the earth, he who once laid low the nations. He says in his heart “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountains…” He also said he would make himself as the Most High. Gen. 1v. 1says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. This was the beginning of the plans of God for man.

The aim of Satan is to frustrate the plans of God for man. The above account clearly shows that Satan planned to set his throne above the stars of God. Saints are the stars of God. Angels are also stars. God created angels in heaven and man on earth. God must have informed his angels about his plans to create mankind on earth. Man was to have dominion over all other creatures based on Gen. 1v. 28. Satan wanted to rule over mankind contrary to the will of God. He thought he was too beautiful to be under mankind, or any other being, even God himself.

Satan also strongly wanted to be God, the Most High! Satan aims at overthrowing God and sitting on his throne. Though Satan has failed in his plans since the beginning, he still believes that somehow God can make a mistake which would lead to his defeat. All demons share the same vision with the devil. Because of this, there shall be spiritual battle on this universe till the end of this age.

Satan’s Legal Rights

Satan understands authority very well. For him to operate, he must have a claim in the place or person he wants to dominate. When God created Adam and Eve, he created them in his image, as in Gen. 1v. 27. They were perfect and God blessed them. The blessings in Gen. 1v. 28 mean that Satan had no legal right to rule over the earth. Man was to rule over everything. However, Satan wanted the position and authority God had given to man.

Satan planned to trick Adam and Eve to give him permission to rule over them. This was only possible if they fell into sin. And they did! The devil tricked Eve and she ate the forbidden fruit. Adam ate the fruit willfully. At this point, Satan began to rule over this universe. In Gen. 3vv. 16-19, we see God cursing both Adam and Eve. This was the beginning of God’s curses on mankind.

These curses are Satan’s legal rights to attack the Kingdom of God. Whenever you sin, you open a gate for Satan to enter and attack you. Ps. 109v. 6 says that God sets Satan at the right hand of the sinner to oppose him. Rev. 9vv. 1-11 shows that God will permit multitudes of demons to attack sinners during the tribulation period. Satan’s legal rights are permissions granted by God to attack sinners. Rev. 19v. 6 says that God reigns. It may appear that Satan is reigning, but the truth is that God reigns. Satan operates by God’s permission. Satan knows very well that God reigns and that his time is short. Even with this knowledge, Satan still opposes God.

Even agents of Satan know that God is reigning. They know that unless God permits, they cannot attack anyone and overcome him. In Num. 24vv. 1-2, we read that when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not result to sorcery as at other times, but turned his face towards the desert. When he saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him and he uttered his oracle. Balaam was both a prophet of God and a sorcerer. He only sent demons to attack people God was not pleased to bless.

Where a sin exists, a curse exists and so demons will attack. Demons will attack either because of personal or ancestral sins based on Exod. 20v. 5. This is why Jer. 14v. 20 encourages people to confess their personal and ancestral sins. Later in this book, you shall practically learn how to break Satan’s legal rights. Meanwhile, let us go through the 59 biblical curses by which Satan and his cohorts derive their authority to destroy mankind:

As in Gen. 12v. 3 and Num. 24v. 9, those who curse and mistreat the Jews.

As in Josh. 9vv. 22-23 and Jer. 48v. 10, those against willing deceivers.

As in Num. 5v. 27, those on adulterous women.

As in Deut. 11v. 28 and Dan. 9v. 11, disobedience to the Lord’s commands.

As in Jer. 44v. 8 and Deut. 29vv. 18-20, idolatry.

As in Deut. 7v. 25 and Josh. 6v. 18, those who keep cursed objects.

As in Judges 5v. 23, refusing to come to the Lord’s help.

As in Prov. 3v. 33, house of the wicked.

As in Prov. 28v. 27, refusing to give to the poor.

As in Isa. 24vv. 3-6, the earth because of man’s disobedience; ...
