No. While Satan is powerful, described as the “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4) and “a roaring lion seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:6-11), we are not given any scriptural indication he has been granted such power. We know God and Jesus can [...]
Before Satan was Satan, he was a glorious being: Isaiah 14:12: (KJV) “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”Being a “son of the morning” (or as [...]
The Christian is NEVER instructed or encouraged by the Bible to study demonology. It is our deeply held conviction that people should not go looking into these types of subjects out of curiosity, because darkness is dark and darkness is subtle.God has revealed through [...]
A divine encounter should not be expected or wished for, as it is never promised to the Christian. We are to follow by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).Colossians 2:18, (CEV) “Don’t be cheated by people who make a show of acting humble [...]
Since God is a spirit being, we don’t really know, because humans cannot see spirit beings. There were times in the Bible when spirit beings created a human-like body to communicate with people. But what the people saw was a temporary human image, not [...]
Evil spirits are spirit beings that, through disobedience to God, were cast out of God’s favor and light and into darkness. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as “fallen angels.” The first of these beings to disobey God was Lucifer. The scriptures [...]
In Mark 1:21-26, Jesus cast out demons. In Matthew 10:1, Jesus also gave the apostles power to cast out demons. In Mark 9:28,29, after the disciples were unable to cast out a demon, Jesus said, "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by [...]
1 Peter 3:18-20 (KJV), “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened (made alive) by the Spirit: By which also he went and [...]
When Jesus was begotten by God, he was an angel. He was called the Logos (the Word) of God. God and the Logos created everything and every being together. John 1:3 (NKJV), “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made [...]
1 Peter 3:18-20 (ESV), 18 “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimed [...]
Jesus taught that angels can see God. "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven." Matthew 18:10 (NKJV)Micaiah the prophet [...]
No. Angels are spirit beings and they inhabit a spirit realm. They do not live in the natural universe that we see. When God directed the creation of earth and of man, the Logos and the other sons of God (the angels) rejoiced in the [...]

Isaiah 66:7-8 (NIV), “Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or [...]
God, Satan and the angels ARE souls. God speaks and identifies Himself as a soul in Isaiah 42:1, “Behold my servant whom I uphold; mine elect in whom My soul delights…" God is the author of all life, including the angels. Job 12:10, “In whose [...]
It can be either or both. When Adam sinned and was cast out of Eden, the Lord told him: “Cursed is the ground because of you,” Genesis 3:11. God had specially prepared the garden for man and man could have had everlasting life. The area outside the garden, [...]
