First, understand that much of the Word of God is what many Christians consider ‘descriptive, imaginative language’, but in the spirit realm things that wouldn’t be possible in the natural realm ‘is’ in the spirit realm, and ‘is’ truly and in reality just how it is and what it is.
LIST OF: THESE ARE ARTICLES THAT YOU MUST READ. THEY WILL FASCINATE, INSTRUCT, BLESS, BRING GOD’S PRESENCE, AND CHANGE YOUR SITUATION
The Devil and his demons are evil to the core, and getting more and more wicked with each passing day because of desperation. They think and hope that anything evil they can do that will delay or block Christ’s coming, will buy them time, and keep them out of the ‘LAKE OF FIRE’.

It won’t work, but they’re trying. Christ’s seeming delay in His coming is to reach as many people as he can, and especially backsliders who once walked with Him.
Satan know that Jesus loves His people so much and if he can keep them in a backslidden state he hopes to delay, and delay, and delay Christ’s coming, and to some degree it’s working, but only for a while.
READ: FAITH CHANGES EVERYTHING
That’s why he fights Christians so hard, so fiercely, and just won’t give up. You rebuke him, and command him to leave you alone, and he leaves you for a while.
but he watches you, studies you, and comes with another plot and plan to cause you to become discouraged, embittered, and then to lose your faith.
His ultimate prize however is to recapture the souls of all those who he has caused to backslide or make lukewarm and then while backslidden kill them and take them to hell.
Now, if you hope to win in your battle against Satan, it is important to get all darkness out of you. Know this, that the powers of Darkness are just that, they really are ‘DARKNESS’ personified.
If your spiritual eyes were opened you would see them dwelling in dense darkness (except when they are deceptively coming to you as an angel of light, it is a deceptive light to make you think it is God, or a true angel of light.
READ: SELFISHNESS. THE GREAT SLAYER OF ALL GOOD RELATIONSHIPS
WARNING: This may be hard to believe, but the spiritual believer is in the most dangerous position of any. He is committing himself to God in an intense way. He is fasting. He’s praying. He’s waiting on the Lord. He’s getting into the Word.

He couldn’t be deceived right? Listen carefully to me, my dear brother/sister in the Lord. REMEMBER demons are creatures of darkness, and all their thoughts and deeds of lying, murder, stealing, and destroying are darkness at it’s worst.
Satan’s deception’s are woven into every lie he tells someone. That’s the reason all his other plans he puts into motion such as marriage breakups, sicknesses, stealing, fears, doubts, backsliding, and killing through car accidents and many such things have such a good chance of working.
But dear Friend, don’t let that happen.
As believers and Prayer Warriors, check everything out by the Word of God to see if it’s of God or of demonic origin. Try the spirits and see whether they are of God.
If we don’t, we are ignoring God’s Warning system and we will be deceived. Deception always harms the person deceived, and can be transferred to many in the sphere of his influence.

ALL SIN IS DARKNESS. REAL DARKNESS THAT CAN BE SEEN, AND CAN BE FELT IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT.
THAT DARKNESS IS DESTRUCTIVE, COMING FROM THESE SPIRIT BEINGS FROM THE SPIRIT REALM TO HUMAN BEINGS IN THE NATURAL REALM.
That darkness is affecting humans in their bodies, souls, minds, wills, emotions, and desires, and affecting all their interactions in all their relationships.
You and I after receiving Christ as our Savior, then need to ‘Put on the whole armor of God’.
WHY?
So we can stand against the wiles of the devil…” (Eph 6:11) You must put on the whole armor of God if you are to be protected from the enemy. But, also know this. You can’t put the armor of God on over darkness that you’ve allowed to stay in your life. You must first deal with that darkness.

WHAT IS DARKNESS? IT IS SINS OF ALL KINDS.
IT IS FEAR, IT IS DOUBT, IT IS UNBELIEF, IT IS BITTERNESS, IT IS UNFORGIVENESS, IT IS IMMORALITY, and on and on.
SO WHAT CAN I DO?
CONFESS YOUR SINS AND (REPENT). In so doing you fall out of agreement with the ‘Powers of Darkness’, and then command them to leave your life, your relationships, your mind, your emotions, and your will.
READ: IS DELIVERANCE A DIRTY WORD
Get into the Word and check every thought, every feeling, every emotion, every spiritual experience, and every spirit being even when they seem to come in the purest of light, to keep you from being deceived.
The Bible says in I John 4:1-5 “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of God…”
READ: THE IMPORTANCE OF TONGUES
Beloved, Satan cannot stand the ‘LIGHT’, the true light which is Christ Himself which radiates the purest brightest holy, righteous, and redeeming light.
The light of Christ shines through us and is manifested through holy attributes, in genuine Believers.
That light is manifested in Love, faith, hope, faithfulness, joy, gentleness, peace, compassion, reliability, self-control, and is something that the Powers of Darkness hate and have no compatibility with, and can not defeat.
So don’t listen to his voice and cave in and exchange these godly attributes for the works of the flesh, or fear, doubt or the very opposite of these qualities.
Patience, and encouraging bro’s/sis’s in the Lord, Loving God’s House, loving worship, and praise unto our God, and reaching out to the lost is all light, and light overcomes darkness.

THESE ARE ALL ATTRIBUTES OF THE TRUE LIGHT AND SATAN AND HIS DEMONS ARE DARKNESS AND CAN’T GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO ATTACK YOU AS LONG AS YOU STAY CLOSE TO GOD. STAYING CLOSE TO GOD IS STAYING IN THE BRIGHTEST OF ALL LIGHTS.
(I Timothy 6:15-16) “Which the blessed and only Sovereign One — the King of kings — and Lord of lords (referring to Jesus Christ) — will bring about in His own time. He alone is immortal and lives for ever, and dwells in ‘UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT’…”
In the beginning, before time was, the Word, who was with God and was God, came down in the fullness of time and became our Savior, and was named Jesus who became a flesh and blood man (The God-Man).
This he did so He could die for us on the cross of Calvary (paying the debt of sin that we owed) but forever were unable to pay.
When He died for us He paid the price for our redemption through His precious blood. Now, all who are willing to turn from their sins and receive Jesus Christ into their hearts as Lord and Savior are given eternal life.
(John 1:4) “In Him (the Word, who is, Jesus Christ) was, and is life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness doesn’t understand it, is not receptive to it, and can never overcome it.
If you are a Christian, and are attempting Spiritual Warfare with darkness in you, you will not only not succeed, but you will become a casualty of war. Remember, all sin is darkness and if you don’t deal with it, you are in danger if you do spiritual warfare.
All things such as uncontrolled anger, lust, jealousy, bitterness, fear, adultery, gossip, a critical spirit, worldliness, pride, a haughty spirit and such, is Darkness in you (they are the works of the flesh). If you are really sincere you will take these things to the Lord and ask for His help.
(Heb. 4:16I) “Let us come boldly (confidently) unto the Throne of Grace that we may obtain ‘Mercy’ and find ‘Grace’ to help in time of need”
At God’s throne we will obtain mercy and find grace to overcome these sins (elements of darkness), and find the grace to step out of the darkness into God’s light.
(I John 1:7) “If we walk in the ‘LIGHT’ as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the ‘BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST’ His Son cleanses us from all sin”.
Notice, the word ‘IF’. If we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another and (and then, and then only), as we walk in the light, does the blood cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. We’re cleansed from all sin when we determine to walk in the light and then when we act upon that determination..
What does it mean to walk in the Light?
It means to walk in the Spirit, to walk by faith, to walk in love, to walk in understanding, to walk in wisdom, to walk in loving obedience to God and His Word. Yes, and it even means to walk in the Fear of the Lord, which is a fountain of life to escape the snares of death (which is sin).
(John 8:12) Jesus said, “I am the light of the world, he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”.
When you get the darkness out of you, then you can truly be a Great Warrior for God, and a powerful and effective Intercessor.
THEN THE (DEVIL AND HIS DEMONS) CAN THROW THEIR FIERY DARTS AT YOU, BUT IF YOU ARE ACTIVELY USING YOUR SHIELD OF FAITH, IT WILL QUENCH ALL THESE ARROWS OF DOUBT, AND FEAR, AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS.
NOW THAT YOU’RE WALKING IN THE LIGHT, darkness has no more place in you, and YOU WILL HAVE TOTAL VICTORY IN JESUS CHRIST YOUR LORD (I Cor 15:57)
