Demons

Demons are fallen angels who serve Satan. It's in the Bible, Revelation 12:9, NIV. "The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

Demons are powerful, but limited by God. It's in the Bible, Mark 1:27, NIV. The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, 'What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey Him."

Jesus can exercise authority over demons. It's in the Bible, Luke 4:35-36, NIV. "'Be quiet!’ Jesus said sternly. 'Come out of him!' Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him. All the people were amazed and said to each other, 'What is this teaching? What authority and power He gives orders to evil spirits and they come out!'"

How are demons present today? The enemy is unseen, but the battle is real and personal. It's in the Bible, Ephesians 6:12, NIV. "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

If we submit to God and resist Satan, he (Satan) will flee. It's in the Bible, James 4:7, NIV. "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
