I know that many people will
probably look at the title of this article and think “What does that have
to do with Demonology?” It actually has a great deal to do with it. It is
only through the power of God and Jesus Christ that you can successfully
expel demons and keep them out of homes or people. If a person does not
believe in God then they will not be able to successfully expel a demon
from a home or person.
The existence of God has been
questioned by many people. The most common excuses that people will use
for the non-existence of God is; If there is a God why does he let so many
innocent people in the world suffer?, and I don’t believe in God because I
have cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc.
Some people also say that they don’t
believe in God simply because they can’t see, or touch Him. It is sad to
say that those reasons are the most potent weapons unbelievers have. I say
sad because these questions can be easily answered if one knows how to do
it. I’ll address these questions one by one. First off, if there is a God
why does he let so many innocent people suffer? Okay, the first thing
everyone needs to understand is that no one is innocent in the eyes of
God. Born again Christians aren’t even innocent, we are just forgiven. We
are all sinners because we are born into a sinful world and we ourselves
are born sinners because we carry the seed of sin within us. That is just
one of many reasons why no one is innocent in the eyes of
God.
Secondly, I don’t believe in God
because I have cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. God often inflicts
diseases or other things on people and families just to try and get them
to come to Him, or strengthen their faith in Him. My own mother was
diagnosed with the worst cancer that you can have and on top of that it
was already at stage four because she had it for a year and a half before
it was diagnosed. The cancer doctor told my mom that she only had 6 months
to a year to live. When my family and church found out we prayed and
prayed for her and the good Lord heard our prayers. She is now cured! That
is just an example of how the infliction of a disease can bring you closer
to God and or strengthen your faith in Him.
Finally, there is the matter of
people who say they don’t believe in what they can’t see or touch. I’ll
address this by saying two things. Number one, we can’t see the wind, but
it blows. We know that it is there because we see it blowing the trees and
we feel it. Yet it is invisible. Something is moving the trees and
touching us, we feel it but we don’t see it. Secondly, love itself is
something that we can’t see or touch but we know that it exists. We love
our parents, siblings, wife or husband, children, grandchildren, etc. but
it’s not something that they see or can touch. Some of the most real
things in this world are the things that we can’t see or touch. Those are
just some very basic answers to those very common questions, and
beliefs.
The proof of God’s existence is all
around us. The sun, moon, and stars in the sky. All of the different
seasons of the year; spring, summer, fall, and winter. The way trees grow
and how caterpillars change into butterflies. All of these are just some
of the ways that God has shown us that he does indeed exist. The Bible
even says that all of these things are proof of his existence so no man
has any excuse for not believing in Him. (Romans, Chapter 1, verse 20)
Just sit back for a few minutes and seriously think about what I’ve
written here, or just look out your window and look at all of the things
I’ve described. Do you honestly believe that everything we know about
today including ourselves was created by the “Big Bang” theory that some
scientist believe in? Or that we crawled out of the primordial ooze and
“evolved” from that, or even apes? Even if you just sit back and think
about how incredibly complex our bodies are you know we couldn’t have
evolved from ooze or apes. We were created. Speaking of science, did you
know that over the last two decades archeologists have proven more and
more that everything in the Bible is, or was true? When the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the 1940’s they
backed up EVERYTHING that is written in the Bible. Then there’s the fact
that archeologist and ancient texts have proven that Jesus Christ was in
fact a real person. Of course Christians already knew and believed that he
was, but many people did not.
I would like to encourage everyone
to read their Bible, and if you don’t have a Bible then I encourage you to
borrow one from a friend or relative or buy one. It would be a great
investment. Once you have found, borrowed, or bought one then sit down and
read it. Start at the beginning and take your time, it will answer a lot
of questions including the most common ones. Just remember that the Old
Testament is basically predicting, and prophesying the birth of Christ,
his deeds, works, etc.

you have any questions but do not know whom to ask then please feel free

helped some, or maybe even helped you to start thinking some about what I
have written
here.
