When God cast Satan down to the earth with a third of the angels (Revelations 12:4). God put them here because Satan thought he was more powerful than God, so the angels that followed Satan were also put here.
God's intentions were not for us to be punished here, He had built the beautiful Garden of Eden for us to dwell in and placed one of His Cherubim, whose name was Lucifer, to guard the garden and His new creation, mankind (Ezekiel 28:11-19). However, Lucifer (now known as Satan) had other plans, he wanted to corrupt man and turn them away from God. So he deceived Adam and Eve at the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden them to eat of (Genesis 2:15-17), and Satan convinced them to eat of that fruit, so they would gain wisdom.
Genesis 3:1-6 NKJV
3 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
For this they were banned and cast out from the garden, never to return. On this day is when God made the earth where Satan and his army would live amongst humans. This was the start of sin and the corruption of evil.
God gives everything He creates free will, it was no different with Satan and the angels that followed him than it was for us because we followed into the deceit of his corruption. God never wanted us to be robots that obeyed His every calling, what He did and does want are people who love and follow Him of their own will. This is why we have a choice to be good or to be evil and to follow God through Salvation or to follow the ways of the world, which is evil, corrupt, and will eventually kill and destroy you. Jesus reassures us in this scripture in John.
John 10:7-10 NKJV
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.
The earth is a place where we are to learn and be taught by God the difference between good and evil through scripture, He has given us a way out of the evil by bringing His Son, Jesus Christ, here to save us from sin and death. By doing this, God has brought forth a people who will worship and love Him by their own free will. He wants a people that will love, honor, respect, and be a family with Him for all eternity. God created Heaven for us to be with Him and those we love throughout all time. He is calling us, especially in these latter times, as He is making a New Heaven and a New Earth, which He needs our help in building this great kingdom of saints.
God's army and Satan's army are always at war, this is the spiritual battle that we fight. This is also where bondage comes in, as Satan wants us to be of non-effect in building up God's kingdom. This puts us in a spiritual war that most Christians do not understand.
God did not leave us here without the knowledge of the weapons of warfare. He started by giving us His only Son, Jesus to save us from this evil world, making it possible for us to live with Him forever. When Jesus left the earth, Jesus said that the Comforter would come, this is God's beautiful Spirit to comfort us and to give us the power and strength to cast out all the evil that wants to rule our lives.
How do you know when the devil is bothering you? He will whisper things in your ears to tell you to do evil things. He will make you have evil feelings about others, and he will give you sicknesses, mental problems, or you will feel something is not right in your house and you will feel the evil around you. You have a hard time reading the Bible and don’t feel you are close enough to God. The devil is out to separate us from God in any way He can. Once we have Jesus in our hearts He cannot separate us from God, but he can make us feel that we are.
Once you are saved and have asked the Holy Spirit to work through you He gives you gifts that will ward off the devil. The ONLY way to get rid of evil spirits is through the mighty name of Jesus and there is no other way.
The Bible tells us exactly what to do to rid ourselves of satan and we are to follow the way the Bible tells us.
I am suggesting that if you are being tormented or bothered by the devil, it is essential for you to read all of Matthew and Acts. The Bible is our guidebook for life. If you are having problems and you want us to speak with you and show you how to conquer the devil our email addresses are deliveredfrombondage21@gmail.com or iamhomeministry@gmail.com and we will get back to you, as soon as we can. As we continue this blog we will explain how to get rid of the demons that are bothering you and give an explanation of how you can pray and take authority over your family, individuals, and how to rid your house of unwanted guests.
Our family has been ministering deliverance for 50 plus years. God taught us we did not learn from men we learned from our wonderful God. He has always made sure we were protected and showed us through prayer and the bible, how to be protected when we ministered. He has stood by us all these years and you will never know the freedom you can have until you know how wonderful our God is.
