Do you have any idea who and what we're dealing with standing in our way, hindering our faith and trying to keep us from reaching a successful end to our time on this earth?
From the day that Adam and Eve disobeyed their Creator, until God destroyed the extreme wickedness and evil, was only about 1656 years from original creation.
And that was all that mankind lasted from Adam to Noah, except for Noah and his family after God destroyed the earth and all the creatures that were destroyed from the flood.
We know from Genesis that the reason God destroyed the Earth was that the evil was so great, that all they ever thought about doing was evil continuously.
And Jesus said that it would be like the days of Noah again before he returned.
But let's talk about what REALLY caused the wickedness to become SO bad that God had to literally destroy His very own creation?
We find it in the book of Enoch in chapter 6, and ironically, we find the account in Genesis, chapter 6 as well.
A group of 200 angels came down from the heavens after lusting for the beauty they saw in the earth women, and mated with them, and impregnated them which resulted in GIANTS... and that's why, in chapter 15 of the book of Enoch, He wrote what God said regarding the angels....
You were formerly 7 spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. 8 And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon 9 the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; 10 they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. [As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless 12 hunger and thirst, and cause offenses. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.
Jesus told the disciples “Watch out! Don’t let anyone fool you! Matthew 24:4
The apostle Paul said, 9 Don’t you know that unrighteous people will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t delude yourselves — people who engage in sex before marriage, who worship idols, who engage in sex after marriage with someone other than their spouse, who engage in active or passive homosexuality, 10 who steal, who are greedy, who get drunk, who assail people with contemptuous language, who rob — none of them will share in the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you used to do these things. But you have cleansed yourselves, you have been set apart for God, you have come to be counted righteous through the power of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
19 Don’t you know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who lives inside you, whom you received from God? The fact is, you don’t belong to yourselves; 20 for you were bought at a price. So use your bodies to glorify God. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
12 Watch out, brothers, so that there will not be in any one of you an evil heart lacking trust, which could lead you to apostatize from the living God! 13 Instead, keep exhorting each other every day, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you will become hardened by the deceit of sin. 14 For we have become sharers in the Messiah, provided, however, that we hold firmly to the conviction we began with, right through until the goal is reached. Hebrews 3:12-14
The apostle Paul wrote to young Timothy and said, The Spirit expressly states that in the last days some people will apostatize (abandon the truth) from the faith by paying attention to deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 1 Timothy 4:1
Then, beside these evil spirits, we also have what Paul told us in Ephesians, 12 We're are not struggling against human beings, but against the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. 13 So take up every piece of war equipment God provides; so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist; and when the battle is won, you will still be standing. Ephesians 6:12-13
What's the answer,.... So, what's the way we OVERCOME all of these evil spirits coming against mankind and us as Christians, as Jesus encouraged us to do?
First, we MUST be born again. We must have the Holy Spirit in us and we must "abide in Him" and know His Word.
We can't survive the enemies onslaught by having only a "form of religion." It must be a REAL relationship with the Son of God... Yeshua/Jesus
That is the ONLY way we will overcome these "evil spirits", and satans forces. We cling to the Lord tighter than peanut butter on the roof of your mouth. And we trust in Him... till the day we leave this world.
Jesus told us... 33 “I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris. But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
