It's so sad to see how many professing Christians have no idea what's really going on in the spirit realm, and they are not being taught the truth by those that oversee them. Even those who pastor the Lord's sheep in many congregations across the world don't have the knowledge or wisdom from above to teach the people they lead!
It's truly as the Lord Jesus said in: Matthew 15:13-14
"But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”For instance, look at what satan (an evil, spirit being) is able to do.
Job 1:6-7
"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and satan also came among them. And the Lord said to satan, “From where do you come?” So satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
So ask yourself this question. If satan is able to appear before the Lord God Himself on His throne in Heaven, and have a conversation, like you would have with your close friend or family member. Isn't he able to appear in your home, your job, the grocery store, the church building, the elementary school, the White House, the Synagogue, the Mosque, or where ever else he wants to appear? The answer is YES HE CAN!
And I do believe he already has, many times! He come's inside the bodies of mass murderers, suicide bombers, and wolves in sheep's clothing!
The scripture says clearly that satan was walking to and fro, back and forth, ON THE EARTH!
He has done this for millenia! Another case in point is the Lord's Supper.
John 13:26-27
Take the above scripture literally, and meditate on it! The scripture clearly says, 'satan entered him', what does that mean? Exactly what it says! The evil being, the fallen angel, the devil, the serpent, the adversary, simply walked inside the body of Judas Iscariot and used it to betray Jesus! How is this possible?
Jesus said to His disciples, 'have I not chosen you the twelve, yet one of you is a devil', Judas was already a devil and an open door for satan to influence and use any time he wanted to!
It's the same thing the Holy Spirit can do while indwelling true believers, He can lift up and use the body of a true Christian anytime He wants to for God's purposes!
A good cinematic illustration of this is in the first Matrix when Morpheus was showing Neo in the construct, how the agents could physically enter anybody at anytime, take them over and use their bodies for whatever purposes they wanted!
"Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself."
Notice how the scripture says, when Judas understood what he had done, he went and hanged himself!
Matthew 27:3-5
So do you see how much you can be influenced and USED by satan to do his will!
This is why the body of Christ NEEDS all the ministry gifts that Jesus Himself gave to the church, and ALL the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit functioning in the body of Christ as God intended.
If we have the spiritual gifts, wisdom, knowledge, and the leading of God's Spirit, we will not be destroyed, and we will not be ignorant of the devil's schemes, and we will know when he's walking amongst us, because there will be spiritual discernment and the knowledge of God in daily operation!
In Jesus,
