THE REALITY OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD
"The devil…. is a murderer…"
"The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy …"
(John10:10);
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12)
The Bible reveals the unmitigated viciousness of the invisible, demonic world, and it is difficult for us to envisage absolute, unmixed wickedness, with not even a shadow of goodness and mercy.
These powers have only one goal and purpose: to harass, torment, wound and break down man as
much as possible, in order to make our lives on earth an unbearable suffering and finally draw us down into eternal darkness and agony.
The battle of Jesus Christ on the cross was against this vicious, infernal murderer and his host of wicked demonic forces – the greatest and most decisive battle ever fought on planet earth.
If our Lord had lost this battle all would have been lost forever for mankind and creation and the darkness of evil would have covered everything, drawing us down into eternal perdition and anguish.
On the cross darkness and Light, evil and Good fought an enormous, cosmic battle that no physical eye could see – but there "the Lion of Judah" conquered and broke every chain that has fettered mankind.
Therefore, there is full and complete redemption in His precious blood.
Now it is the task of the Church to complete this conquest by attacking the stongholds of the devil and plunder him of his unlawful property of precious souls.
If we do not clothe ourselves with the immense powers of Him, who has overcome all this infernal evil, we will stand helpless in this terrible, spiritual battle.
As servants of the Lord, we must be aware of the reality of the invisible world and know how to use all our spiritual weapons to combat these forces and liberate their victims!
