ONCE DELIVERED, FOREVER DELIVERED 

A CASE OF RETURNING DEMONS 

We establish in our previous article that demons are originally fallen angels who rebelled against God's order and were cast into Abyss as punishnmnet for their rebellion.

WITNESSES IN THE BIBLE FOR THE ABOVE TRUTH

NUMBER ONE WITNESS

"And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. Revelations 20:1-5

NUMBER TWO WITNESS  

Apostle Peter said in  2. Peter's 2:4-6

"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;"

The original place reserved for these fallen angel is a place called Abyss and they are kept there for judgement. This truth is further emphasised by the story of the mad man of Gerasenes when he encountered Jesus Christ.

NUMBER THREE WITNESS

"They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned" Luke 8:26-34

QUESTION

If Hell is the original habitation ordained by God for evil spirits and demons, how did they find themselves on earth and then live inside man.?

This question can be answered through the life of King Saul in the Old Testament. The Word of God showed that when prophet Samuel anointed Saul as King over Israel, the Spirit of God came on him and he prophesied as one of the prophets. 

"The Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you."

1 Samuel 10:6

The people thought he had become a priphet. Prophesying does not make you a prophet ; a prophet occupies an office and is a Spokesman for God.

But another account showed that another force and an evil spirit came on King Saul  that needed the intervention of a worship  minister in the person of David to save the King from the torment from this evil spirit. 

The Bible says ' the Spirit of God departed from King Saul and an evil spirit took over. We knew it was an evil spirit because the Bible said so and the demon manifested a characteristic that does not consonant with the nature of the Holy Spirit. 2 Sam. 16:14-18

A man who is under the control and influence of the Holy Spirit will not seek to harm, kill and destroy another believer  even in the face of provocation. It is the ministry of Satan to steal, kill and destroy. 

When a Child of God  has the habit of harming and attempting to kill through prayers  those who offends them, let's not deceive ourselves, they are helping Satan to carry out his agenda on Earth.

Our LORD Jesus Christ died and resurrected that men and women who believe Him will have eternal life.

The second witness of this occurrence is in the Garden of Eden where Satan was first mentioned . He disgusted as the serpent in the Garden to deceive Adam and Eve.

They rebelled against God by disobeying His command. 

Therefore the Bible says they died. The kind of death is identified as a spiritual death which is separation from God.

HOW ARE YOU CONNECTED  DIRECTLY TO GOD.
