III. DEMONIC ANGELS
[Hebrews 1:13,14]
As angels are
sent to minister to us, so the fallen angels (demons) are sent to
aggravate and
persecute us.
[Ephesians 6:12]
Paul says “we
fight not against flesh and blood (humans) but against POWERS
AND PRINCIPALITIES
in high places (the second heaven).
PRINCIPALITIES….An area ruled by a prince that falls into (or within)
a larger area such as an
empire.
Satan rules and is the power in the second heaven.
Like the military,
the demons are in ranks so the Princes are under satan the King
of the demons. They are given
certain parts of the earth to rule over but must
eventually report back to the
Chief power that is satan. Satan was given
this earth
to rule but just as we saw in Job he must report back to God! God will only let
him
go so far and no farther. God can limit him but you can’t (except) “you
submit yourself
to God, resist him, and he will flee from you”.
YOU CAN NOT BIND
SATAN as that is the Angel Michael’s job which he will
perform in due time!
There are two kinds of activity we will deal with in this lesson, Oppression and Possession.
