The Dwelling Place of Demons

By Pete Wilson

-------------- BibelSvar: Posts A - Z -------------- 

This will be a very tough teaching for many but it needs to be told as ignorance is spiritually killing the people of God.  My purposes in this post is to wake some people up.  A little shock value on a very taboo but true subject may be just the ticket.  When you finish reading this, if your fear of the Lord has been enhanced,  then I would have accomplished my goal.  We must seek Jesus earnestly while the door to the ARK of HIS COVENANT is open.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near

The prophecies that Babylon would be a dwelling place of demons was foretold in Scripture long before we get to the book of Revelation.  Please read the Scriptures in fuller context than the high points I will show you.  I am going to cover a lot of ground on God’s righteous judgments that is all interrelated.   You will be amazed how it all ties together and was revealed to us long ago.  God did indeed declare the end from the beginning, we just have not had the eyes to see it until recently.

Despite recent natural disasters and an obviously darkening sinful world around us;  many continue to scoff and mock at the judgments God is bringing upon this earth and its sinners.  These scoffers include most Christians who are without understanding on key biblical truths about the sovereignty of the Lord and a most important corollary which is that God sends the enemy and brings all disaster to His people.  They don’t know these things because they are still in the flesh and God only reveals His secrets to those that truly follow Him.  This may seem arrogant to you but it’s not,  my eyes were opened by God only when I sought Him earnestly and came to mourn and weep over my sin.  Jesus spoke to the multitudes yet none of them understood His Word as their hearts had not been prepared by repentance which is required to make the land fallow so the Word can take root.

Mark of the Beast

The things of God are a mystery and the powers of darkness and how God uses them is the mystery of inequity spoken of in the Scriptures.  This mystery is how the nature of Satan is made manifest in the flesh of those that spurn and reject the truth of God’s Word.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

We are way past the great falling away as great apostasy has taken hold in modern-day church circles.  The true church has come out and is coming out of Babylon as the Spirit of God moves in greater power in preparation for the return of the King.  The God that most “Christians” now worship is the image of the beast, or Satan that is spoken about in Revelation 13.  Labels and forms of godliness and religion do not point to the real Jesus.  Dying to self and carrying a cross points to the real Jesus, it is a very narrow way that is not pleasing to flesh and few choose to follow. Nobody fears this false Jesus that allows you to stay in your flesh and serve God while you simultaneously serve other gods and hold idols in your heart.  Lack of fear of the Lord is evidence one has the mark of the beast.  This mark on either your hand (sinful deeds) or your forehead (mind focused on lusts of the world) ,  indicates one walks after the flesh and is focused on self (“I, Me, My”) and your personal passions and desires.  Those with the Mark do not belong to Jesus Christ,  they are tares, fake Christians with forms of godliness or they have fallen away from the true faith.

Galatians 5:24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires

If you find yourself having this mark, all is not lost.  You were never really Born Again or you have fallen away in deep apostasy.  But unless you harden your heart so the word of God cannot wash you,  if you return to your Lord and repent in all sincerity,  God will take you back and if you have never known Him,  God will raise you up in newness of life.  All things will become new and all your past sins and false testimony as a fake christian will be forgiven and remembered no more.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away

We are told the false prophet would deceive the whole world into taking the mark.  It is a misconception that we are forced to take this mark.  People are deceived into taking it. 

Revelation 13:14 And he DECEIVES those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

The fire from heaven these false prophets bring (see Rev 13:13) is not a literal fire it is the counterfeit to the Holy Spirit, and includes things such as Holy Laughter, head shaking, false deliverance ministries,  slain in the spirit,  healings,  counterfeit tongues, new age mysticism and the like.  The Mark of the Beast comes about from all of this religious deception brought to Babylon by the very demons that dwell there.  We are there my friends,  this prophecy has already come and continues to be fulfilled.  Jesus will have come while people are reading science journals about some microchip implant.  Those looking in the flesh and natural for these signs are going to be miss them and may miss the Lord in the process.  Wake up.  With this foundation, let’s move into the more focused topic of the demonization of the fallen church.

I will weave through a number of the writings of the Prophets to draw out the spiritual language of the Scriptures and show how the Lord is working all things for His greater purposes, even sending an enemy and disaster upon His own creation.  The true Israel of God is still going to be here as the judgments of God manifest but if we come to know Christ,  we will be protected from the enemy in the wilderness.   The enemy brings about spiritual death that results from the “violence” they bring to the churches and ministries of men.    This violence is the perversion of God’s Word and omission of God’s law from church doctrine.  Scriptures tell us that the true Children of God, must die to self, crucify our flesh and the “old man”, otherwise we are not worthy of the Lord Jesus.  Flesh is our king until we put it to death and only then can Jesus really be Lord of our lives.  But this is not the message of the false jesus of Babylon.

The demons are now firmly entrenched and in complete control of the end time churches and all large popular ministries.  If you want to be succesful in deceiving the multitudes what better way than to first ensnare the leaders and the pastors and the teachers with false words.  The spirits of antichrist which are these demons were already in the world when John wrote his epistles.

1 John 4:3 This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world

Jesus was spot on correct, many deceivers have come and many (the vast majority) of Christians have been deceived.  Those that have come out of Babylon know this all too well.  Praise God for waking us up but the let the truth be told.  

The Enemy Invades Because of Sin

Jeremiah 40:3 The LORD has brought it on and done just as He promised. Because you people sinned against the LORD and did not listen to His voice, therefore this thing has happened to you.

We must get real clear on this.  We sin and God sends the enemy.  It is His righteous judgment.  Jesus did not come to take this enemy away or destroy the enemy.  Jesus came to destroy their “work”, which is the sin in our heart.  Jesus purifies our heart, when we follow Him and suffer in the flesh.  We resist for a little while and then the enemy flees once we prove our faith to the Lord.  Listen to the enemy speaking to you in the Scriptures; telling those in Babylon that they, the demons, have every right before God to be doing what they are doing.

Jeremiah 50:7  All who came upon them have devoured them; And their adversaries have said, ‘We are not guilty, Inasmuch as they have sinned against the LORD who is the habitation of righteousness

When we practice sin,  we open windows into our hearts and spiritual houses,  the temples of the Lord for the enemy to come inside and possess them.  Yes that is right,  call it being demonized,  having a demon, possessed or being oppressed.  The words men choose to describe this are not important, what is important is to understand who the demons are, who sends them and most importantly why they come.  

But there is good news.  When we stop sinning and obey God,  the Lord is faithful to deliver us from our captors and reinstate His hedge of protection.  But we must keep covenant and obey and walk in all of His statutes and commandments.  This truth about God and His covenant’s goes way back and has not changed.  Jesus came to give us a better way to overcome and walk the narrow road.

Deuteronomy 30:2-3 return to the LORD your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, ³ that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you.

The demons are the captors and those that practice sin are the prisoners.  This is who Jesus came to set free, the captives that are bound by sin and the demons that help keep us in bondage.  The key to get out of jail is to repent.  Repent (return) to the Lord and obey Him and you shall be delivered of the demons and will be set free (captivity) from the power of sin in your life.  That is why Jesus came and what true grace is all about.   God is merciful and will forgive us as prodigal sons, IF we return to Him.  God promises all that are His Israel that He would deliver us from our past sins and give us a pure heart, IF we trust Him and stay walking the narrow road being led by the Holy Spirit.  I have been and continued to be delivered from sin and these forces of evil.  Praise God.

Ezekiel 37:23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God

So many people are in bondage to the demons and are clueless because blind men have deceived them.  They say they are free with words but inside they are full of torment and mourning that the demons bring to those that are slaves to sin and the powers of darkness.

The Wrath of the Lord

God is patient with all of us, but like all the examples given to us in the Old Testament,  if we do not turn back and remain in our stiffed neck stubborn REBELLION to His covenant,  He sends His anger as retribution.  He is a jealous God and takes His Covenant very seriously.  It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness

The churches of the end times have repeated the very same error the original Israelites made.  They have stubbornly refused to obey God and honor His law.  We have forgotten what Jesus did for us,  and it wasn’t to forgive all sin past, present and future.  We are suppose to be Born Again from an old body dead to sin and then that new man is to become a holy and living sacrifice unto the Lord.  That means the new us is surrendered to the Lord and His will and is led wheresoever He shall lead and that is not into sin or the pursuit of the world.  If the rebellion continues,  the wrath of God is sent by a loving God to get His people’s attention and turn their hearts back to Him.  The Psalmists could just as easily have written this Psalm today.

Psalm 78:9-11 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.  They did not keep the covenant of God; they refused to walk in His law, and forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them.

People that persist in rebellion against God do not fear God.  This is a reoccurring theme in the Scriptures and is an easy way to spot whether one worships the true Lord or the image of the Beast that the demonic forces have installed in the harlot churches of Babylon.  Obedience has been made optional in Babylon, people just pretend to obey the Lord while their hearts go after the things in the world.  As Satan said to Eve, “Did God really say we would surely die if we ate off this tree” the enemy says to those in the flesh who love the easy grace given to them and the broad and easy way of salvation.

Jeremiah 5:23But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart; they have turned aside and departed. ’They DO NOT SAY in their heart,  Let us now fear the LORD our God

The image of God has been totally perverted in man’s Babylonian churches.  The Lord that most worship is the image of the Beast that has been set up and established by the enemy.  This is all part of God’s plan of judgment for those that rebel against His covenant. God sends delusion upon all that love their sin and choose to walk firstly after their flesh and simply add a little Jesus to the mixture.  The true gospel has departed and the one taught was introduced and promoted by the demons that dwell in Babylon.  As a result, the entire gospel most follow is nothing more than a series of doctrines of demons.  It is another gospel and points to a different jesus that the one that created this world and everything on it.  The foundational oracles of the true gospel, things such as faith, grace, love, suffering and overcoming have all been perverted into religious lies.  We are certainly at this point of Paul’s prophecy.

1 Timothy 4:1But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons

Eyes To See

Man’s church has kept believers in their flesh, cutting out the cross and our need to go there and DIE.  Because men stay in the flesh, they will not understand the things of God and will be ever learning but never able to come to knowledge of the real truth.  As has been hammered on this blog,  these deceptions and delusions are the righteous judgment of a Holy God who is seeking to turn the hearts of His people back to Him so He and not themselves, may save them from their sin and the wrath to come.  Jesus said that  the wise in the flesh would never ever see the truth hidden and only revealed to those that forsake the flesh and the ways of the world.

Luke 17  I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

Where is your heart?  This isn’t about being perfect, it is about seeking and desiring to be perfect out of Love for God.  As soon as we rationalize any sin as okay because it’s covered under grace,  we have just created an idol of something we love more than God.  But thankfully God does not stop there,  He has a plan to bring discipline and judgment upon us so we will take our idol and sin to the cross and die there with Him.

Fear of the Lord

The clearest indication someone’s heart  is in Babylon and does not know the real Jesus is the absence of the fear of the Lord.   Such fear is the foundation of all wisdom,  a topic where there are many posts in the INDEX tab on this blog for which I will only briefly recap below.  Many believe that God changed from the Old Testament to the new.  But we know that is a lie and a doctrine of a demons as God changes not and Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forevermore says the Scripture.  Man has changed who God is, God has not moved one bit from who HE is and His standard of righteousness remains exactly the same.

1 Peter 1  – It is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.” If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, CONDUCT YOURSELF IN FEAR during the time of your stay on earth

Almost nobody fears God anymore.  Unbelievers and most professing Christians alike scoff and mock at the judgments of God that are clearly spelled out in the Scriptures for those who have been given the eyes to see them.  Scoffers and mockers abound and so easily dismiss both the natural events and the spiritual happenings in the world right now.  While they can see into the natural they have no eyes to see the Kingdom of God on this earth and how Jesus is bringing judgment upon a rebellions house.  The churches of men, teach unbelief and counsel rebellion to the commandments of God and His Holy Covenant.  They are built on demonic doctrines that have secretly slipped amongst the brethren over the past 2,000 years. 

Ezekiel 12:2 Son of man, you live in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house

Those that have escaped Babylon and fled to God’s Holy Mountain of spiritual Mt. Zion know the deceived are without understanding as we ourselves were there before God woke us up.  So all that I am saying here is not judgment and my hope is something may spark you to see the truth so you too may be blessed by the grace of God and shown the way out of the apostasy that has ensnared the multitudes and is destroying their temples.  Most professing Christians, especially in Westernized countries, are dwelling quite securely in their self exalted position right on time just as the end time prophecies said they would.  Those in Babylon say peace when there is no peace and safety where there is no safety.  The judgment of God stands at their very door yet they are blinded by the god of this world (Satan) and the mighty army of demons that run what man calls church.  They don’t want to associate the calamities occurring in Japan, Haiti and New Zealand with God and remain fast asleep to the trumpets that have long been blowing.   But God is doing it.

Amos 3:6If there is calamity in a city, will not the LORD have done it?

Lamentations 3:38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both good and ill go forth?

The demons that have been poured out in God’s wrath,  the lions in Babylon now roar over their prey. This flesh “city” has fallen into enemy hands.  This whore harlot church and its congregations are  wise in their own eyes and their priests have brought unclean things into the sanctuaries.   These unclean things are the demons and the sinful desires and worldliness and all the things of the flesh.  The people in Babylon have invited the demons inside to sup with them and  the result is a defilement of the land by these many abominations.  God hates the abominations in our hearts yet God allows them as He always gives us the desires of our heart, whether to do good or to do evil.  This is the righteous judgment of a sovereign Lord who is seeking to purify for Himself a bride that is Holy and Blameless.  This is what the Lord says to those that dwell with these demons.

Zephaniah 3:1-3 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!  ²She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.  ³Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.  ⁴Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

Babylon is so very proud.  Those that sit under this harlot system of “church” are self exalted lacking  humility.  I say this myself knowing the battle we all face with pride.  I love my neighbors and simply want them to come to understand the truth so they can be set free.  This is not in judgment and our battle is not against flesh and blood.  Those in Babylon, the proud religious wise; DO NOT take correction, they have already arrived they say in their hearts.   They speak ”peace & safety” claiming  they will not be judged but the WORD says otherwise.  It is happening right now to those who have eyes to see it.

Revelation 18:7-8 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and WILL NOT SEE SORROW.’ ⁸ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her

This fire being sent is the wrath of God.  This wrath is the powers of darkness.  God has sent the enemy to bring delusion to those that rebel against His covenant.  The famine we know is not a famine of food but of hearing the Word of the Lord and being rained on by the Holy Spirit.  It has already started in His House.  Babylon is fallen and is already a dwelling place of demons.  The very demons have blinded those in the flesh to their very existence and the truth of their mission as clearly spelled out in the Scriptures yet hidden in parables so the wise men in the flesh will not see it.

Jeremiah 18:11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good

The law of God has been lost in Babylon.  They have forgotten about it despite Jesus saying He did not come to abolish one jot or tittle of His law.  Since flesh has not died,  Babylon is still under the law and is not under grace and they profane what grace, faith and love really mean to a holy and righteous God.  Ezekiel 7 speaks to God’s preordained plan of righteous judgment.

 Ezekiel 7:24-27 ‘Therefore, I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses.  I will also make the pride of the strong ones cease, and their holy places will be profaned. ²⁵‘When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none. ²⁶‘Disaster will come upon disaster and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders.  ²⁷‘The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their conduct I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the LORD.’”

This passage and others I will show you below tell you that the Lord God Almighty,  the Holy One of Israel,  Jesus Christ the King of Kings,  has already sent disaster upon the rebels to His Holy Covenant.  These disasters are coming in the spiritual and the judgment begins with God’s people.    The “worst of the nations” is a reference to the powers of darkness that God sends to enter into houses and steal the peace and truth from the hearts of unrepentant sinners.  The real judgment and defilement of the land is going on in the hearts of the rebellious people that call themselves Christians.  People are going to soon understand and know that Jesus is the Lord and is not their buddy that allows them to live in ongoing sin.  People that want to believe the lie that the Old Testament God has changed are deceived.  The Lord has always told of His character and while He loves us dearly He is a Holy and Righteous God.

Nahum 1:2  A jealous and avenging God is the Lord …  He reserves wrath for His enemies … and the Lord will by NO means leave the guilty unpunished.

When Babylon makes themselves a friend of the world and its lusts they have become an enemy of the Lord.  Now the plea of the Apostle John and James to not love the world or the things of the world can be better understood.  But people loved darkness more than the light and have not come out of the world into the light as their deeds would be exposed.  They remain in the harlot churches engaging in spiritual adultery walking double minded serving two masters.

James 4:4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

The wrath of God is all over Babylon and the people that partake of their deeds.  This is speaking to those that call themselves Christians.  They are the blind leading the blind, drunk with the delusion sent by God Himself via His instruments of indignation the powers of darkness.  Babylon is a dwelling place of demons and they are roaring in conquest over the congregation.

Psalm 74:3 Lift up Your feet to the perpetual desolations.   The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary. Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place

 The abomination of desolation spoken about by Daniel and mentioned by Jesus in His Olivet Discourse is already standing in the temples of the Lord.  The demons that dwell in Babylon have brought eternal desolation, they have defiled and profaned the land.  The locusts spoken of by Moses, Joel, Nahum and the Apostle John have destroyed the crops and brought spiritual famine of a magnitude that is sheer terror for those who can see it.

Joel 1:10  The field is ruined, the land mourns, for the grain is ruined, the new wine (true gospel) dries up, fresh oil fails.  Be ashamed O farmers, Wail O vinedressers, for the wheat and the barley; because the harvest of the field is destroyed.

The demons are invisible spirits that live inside of people, that is where they dwell.   Because of the great falling away,  the fear of men, people’s trust in Hollywood and 2,000 years of deceivers being inside the church and now completely in control of the harlot churches;  any true teachings about demons has been completely lost or abandoned.  Sadly, God’s people are being destroyed because of this ignorance.  They have forgotten about the war we must fight every day as true soldiers of Jesus Christ.

This Ezekiel 7 verse above, clearly says that the enemy will enter into and possess the houses.  The houses are the hearts of the people.  They have defiled hearts and are in bondage to their lusts and the desires of this world.  Flesh loves the nature of Satan and will oppose itself against the true gospel that requires it to go to the cross and die with Jesus.  Every jot and tittle of God’s law still stands and it is a promise from God that if you disobey His commands,  His wrath is going to be abiding on you and this is how we have almost the whole church fallen away and in bondage to the powers of darkness.

John 3:36 “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

Those clinging to the false gospel of perverted grace will be quick to counter with their twisted deception of ”I am saved by grace” and its twin that “I am not under the law but grace”.   But while those verses are absolutely true,  the little bit of leaven that has been hidden in their doctrine  perverts the truth and loses the law of God in the process.  You are under grace ONLY when you die to self – when the old man dies,  then and only then are you released from the law.  When your old man is dead,  you follow the Spirit of God, your new husband and do not sin and that is how one can say they are under grace and not the law.  That was the message Paul was using really conveying in this oft misunderstood passage.  

Romans 7:3-4 So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.  Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead

The new covenant gave us a superior way to avoid this wrath and torment and better promises;  but yet King Jesus has not changed the blessings and the curses that result from keeping or breaking His covenants.  The idea that a professing Christian cannot have a demon is a doctrine of a demon itself  — straight from the mouth of Satan.  I can’t segue into that here as this post is going to be very long as it is.  But know that deliverance from demons, getting them cast out of you is called the Children’s Bread.  You can read the story that illustrates this in Matthew 15.  People in covenant with God,  His true children is who deliverance is designed for, it is not for those outside of covenant, the dogs as the story illustrates.  There is no deliverance for non Christians, they belong to Satan and this world and nothing will ever set them free except a sincere repentance towards God and crying out for mercy from the only deliverer we have.  They must enter into Covenant to be eligible for deliverance.  If all the demons left when someone professes Christ then there was no need for Jesus to tell us we would cast out demons in His name.  Seems kind of redundant if they left automatically when someone was saved.

The only way to be set free is Jesus and if He sets you free you shall be free indeed from these captors.  You don’t need a man or a big ministry to be set free, you can seek it on your own if you believe in the promises of God and have surrendered your heart to the Lord, calling on His name in faith.

Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

Get yourself to the spiritual Mt. Zion and Spiritual Jerusalem and there will be freedom from the demons.  There are no demons on the Highway of Holiness as the Scriptures proclaim.

Isaiah 35:9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;  It shall not be found there.  But the redeemed shall walk there

Virtually all of the professing assembled western churches of today is “Babylon” and  is TOTALLY blind to the presence and control of the demons.  While some may believe in demons,  those most likely view the issue as something that is over in Africa or downtown in the red light district or in some far off place well away from their harlot church.  They simply have no idea how the Lord has been bringing  judgment to the rebellious.  Deceivers will naturally remove the powers of darkness from their doctrine and have created a totally unbiblical view of the Lord that is actually the image of the Beast. Paul told us in 1 Cor 10 that all the Old Testament examples were given to us so we would not fall away into deception and rebellion to God’s covenant.  In those examples, God tells us why He sends the demons to execute His wrath.

Deut 29:24 All nations would say, ‘Why has the LORD done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ ²⁵ Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; ²⁶ for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. ²⁷ Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book.

 It is because His people are violating the first and foremost commandment  — they are serving other gods.  They serve the flesh and its kings such as pride, greed, jealousy,  covetousness and unforgiveness.  The nature of Satan is flesh and our flesh is in perfect agreement with the powers of darkness unless it is put to death and we are raised anew (Born Again) by the power of the living God.  We provoke God to jealousy when we profess His name yet serve these gods staying in the flesh.  God’s response is to tell the demons to go “sick em”.  This is actually the love of God in action once you see it in its fullness; as a Holy God wants you to respond and turn your heart back to Him in fear and obedience.  This will bring understanding of verses such as this one that religious people walking after the flesh cannot understand.

Deut 28:63 It shall come about that as the LORD delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so the LORD will delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you will be torn from the land where you are entering to possess it.

Proverbs 1:25 Because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke,  I also will laugh at your calamity;  I will mock when your terror comes

Jesus has not changed and yes He still loves us and what the church needs to understand is the righteous judgment of God is an aspect of His great love for His people.  He is trying to turn you back to Him so you can enter His presence Holy and blameless as the Bride.  God wants your flesh dead so He can raise you up in the power of the Holy Spirit.  That is the same thing Paul referenced many times when he handed divisive people opposed to the true gospel over to Satan.

1 Cor 5:5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus

Since their teachers are deceivers that long ago secretly slipped in, we have the demons training pastors and running the seminaries that men go get educated on the things of God.  There is only one that is our teacher and all true revelation is only given us by God when we turn our hearts to Him.  The leaders of Babylon are spiritually blinded by the god of this world and are in turn  leading the spiritually blind straight to the pits of hell.  God’s watchmen have to wake up and start blowing their trumpets.  The wrath of God is already abiding on the sons of disobedience.  The double minded “christians” that sit under these harlot churches are in the flesh and despite all their attempts to seek the Lord are without understanding.  In fact some reading this very post will have a rise in their flesh and be vigoriously opposed to this truth.  I expect to get some darts thrown over it and lose a few subscribers.  If anyone has a problem with this,  then they really have a problem with the Lord and I pray you will seek wisdom and understanding that only He can give you.  We need to heed the admonishment of Paul to take every thought captive and stand in the victory we already have in Jesus Christ. 

If one is in the flesh,  one cannot see the kingdom of God at work.  Paul said this would happen in the end as people would be always learning but never able to see the truth.

2 Tin 3:6-7 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, ⁷ always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Demons Are Curses Sent By God

Deut 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. ⁴⁶ And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.

Jesus became a curse for us at Calvary and we escape these curses and are under the Lord’s protection ONLY IF AND WHEN  we keep covenant with Him.  This means we obey Him. Evil spirits are sent by the Lord to possess people’s houses and if we willfully disobey and sin (rebel against His Covenant),  God sends the enemy to bring judgment in hopes of turning us back.   I recall a lively discussion by a local woman’s bible study group that were shocked when they ran across this Scripture and of course it was explained away as being some kind of mental disease and the writers back then just did not know what to call it.

1 Samuel 19:9 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul

Ha Ha Ha,  the demons are roaring in laughter knowing they have their prey when people do not even believe they exists. 

Our corrupted flesh is in perfect agreement with the powers of darkness,  we love them and the lusts they bring.   That is why we must die to the flesh in order to overcome the enemy that God has set before us.  This is how we are refined as pure Gold and sanctified and made pure of heart.  All the wickedness is burned out of our hearts, the sin and the demons alike.  Zechariah 13 tells us only a 1/3rd part of the multitudes of Christians will make it thru the refining fire.  The rest will be destroyed by their harlotry.  All things are tested by the furnace of fire.

Malachi 3:3  He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness

The rest will flunk the tests of faith and not turn back (repent) and the refining process would have been in vain as will their lip based faith that depends on their words and not the deed of their heart. 

Jeremiah 6:28-29 All of them are stubbornly rebellious, ….. all of them, are corrupt … The bellows blow fiercely … in vain the refining goes on, but the wicked are not separated

The demons are this furnace.  We must come thru this furnace and out the other side purified like the sons of Levi to be priests of the Lord.  This is a tough teaching especially if you have been raised in the harlot church system that has mixed with the world and created the aforementioned false image of God.  Jesus Christ is not your buddy, He is a consuming fire.  Maybe this verse about the judgment of God will begin to take on new meaning once you see this.

Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Demons Bring the God Sent Delusion

Those that know this truth need to quit being politically correct as the time to get out of Babylon is fast approaching the point of no escape.  The door to the ARK is going to be shut soon.  The blood in the streets of Babylon is very high already and soon will consume all its occupants.  The vast majority of the professing church is completely under the control of the powers of darkness.  I am speaking about the pastors, the big important and esteemed ministries,  and all the wise men that sit under this umbrella that perverts grace,  cuts out the judgment of God,  ignores the powers of darkness and allows us to stay in the flesh, avoid the cross and walk as a double minded harlot serving both who they think is Jesus and their flesh at the same time.  Oh how great the apostasy Jeremiah lamented.

Jeremiah 4:10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul

The powers of darkness are one side of the two-edged sword of the Lord.  This sword brings both blessings and curses.  Flesh doesn’t want to hear or know about the curses side,  it would rather live in peace and safety and be comfortable with its sin and idols.  Those that practice sin are bringing abomination into their houses and serving other gods and the Lord is none to pleased.  We must hate what God hates and love only what God loves.

Deut 7:25 You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to the LORD your God. ²⁶ Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be doomed to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is an accursed thing.

The demons and even the false teachers they raise up are the righteous judgment of God sent to a people who profess His name yet profane His covenant.  The powers of darkness are God’s arrows.  They bring famine of the truth and sickness and disease among other things.  Their lies are venom that spiritually snuff out all intimacy and knowledge of the true God.  While we have a new covenant,  the consequences of keeping it or rebelling against covenant have never changed.

Deuteronomy 32 - I will heap misfortunes on them; I will use My arrows on them. They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague.  And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

 God does it.  He send the deceivers.  It is God’s righteous judgment because the priests have forgotten the law of the Lord as we saw earlier in the Ezekiel 7 passage.  Jesus Christ did not come to be a minister of sin, He came to destroy the works of the enemy which is sin and its power over us in this body of flesh.  The demons will tell you otherwise…  “Did God really say”….

Galatians 2:17  But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid

Any teaching that says we can keep on practicing sin  insults the Spirit of Grace and God sends His deluding influences upon all who are in “love” with these gods that tell these lies.  Earlier we saw the Scripture that says we SHALL BE HOLY,  not that we should try.  If you have not overcome sin or are not earnestly striving to purge all of it from your life,  then you have been overcome by the demons.  Those that practice sin, DO NOT KNOW THE LORD.  The wrath of God is abiding upon these that profane His name.  The powers of darkness, which is His wrath are talking to you, they are leading you into all unrighteousness and deception.  You can get free and come to know the real Jesus, but you must wake up and seek righteousness.  Repent and seek the only one that can deliver you and that is Jesus, the real one, the Holy One of Israel.

We don’t have much time left.  It it is soon all going to come crashing down and suddenly destruction will come while those in Babylon keep reciting their deceptive message of peace and safety.  There is no fear of God before their eyes.  Their foolish hearts have been darkened by sin and the enemy who inspires them to practice it.  We know from Scripture that anyone not fearing the Lord is in the flesh and knows not the things of God.  Fallen Fallen is Babylon the great.  The foolish virgins continue to sleep and will awake one day soon when they hear a loud trumpet and the Lord returns in great glory.  It will be a terrible day for the majority.

Isaiah 13 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near!
    It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
    ⁷Therefore all hands will fall limp,
         And every man’s heart will melt.
    ⁸They will be terrified,
         Pains and anguish will take hold of them;
         They will writhe like a woman in labor,
         They will look at one another in astonishment,
         Their faces aflame.
    ⁹Behold, the day of the LORD is coming,
         Cruel, with fury and burning anger,
         To make the land a desolation;
         And He will exterminate its sinners from it.

Examples of God’s Righteous Judgments

I want to end this post with a synopsis of additional Scriptures that reflect God sending the demons to His people out of righteous judgment for sin.  These were the very examples and lessons God gave to us in the Scriptures so we would not be deceived and would understand the need to walk in covenant with Him.  These Scriptures are typically just ignored, explained away or dismissed as a historical revelation that is not applicable to us today.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  We best heed what was spoken through these prophets.  Those words were actually the words of the KING,  the Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope nobody is believing the lie of the demons that all these things I have shown above apply only under the Old Testament and that has someone changed how theLord governs covenants.  The scoffers and mockers are in the flesh and they had best wake up.

ACTS 13:40 Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you: 

       ⁴¹ ‘ Behold, you despisers,

      Marvel and perish!

      For I work a work in your days,

      A work which you will by no means believe,

      Though one were to declare it to you.’”

The whole book of Joel is about God sending the powers of darkness to bring judgment to His people.  The mighty army, the locusts,  it is all about the coming of the Day of the Lord.  The enemy has been unleashed they have already climbed up over the whitewashed walls of Babylon’s churches.  They are inside the temples bringing many abominations.

 Joel 2 A people come, great and strong,

      The like of whom has never been;

      Nor will there ever be any such after them,

            ⁹ They run to and fro in the city,

      They run on the wall;

      They climb into the houses,

      They enter at the windows like a thief.  (sin opens the windows)

God has not changed.  The coming of Jesus only fulfills these words and His Second Coming will soon be bringing in the final chapter.  The LORD spoke this to the Prophet Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 5:15

People of Israel,” declares the LORD,

   “I am bringing a distant nation against you—

an ancient and enduring nation, (the powers of darkness, God’s mighty army)

   a people whose language you do not know,

   whose speech you do not understand. (they are a mystery of lawlessness)

¹⁶ Their quivers are like an open grave; (they shoot their arrows to bring spiritual death)

   all of them are mighty warriors. (these are the demons,  that come against truth)

¹⁷ They will devour your harvests and food, (they create spiritual famine via religion)

   devour your sons and daughters; (the spiritual offspring of new birth are devoured)

they will devour your flocks and herds,

   devour your vines and fig trees. (all the fruit of righteousness is laid bare via sin)

With the sword they will destroy 

the fortified cities in which you trust.  (they utterly ruin the churches and institutions of religion)

Most Christians and the leaders of the churches are totally ignorant of the battle for the truth that is being waged for the hearts and minds of God’s people right in their midst.  They are drunk and fast asleep to the truth.  But this was God’s plan all along, it is how He separates the sheep from the goats and harvests only the true wheat while plucking up and burning the tares.   This will soon become more evident to many and time is growing short to get out of Babylon and flee from man’s religion that has been completely overrun by this distant nation and army.

Revelation 18:2  Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’  She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit

This is a tough message of truth to get thru those bound by the doctrines and traditions of the apostate church.  Here the Prophet tells us clearly why Babylon has become a dwelling place of demons and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.  It is time the church wakes up and those the Lord has called flee from Babylon.

Jeremiah 16:10-12 And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’ ¹¹ then you shall say to them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the LORD; ‘they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law. ¹² And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me.

The locust come out at the 5th trumpet which has long been blown as I showed in a recent video.  Babylon is full of locusts and the torment brought by the scorpion tails that do not kill thankfully.  So if you wake up,  you can flee from Babylon and get away from the famine of the word and the roaring of the demons over their captives.

Jeremiah 51:14 The LORD of hosts has sworn by Himself: “Surely I will fill you with a population like locusts, And they will cry out with shouts of victory over you

The writer of Lamentations (Jeremiah) spoke about the shock and awe the earthly religious kings had when they realized the enemy had come inside the gates of Jerusalem, which means the people of the House of God and by extension all believing Christians.  The enemy was sent by God and allowed inside the “church” because of the sins of her priests and prophets.  We are all priests of God my friends.  As we have seen, the enemy comes in for one reason and that is SIN.

Lamentation 4:12

The kings of the earth,

      And all inhabitants of the world,

      Would not have believed  (Believe it, it is true and righteous judgment)

      That the adversary and the enemy

      Could enter the gates of Jerusalem

       ¹³ Because of the sins of her prophets

      And the iniquities of her priests,

      Who shed in her midst

      The blood of the just.

We better start believing what Jesus spoke thru the prophets.  The enemy has surrounded Jerusalem and has now come inside the gates of the city which is the Babylon church.  This is the abomination that causes desolation.  The demons are on the inside standing in the hearts of many believers wrecking havoc and destruction and all because God’s people are living in ignorance to the truth.  They have been blinded by God because of their sin.  Babylon has put increasing their numbers and counts of people and building bigger buildings ahead of coming out and being separate from the world.  They have tried to build their own tower into heaven but the real Jesus is the only way to the Father.  Jesus builds His church,  not men serving Him in the flesh.  As Jeremiah 8 says,  the lying pen of men have turned the Word of God into lies and God has told us what He will do in response.

Jeremiah 8:17  For behold, I will send serpents among you, Vipers which cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you,” says the LORD

I hope you will come to knowledge of the truth as difficult as it may be to bear.  Do not fear the demons,  fear only the one who sends the demons and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.  Fear Him and Obey His Commandment and the demons leave once you prove yourself worthy by obedience.  These are the tests of our faith.  Do you see how God does work all things for the greater good for those that love Him?  Remember His law and His Prophets,  not one jot or tittle of either has gone away.

Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

      Because you have rejected knowledge,

      I also will reject you from being priest for Me; 

      Because you have forgotten the law of your God

Ezekiel 7 is an overlooked chapter about the Day of the Lord.  The Lord God sends the strangers and gives over to the demons, the treasure which is our hearts.  It has become plunder for the enemy.  The thieves have come inside to steal the word from our hearts and steal the glory that is only to be given to the Lord.  Babylon has become a robbers den. 

 Ezekiel  7:21  I will give it as plunder

      Into the hands of strangers,

      And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;

      And they shall defile it.

       ²² I will turn My face from them,

      And they will defile My secret place;

      For robbers shall enter it and defile it.  (the thieves come inside)

       ²³ ‘ Make a chain,

      For the land is filled with crimes of blood,

      And the city is full of violence.

       ²⁴ Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,

      And they will possess their houses; (that’s right,  demons live inside of people)

      I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,

      And their holy places shall be defiled.  (the abomination that causes desolation)

The Prophet Habakkuk spoke about the end times,  the very last days.  Again we see the enemy army coming inside and taking over the dwelling places of the people of God.  Babylon is a dwelling place of demons.

Habakkuk  1:6  For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans,

      A bitter and hasty nation

      Which marches through the breadth of the earth, 

      To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.

       ⁷ They are terrible and dreadful

We should be mourning and weeping over the state of the apostasy and the church.  The house is desolate.  The Lord has sent His arrows and they have pierced the walls and come inside the houses.

Lamentations 3:11-13  He has turned aside my ways and torn me to pieces; He has made me desolate.  ¹²He bent His bow  and set me as a target for the arrow. ¹³He made the arrows of His quiver to enter into my inward parts.

The demons are not sitting in your shoulder.  They are inside but again do not fear them,  fear the Lord and He can deliver you.  Those in Babylon say peace and safety totally unaware of their impending doom and the judgment that is already abiding upon them.  They are not ashamed of their sin and their harlot double minded worship of God.

Jeremiah 6:12 Their houses will be turned over to others, 

   together with their fields and their wives, …

¹³ “From the least to the greatest,

   all are greedy for gain;

prophets and priests alike,

   all practice deceit.

¹⁴ They dress the wound of my people

   as though it were not serious.

‘Peace, peace,’ they say,

   when there is no peace.

¹⁵ Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?

The flood of deception is here.  Jesus said it would be just like the days of Noah.  The people were unaware until the flood came and took them all away.  This is not rapture my friends, it is spiritually destruction and apostasy.  The spiritual war goes on without the deceived drunk Christians in Babylon having any idea there is a war.  The prince has come and the church that was has been destroyed by a flood of false words.  Many desolations have resulted.

Daniel 9:26 And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.   The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined.

This was a very long post and it is chock full of deep powerful Scriptures that I hope you will take your Bibles and prayerfully consider.  There are scores more passages that explain God sending the enemy as judgment for sin.  But if you don’t see it now,  you won’t see it even if I put more in here. 

You cannot fix a problem until you come to know you have a problem.  Doctrines of demons such as a Christian can’t have a demon, come from demons.  Do not be deceived any longer. You can be delivered quite easily if you turn your heart to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee.  But we can no longer let our blind brothers and sisters ignore the devil,  because if they do,  the devil will not flee and they will consumed by all that they bring as an enemy.  If you stay in your sin,  you will never be free so deliverance will not last.  The demons will always come back and find an empty house swept with open windows to come back in and bringing seven more spirits more wicked than the original.

Luke 11:24-26 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.  And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

Call upon His name.  Answer the call that God has given you for repentance.  There is good news in that the Lord Himself is leading His Sheep out of Babylon where He sent them and afflicted them in their prior rebellion.  Heed the call to come out.  Hear the trumpets of warning blowing and run to Mt. Zion.  Do not tarry in this city of false religion and fake Christianity any longer.  The Lord sends the demons and the Lord also delivers us from the demons and is wanting to set you free.   Seek Him while He can still be found.  He will forgive and forget and reinstate His hedge of protection and keep you under His wings.

Micah 4:10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

I am sorry this post is so long, but it needed to be in order to give the big picture about God’s righteous judgments and how He sends the enemy He created to accomplish His will on the earth.  To Jesus is given all the glory and honor.

May God Bless You Richly!
