There are several ways that demonic spirits operate, but their main goal is to destroy mankind by keeping them from knowing Christ and fulfilling their duty to God. To do this, they strategize different ways they can inflict pain, violence, torment, and delusion to create a spiritual hell through social and political doctrines that turn mankind from salvation into bondage. Salvation to demons means they have lost the battle to destroy humans. The Bible reasons demons are fallen angels, (2 Peter 2:4) and become evil demonic spirits without bodies who are constantly seeking to possess humans, places, homes, tombs, and evil principalities. This is the goal of the many antichrists referred to in 1 John 2:18. They are focused on supporting “…the one who is coming … with all power and false signs and lying wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who (will) perish, because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved” (2 Thess 2:9-10).
Demonic spirits manifest themselves. When Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ, he saw this happen. “And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. And there was great joy in that city (Acts 8:6-8). Notice Phillip was representing Christ and speaking His truth and this caused the unclean spirits to cry out with a loud voice.
This is also shown in Mark 5:5, Luke 4:41, and in Acts 17:5-6 says, “But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. But when they did not find (Paul and Silas) them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.”
Demons desire to hurt, attack, steal and destroy people secretly, but the moment they encounter the sword of the spirit, the word of God, (Ephesians 6:17) many make their presence publicly known by crying out. A resent example: “A former Iranian political prisoner proved once again this week that telling the truth to CNN employees and contributors causes them to react like screaming banshees” (thegatewaypundit).
Demons are deathly afraid of the word of God who became flesh and brought grace and truth (John 1:14). This is one of the reasons the Apostle Paul gave us this command, “…have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them” (Ephesians 5:11). This is so liars, the spirit of evil cannot hide. Then in Ephesians 5:13 Paul tells us the benefit. “But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.” Exposure to the light of Christ is the only power that can drive demons out and enables them to expose themselves and this is why the public and private manifestation, exposure of darkness, gives glory to God. They scream, not for attention, but because they are being tormented by the truth of God, and the power of Holy Spirit. Exposure shows how powerful the name of Jesus is over any power of darkness, and make no mistake, when Christians are speaking truth into darkness, this gives glory to Christ.
Demonic spirits are like flies. Satan is known as an enemy called Beelzebul- Lord of flies (Mark 3:22). Demons are often referred to as flies because they act similarly. They feast on dead things by entering where there is an open door without the unsaved host knowing. Demons create a strong desire in a person’s life to defile the human host by using the person’s eyes, mouth, and body to get what the demonic spirit desires. They need a host, like a parasite to feed on, to support their impure evil deeds. However, when people strive to get out of the evilness of homosexuality, drug, alcohol, and porn addition they cannot because our culture is greatly influenced by the Democrat ideology. This dogma then blatantly supports the homosexual lifestyle, and even provides government welfare to the suffers of drug, alcohol, and porn addiction that keeps them possessed.
Demonic spirits live in people, places, objects, and principalities. Throughout Scripture we see the power of God moving through objects causing healing and deliverance. We see examples of this with the rod of Moses, the saliva of Jesus, the shadow of Peter, and even the handkerchief of Paul. However, when it comes to the kingdom of darkness, the demonic spirit operates in a like but opposite manner. They inhabit people, but can settle for homes (Matthew 12) and living in tombs (Mark 5). The book of Acts makes it clear that occult objects are tied to demonic practices and are to be exposed and shunned by Christians. Luke confirmed this; “A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly” (Acts 19:19). Is this why the sodomite agenda is pushing graphic sex books in school libraries?
Principalities and powers in the Bible are levels of demonic presence working through humans who control evil organizations and governments the bible calls enemies. “For our struggle is …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). We see a great illustration of this in the book of Revelation during the great tribulation, where demons work through humans to launch a tremendous slaughter against God’s people. We see it today in the actions of the progressive left, and governments based on Muslimism and Marxism whose goal is absolute power and domination over their citizens. Demonic principalities work to indoctrinate the uninformed, steal their peace, destroy their joy, harass, oppress, confuse, and kill human beings.
Demonic spirits support evil human doctrines. Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons (2 Tim 4:1). In the last days, the Bible says these 3 things will happen: Demons will cause people to depart from their faith. (Churches focusing on social acceptance, liberalism attack on Christianity and prayer including the 10 commandments etc. etc.) Demons will deceive people (Democrat ideology of reverse reality, criminals are victims, victims are necessary, as they call good evil and evil good, etc.) Demons have and will spread their doctrine of thought. (This creed supports movies focused on graph sex, violence, and homosexuality. Plus, social media i.e. TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook combined with WOKE doctrines of social justice, DEI and push the propaganda of debased spirituality in our schools, churches, and colleges, etc.)
Political doctrines include, Marxism, Communism, etc. and antichrist religions like Muslimism. These are all doctrines coming from the demonic spirit of the antichrist that possess humans to enslave them. They strive to implement control systems that gains and exerts absolute power and control over humankind that history shows have killed millions.
Demonic spirits blind the minds of unbelievers and encourage delusion. Scripture says that those who do not believe in the Gospel have been spiritually blinded through demonic influences (2 Cor 4:4). The Apostle Paul revealed, men will suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Ro 1:18-19). Suppressing the truth in unrighteousness is the goal of demonic spirits that champions the opposite of the truth of Christ. The Apostle Paul writes about humans caught up in this evil. “And for this reason, God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thess 2:11-12).
Christians, as an example, see this blinding the minds prophesied daily by the demonic spirits controlling the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender doctrines. The Apostle Paul states they have been “…given up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due” (Ro 1:26-27).
The following reveals the tip of the iceberg of the unquestionable facts that show demonic spirits control the Democrat ideology.
The Democrat ideology’s efforts exposed here, can be readily proven by statistical data as well as common sense and observation. This warped and twisted darkness has all the elements of the Demonic world. It supports atheism, depravity, godless, domination, and oppression by sponsoring paganism enabling suicide, wickedness, sodomite rights, lawlessness, racism, and every other form of moral and physical depravity that is contrary to God’s Law and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This same spirit is behind extreme arrogance, hate, spousal abuse, homicide, and work and school mass murders. Evidence shows this ideology birthed and funded Antifa, and Black Lives Matter designed to riot, cause pain, suffering, and killing along with the destruction of homes and businesses.
Today’s Democrat ideology is now the party of Muslimism, Marxism, Communism, and Progressivism, all borne out of Paganism to enslave mankind. Their demonic motives are shown in their religious views, political creed, and public policy. Their leaders have proven they are pathological liars, and when confronted, they ball face lie without a shred of remorse. Jesus defined them when He said, they “…lie …from their own nature, because they are liars, and the father of liars” (John 8:44 paraphrased).
This is an antichrist religious movement that worships the death of the unborn as they have supported and financed the murder of over 60 million unborn babies since before the 1960’s. The fruit they produce is murder, crime, chaos, division, racism, anarchy, and every form of moral depravity known to man under the guise and the lie of civil liberty. Look at the discoveries by Musk’s dodge team at the start of the new administration. Fraud, deceit, lies, and billions of tax dollars spent on evil agendas, all wrapped around political corruption orchestrated by the Democrat party. Showing this ideology sponsors the seven things that God hates: Arrogance, lying tongue, murder, planning evil, running to evil, false witness, and sowing discord (Proverbs 6:16-19).
In summary, this ideology today is the most aggressive secular force of evil that is focused on destroying America’s freedom and liberty. This demonic spirit can be beaten back by Christians who can volitionally stand and withstand this darkness (Eph 6:10-20). Thus, we need to confidently expose their deeds and rebuke this evil in the pubic square (Eph 5:11-1 Tim 5:20-John 3:20). This is Christ’s public truth offering boldly spoken in the spirit of grace to enable those living in darkness to hear the truth of Christ so they can have the opportunity to repentant and be reconciled to God (Gal 6:1- 2 Cor 5:19-Acts 26:18). This must be executed with the knowledge that retribution will be forth coming, but “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for Christ’s sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven” (Matthew 5:11-12). However, if the body of Christ fails to awaken, we will have to defend ourselves by force of arms. This is truly just how wicked this evil has become.
Who in America has God anointed to speak the truth of Christ for Him that calls upon the unlimited power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) to bring darkness to light (Acts 26:18)? This is the Disciples of Christ who need to answer their call to God. Disciples accomplish their anointing, by speaking truth combined with bold Godly action. The spiritual battle in America is the Churches battle because in all of God’s reality, no one else can expose, rebuke, and drive away darkness in Christs name with the promise of action by the most powerful being in the world, the Holy Spirit of God (Mark 16:17).
This is why, Disciples of Christ are called to speak the power of God’s truth into darkness, so the Holy Spirit can turn darkness to light, (Acts 1:8 & 26:18). Faith compels us to speak, (2 Cor 4:12-14), because without speaking the minds who are blinded will not see the light (2 Cor 4:4). For the word of God causes the intercession of the power of the Holy Spirit, (Ro 8:34). For the Spirit without the Word is mute! The Word without the Spirit is powerless. For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). Therefore, Christ’s Disciples are God’s mouth piece and we use great boldness of speech (2 Cor 3:12). For we war against evil by the power of God’s word, for pulling down arguments against the knowledge of God (2 Cor 10:3-6). And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak (2 Cor 4:13).
