God is real and so is satan.
It has come to my attention that it is good to have a clear and real understanding that satan and demons exist. As much as I believe in angels and God with His mighty infinite strength, I cannot be so naive that the devil does not have powers in this world and is capable of destroying my life even if I am a son of the most high, or genuinely am a Christian. I am not claiming or declaring that my God has no sovereignty over everything, but what I am deliberating with my written words is, your a fool to think that demons don't exist and can have no harmful affect/effects in your life.
Spiritual warfare is very real. Its too often we forget or don't even believe because of reasons such as these: we cannot see spiritual warfare tangibly, we expect something dramatically awful that it would be difficult not to notice it (like a shark taking chunk of your body in one bite), we naively believe the fact that God will protect us, without any participation on our part to actually practice or equip ourselves with the spiritual disciplines from God, or simply we are in denial that evilness actually lurks within our lives. It's hard to understand how evil works, when we do not understand how sin applies to our practical lives. Sin in our lives is the influence of and a well executed devised plan of satan.
Truth about the work of the spiritual evil ones:
He is subtle with his strategy to destroy you. He has one objective in your life, to have you go to hell and taste the freshness of pain, suffering and agony that will NEVER END, God forsaken place of eternity. Any kind of relationship that you have with people is the main instrument the evil one will have you participate in sin and have sin caused upon you. His strategy of manipulating you to sin is geometrically progressive, which means he'll trap you with small enticing and seemingly non-harmful sins (yet still a sin) that has a snowball effect; you later find yourself deep and lost in a sinful dark world. His deceptions and lies are most powerful and truth sounding in areas where you feel inadequate, insecure, and hurt. He will manipulate you to think that your close loved ones are your enemies. He has a way to make you doubt yourself. His main weapon is the scare tactic. He will give you all that you want, but NOT as soul quenching and satisfying as you had hoped and in the end you still feel empty and definitely depressed. He'll give you success in the way your pride defines it but in reality you sold or exchanged your soul for a moment's pleasure. He does a good job of distracting you with the things you like most. He will make you feel alone, that no one truly cares about you. You will know that he has a hold of you, when you have become ungrateful, pessimistic of everything, cannot trust anyone, you're constantly angry, unforgiving, bitter toward strangers and to many friends, judgmental/non-accepting of people, your thoughts are filled with lust, violence, evil exploitations and crudeness, and a narcissist. He will deceive you to believe your emotional feeling of experiences hold precedent over what is actually true or fact in reality. He'll make you feel powerful and love by many; but this power makes you obsessively paranoid and people love you for what you possess and or what they can take from you, they do NOT love you for who you are. He wants to scare you and debilitate you from actually believing God is seriously sovereign over demons/devil. He tempts you in the areas of your life where you think you aren't strong enough. He will turn you into an addict of sin. He will pretend to be your friend and give you all that you want if you just listen to him and true as it may be in this time, it is only temporary, when you suddenly realize you're in hell for eternity.
That's what I've learned so far.
