The Bible speaks of two realms in which everything living abides. Those who are aware of these two realms refer to them as: physical and spiritual, flesh and spirit, temporal and eternal, earthly and heavenly, seen and unseen. While there are those who ignorantly refuse to believe in anything they cannot see, hear, taste, touch or smell, a growing number of people are beginning to realize that there are realities that loom just beyond their senses. Some, who grope in the dark (evil) side of those realities, are quite keenly aware of their existence—as are those of us who love the Light (good).
In the realm of Light, there are God and Angels, who minister on earth, though their present abode is Heaven. In the realm of darkness, there are Satan and Demons, who, though unseen, dwell among men to wreak havoc in the earth. A spiritual battle rages; you are on the battlefield and would do well to understand your enemy.
The Word of God says, Of Satan’s Origin: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isaiah 14:12-15)” Of Satan’s Ways: “…the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2Corinthians 4:4)” God warns: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1Peter 5:8)”
The Bible says that you and I were born into darkness, but can become part of the Kingdom of Light. The Apostles of Christ were sent, “To open their (men’s) eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith… (Acts 26:18)”
