Studying God’s Word ping
....demonic faith..... under the surface that makes no sense whatsoever.
. A Demon needs no faith! A demon is a fallen angel with full knowledge of the complete power and control of our savior Jesus Christ. how can you compare faith and full knowledge?
Maybe he was just making a point. I can’t see how demonic faith avails demons. Dead faith can be raised.
Jesus raised the dead, but did he ever change any demons?
“You can’t be a Christian in creed only—you must be one in conduct as well!”
Amen!
The world really has turned upside down.
The demons believed and wanted to be as far from Jesus as they could get.
They had belief and they had faith and their works were to tremble and to get away from Him as far and as quickly as possible!
I know that feeling. Guilt, shame, conscience ... hide me, oh mountains, from God’s Judgements.
Those of His day had all the information and didn’t recognize Him.
Their faith and their works were of themselves and their egos, and so they killed Him and His followers, too. Egos don’t like competition, as their works demonstrate.
I say I believe, but I often don’t act like it, choosing my ego’s ways over His.
In those times, no one would believe me if I tell them I am a Christian. My works would testify against me.
They would tell me, “I’m sorry I couldn’t hear what you were saying. Your actions were speaking too loudly.”
I’m learning to wait on the Lord while dying to myself, to do His Will instead of my ego’s will both in the heat of the moment and also when no one is looking.
His Ways are much harder than mine and way more difficult than I would have thought.
My ego’s stuff is quicker and much easier ... and the inner serpent never lets me forget it.
Good thing Jesus is always ready, willing and able to help!
Just ask Him and get busy and all will be well.
Thankya, Jesus!
