Protected From Evil

Someone demonized isn’t a demon.  A demonized person is someone attacked by a demon—they may be possessed, indwelled by an evil spirit … or they be oppressed, assaulted in their soul, mind—but, that does not make them evil of themselves.

 

 


They are the victim of the evil one who wars against God’s goodness.  The angles of evil—demons and their master—seek to destroy God’s beautiful creation, people, who were made in the Lord’s divine image. 

The pride of the evil one is a burning flame of desire to go to war against all that is good and righteous.

Because of that, “there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.” —Rev. 12:7-8

 

That war wages today, the battlefield is our world, the victims are those created in God’s image, you, me, yes everyone. Be assured, Jesus has prayed for those who are His.  To the Father he prayed, “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.”  ~John 17:15-16

In Jesus’ prayers,
