The Problems in Personal Evangelism
33. WHAT ABOUT ASTROLOGY, NECROMANCY, PARANORMAL
ACTIVITIES, UFOS, EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS, ETC?
The potential of Satan.
SATAN CAN PERFORM MIRACLES: For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew ( show ) great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the
very elect. - Mt 24:24
The elect will not be deceived and the deceived will not be the
elect.
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth
unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world... - Rev 16:14
One of the characteristics of the end times will be the proliferation
of demonic miracles and deceptions.
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth
thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or wonder come to pass, whereof
he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast
not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the
words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your
God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with
all your heart and with all your soul. - Deut 13:1-3
SATAN CAN PRETEND TO BE GOOD: For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as
the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their
works. - 2 Cor 11:13-15
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of
devils... Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,
which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which
believe and know the truth. - 1 Tim 4:1-3
Satan does not mind that we be religious as long as we do not have
the Savior - the Lord Jesus Christ.
SATAN CAN POSSESS HUMAN BEINGS: And certain women,
which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called
Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils. - Lk 8:2
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being number of
the twelve. - Lk 22:3
The purpose of Satan.
SATAN SEEKS TO BLIND: But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them
that are lost: In whom the god of this world 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. - 2
Cor 4:3-4
SATAN SEEKS TO DECEIVE: Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. - 2
Thess 2:9
SATAN SEEKS TO DESTROY: Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom
he may devour. - 1 Per 5:8
Satan promises the best, but pays the worst; he promises honor
and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure and pays with pain;
he promises profit and pays with loss; he promises life and pays
with death. - Thomas Brooks
The possibility of Satan.
ASTROLOGY: Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let
now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand
up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee
( the coming Babylonian invasion of Israel ). - Isa 47:13
WITCHCRAFT: And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and
thou shall have no more soothsayers. - Mich 5:12
NECROMANCY: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither
seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am your the Lord your
God. - Lev 19:31.45
