Ignorance No Guarantee Against Demons

Ignorance No Guarantee Against Demons
One must realize that ignorance is no guarantee against the workings of evil spirits. In fact, this is one of the chief means by which these spirits gain control. If they can move anyone to accept their suggestions, doctrines, ideas, readings, and guidance, they won't be satisfied, but will be tireless in their attempts to gain even more ground. In order to work through a man demons must keep him in ignorance of the truth. Paul warned believers not to �give place to the devil� (Eph. 4:27) and to �put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil . . . to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked� (Eph. 6:10-18). When a person becomes contentious over doctrines not plainly stated in Scripture, or doctrines that are contrary to Scripture, he is a victim of demonic possession and demonic teaching. A person under the control of the Holy Spirit will be gentle, humble, honest, and open�minded to truth. He will be eager to accept as truth what is shown him to be plainly written in the Word of God. He will not be stubborn to hold on to personal ideas or to prove that he is right in total disregard of what the Bible says. He will be ready and willing to accept new truth and to walk in the light as he receives it (1 Jn. 1:7).btu
