Spirits are everywhere. Most people become afraid when you start talking about spirits. Well, to some degree they may have reason to be afraid because in reality, this physical world is governed and controlled by spiritual forces.
The Bible says, God is spirit so if you believe in God, believe also that there is a spiritual environment in much the same manner that we have the physical environment. The Bible further says, “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
The Bible tells us that God has angels. And some of these angels have rebelled and become the enemies of God. Satan himself was an angel that was cut off from God. The Lord said “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Satan and his angels are the rulers of the darkness of this world. The principals, the powers, the perpetrators of all the wickedness in this world!
How do they exercise their power? I believe in much the same way as God does. Proverbs 21:1 “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” I believe these wicked spirits can also enter into a man’s heart and compel the man to do wickedness.
But while God’s purpose is always good, these fallen spirits are just out there to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I don’t know what is it with them but that is just what they want to do, to steal, to kill, and to destroy! And so it is just either a person is influenced by God or by the wicked ones.
There are spirits all around us and thank God we cannot see them because these wandering spirits are just really pretty ugly. There are some who are said to have a third eye or a sixth sense and they can see the spirits, but that is not from God. Christians can see them also but not with the naked eye, we see them by faith and we make war against them!
The Church actually is a spiritual force that holds back these destructive spirits. We are the salt of the earth, more like a preservative. Had God not left a people for His own, this world would have been destroyed a long time ago.
Ask a common criminal about the thing that he did, he would tell you he didn’t really want to do it but was forced to do it by his circumstances; by problems maybe. But that is just how he understands it. But in reality, it was a spiritual force that pushed him to that corner that he couldn’t get out of.
God is really good. He counts us innocent of the wrong things we do. He sent His Son to pay for the punishment of the sins of the whole world so that although we are sinners He may count us righteous; if we return back to Him.
In the book of Genesis, when God saw everything He has created, He saw it was very good. Very much the same like when we have finished a really nice piece of work, we treasure it, and we don’t let it be destroyed. It is the same with God. He is not ready to lose us, even the rest of His creation. Far be it from God to just give up the works of His hands to some spirit that has ran loose, out of control, daring to challenge his Creator!
