DO NOT SKIM THIS ANSWER, THIS ANSWER TELLS ABOUT MY REAL EXPERIENCE IN THE WAR AGAINST HIM AND I PROMISE YOU THIS WILL WORK OR YOU CAN SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL FIND YOU SOMETHING THAT WILL WORK (I PROMISE)
im a catholic who's belief in the devil is very real and probably greater then satans actuall power. and i had the fear that he or his deamon's were in my room (no not just strolling around but active) and i wouldn't come near my room when night came (i slept on the couch). anyway one day i got tired of not being allowed into my room by some: over confident, weak, selfish, brat ( you'll learn about insulting him soon). so i decided if i could sleep in my room a single night without getting scared i would prevail and banish him. well i had to take 2 days to mentally prepare myself and i found two sights you can see to help at: http://www.biblecenter.com/sermons/strategiesofsatanandhisdemonspart1.htm and at http://www.biblecenter.com/sermons/howtodefeatsatanandhisdemonspart2.htm . well when i got to bed i decided not only would i not fear him but also to resist him in any way shape or form (which included the insulting as mentioned above (in my head that is, not outloud) also imagining my kicking his) sure i feared him at first but as the night grew further and further away i felt more and more power. and i beat him. now whenever i go to bed my room seems bigger (not what i expected as a result but who cares) now if i get the feeling that he's back all i think about is the night when i beat him and the words "Satan I banish you from this house" sounds dorky but hey it helps. oh and i strongly suggest writing and remembering this prayer (i didnt make it up its a real prayer and say it outloud even if its quiet)
prayer to defeat Satan
O divine eternal father in union with thy devine son and the holy spirit through the immaculate heart of Mary. i beseech (or beg) you to destroy the power of thy greatest enemy the evil spirits. cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever. take possesion of thy kingdom which thou hast created and which is rightfully thine. heavenly father grant us the reign of the sacret heart of Jesus and the immaculate heart of Mary. i repeat this prayer out of pure love for thee with every beat of my heart and with every breath i take. amen.
p.s. i know the words are spelled right
anyway i now have no fear of him and i am hoping that if i am allowed into heaven god will allow me to be in his army (especially for the appocalypse (read the book of revolations))
not one bit. are you? over come it. the devil feeds off your fear. there's no reason to be scared of him, because there's one person i have that is way more powerful that a thousand devils. jesus christ, god my savior. and me. i am strong, with jesus. i have that, and with that there's no need to fear.
The simple true answer is....NO. if you study the book of Job, you will see that God allowed the devil to torment Job and kill his family but God did not use the devil to punish him. God might allow things to come into your life that will cause you grief or harm but God does not cause the things to happen. He might use them to get your attention but God does not use Satan to punish anyone. The devil is not God's punisher, In Isaiah 14:14 we read the Satan was the most powerful and glorious angel that God created. Satan became jealous of man and God and wanted to be God. The devil desired to replace God, but God judged him and cast him out of heaven. Now Satan roams around like a roaring lion seeking those he can devour or destroy. Satan hates you, and all mankind and all of God's creation. Because if he can't rule over it, he wants to destroy it.
Satan entered post-Exilic Judaism as the 'adversary' but under the instructions of God, tasked to test the righteousness of the faithful. Jews continue to see Satan as the loyal assistant of God, rather than as the devil of Christianity. In Christianity, Satan evolved to become the evil opponent of God, seeking to cause the faithful to deviate from righteousness and to destroy God's kingdom. Satan continued to evolve throughout much of the Middle Ages, but the more the Church portrayed the devil as a repulsive being, usually either black or red and with horns and a tail, the more the common people made him a figure of fun in order to alleviate their fear of him. He is now an essential part of Christian belief, but if you did not read about Satan in books you believe to be true you would have no reason to think that he exists.
"To reign" means to rule over, and "hell" is the Christian religious place of punishment. Hell is ruled by Satan or Lucifer, also called The Devil. This is part of a quote from a famous book about Hell, and refers to Satan ruling over his kingdom of Hell.
No, Satan is no god. He is a devil! Satan is not the God of the underworld he is more like the Lord of the underworld and he appears to have more control over the earth than any other entity. Satan is like the villain in a Spiderman or Batman movie, he is wreaking havoc and the hero is somehow absent or incompetent.
Yes! Why?! Because Satan tried to take over heaven and Satan is jealous of god because i lot of people worship god and not Satan
Christian tradition says that Satan was expelled, along with many of the angels, from heaven because he saw himself as equal to God. This belief implies that the angels did not realise that God was greater than they. When considered rationally, this is certainly inconsistent with broader Christian belief.Not only did Satan not aspire to have a throne in heaven, but Satan and heaven do not really exist.
Eat Garlic, It helps :D
The Devil Has Taken over the world already, but not entirely. Revelation 12:9 says "So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him." Notice this scripture is written in a past tense form?
Satan himself is the chief over his disciples, but Christ is over all.
Im just guessing.....but maybe Satans Ring is like a Halo......put over someones head....it has the same effect as a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation....used to block that area of the brain ?!?!?!?!? For what purpose......ask Satan or Devil Worshipers......
In biblical context, the term "Prince of the power of the air" refers to Satan or the devil, who is believed to have influence and control over the spiritual realm and the world.
