Introduction

• Purpose of the Study - To gain a biblical understanding of demons, their characteristics, activities, and how believers are called to respond.
• Understanding the Concept of Demons
  • Definition: In biblical terms, demons are evil spiritual beings that oppose God and His purposes, often associated with Satan.
  • Origin: The Bible implies that demons are fallen angels who rebelled against God alongside Satan.
    • Matthew 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”
    • Revelation 12:7-9 “Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”
