Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2021
Friday, October 1, 2021
Jehovah's eyes are roaming all over the earth to show his strength on behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him (2 Chron. 16: 9).
We have much evidence that Jehovah protects his people today. Consider this: We are preaching and teaching the truth throughout the earth (Matt. 28:19, 20). As a result, we expose the evil works of the Devil. If he could, it is clear that he would stop our work. But he can not. So we must not be afraid of evil spirits. If we are faithful to God, demons will not be able to do us any permanent harm. But we all have to fight evil spirits and trust in Jehovah. If we do, we will receive many blessings. For example, we will not be victims of Satan's lies. Also, we will never stop serving God out of fear of demons. Above all else, we will strengthen our friendship with Jehovah. The disciple James wrote: “Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you ”(James 4: 7, 8). w19.04 24 par. fifteen; 25 par. 18
What does Jehovah tell us?
As mentioned above, Jehovah tells us what we need to know so that Satan and the demons do not deceive us. Let's look at some steps we can take to fight them.
a) What is the main way to fight evil spirits? b) What does Psalm 146: 4 make clear about the dead?
Let's read God's Word and meditate on it. This is the main way to reject the lies spread by evil spirits. God's Word is like a sharp sword that counteracts Satan's lies (Eph. 6:17). For example, make it clear that the dead cannot communicate with the living (read Psalm 146: 4). It also reminds us that Jehovah is the only one who can accurately predict the future. --Is. 45:21; 46:10. If we read it regularly and meditate on it, we will be prepared to reject and hate the lies of evil spirits.
What practices related to the occult do we avoid?
Let's not do anything that has to do with the occult. True Christians do not go to spirit mediums or try to communicate with the dead in any way. As we saw in the previous article, we do not participate in funeral customs that are based on the belief that the dead are still alive somewhere. And neither do we try to know the future by astrology or divination (Isa. 8:19). We do not want to have anything to do with any of these or similar practices. We know that they are very dangerous and can put us in direct contact with Satan and demons.
