The Truth About the Angels - Conclusion of RESIST AND BREAK FREE FROM THE DEMONS

What else did the Christians in Ephesus need to do?  They lived in a holy city of demonism. So Paul told them: "Carry on prayer on every occasion." (Ephesians 6:18)  They needed to ask Jehovah for his protection at all times.  What  about us? We also live in a world that is full of demonism. So we too need to ask Jehovah for his protection, and we need to use his name when we pray.  (Read Proverbs 18:10)   If we keep on asking Jehovah to deliver us from Satan, Jehovah will answer our prayers. -PSALM 145:19; MATTHEW 6:13.

If we get rid of everything in our life that has to do with demonism and rely on Jehovah to protect us, we can resist Satan and the demons.  We do not need to be afraid of them.  (Read James 4:7, 8.)    Jehovah is far more powerful than the demons.  He punished them in Noah's day, and in the future he will destroy them.  (Jude 6)  Remember we are not alone in our fight.  Jehovah is using his angels to protect us.  (2 Kings 6:15-17) We can be confident that with Jehovah's help, we can win our fight against Satan and the demons., -1 PETER 5:6, 7; 2 PETER 2:9. 

But if Satan and the demons are causing so  much suffering, why hasn't God destroyed them yet? This question will be answered in the next chapter.
