thank you we worship you we give you thanks Lord for the blood of Jesus shed on the cross that that blood is what makes Lord our possible Lord for us to be forgiven of sin that gives us victory over the devil and demons where we are grateful for the power of the blood of Jesus that your love was demonstrated through the cross and through the resurrection we worship you today we exalt you today we thank you God for all that you do Lord we praise you in Jesus name amen and amen all right you may be seated this morning we welcome you to fire in Grace Church welcome those of you listening by Blog Talk Radio and mixler and those watching Facebook live this morning hopefully it'll be working correctly today all right got a word to share with you last two mornings it seems like the Lord uh wanted me to get up at the same time four o'clock in the morning I woke up both mornings just wide awake and just went ahead and got up to pray but the Lord really really spoke this to me because I didn't study any of this I didn't prepare any of this last night or up to this week but it just felt very strongly impressed that we needed to dig into this today so we're going to talk about living under satanic influence um we're going to go through quite a few scriptures today so keep up with me if you can living under satanic influence and you can go ahead and put up the first picture he's going to have a few a few slides this morning for us but I want to say this this morning that for the Christian um and whether you're a Christian or not this is reality right we're living in a world that's full of satanic influence in fact the first scripture I want to go to is second Corinthians chapter 4. I'm going to show where a few verses here where we know the entire world the Bible speaks God speaks that the entire world is under the influence of Satan fallen angels and the demons so let's start in second Corinthians chapter four just to make our case this morning and here's what the Apostle Paul said to the Corinthian Church we'll start at verse 1. he said therefore seeing we have received or seeing that we have this ministry as we have received Mercy we faint not but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to Every Man's conscience in the sight of God

but if our gospel be hid it is hid to them that are lost in whom the God of this world Satan the power and authority over the evil sinful darkness of this world and unsaved people that's why it's little G it says but if our gospel be hid it is hid to them that are lost in whom the God of this world Satan has blinded the minds of them which believe not lest the light and the Glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God should shine unto them for we preach not ourselves but Christ Jesus the Lord and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake now let's go to another one Revelation chapter 12. everybody with me Revelation chapter 12 . I'm going to lay the foundation this morning not taking anything for granted foreign 12 says this verse 7 is where we'll start reading everybody with me I'm just looking at something different here all right let's read this verse Revelation 12 verse 7. I want everybody to get there and there was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the dragon which is Satan and the dragon fought in his angels so the Bible teaches there's a spiritual war going on in the Heavenly realm constantly against the angels of God the forces of God Michael and his angels against the dragon and the Fallen Angels and it says and prevailed not neither was their place found any more in heaven and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world he was cast out into the Earth and his angels were cast out with him now I want everybody to see that it says that Satan and just so you won't mistake who it is he says that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world so Satan and the Fallen Angels have successfully deceived the whole world and they've been doing it for thousands of years but that is their job is to influence what people think what people believe so that they can ultimately influence how people act I mean what you meditate on and what you think on constantly is what you will believe and it is what you will eventually do okay that's a that's a known fact all right so I want you to see that let's go to one more passage dealing with unbelievers and then we'll start dealing with born-again Christian believers who are under satanic influence uh Revel I mean Ephesians chapter 2 let's go to Ephesians chapter 2

thank you and we'll start reading there at verse 1. now of course in chapter one he's speaking about Jesus shedding his blood and being raised from the dead for us and he's speaking to people and I love Ephesians in fact let's look at Ephesians 1 1 so we know who Paul is talking to a lot of people think don't pay attention to these things who the writer is addressing but it says Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God to the Saints which were at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus so if there's any confusion about who Paul is writing the book of Ephesians 2 he makes it clear he says it's to the Saints which are at Ephesus that means Born Again Christians that believe in Jesus as their lord and savior God In the Flesh died on died on the cross and rose from the dead Born Again believer Saints and then he says and to the faithful in Christ Jesus everybody know not every Christian is faithful in Christ Jesus right we have some Unfaithful servants right so that's important to remember so we see who he's writing to and then we can jump over into verse two and then he says and you speaking to the Christians the Saints and the faithful in Christ Jesus at Ephesus is he says in you hath he quickened or made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins meaning when you believe in Jesus and you confess him as Lord and you repent of your sins and you're born again you become a Believer literally Jesus makes you alive he's spiritually alive you were spiritually dead in sin he washes your sins away but he also resurrects your dead spirit makes it alive there's a supernatural thing that happens when you're born again and if it didn't happen then you're not born again amen all right then he says this you hath he quickened or Made Alive who were dead in trespasses and sins wherein in times past you walked according to the course of this world according to the prince and the power of the air that is Satan the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience so the spirit of the prince of the power of the air the devil his spirit his spirits I should say the evil spirits the fallen angels and the demons it says where does it say it says Works in the children of Disobedience okay we're supposed to be as Christians we're supposed to be the children of obedience right if you're not the Bible is very clear that you're under satanic influence let me just say that real clearly if you're not a true born-again bible-believing Christian who loves Jesus and believes

what the Bible says about Jesus and you know you've been saved if you're not living for God through Jesus Christ then you are under and you are living under satanic influence it's that simple I don't care if you believe in Satan or not or you believe in demons or not or you you may be an atheist or an agnostic out there watching you'll say I believe I don't believe any of this well that's proof you're under satanic influence amen if the gospel is hid to you if you don't believe it or you don't understand it or you haven't received the the love and the mercy of God through the cross of Jesus Christ and his resurrection to love you and to die for your sins and all he wants you to do is confess him and believe in him and follow him to give you forgiveness and eternal life if if you don't want to believe that and that gospel is hid to you then the Bible is clear that the God of this world the little G Satan that Spirit The Prince and power of the air that evil spirit that deceives the whole world he has blinded your mind he has deceived you and you are under that satanic influence nothing you can do about it either Jesus is the only answer to deliverance and freedom and Hope from this satanic influence and satanic power okay but the devil and his demon spirits and the fallen angels are working everywhere in fact I'm getting ready you know a message about uh you know the Flat Earth part five and and I'm beginning to find out that the Illuminati the Satanist the Freemasons the high level occultists they all understand the truth about this they understand the truth that the sky is going to that it's solid and that it's going to fracture and shatter and crash down one day they they know this I can't tell you how many I found videos of well-known bands I'm not going to say in singers who we know are satanists part of the Illuminati and they've got the songs talking about the day the sky begins to fall and it crash down they know what's coming so you know what you know what's sad a lot of the satanists and the witches and the Illuminati they know more truth about the spirit world and what's going on and even about end times Bible prophecy than most Christians do that's really it's really sad and they project their knowledge in their movies and in their music and they laugh at us because most Christians are absolutely ignorant of these things absolutely ignorant that so many Christians are so under satanic influence that they can't even they
