Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” John 17:Jesus Prays for His Disciples 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 1 Peter 1:The Enduring Word 22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 24 because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, 25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you. 2 Peter 1:The Trustworthy Prophetic Word 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. Mark 4:Light Under a Basket 24 Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. 25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

@@flamemojis Demons carry out the will of Satan, in the sense that angels carry out the work of God. So demons try to establish and expand Satan's kingdom on earth. God's kingdom is found within the parameters of righteousness, peace and joy as found in the Holy Spirit. So everything opposed to this is furthered by demons. Unrighteousness, and all the attributes that are not of the Holy Spirit: the lack of peace and joyful contentment found when we are being filled by God's Spirit are the jurisdiction of Satan's kingdom. Satan's ideal would be a complete void of God's Spirit, as God's Spirit is the only source of righteousness, holiness, godly contentment and peace. God's Spirit causes a rest in the heart of man, because all of mankind was designed for a sense of completion that can only be found in God. There was a line in a movie where the man told the woman he was in love with: "You complete me!" The reality is that man is created with a God-shaped vacuum or emptiness within their being. It like building something to work as designed, only to find that it just doesn't work right. And then you discover the missing piece, snap it in and, Voila!, it works as designed. Man was designed to be animated with the Life of God (His Spirit). But lacking this missing piece, he is unaware of what he lacks & finds himself within the boundaries and jurisdiction of Satan's kingdom: a place of unrest, always in search of something that will complete him or her. So they try money and more money, drugs and more drugs, sex and more sex, but like that Rolling Stones' song said: "I can't get no satisfaction." Like an itch that can't be scratched. That's because that designed, missing piece within mankind is God's Spirit. God's love is resident in God's Spirit alone. God is love. Johnny Lee wrote a country western song, "Looking For Love". It describes a man looking for love in all the wrong places. That is man's predicament. A line in that song is: "You came knockin' on my heart's door. You're everything I've been looking for.." This song suggests a contentment in finding true love that cannot be found in anything or anyone else: the missing piece. True and real unselfish LOVE is God and He is always quietly knocking on your heart's door. When you were born, you had been sold out to the kingdom of darkness and discontentment. But Jesus Christ, came as a man and was beaten to near death and crucified on a Cross in order to purchase you back and make a way for you to gain that missing piece within you. So God is giving and sacrificial. He gave His best, His Son, for mankind. Satan is the opposite. Everything that has been stolen from you, everything that you feel has died in your life, everything that you feel has been dismantled and destroyed in your life is a result of Satan and his kingdom of demons. God loves you. What are you going to do about it?

@@AndalusianIrish Treasuring Jesus supremely is not an accompaniment of faith but IS faith because the sin that we turn away from in our repentance is idolatry and part of trusting Jesus is relying on him to not just forgive our sins but also give us freedom from that sin so that we can worship him because he's satisfying. Few people if any notice this at the moment of their salvation just like few if any people notice all that's going on at the moment of their natural birth and into their toddler years. A lot occurs when a spiritually dead person is given new life and saved and most of it starts out very small and then grows to be bigger over time-thus Jesus' repeated reference to mustard seed and leaven in his parables. It's fine if you didn't notice a dramatic change in the chief desire of your heart when you were saved as aome people don't even remember the precise moment or day that they were saved (as I don't) due to God saving people in different manners, but as long as you notice over time that your love for Jesus is growing and your love for idols is decreasing over time even as your sin remains, then you can still have assurance of your salvation. Our switching from treasuring others things to treauring Jesus above all is not a conscious, volitional choice after all, but it is a miraculous gift that has so many aspects that we could focus on some (forgiveness, being saved from Hell, being adopted into God's family, etc) when receiving it but not be very aware of other aspects until later on, yet they're no less real. Thank God for grace!

You are right that the pre-tribulation 'rapture' and the church being unharmed during the tribulation are unbiblical ideas, and therefore demons will be involved in spreading them. So these ideas can be included in what Paul is referring to in 1 Tim 4. But we shouldn't limit what Paul says only to these things. See how in 1 Tim 4:3 the example Paul gives is of those who forbid marriage etc. This obviously has nothing to do with the 'rapture' or the tribulation. It makes sense to think that this passage is referring to a whole host of wrong ideas that demons have spread and will spread.

You wouldn't know. That's why it's important to be daily reading scripture and also to be in a community of bible-believing Christ-followers. And, even then it's possible to get off-base. For example, Warren Wiersbe, a solid Moody Bible Institute teacher, once said, "God is never closer to you than when He's pruning you." My pastor, who is also solid biblically, quoted Wiersbe in his sermon a couple of weeks ago. That is a Great sentiment, sounds and feels good, and is very comforting when you are in a painful pruning phase. But the fact is it is NOT biblical. God's word says that when we are born-again, His Spirit in dwells us. See 1st Corinthians 3:16. God is already 100% indwelling us; He can't get closer than that. So, we evaluate based on the truth of scripture, not our feelings.

Demonic teaching was addressed by Christ, through John to two churches, the church at Pergamum and the doctrines of Balaam and the false prophet and doctrines of Jezebel in the church at Thyatira. The doctrine of Balaam can be summarized as a doctrine of covetousness, i.e. prosperity gospel. The second is noted for "a" false prophet and a doctrine teaching idolatry compromise. Think of the NAR movement, all the false prophets on TV, Elijah List, Elijah Stream, Sid Roth's TV show, etc.. Both of these demonic doctrines are found in many mega-churches as well as many small churches. Both display false signs and wonders. Both can be identified by their love for the things of this world and money. Both have the focus on self instead of Christ.

There are two sets of scriptures that point to who a real Christian is. Romans 8:9,14-16 KJVS But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. [14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. [15] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Hebrews 12:6-8 KJVS For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Unfortunately, both are only readily apparent to the individual believer.

Then he said, some of you students need to come up here and pray for someone. And I was beat. Real tired. My schedule had been wearing me out and this was the evening chapel. So I told God, if he wanted me to pray for someone he had to show me. Then I would scan back and forth over the crowd, and just one guy kept standing out. Like a single tree in the forest. So I grudgingly went up, got behind him and put my hands on a shoulder and began to pray. Then this dude started like heaving, like either in sobs, but kind of like a dog that had just ate grass to clean out its stomach and throw up. But he wasn't throwing up any thing. I was still behind and like asking God, "What is going on?" What should I do?" And then this short, blondes headed teenager walked up and pointed at the guy and said, "That's a devil." So I shake my head and say, "naw". I mean this guy lives in the dorms. But the young guy matter-of-factly says, "It's a devil". Grabs him by the shoulder and flips him over. This guy falls over without changing position. Like he was a rock or paralyzed. When he's on the ground, we both pray and his neck swells up like a balloon and his eyes flip up back into his head and then he has eyes looking out that look exactly like snake eyes. Then I said, "It's a devil!" Bro. I was WIDE awake now and not a little bit tired and I was totally shook up. So this teenager went into deliverance and the neck and eyes became normal & everything looked cool. I must of had a look of satisfaction, but then the kid said, "He still has that spirit." I say, "What do you mean, we used the Name of Jesus and he looks normal. The kid said, "No, it's still hiding." So we start praying again and his neck swelled up huge and his eyes flipped back and snake eyes are looking at me. That was about the scariest thing I had ever seen.
