Is All Mankind Filled With Demons?

IS MANKIND FILLED WITH DEMONS?

I believe we find the appearance of demons more prominent in the New Testament writings because the “Gospel” is being presented to mankind for their salvation. In the Old Testament writings we have irruptions of evil angels that took place during the time of Noah, and Lot. In the Old Testament writing the demons are more so in association to the gods that were being worshipped. Images of gold, silver, wood and stone were representation of existing persons or beings to worship. Mankind continued to worship idols rather than the living God. Civilizations were enslaved by their idols. Many civilizations had gods or goddesses of war, love, the moon, the sun, the wind, and rain just to name a few. All these idols came forth from a birth and were exempt from death. Sacrifice was given more so to the evil ones to soften the blows of evil and destruction at hand.

During the time of Jesus the events of demons were not a figurative language but rather real events in time. The Scripture speaks to us about the temptations, afflictions, and condescension and attacks on the nature of mankind. If the fallen angels have no recourse to return to their first estate, there is no reason they would stop their evil course of actions warring against God in full fury to gather as many people to remain with them in that fallen state as themselves. They have nothing to lose by being evil. We are told we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, in Ephesians chapter six verse 12.

[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We know of their existence and their presence by the fruit that each human being brings forth from the trunk of their tree. I believe after the fall of man, God clothed Adam and Eve so that they would not be a vehicle where demons could dwell. However, we can see in Scripture that demons do and can dwell in man. The human body in it’s fallen state can house demons and not only one but many and as many as a legion.

We give evil beings permission to work and to use us to stir up their mischief and commit their evil actions to harm others. We steer our ships into stormy seas by night and wonder why they are ship wrecked by morning. We allow evil in the universe one person at a time.

We may be at a loss to explain it perfectly, but our fruit is not hidden. The Light reveals it all to clearly. The work of evil angels simply put is a process of degradation to that of the condition of the “evil one”. Look at what Jesus says found in the book of John chapter 8 verse 44.

[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

This is a very strong statement. I do believe however he was talking to the evil spirits that were present in the people at the time when he said “ye are of your father the devil”. Of course the people hearing this were quite offended. Many of them were going through the motion of doing what is good and attending gatherings at Temple at set times according to that belief system. In the Bible 646 times the word wicked is used to describe many generations from Genesis to the book of Revelation. It was a terror to the demons to have someone able to address them individually and reveal their presence.

The Lord said to Cain “why is your countenance fallen?” If your countenance is lifted there is a sense of peace about you. In the case of Cain the Lord detected an underlying anger and resentment in his heart, an unhealthy desire. The Lord explains to Cain his choices of doing well, or not doing well. He continues to tell him if he does not do well, he will become one with iniquity, he will open himself up to receive it. The key to opening our self up to receive these evil beings is evil intention. One draws the other like two becoming one at a wedding. Sin and the sinner is an act of intercourse. In the story of Cain the fruit that was produced from this manner was murder. The earth received the blood of Abel and that became his prosperity.

Evil angels being in a wretched state, they are in are refrained from their full power, but indeed still do have the power to raise havoc. These evil beings do have a “prince” with great powers who drew the multitude of them to him. He exercises his authority over them and they are agents of mischief worldwide. In reality, the demons are more numerous than mankind who watch who they can devour and seduce men to complete ruin. People if not falling to the persuasion of evil spirits are falling to men who have fallen under the persuasion of evil spirits. Evil begets evil.

By explaining the existence of evil, we can avoid it. There is power in knowledge toward good.
By allowing evil spirits to live within us, these evil beings who hate God, we share in the great ruin and final forewarned sentence. There is no secret at what that is. Mathew chapter 25 verse 41 and verse 46.

[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
[46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Let us remember what David said in Psalms chapter seven verse 11.
[11] God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

The good news is we have the power to resist. There is a terrible doom that is prepared for Satan and his evil angels.

So the question is—is all mankind filled with demons?
