THE LIFE OF JESUS
Part 23: Spiritual Possession |
|
The early church had an explosive growth rate after
Pentecost due the spiritual possession that occurred with the
baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament records possession by
evil spirits since the days of Adam and Eve. On the other hand,
there was no baptism of the Holy Spirit prior to the day of
Pentecost. Holy men of God were anointed by the Holy Spirit but
that's where it ended. As a result, God's people were handicapped in
the Old Testament. Samson could only perform miracles when the
anointing came upon him, but demon possessed people were active all
the time. With the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the playing field
changed as Christians are now superior to demon possessed people.
This is not a denominational issue and comes down to whether you
believe the Bible is actually the Word of God? If the answer is yes,
then you know the Devil, fallen angels and evil spirits exist and
can protect yourself accordingly. If the answer is no, then you are
at the mercy of Satan and his minions as you ineffectually try to
deal with their traps. The choice is yours. |
