Since the beginning of time, war has been waged against Christ and all those who believe in Him. Satan has made every allowable attempt to rid the world of believers and those who profess Jesus as their one true Lord and Savior. Satan’s conquest to seek out believers forces us to consider that the battle is no figment of our imagination; it exists, and if it exists, then God exists.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
“…Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.” Luke 22:31
Whether you want to believe it or not Satanic Ritual abuse and demons are real and sadly very abundant in our culture today. In the video below I interview Russ Dizdar, a deliverance pastor whos shares his unspeakable encounters with the supernatural…

“the battle is no figment of our imagination; it exists, and if it exists, then God exists.”
No doubt about it. We are only here because we were created, we did not put ourselves here nor is the the false story of evolution our reason for being here. God certainly exists and Satan, who was once a beautiful angel, is now the chief adversary of God. The name Satan means ( when translated) resister. Satan did not always have that name. Rather, this descriptive name was given to him because of his taking a course of opposition and resistance to God. He is also known as the Devil which means “Slanderer.” Satan was given the name Devil because he is the chief and foremost slanderer and false accuser of God Almighty. Satan has lied about God and challenged the rightfulness of his rule over his creation. He began doing so early on, soon after the creation of man. He continues to do so down to our day and he also attacks those who believe in and who worship the living God, our creator. But Satan’s days are numbered and very short now. We know this because God has promised in his word the Bible that Satan will be removed from the earth and all influence over mankind very soon now, forever. Although under constant attack from Satan, Christians have complete faith that God will very soon now rescue his people from the murderous hand of this resister, this slander of the true God. A few scriptures to share in regard to the beginning of Satan and his lies against God and what awaits this opposer of God and what awaits God’s faithful servants in the future:
The beginning of rebellion against God and the lying slander against God:
(Genesis 3:1-5) . . .Now the serpent was the most cautious of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it said to the woman: “Did God really say that you must not eat from every tree of the garden?” 2 At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. 3 But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” 4 At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. 5 For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad. . .
Satan accuses worshipers of God as not loving God or being loyal to him:
(Revelation 12:10) . . .because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God. . .
Satan taunts God Almighty: (Proverbs 27:11) . . .Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me.
Jesus died to free us from sin and death caused by Satan the Devil: (Hebrews 2:14) . . .., so that through his [Jesus] death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil. . .
Satan’s days are numbered. He will in due time be destroyed by God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ:
(Revelation 12:12) . . .Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”
(Revelation 20:1-3) . . .And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore. . .
Death for Satan: (Revelation 20:10) . . .And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulfur. . .
After Satan is destroyed then mankind and the earth will rejoice and have peace with Christ as their leader and King:
(Revelation 21:1-4) . . .And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 I also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
(Revelation 21:5-7) . . .And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” 6 And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone thirsting I will give from the spring of the water of life free. 7 Anyone conquering will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son. . .
(Revelation 22:1, 2) . . .And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of its main street. On both sides of the river were trees of life producing 12 crops of fruit, yielding their fruit each month. And the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations.
(Revelation 22:17) . . .And the spirit and the bride keep on saying, “Come!” and let anyone hearing say, “Come!” and let anyone thirsting come; let anyone who wishes take life’s water free.
