The Apostle Paul described the influence of a demonic ruler called a principality over the region in which the city of Ephesus was located.
Acts 19 tells us this principality was known as the great goddess Diana. This classification of demonic spirits influences people’s thinking and beliefs.
The god of this world
Satan is called the god of this world who blinds the mind, 2 Corinthians 4:4
In Revelation 12, the god of this world is called the great red dragon, Satan, the Devil, and Serpent of old, who deceives the whole world.
Revelation 18, He uses sorcery
“… for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” Revelation 18:23
The biblical definition of sorceries is medication, magic. It is the word that the Bible uses to describe Simon
He uses persasive arguments, illusions and lies, false promises to win people over to his way of thinking.
The Danger of Dominion
Dominion is something God invested in us as his creation. It is the most dangerous part of our DNA because, when exercised, it determines our future course. For example, for years, I chose man as my source. I charged everything on credit cards, and I was thousands of dollars in debt.
When I realized I had a covenant with God, who promised to supply all my needs, I fully turned to him and sought his kingdom and his way of doing things. God’s life began manifesting in me, things turned for me, and I became debt-free.
Give us a man
In the days of the prophet Samuel, the elders of Israel were faced with the same issues we are faced with today, corruption in leadership. So the people asked Samuel to give them a king to lead them and fight their battles. They said, we want to like others nations.
God told Samuel to do as the people asked; God said, they have not rejected you; they have rejected me that should not reign over them.
In reality, they rejected the kingdom of God for the kingdom of man or God’s system for man’s system.
People are doing the same thing today! People who are saved never graduate from kindergarten in the things of the kingdom. They were blinded by the systems of man, democrats, republicans, communism, democracy, capitalism.
I am so glad that I paid off my Sears Credit card. God broke the cycle of debt. I had to decide to save money in an emergency savings account so that when needs came up, I could tap into my emergency savings instead of running to a credit card.
The annual interest rate (apr) was 16% when I got out of debt. Today, that interest rate doubled to 34.24%
Dominion
It actually comes down to a choice. Who is your source of life? What tree are you eating from? Are you drinking from the well of living waters? Have you come to the table of blessing and feasting on the bread of life?
Grace & peace!
