We all know that Satan has a definite plan. He invisible and very powerful. Therefore, we must make ourselves aware of his schemes. His method is deception and his target is the mind of man. He desires to see the unsaved damned, He further desires to see the saved defeated. To withstand the enemy we must have our minds filled with the Word of God. The importance of this is extremely increased because Satan has a host of helpers, referred to as demons, working with him in his unholy pursuit for the minds of men. Let me caution you before we go any further.
We need to understand what the Word of God has to say about these evil companions of the devil. To help you understand the powers of darkness, it will be the purpose of this message to present to you a Demon Diagram. Let us consider first of all consider the demon's master. You may learn much about a person by knowing whom he follows. The demon's leader is mentioned as the prince of the devils (demons). He is also known as Beelzebub. Different meanings are attached to this name: Lord of flies, Lord of dung, Lord of habitation, or Lord (Beel) of dung (zebub). The term zebub comes from a root which has the shade of meaning to dangle and move back and forth. Could this, when connected with the idea of habitation, have anything to do with demonic possession taking place as a charm or amulet being dangled back and forth to put one in a hypnotic state? You decide! The significance of the title is clear when we consider the filthiness of dung and the torment and spread of disease and germs of the fly. Flies can affect and infect all sorts of people. So can Satan. No one is immune to him.
