Have you ever had a feeling that someone or something else was influencing your thoughts, causing you to say or do things that you normally would not say or do? Or, like a lot of people, have you ever felt as though you or someone you know was living under a curse when it seems like you are being blocked at every turn, or you constantly fail in your dreams and aspirations? Or, maybe you have wondered why seemingly ordinary people are doing all the ‘bad’, even ‘shocking things’ that they are doing? So, what can explain the many ‘bad deeds’, happening in the world today, both major and minor, that we see or hear about almost daily, either in person or in the media? Well, if any of this sounds familiar, then read on… You are about to discover the ‘truth’ about what is ‘really’ behind all the HATE and VIOLENCE that’s going on in this world today. You see, the Holy Scriptures sheds a lot of light on this subject... It accurately identifies key reasons why people act in ways that they know to be bad as you will discover in the following chapters. The scriptures reveal how at times some people can feel driven by unseen forces or circumstance to do what they otherwise would not do. This is because, whether we know it or not, according to scripture, all of us humans are being influenced by either GOOD or BAD ‘Invisible Spiritual Forces’, making us susceptible to either right or wrong thinking that leads us to say the things that we say, or do the things that we do? Most of understand that our thoughts are actually ‘energy’ and every single thought we think can either ‘negatively’ or ‘positively’ impact our lives. In fact, according to the Holy Scriptures the thoughts we think everyday can be, and possibly are influenced by REAL 'Invisible Spiritual Forces' (God, Angels, the Devil and Demons), to name the main ones. Moreover, the Holy Scriptures teach us that every day, we are bombarded with countless suggestions and temptations to do wrong from the BAD spiritual forces that are trying to do us harm and block what God is trying to do in our lives (Spiritual Warfare). Yep, whether you believe it or not, spiritual warfare is a true fact... You see, the scriptures teach us that it is a battle that is primarily a matter of the mind; a battle fought in our minds for control of our mind or (thoughts).
In effect, what is happening is, this 'invisible spiritual battle' is being waged by Satan and his demon forces to, as stated before; hinder our progress, do us harm and interfere with what God is trying to do in our lives (John 10:10). This is why we all need to understand the operation of these forces that move people to do terrible things. For example, Ephesians 6:12 in the Holy Scriptures describe our interactions with these 'bad' spiritual entities, as you will discover in this guide. As a matter of fact, the reason these demon forces want to control your mind is because your thoughts determines your emotions, the words you speak, the actions you take and can even affect your health. To be sure, these bad 'invisible spiritual forces' can have a tremendous impact and even 'wreck havoc' in our lives, because everything we say and do, does comes from what we are thinking or moreover, (what we are influenced to think). As a result, the main reason most believers in Christ struggle in their walk with the Lord is a lack of knowledge of the spiritual battles that’s going on in the minds of believers everyday. Not only that, but these bad 'Invisible Spiritual Forces' can even use the people you come into contact with everyday; ie friends, love ones, strangers, etc, as their base of operation against you, as you will discover when you read this book. Therefore, my intentions in writing this bible study guide is to show you exactly what the Holy Scriptures teach about these ‘spiritual forces’, their ‘base of operations’, and how we are instructed to interact with the 'good' ones and ‘deal’ with the 'bad' ones (get rid of them). With the hope that you will come to understand the importance of removing 'Demonic Activity' from your life and keeping your mind renewed and free from 'demonic influence' by using the tools (weapons) that the Lord has given to us in the Holy Scriptures. In essence, by making you aware of these 'Invisible Spiritual Forces' that are operating in and around a person's life, and the God given 'authority' that you have to 'deal' with the 'bad' ones, I pray, will open your eyes to scripture truths that enable you to better see in a more spiritual way and how your life has been and can be 'influenced personally' by these supernatural beings. Now, prepare to be informed and amazed as we look deeper into these ‘Invisible Spiritual Forces’…
