Power from the Dark Side Part 4 of 4 (The Invisible World)

May 10, 2013

At times, the powers of Satan seem overwhelming. Evil-doers prosper; good people suffer. It’s good to remember that the ultimate victory belongs to Jesus and to His people. In this message, we’ll draw from the miracles done by the Apostle Paul at Ephesus, where sorcerers burned their demonic writings as the power of the Holy Spirit fell on the crowd.

The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

In the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the King of Rohan has an aide always whispering cunning words of evil in his ear. His name is Gríma Wormtongue. In this mythical world, he fed the king lies. But false prophets are prevalent in the real world as well. These agents of the devil spread falsehoods about God to a gullible public.  In today’s message, learn more characteristics of false prophets.

We all know that miracles can happen through the power of God, but did you know that Satan can perform miracles, too? It’s vital to discern whose power is on display when something supernatural happens. In today’s message, we’ll take a look back to the days of the Apostle Paul, when God did mighty miracles through His servant. And we’ll learn what set these miracles apart from those demons performed.

Some call it “black magic.” But it’s really Satan. He gives spiritual power to deceived people—and it is not a power for good. Through Satanic rituals, sorcery, charms, and other means, the devil enslaves his victims in a world of false religion, a world of evil, and a world of bondage.

Some people think the Bible is full of “thou shalt nots...” They have no use for a book that limits their freedoms in any way. But the problem is some “freedoms” are really chains of slavery. That’s the case for any means of seeking knowledge from the dark side, from Satan and his demons in the guise of mediums. Learn why God forbids this activity, and what can happen when we disobey.

Books that always seem to be popular are those that tell of near-death experiences, and the wonderful heaven that awaits us all. But the problem with most of them is that the books don’t mention any need for faith in Christ as the means to get there. The devil is deceiving multitudes into thinking that there’s no need to fear death; all will be okay.

God’s word is very clear: we’re not to consult mediums or fortune-tellers for guidance of any kind. But King Saul did so anyway to help him fight the Philistines. The knowledge he gained came from the dark side of the invisible world, and God was not pleased.

In eternity past, a civil war took place in heaven. Some of God’s angels rebelled, and a great darkness began. Satan and his forces were cast to Earth where, to this day, they’re at war with the people of God. They’re always seeking to destroy what God is building. Sometimes, through divination, demons seek to lure people into their trap. In today’s message learn Satan’s methods and our best defense.

God does not limit Himself to church buildings when He wishes to speak to His children. A man named Jacob found that out when God came to him when he was sleeping on the ground using a rock for a pillow. In a dream, he learned of God’s plans for him and his nation. That place became sacred and Jacob called it “the gate of heaven.” Today: how each of us can meet God in the very same way.

You might remember a Sunday School song called, “We are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder.” So, what’s that ladder all about? Jacob had a dream in which angels were ascending and descending a ladder that went from Earth to Heaven.  Today, we’ll find out what that ladder means, and how God used that imagery to bridge the gap between our visible world and His invisible one.

We live in a visible world, but around us is an equally real invisible world. Sometimes the two intersect very tangibly. God may intervene supernaturally when we least expect it. That happened many times in both the Old and New Testaments. In today’s message, God speaks to a man in a dream, and reveals that man’s future destiny. This divine intersection is often called “Jacob’s ladder.”
