"The Devil has stalked the imagination of Western man as the personification of Evil, and The Reality of the Devil is an acutely perceptive study of the satanic condition. Dr. Anshen's book rids us of devilish misconceptions, leading us to perceive Satan as a great power in his own realm, a realm in which he is deadly serious in his effort to save and preserve the individual personality at any cost. To opt for God, however, precludes the utter loneliness guaranteed by alliance with the Devil. There is greatness on both sides, says the author, the choice is ours."--Back cover.
Satan is a man who walks and lives among us as a real person, yet a spirit appearing as a real person or human being! Only God can identify Satan in human form, also demons; those spirit persons without bodies do not possess transitional power as Satan. Demons cannot materialize, although they need human bodies to enter to perform their operation in the world. Demons are real spirit persons with all human characteristics. Demons, now spirit persons, articulate as well as any human being internally and externally in or out of the human body! Let no one fool you; even though Satan and demons are defeated foes, they still possess great power of influence over the world population because of human ignorance and lack of knowledge. They see and hear everything we do and speak. They are with us and in your presence at this very moment spiritually or physically or both. Demon spirits are assigned to us individually, forever lasting, including myself twenty-four hours a day! People, I stated earlier that they are spirited persons without bodies in search of human bodies to dwell in to perform the works of the devil. Once they enter human bodies, only the name of Jesus Christ and prayers can cast demons out or drive them out of whom they possess! These spirit persons, now demons, that has entered and possessed human bodies as their own are causing people to act violently, committing and performing acts never before committed. "It can't be expressed strong enough the reality of demon spirits are observing, waiting in the Earth's atmosphere for the opportunity to enter and possess human bodies to use as their own!" This is for the world! All mankind are under their invisible attack, every man, woman, or child. Yes, children of all ages are vulnerable of demon possession. The spirit world does discriminate in age nor race nor people of color. All are vulnerable! There isn't a person, dead or alive, that Satan or demons, those spirit persons, have not gone against spiritually or physically or attempted to enter by the power of the devil into the flesh of mankind, which many already has entered. Multitudes have no knowledge of their possession. Satan's spirit enters a person's body, sitting in the presence of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords; imagine what his spirit person is doing to those that are lost in the world. Believe me, he isn't alone when he came to steal, kill, or destroy by any means. In this book, Satan the Devil Walks the Earth as a Human Being!, You'll discover how these spirit persons, now demons, perform once they enter human bodies; also, you'll discover how these spirit persons, now demons, enter human bodies even my own of nearly forty years, without my knowledge they were in me. Also, you'll discover today more people are depressed, obsessed, oppressed, or possessed, or under some kind of demonic power of influence and control than ever before, including Christians, believers, nonbelievers, atheists, agnostics, Muslims, and all other religions throughout the entire world!
This lively and learned book traces the history of the concept of evil and its personification as the Devil from ancient times to the period of the New Testament and across cultures and civilizations.
Life is hard . . . then you die. It’s as simple as that. Dead bodies stay dead. So in this modern, scientific age, how can any reasonable person possibly believe that Jesus actually rose from the dead? Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy turned out to be myths. How is Jesus’s Resurrection any different? How can there possibly be any credible evidence for an event that happened two thousand years ago? The resurrection of Jesus is the most important event in the history of the world—if it’s true. If Jesus did rise, then he is God, the ultimate reality itself. In him, you can find the meaning of life, the secret of happiness, and the way to eternal life. Raising Jesus provides the evidence to show that it really is true. In this era of “alternative facts,” Raising Jesus relies on the most balanced and up-to-date scholarship to shed trustworthy new insights into the evidence. It does this in an easy-to-follow, systematic way using engaging illustrations to reveal the logic of complex arguments. Most importantly, it deals head on with the biggest problem most people in our modern, scientific age have with the resurrection: the philosophical objection that dead people simply don’t come back from the dead. Raising Jesus ultimately shows how believing Jesus rose from the dead is, in fact, the most reasonable conclusion you can make.
Books on the demonic abound, but not until Sydney H. T. Page's Powers of Evil has there been such a comprehensive biblical analysis of Satan and demons. Powers of Evil offers an exposition of every biblical reference to the demonic and analyzes historic and modern views. Page interprets particular passages from which some Bible readers have leaped to false conclusions. Studies of Jesus' confrontations with demons and of the exorcisms recorded in the Gospels and Acts examine the interplay of power and authority and the implications for the believer's stand in Christ.
The truth is we are all just a little bit crazy in some areas of our life to a whole lot of crazy. Being miss-directed is one of the things mankind has in common as the various forms of insanity work the same way in every one of us. We've all been programmed to unknowingly believe in a host of lies and it's our belief in the need to uphold the lies that do us in. There are laws that pertain to the universe. These laws cannot be broken without creating diverse consequences. With every action there is an opposite reaction of effect. And where do the decisions we make come from? They generally come from our minds. The question then becomes, "Who's controlling the mind?" If your mind is at work and in agreement with you then you would rightly say you are controlling your mind. But if you occasionally find that your mind is working against you then you should consider you are not solely in control. Jesus referred to Satan as, the father of lies. I intend to show how the workings of evil are constructed through the placement of lies and how these lies in combination are at work to disrupt our lives. I will show how the longest and greatest lie is packaged and how the six major steps that makes up a combined package works powerfully against you. Then I will show how the effects from the lies get all mixed in with the pain you experience and how the end results can be devastating. This book is about our need for revelation and offers the reader an opportunity to begin a personal journey with life as it truly is. This is a lifelong journey in Spirit and truth and it begins with your full recognition of the need for having God working continuously in your life.
Mephistopheles is the fourth and final volume of Jeffrey Burton Russell's critically acclaimed history of the concept of the Devil, continuing in this volume the story from the Reformation to the present.
