The Hunt: Fallen Angels & Religious Demons in Everyday Life

Many of the clientele that PSM deals with have undergone a spiritual torment of some variety. They have endured blasphemous thoughts, evil visions, religiosity and physical torment from demons and fallen angels among other things. What is shocking about it is that many of them only started experiencing such things after attending church and other religious practices!

Why are so many people experiencing these afflictions? Why and how are they led into it? And what can be done about it? All of these questions and more will be explored in this article. It is written that God’s people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Let this article serve as knowledge bestowed unto His people so that they may be learned when dealing with the forces of evil. For you, too, will experience a moment when Satan and his emissaries leap at you when you were doing nothing but going about your daily business.

This will be divided into 3 parts: 1) Understanding Satan’s motivations for attacking the saints, 2) how demons and fallen angels operate in everyday life and 3) what those in God, both born again and not, can do to deal with such attacks.

1: Understanding Satan’s motivations for attacking the saints.

I want you to think big picture for a moment. We live in a vast world with over 7 billion people on earth. Yet, there is a spiritual realm — one that is invisible — consisting of God, Satan, angels of God, angels of Satan, demons and more. All of these beings have the capability to do things that are impossible in the physical realm.

Where we come in is the fact that we are a special creation: Man. We were designed to have spiritual fellowship and worship with God. This puts us above all the animals of the earth and marks us as an object of hatred for Satan because we are a divinely crafted being that is meant to worship the one true God: Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Satan rebelled against God and set out to be god. Because of our unique nature, he seeks worship from us and control over us. God wants man to be redeemed and reconciled to Him; Satan wants man under his control and to be used against God’s will. This is the battleground of spiritual warfare we find ourselves in the midst of.

Furthermore, we know that man ultimately has one of two fates: being born again with the Spirit of God and reconciled to Him for all eternity, or suffering damnation due to their unrepentant soul remaining separated from God all throughout his life. Satan and his forces have been on earth for thousands of years and they have sharpened their skills in weaving deceit across the minds of man. The rivers of time flow with the souls of man floating across it quietly, while Satan comes crashing against them like a tidal wave seeking to bring them under into the depths.

The scriptures speak of the elect of God. They are the heirs of salvation. Many of the clientele who have come to PSM are the elect of God, waiting to be born again. This means that they are special targets of Satan because he especially revels in attacking those who are predestined to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now I want to bring you back to a point I made earlier: 7+ billion people live on the earth as we speak. Yet many more billions populated the world before our fleeting time here on earth. For all of those people who came before us over the course of thousands of years, these evil forces were working to bring about their destruction. And when their targets died and left the physical realm, they would go onto the next target(s). So these evil forces are extremely learned and skilled with crafting intricate plans to attack their targets.

For the people on earth, demons and fallen angels are assigned to them to bring about their downfall. So what do they do all day while we are living our daily lives? Demons and fallen angels spend their entire existence plotting the fall of man and acting out to lead them into spiritual pitfalls and traps. This brings us to the next point: exactly what it is that they do to deceive man.

2: How Demons and Fallen Angels Operate in Everyday Life

Let us look at how the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth described Satan. While rebuking the Pharisees in John 8:44, He said: “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”

So there it is: Satan’s main weapon of choice against man is lies. For more information on how lies affect soul and spirit, check out my article here: Lies and Deception Affect Both Soul & Spirit.

However, I want to bring this all together so that one may begin to understand what is going on in the spirit realm and how it affects the physical so that they may begin to think critically on their own situation and achieve victory.

A lie is a statement lacking in truth and planted to bring deceit into the mind of its hearer if they believe it. The full truth of a matter is not always immediate to the person who is looking at it. In the spirit, Satan and his workers are constantly at work creating false ideas to present to its target and lead them into other falsehoods to have more control of them. I will use myself as an example.

I grew up in a non-denominational church. This church was as modest as they come: no stained glass windows, a plain room with wooden walls and about 20 or 30 partakers total. We didn’t even have a pastor! Yet God the Holy Spirit was not there and He never was. Satan used his lie of this false Christianity and used my upbringing to start accepting its ideas. When I started getting blasphemous thoughts, he used the lie that I was eternally damned to bring fear into me which led to me partaking in more religious practices in an effort to draw near to God and receive mercy. However since this false brand of Christianity was under the devil who had made the lie, it granted him more control and power over me which led to the blasphemous thoughts and spiritual torment I would later face.

I need to take a moment to hammer this home: This is just ONE example of how a fallen angel led me into deceit. These demons and fallen angels use ALL MANNER of deceit to bring people into captivity. Think of the hundreds of false religions throughout the world; its partakers experience a counterfeit peace and think it is the real deal, living their entire lives in a house that was built on sand. It is not just religion. Nowhere close. Let me give you a list of some of the deceits that we see prevalent in the world today:

– That there is no God
– Conspiracy theories that lead its captives to paranoia
– Health practices like yoga which are seeing a surge, they come from ancient false religions
– Superstitions
– Belief in aliens
– Belief that one race is inherently superior to another: racism
– Extremist beliefs, often leading to violence
– That man can naturally be born homosexual
– Transgenderism
– Hundreds of false religions
– Sex before marriage is acceptable in the eyes of God
– That man is his own master and will save himself
– That sin does not exist
– There is no harm in marijuana nor other recreational drugs

And more. These are broad strokes, but Satan operates on much smaller scales if he needs to. For example, he has sent people to me who uttered a single sentence that he put in their mind to be used against me. This is happening all the time in the many interactions people are having with one another and they are none the wiser for it because they do not know that their thoughts are not always their own. The devil can plant lies and attacks in the people via thoughts to be used against others.

Every person has demons or fallen angels assigned to them. Those evil spirits constantly plot against the person and tailor-make a plan that will specifically work against that individual. Do you like to do drugs and enjoy a high? Satan will send someone your way with a fatal drug that will lead to overdose. Are you faithful and dutiful? He will lead you into a false religion that appeals to that part of your personality. Are you innately skeptical of authority? You will find conspiracies popping up on your Facebook feed and you will find yourself deep in the rabbit hole before you know it. Do you have a friend or family member whose beliefs differ from yours, or even agrees with a false religion or idea you follow? They, too, will be used to bring you deeper into deceit.

One way to look at it is that these demons’ efforts to destroy man is like a hunt. They are hunters seeking to kill their prey. It is the point of their existence, and nothing brings them more glee to see man destroyed by their wiles and tricks.

So what are we to do? While one should never live in fear, it seems the odds are stacked against us. We are up against fallen angels and demons, powers and principalities who have thousands of years’ worth of experience in sowing deceit and wreaking destruction. Satan is a skilled liar to the point that he has managed to convince a great many people that he does not even exist, along with many of his lies being accepted as common knowledge in the present day and age. How can we possibly outwit these evil forces and defend ourselves?

3: Dealing with demons and fallen angels

To begin rebuffing the devil, we must identify the root of the deception or attack that is being used against us. For those who are in spiritual torment I tell you this: you brought this on yourself due to a lack of knowledge. I say this with no harshness; I brought a severe demonic attack on myself years ago by praying to a false god in ignorance. So ask yourself: what lie did I believe, and what action did I take that has enabled these evil spirits to gain ground over my soul and influence my life to such a serious degree?

The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth said the truth will set you free. I never understood the significance of those words until I came to the ministry. I suffered a false conversion years ago. When I started counseling with Pastor Pam in 2016, one of the first spiritual gems she dropped on me was the fact that I was not truly born again. By accepting this truth, it allowed my mind to let go of the lie that I was born again and, in due time, enabled Pastor Pam to cure my torment through prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Lies are overturned with truth, which we should always strive to find. Many of you, like myself, had erroneously partaken in a religion that they thought was Christianity, only to be led astray and in torment like a sick practical joke.

Accepting truth and letting go of lies applies to other matters. It is through thorough research and being logical that we can start to gain a foothold in truth which will then rebuff lies that the devil comes at us with. If lack of knowledge is what destroys God’s people, it is the abundance of knowledge that will gain us victory. So be eager to learn the truth of all things, and do not simply take things at face value. Yet also forgive yourself if you walk into deceit, for it is by making mistakes that we learn.

One example of this that I will give is dreams. Many of the clientele that PSM works with have dreams, both from God and the devil. The ones from the latter are designed to bring the person into deceit. A few years ago, I was jumping rope and doing boxing exercises in the gym. One night, I dreamt that Pastor Pam called me and said, “It looks like you’re training to be a fighter. You should take up martial arts.”

I knew that martial arts employs eastern philosophies and practices in its teachings, and would give ground to the devil. So I kept with what I was doing and stayed content in it; I did not chase after a form of combat that would give the devil more ground over me. I knew that demons have the power to take other forms, so one posed as her in an effort to have me obey them.

In addition to this, demons always use fear to come at the captive. It is fear that gives the demons more access to the person and influence them so we must always be on guard against it. If a captive can manage to break through that fear, they demolish the control of the evil spirits attacking them. In the case of the non-born again, they must be bold. By that, I mean they must be “bulletproof” and willing to walk through the mental bullets firing at them through blasphemous thoughts, visions, physical torment, etc. You ever see the movies where a superhero like Superman or Ironman endures gunfire without a scratch? They don’t even flinch. That’s how one has to be like. Steadfast. Don’t stop your life just for religion’s sake. Keep marching strong! Then, your faith in Christ and your willpower strengthens. Don’t flinch, or buckle, or fret. Keep a cool head against these spiritual attacks and use your free will to act in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord God.

There is sometimes a need for more extreme action to be taken against the devils’ attacks. Some attacks are so serious that it takes prayer and intervention of God. Depending on what it is, He may deal with it by either immediately giving the person relief or leading them on a process of gaining healing over it. This is where counseling comes in, a service that Pastor Pam provides.

Lastly, I encourage the reader to be humble. It takes humility to accept the truth. Sometimes it is not easy to accept that one has been deceived, or that their own thinking has been incorrect and only led to more pain or torment. Yet you should take heart because it is written in the New Testament that God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. With grace comes healing. Do not hesitate to come to the Lord God in humility. In fact, that is the key to and the beginning of real healing.
