Bible passage: Isaiah 14:12-17
“12. How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 13. You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. 14. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. "
From today, over the course of several weeks, I intend to deliver sermons about the spiritual realm, specifically the world of evil spirits. There are many people who believe in God and attend church, but have no knowledge at all about the world of evil spirits.
Since we are now in the final days when the spiritual realm is in turmoil, if we do not understand the world of evil spirits - Lucifer, the dragon, the dragon's messengers, Satan, devils, and demons - the risk and possibility of being deceived by these evil spirits will increase.
Even when hearing the voices of the world of evil, some mistakenly believe they are hearing the voice of God or the voice of the Holy Spirit, and they are deceived and taken captive.
Andiko la Biblia: Isaya 14:12–17
“12. Jinsi ulivyoanguka kutoka mbinguni, Ewe nyota ya alfajiri, mwana wa asubuhi! Umetupwa chini hata nchi, wewe uliyeyashusha mataifa! 13. Nawe ulisema moyoni mwako, ‘Nitapanda mpaka mbinguni, nitakiinua kiti changu juu kuliko nyota za Mungu; nitaketi juu ya mlima wa mkutano, katika pande za mwisho za kaskazini. 14. Nitapaa kupita vimo vya mawingu, nitafanana na yeye Aliye Juu.’”
Kuanzia leo, kwa majuma kadhaa, ninakusudia kuhubiri kuhusu ulimwengu wa kiroho, hasa ulimwengu wa roho waovu. Watu wengi humwamini Mungu na kuhudhuria kanisani, lakini hawajui kabisa kuhusu ulimwengu wa roho waovu.
Kwa kuwa sasa tuko katika siku za mwisho, ambapo ulimwengu wa kiroho una msukosuko, tusipouelewa ulimwengu wa roho waovu—Lusifa, joka, wajumbe wa joka, Shetani, ibilisi na mapepo—hatari na uwezekano wa kudanganywa na roho hao waovu utaongezeka.
Wengine husikia sauti za ulimwengu wa uovu na kudhani kimakosa kuwa ni sauti ya Mungu au ya Roho Mtakatifu; hivyo hudanganywa na kuchukuliwa mateka.
