The Veil (3) Evil

A few weeks ago, I read a book called The Veil by Blake Healy. One thing that I like about the book is his laid back approach. Unlike many writers on these things, Blake does not get all stirred up about evil and demons.

The truth is that demons are more attracted by what you think than what you do. The deeper truth is that know who you are in Christ determines how you think. The only way to know who you are in Christ is to know what he things about you. That is to say, if you know what God has to say about you then the lies of the enemy seem silly. This is the majority of what you need to know about dealing with demons.

If you can’t view the demonic from the perspective of heaven you will only confuse yourself and what your time.

Demons don’t like you. Any demon that finds you in its sights is going to do everything in its power to steal, kill and destroy everything good about your life. The nice thing is that, for the most part, this isn’t really a big deal.

For the most part, you spirit is quite adept at repelling attacks without your notice.

If your are living a life connected to God and making decisions that protect that connection, the demonic should rarely factor into your life.

The interesting about demonic influence, it feels so real when you’re in the middle of it, but the moment you see it clearly it’s no more threatening than a paper-mache bunny.
