The Prince of Darkness Arrives. Part [10] 08/30/2025 (Morning thought)

Mark 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he tears him: and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and pines away: and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

Mark 9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

There’s a popular saying that goes like this: “If you see something, say something.” Do you mean to say that in all of these examples, not a single individual ever saw the prince of darkness? Not one? Not even king David who was blessed with such great spiritual discernment did not see anything?

Since that is true, it tells us that we are in very deep trouble, in the here and now, where we are seeing droppings and pellets piling up all over, the natural byproducts of the prince of darkness falling left right and center across the entire globe. And yet, no real to life devil is ever seen!

Mark 9:26 And the spirit cried and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

 May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Prince of Darkness Arrives. Part [9] 08/30/2025 (Evening thought)

Matthew 16: 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for you savor not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

1st Samuel 16:14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. 15 And Saul's servants said unto him, behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles thee. 23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand: so, Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

1st Samuel 18:10 And it came to pass that on the morrow the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. 11 And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

John 13:26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, what you do, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spoke this unto him.

Mark 9: 17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
