Satan is a demon.
Satan is a dragon who lead astray 1/ 3 of the angels in Heaven.
Satan appears to some as an Angel of Light.
Demons used to be angels. God created angels NOT demons.
Demons mimic angels for they are also spiritual creatures.
The Bible lists at least three sources of demons: the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet.
Revelation 16:13-14
King James Version (KJV)
13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Demons REBELLED and refuse to do the task they were told to do. they were the angels that men worshiped. Instead of teaching them to worship God most High they decided to get men to worship and place them on shrines and make idols to them.
Angels are created to minister and teach people the laws and commandments of God but some refuse and teach lies and doctrines of demons instead.
Fallen Angels ARE demons, but they chose which illusion to use to deceive you.
GOD rules the world. He has his angels teach people and those spirits draw them closer to Him and help remind them to keep His commandments.
however demons who pretend to be angels give excuses and tempts people to sin and helps them justify why they should continue sinning instead of following God's Holy SPirit and His guidance. they build up the person's fleshly desires like pride, anger, bitterness. they remind them that they are already corrupt and sinful so why not just do it ONE more time and then one more and more. they plant seeds with their words that grow into tares that choke out the Words of GOD and makes people unfruitful in their walk with Christ.
that is why diligence is needed.
Meditate not upon demons but upon GOD and what is benefical and good for you to grow in HIS light and love.
meditate upon these words and seek first the Kingdom of God and all else will be taken care of.
God has given you a shield of faith, a helmet of salvation, a belt of truth, shoes of the gospel of peace and a sword of the Spirit to divide truth from lies. He has placed a hedge of angels to surround and protect you from the evil spiritual forces.
focus now on growing mature in the Lord so you can aid your brethren in their fight to overcome this world and the darkness that surrounds us.
For God has already given us ALL that we need to live a godly life and through the knowledge of Christ we may have grace and peace.
2 Peter 1
2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
