“Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.”2 Corinthians 11:14-15

How do we recognize the work of Satan and his demons? It’s a mistake to assume the devil’s works always appear dark and poisonous, violent and disgusting, extreme and shocking. In fact, the Bible says the opposite often is true. Satan frequently appears to be the essence of goodness. He can disguise himself as a paragon of virtue, a genuine “angel of light.” The same is true for demonic spirits. The Bible calls them his “servants,” for they do Satan’s bidding and serve him. These demons can transform their appearance to make themselves seem completely different from what they really are. Consider what this means! Think about all the ways these evil spirits can be disguised. They can appear to be workers of good deeds, positive and wholesome, warm and caring, generous and concerned, or even Godly and righteous. Today, remember that Satan and his demons are masters of lies (John 8:44). They’re working harder than ever before to deceive and trick God’s people and the nations of the world. They’re disguising themselves in many clever and deceptive ways. Make sure that you “do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). Immerse yourself in the Bible, and stay close to the Lord. Pray and fast. Be filled with Holy Spirit, and learn to discern spiritual truths. Brothers & Sisters stay alert, always testing the spirits in prayer. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and give you discernment. The spiritual battle is real, but God will give you victory!
