TRUTH OR DELUSION
"To exchange the priceless heritage of Christianity for the Humanistic philosophy is to forsake the truth for a strong delusion and believe a lie. Adherents of the Antichrist will travel that road." D. Charles Duncome, East Moves West.
SATAN’S OFFICE
There is one Satan – he is one individual and is not omniscient, omnipresent or omnipotent as God.
Satan is in charge as Chief of Staff of the fallen angels his officers and demons his foot soldiers.
Demons are very conscious of authority and adhere slavishly to the "spiritual chain of command" and the line of satanic power structure. There are Chief Kings and Chief Princes and under them are powers and rulers who govern over various geographical and spiritual areas. There are kingdoms, principalities, dominions and powers which are administered by kings and princes.
For example, each state in the United States is ruled over by a fallen angel that is called “the Angel in the whirlwind.” Each state has a principality and every city a principality. The control of a geographical area seems to rest on the success of a prince in controlling the majority of the persons within that place; however, it also has to do with the ferocity and power of that prince.
A general is in charge of a legion (6,000) while a prince will control a number of legions. A ruler or captain commands a cohort (600), and there can be chief captains and chief rulers with still more authority. A centurion controls 100 demons and if he controls less than a hundred demons he is called a strongman. Any demon in authority will direct how many, and when and where pain spirits are to attack, and how sustained the attack is to be. These pain spirits are called Imps by those in charge. Because of the rigid authority structure, a wise move in dealing with spirits is to bind all the spirits, especially the ruling ones, and the ones of violence, fighting and murder. In the Scriptures, both holy and unholy spirit beings are designated as angels (Rev. 12:7). As Dr. Chafer says, "In power, prominence and importance, Satan appears in the Bible in the spiritual realms, second only to the Trinity.”
Mrs. Jesse.Penn-Lewis, War on the Saints defines the satanic forces described in (Eph. 6:12), as: "Principalities ~ force and dominion dealing with nations and governments; Powers ~ having authority and power of action in all the spheres open to them; World Rulers ~ governing the darkness and blindness of the world at large; Wicked Spirits ~ in heavenly places ~ the forces being directed in and upon the Church of Jesus Christ in wiles, fiery darts, onslaught, and every conceivable deception about doctrine, which they are capable of planning.”
She continues: "All 'teaching' originating from deceiving spirits weakens the authority of the Scriptures; distort the teaching in the Scriptures; add to the Scriptures the thoughts of men; or put the Scriptures entirely aside . . . The test of all thought and belief therefore is its harmony with the written Scriptures in its full body of truth, and the attitude to the cross, and sin.”
