The Third Eye Perspective:
By Carlos C. Brown
Thought For Today – “Does Hell Know Who You Are?”
I have spoken on a similar topic before about whether or not Satan was familiar with you. The fact of the matter is, if Hell doesn’t know who you are, that is not a good thing at all. It means that you are a lost soul, wandering around in the world without any Heavenly purpose whatsoever. And like a leaf that has fallen from a tree, you are being blown around in any direction the wind so chooses to blow. You might feel you are doing good to the fact of Hell not knowing your name, but you would be sadly mistaken. “I am just flying under the radar of Hell so that Satan doesn’t come after me,” you might think or believe. But the fact of the matter is, that Hell might not know you at that very moment in time, but come Judgment day you will have a FIRST CLASS ticket on the Hell Express. With that being said, it is with this train of thought, or line of thinking that I had it placed on my heart this morning to talk about, “Does Hell Know Who You Are?” and AMEN goes right here! It you would be so kind as to turn with me into your Bibles to the book of Acts and specifically the 19th chapter and starting around the 11th verse, you’ll read about a story involving God passing some of His power on to Paul. The Bible states that Paul had become so powerful as a Disciple, that all he had to do was touch a piece of clothing or handkerchief and when that piece of fabric would touch a sick person, they would be healed. Paul performed numerous miracles of healing like this, and even when his shadow fell upon sick or dead people, they would be healed and or brought back to life. Now that’s pretty astonishing when you stop and think about it! Imagine how many people who were attracted or drawn to him for the only reason of wanting to witness his great power and the miracles he performed? People love being a part of a miracle, and they’ll turn right around and forget they even know you if something happens and you can’t perform them anymore.
In those same verses (Acts 19: 11-20) you’ll read where some priests tried to imitate or duplicate some of Paul’s miracles. They tried to cast out devils or evil spirits from a person. Now watch this, because they didn’t believe in Paul being Blessed enough to have the same or similar type of power that Jesus possessed they said the following: verse #13, “Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcist, took upon themselves to call over them which had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “we adjure you by Jesus whom Paul Preacheth about.” In other words, “we cast you out evil spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ whom we hear Paul preaches about.” They didn’t even believe in Jesus Christ as being the Lord and Savior at all, they were just attracted to the power that He possessed! Now watch this, the evil spirits RESPONDED back to them! As I have heard Pastor Ron Carpenter say when he preached on this subject, “it is a pretty serious situation when a demon or evil spirit responds to you! That is what happens when you play with God and don’t recognize Him for WHO He is!” Check this out though, the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know too, but who are ye (you)?” Now think about the seriousness of this for a moment, imagine you are trying to cast out a demon or evil spirit in someone and the evil spirit tells you, “I DON’T know WHO you are!” And you are doing this based on using the name of Jesus Christ and Paul, and the spirt tells you that they don’t recognize who you are? What this means exactly, is that you have done NOTHING whatsoever to be a threat to the dark forces of Hell, nor anything significant enough for the advancement of Kingdom (Heaven) building! That is a very, VERY, serious issue. Don’t believe me? I’ll be glad to show you why in these next few verses. Verse #16, “And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed (aka took over their bodies) against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.” In other words, because the evil spirits didn’t recognize them as having the same power of Jesus Christ like Paul did, the evil spirits jumped out of the man they were in, and jumped into the Priests who were pretending they had Jesus type powers. These priests were beaten up and down, and then made to flee the house they were in as they say in the south…. “bucked naked!” This is why it is NOT a wise decision to play with God! And AMEN goes right here!
There is another Biblical teaching that goes along with this. It is about another demon possessed person that came to meet Jesus and the Disciples after the storm incident on the sea of Galilee. They had just reached the shores of Gadarenes. When Jesus came out of the ship, immediately there met Him a man with an unclean spirit who had been dwelling among the tombs. The Bible says that “no man could bind nor train him, not even with chains. It also said that he would spend night and day in the mountains in the tombs crying and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus from afar off, he ran and worshipped Him. Pause…..think about the significance of the fact, that despite being overcome by an “unclean spirit,” the man still recognized Jesus Christ and ran towards Him to worship Him. In Mark 5: 6-7 it reads, “But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped Him, #7 and cried with a loud voice and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.” Jesus then spoke to the demons, “come out of the man thou unclean spirit, what is thou name?” And the demon answered, “My name is Legion: for we are many.” As the story would go, Jesus commanded the demons to exit the man and they pleaded with Jesus to send them to the big herd of swine feeding on the mountainside. Jesus granted their request and the spirits entered into the bodies of the swine and then ran off a steep cliff and into the sea where they drowned. I remember very well hearing Pastor Ron Carpenter preach about the fact that demons were very organized. He stated that he didn’t know of any place in the Bible, where demons were ever fighting each other. Think about that for a moment or two? Hell is made up of Legions of demons and evil spirits. Remember, 1/3 of the Angels in Heaven were kicked out along with Lucifer (aka Satan) after their rebellion against God. No one knows how many that 1/3 was, but it appears to be a whole lot of them! The moral to this devotional, is that if you don’t know Jesus Christ personally, how can you reap the Promises of God on the one hand, and then use the power He has given each of us to perform great feats in His name? In this case, rebuking demons/evil spirits out of someone who is overcome by them? If you are doing anything worthwhile for the Kingdom of Heaven, Hell WILL know your name! More importantly, you should be considered a major threat to Hell if you are doing your job as a born again Christian. Can I leave you with a question to ponder today if I may?
“Does The Dark Forces (Demons, Satan, Evil Spirits, etc..) of Hell Know Your Name Because They Fear The Work That You Are Doing For The Kingdom of Heaven? If not, what are you waiting on? Can I Get An AMEN???
“Today, decide to become a “Ride or Die” Christian for Jesus Christ! Afterall, isn’t that exactly what He did for us on the Cross?”
