Demons
aka Martians

The thief
does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. - John 10:10a NKJV.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. - Ephesians
6:10-12 NKJV.

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near
to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and
purify your hearts, you double-minded. - James 4:7-8 NKJV.

50-year-old Keith Rasmussen says that he was on his way to kill his sister with
a knife when he was distracted by the Visions Night Club in Racine, Wisconsin.
After Keith was kicked out of the club, he then rammed his car through the wall
of the night club. A police spokesman, Joel DeSpain, reports
that Rasmussen was located nine blocks from the night club and that he “denied
driving the SUV to that location” because “he said
that he arrived there with the help of Martians.” Keith
was charged with Driving while Intoxicated, Reckless Driving, Hit and Run,
Reckless Endangerment, Disorderly Conduct, Criminal Damage to Property, and he
was surprisingly released after he posted a $2800 bail.

If you have never read Frank Peretti's books “This Present Darkness” and “Piercing
the Darkness” you ought to. Peretti provides in his books a vivid presentation
of the spiritual warfare that is going on all around us. There is a constant
spiritual battle going on for the souls of all men, women, boys, and girls on
Planet Earth. Satan has been at work causing trouble for the human race since
the very beginning in the Garden of Eden. It was satan aka the serpent who
tempted Eve saying in Genesis 3:1-5, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall
not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We
may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor
shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You
will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will
be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Satan
and his demonic minions have been busy ever since causing havoc everywhere they
can. However, 60% of Americans according to a poll conducted in 2004 do not
believe satan is a living being, but only a symbol of evil. Maybe it is just
those Martians!

The Bible makes it clear that demons are not merely a psychological
hallucination, and that they are very real. It is recorded in the Bible that
Jesus cast demons out of people (Matthew 17:18; Mark 1:34; Mark 5) as did
the apostle Paul. To deny that there is a devil and demons is to deny the truth
of the Bible. You can blame it on the Martians, or you can be spiritually aware
of the war that is being fought around you. As the apostle James says you
should “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
