Fellowshipping with Devils

Fellowshipping with Devils

God has called his people to be Holy. Holy means separate or set apart. As Christians we are to be separated from sin and the devil and set apart for the cause of God. One attempt of Satan has always been to gray the area that distinguishes between right and wrong. Those underneath his deep control such as Satanists and Witches have similar beliefs that there is no right and wrong. They, not by coincidence might I add, profess there is no good or bad and no God or Devil. This is very strange but it is true that organized Satanists don’t believe in a real God or even a real Devil. They as well as witches declare neutrality, being neither good nor bad. But God’s word is very clear about the line between what is right and wrong. However despite the specific standard set in the Word of God, many people including Christians continue to attempt to fellowship with both God and the Devil. Let’s consider this matter a little further.

God’s goal is fellowship with man.

It is very clear that God from the beginning desired fellowship with His creation. We see it from the time that He walked and talked with Adam and how He continued to commune with the heart of man throughout the ages. Jesus came to die for our sins. He literally dealt with the sin problem of humanity at Calvary. What was the sin problem? The sin problem is this: God is holy and can/will not tolerate sin. God created man for fellowship but when man sinned against God in the garden it drove a wedge in between their relationship. Man was unable to settle the account incurred by sin so God sent his son to pay the debt full, free, and clear. Now unabated fellowship with God is once again possible.

1Cor.1:9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Satan’s goal is to infiltrate and ultimately destroy that fellowship of God and man.

Satan, being the enemy of God, hates and opposes all that is of God and all that God wants. He recognizes that God’s primary goal is fellowship with humanity. He attempts to enter that relationship and destroy it much as an adulteress mistress would a solid marriage. Any “affair” is a victory for him. His ultimate goal is to completely sever ones fellowship with God by continually contaminating that person with his own thinking. He does this when we commune with him rather than God.

Joh.10:10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Why you can’t fellowship with both.

God is a Jealous God and He won’t share. God and Satan are enemies so one must decide whose side they are on. We are repeatedly told in the Word to abstain from fellowshipping with darkness, the devil, and even the world.

1Cor.10:20. But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

2Cor.6:14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Eph.5:11. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them

Ways to tell if you have been fellowshipping with the devil.

There are simple obvious ways to tell if you have been fellowshipping with the devil. For instance if a person uses manipulation and devious scheming to get what they desire it is obvious they are under the influence of a demonic spirit just as Jezebel, who controlled her husband Ahab and killed many prophets of the LORD. And no doubt the corrupt leader who remains in position but has forsaken God and his ways is “in the same boat” as King Saul, who was the first king over Israel. But the most simple and easy way to determine if you have been fellowshipping with the devil is this: “Do you attempt to deceive”. The only tool attributed to the devil in all the word of God is his ability to deceive. He is a liar and the father of every lie. So if we in any way are attempting to deceive someone or we simply try to conceal the truth (i.e. a half truth or only part of the truth), whatever it may be concerning, we must understand we are taking on devilish thinking.

Joh.8:44-45. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Jesus spoke this to the religious leaders who were hypocritical. In essence Jesus was saying, ‘seeing as you are so hypocritical and can’t recognize who I am, it is evident you have been spending time with the devil because you are acting and talking just like him’.

In conclusion let’s look at some things that John wrote concerning fellowship to see who we really should be fellowshipping with.

1Jo.1:3-7. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
