According to the bible there are 2 spiritual powers in existence on this planet; the Holy Spirit and His angels and Satan and his demons (devils, fallen angels).
Satan (Lucifer, the deceiver, the devil, Man of sin, Prince of Darkness etc) and his demons hate being exposed as they work behind the scenes in the minds, emotions, intellect and bodies of people. Whilst every human is responsible for his own actions and faces the consequences of our sins, the demonic influence is greater than we think or know. Just because it is unseen doesn't make them fictional characters. They are defeated foe and our job is to enforce their defeat, but just like in law, if you do not understand the law you cannot exercise legal authority. Satan only has as much power as we allow, otherwise he has no power in a believers life. If you believe he has power then you have just given him that power. Christ when He was crucified restored man and seated us next to Him (as His body) above principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. He has given us authority to bind (prevent them from being operational) demons and to cast them out, lets be aware and use that God given power. Some people think there is a demon behind every bush, I don't, I think there are two behind every bush. Lets not be scared to talk about these things they are real, they impact this world as Satan rakes havoc with the non believers and ignorant, he is god of this age, until Jesus returns.
