Title: When God's Grace Leaves, Evil Spirits Work...

When God's grace leaves, evil spirits work (1 Samuel 16:14-23)
1. There are two spirits in the spirit world.
(1) One is the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God, and the other is the spirit of evil spirits and the devil.
(2) When God's grace departs, evil spirits work (verse 14). When we receive the Holy Spirit when we believe in Jesus, things belonging to God's grace come upon us (1 Corinthians 2:12). When God created man, he breathed in the Spirit of God to become a spiritual being (Genesis 2:7).
2. God is the ruler of the spirit world.
(1) Even evil spirits are sent by God (verse 15).
(2) If we do not sin against God, we must put on the garments of praise. Hymns are powerful tools against evil spirits. When Saul was afflicted with an evil spirit, David played the harp to drive away the evil spirit (verse 23).
⑶ Specifically, what kind of works does God do through singing?
① Heal ② Victory ③ Hope
3. If you lose your faith, you lose everything.
(1) People are afraid of curses. The curse is the departure of man, a creature, from God the Creator.
(2) Faith always comes with grace. If you believe well, you will surely receive God's grace. Wherever people go in this world, they are governed by the spirit, and they cannot control the spirit with their own reason and intellect.
⑶ We humans are our home. Our hearts are also home. The Bible says it is a house where the Spirit of God dwells. Take a look at this Yeonpyeong Island incident. Look at North Korea's armed invasion. If the Spirit of God is not with us, evil spirits will work. Evil spirits use fear as a weapon, so they use blood and flesh like war.
4. We must be led by the Holy Spirit.
(1) When evil spirits appear, they appear very beautifully, but the Bible says that the results are all bad.
(2) Therefore, all of us believers should always pray. Our life is not stable.
Without God's grace, evil spirits work.
Like Job, if there is no fence of God's protection, evil spirits work. When evil spirits work, people are destroyed. We must live in the grace of God and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
