The Worship of Demons

/ Tim A.

“And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz. For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem. And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.” 2 Chronicles 28:22-25 (KJV)

Ahaz was an evil king of Judah. He was in distress, and against the only, and Holy God of Judah and Israel; and the world for that matter. He had sacrificed his sons to fire according to the ways of those who had been driven out of Canaan (28:3). He had no heart for the LORD.

You may wonder why this is titled “Worshipping Demons”. It is because of what he apostle Paul says,

“What say I then? That the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 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. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?” 1 Corinthians 10:19-22

The worship of any “god” other than Jehovah through His Son Jesus Christ, and His atoning blood is demon worship.

If that offends you, then repent of your sins and turn to the One who died for your sins, was buried and rose again, and He will forgive your sins and give you eternal life in the presence of holy GOD.

  3. Thank you for addressing this issue. I suspect that we have similar feelings about what this really means in today’s world. I believe that putting anything–social media, drugs, cigarettes, gambling, alcohol–or any thing at all that is more important than your relationship with God in first place in their lives. So many things can be so very important to a person that God takes the back sea, at the very least. That is what this means to me and I had to overcome alcohol addiction, and drugs, and send them to a far away place that is not on any map–complete ending of any participation with those things at all in my life in order to put God as First Place in my life. And I and anyone else who has had these kind of idols, has to continually keep them as if they were dead and buried, on a day to day basis. And for some it is hard– and for me it was, until God simply spoke to my heart and convicted me, and now I have put these things down and just walk with Him all the time. It is a sin to put anything above God in one’s life. jlehman1945 Thank you for this entry, and I hope it will speak to the hearts of all who read this entry you wrote, to evaluate what is in first place in their lives. And if the answer if anything but God as Main Number One then I hope they will reevaluate those things and choose God. You really reach people with your entries and I truly respect that. jlheman1945

    • Thank you for sharing that testimony. It is wonderful to hear of God’s deliverance in other’s lives. I too feel very strongly about the matter of worshipping GOD alone. Even to worship God and something else is double minded, and spiritual adultery against Him.
