Rank
of Devil
There are no specific bible verses about the devil’s rank but there are verses emphasising the great number of them. This means the forces of the devil are divided into groups and they are meticulously systemized. For instance, the devil’s system or structure is arranged much better than the human armies of the earth. The structure includes the forming system, commanding system, attack system, the supply units, the charging unit, which is in the front of the battle line, and the mutual assistance systems which are located all throughout the world. They are departmentalized in societies, groups, churches, families and individuals. They battle individually and sometimes they unite themselves to carry out concerted operations to demolish the opponent. The ranks are determined from first to lowest ranks. They are divided into thousands of ranks. By guess, if I largely classify ranks, there are 1 to 10 ranks. They are structural and systematical like the formation of a large enterprise. Even meticulous their parts are departmentalized. Many times the ministers from abroad and some ministers even within South Korea calls out the names of the evil pirits. For example, an evil spirit that is dwelling within a person who disobeys his/her parents is called the ‘spirit of Absalom’. The people with lustful spirits, especially women with such nature possess the ‘spirit of Jezebel’. Other spirits are the spirit of competition, the spirit of strife, the spirit of jealousy, envy, the spirit of religion, the spirit of puberty and so on. The description is universal.
One
unique phenomenon is that all forces of the evil spirits from 1st
rank to 10th ranks attempt to bulge their bodies making their outer
appearance more fearful. This way they are able to promote their
rank. These evil spirits sometimes disguise themselves as Satan.
Just because they call themselves the ‘Red Dragon’ does not mean
all of them are the devil. These evil spirits deceive people making
them think they are the devil. Therefore, some people become
prideful thinking they have fought against Satan and have defeated
him when in fact it was only a low ranking subordinate. There are a
great number of 1st ranking demons. The number is beyond our
imagination. These demons operate according to their task and
portion.
Within
one person, there are powerful spirits representing an army. There
are evil spirits that are invisible. There are evil spirits that are
even difficult to see with spiritual eyes. We call them transparent
spirits. The virgin evil spirits’ rank is around 7th or 8th. But
most of times the transparent virgin evil spirits are 1st ranked.
Even many people with the gift of deliverance will have a difficult
time handling the people who are possessed by 2nd and 3rd ranking
demons. All the countries are seized by certain forces of the
powerful evil spirits as they represent and guard their regions. All
the countries have one overseeing devil. Below this one powerful
overseeing devil, he has many forces of subordinates. The force of
subordinates are in point formation such as the pyramid.
They
are assigned with a certain number of souls to drag into hell.
Therefore they are frantically carrying out their given duties to
fulfil the assigned targeted number. These forces of demons attack
in this manner and order, every country, region, city, town,
families, individuals and so on to destroy and crumble down.
Sometimes, they even growl at each other but they would also unite
to attack a forming front. Most of the times, when they form a
united front, it is to attack the living Christians. Even among the
evil spirits/demons, when the high ranking demons present themselves
in the midst of low ranking demons, these low ranking demons speak
respectfully to them. And at times, the lower ranking demons use
highly respectful words. Many times, the evil spirits or demons use
the vocabulary of the underworld within the earth.
Even
now, such ministries as ours is unfamiliar and not generally known to
many other churches of Jesus Christ and His servants. Sarcastic
speech and words toward our type of ministry has been one of the
reasons we are avoided. Those churches state that this type of
ministry is too extreme and excessive. They criticise and judge.
There are times when we have to ignore the forces of the devil for
there is no need for us to give them much attention. But the bible
strongly emphasises that christians need to confront the evil spirits
and powerfully handle to cast them out.
1
Peter 5:8-9 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9
Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings
are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”
Generally,
most churches do not have the ability and administration ministry to
cast demons out. Therefore, whenever we witness the churches doing
the deliverance ministry, we love to fervently encourage them. This
type of ministry falls under the spiritual “dirty work” industry.
People rationalize and systematize their ministry. Such people are
very skillful in defending themselves. The Lord has expanded and
developed the ministries and gifts to the churches and His servants.
There
are churches that the Lord grants extraordinary and special ministry.
We need to get out of the one sided view which judges and condemns
other ministries and servants. If we have no ability to carry out
this type of ministry, then at least, we need to pray for such
ministries and pastors. And this I pray.
