Revelation 12:9


And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.



1 John 4:1


Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.



1 John 4:1-3


Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.



2 Peter 2:1


But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.” But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”



Matthew 5:38-39


“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

The mind of Christ

Are satan and demons a separate beings or just in our MIND ?

Answer by Michael Morin :


Matthew 16:23: The key to understand how the mind which belongs to mankind, so to say: the spiritual faculty of men, is being ruled by Satan, the source of human thoughts.
We are aware that the battleground is the mind, the source of the thoughts. Jesus acknowledged that the battleground was in the mind. This is supported by Mark 8:23 and Matthew 16:23 " (NIV) "Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."

Some other translations say "Get behind me, Satan, because you're not thinking God's thoughts, but human thoughts!" (International Standard Version) or "Get out of my way, Satan! You aren't thinking the way God thinks but the way humans think" (God's Word) or "Get you behind me, Satan: for you mind not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men." (American KJV) (Note: all humans or men, in the sense of mankind)

Oh I like this passage! Was Jesus speaking to Satan, or directly to the personal human mind of Peter? Obviously, as Peter was not Satan, then Jesus was speaking of the source of the thoughts of all men, so to say: the mind/spirit ruling mankind.

In Luke 10:18, Jesus mentioned Satan falling from heaven. Who is Satan?
Satan means: The profoundly evil adversary of God. Satan is rather a generic term used as the common meaning to describe the mind or spirit against God. Satan is the Hebrew word for "adversary". ha-Satan is Hebrew for "the accuser"; we have translated as the devil. The original Hebrew term, satan, is a noun from a verb meaning primarily: “to obstruct, to oppose,” as it is found in Numbers 22:22, 1 Samuel 29:4, Psalms 109:6. Thus, from now on, you must understand that "Satan" is referring to an "universal spirit bound to mankind" or "an universal mind acting as an outside influence to broadcast thoughts" which opposes and hinders the work of God, so to say: the Gospel of our Salvation. In any case, Jesus had in mind some "dark being" or "entity" standing beside him....as we used to picture Satan as a dark, devilish being with 2 horns and a forked tail!

Satan is the outside spiritual influence upon mankind, against the Mind of Christ.
As said previously, Satan means the mind of the "accuser", the "opposer, the one who hinders, the one who obstructs or resists, and opposes the work of God, the Gospel of our Salvation.

When the Lord says : AT LAST!!!!!!!

The genuine Perpetual Sacrifice is the Mind of Christ.

The Mind of Christ is Spirit, with the thoughts of God. Here are some thoughts from the Mind of Christ:

From Hebrews 10:10 " And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." and from Hebrews 10:14, it is said that : "For by one sacrifice he (Christ) has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."

Not only this Mind makes you Holy and Perfect before God, but we must also understand that the Mind of the Perpetual Covenant is an everlasting State of Mind in a perpetual/continuous sense, and is bound to the expression "Everlasting Covenant, Perpetual Sacrifice.

I testify here, that the Mind of Christ is the genuine and only New Birth.

Why the Mind of Christ is the Genuine New Birth

Why is the Mind of Christ the genuine New Birth? Because it is an Everlasting Spirit, and dwells only in the Everlasting Sacrifice through the blood of Jesus. As the Mind of Christ means also the Spirit of Christ, each son or daughter of God is a spiritual "sanctuary".

If we agree that the word "perpetual" means "continuous, uninterrupted, continuing in time or space without interruption, day and night", then just remember the same expression "day and night" is used in Revelation 12:10

"Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, ―It has happened at last! God’s salvation and the power and the rule, and the authority of his Christ are finally here; for the Accuser of our brothers has been thrown down from heaven onto earth - he accused them day and night before our God. " ...(this is the abomination of the desolation in the sanctuary spoken in Daniel 11:31)

As the expression day and night means "never-ending, ceaseless, perpetual, continual, unceasing, constant, uninterrupted...and we understand also that Revelation 12;10 locates "the accuser of the brethren" before God "in their mind" or "their heart" (this is the heavenly place, because the mind is spirit) we must understand that Mind of Christ is the Holy Rest of God, the Promised Land, or to say: the Peace of Mind in Christ forever.

The Mind of Christ is the never-ending thought of the New Covenant!

Be blessed
