I agree with your assessment completely. The only thing I would add is that we need to resist fear and superstition*. Fear and superstition is the demon's foothold. Meditating on God's sovereignty casts out fear and the Scriptures remove superstition.
(*When I refer to superstition, I am not saying that belief in demons is superstitious but that there is much superstition, from movies and books, that cloud our understanding of demonic activity.)

My answers would be: The supernatural exists. is real, and active. But we can only know a bit of the total picture and so we operate according to our duties and engage in our warfare by prayer to God (never addressing demons who may or may not be bothering us at that particular instant) and not change the fulfillment of our duties. |
