Rainy days are a necessary part of life. Without them, we complain about drought and global warming and crop failure. The storm which frustrates the golfer warms the heart of the farmer. But when rain turns to floods and subways malfunction, we realize that our planet doesn't function as it was intended.

This week we've been talking about demons and Satan. Our first step in dealing with our spiritual enemy is to acknowledge his existence. Our second step is to learn more about him. The Bible lists five facts we all need to know in predicting his next attack.

So far in our study we have seen that demons are real; they are evil; they are stronger than we are; they always seek to destroy; and they are after us. But there's good news: we can defeat them in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Yesterday we learned about Satan, the ruler of the forces of evil. Today let's discuss his footsoldiers, known as "demons" in the Bible. We need to know about them, because they're after us this morning.

Genesis 39:6-10
