Demons –Luke 10:17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”- The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to — if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin. If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you. If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us.

Adulterers! Do you not know that the love of this world is hatred toward God? Therefore whoever chooses to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

The story of Lucifer serves as a cautionary tale of pride and rebellion. Pride leads individuals to believe they can challenge divine authority and act independently of God’s will. Rebellion against God’s commandments and principles can manifest in both overt and subtle ways. Humility and submission to God’s authority are crucial in combating the destructive forces of pride and rebellion. Manipulation And DivisionAll this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: Romans 6:23 — For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. i.e when sin gets pregnant it gives birth to death. Considering God’s omnipotence and benevolence, the idea of having enemies might appear paradoxical. Some philosophical perspectives and non-dualistic belief systems propose that God encompasses everything, including what humans might perceive as evil or opposition. These views question the notion of separateness between God and creation.
