Demons Disguised as Humans

Today I would like to present to you a topic that is probably very new to most of you, and therefore it might seem rather hard to believe. However, don't simply dismiss it, until you have first prayed and asked the Lord to confirm this to you.  Our Lord promised the disciples, "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." (Jn 16:13). I will present the revelations given to two different people, and then present the Scriptures that support the revelations.

Samuel Oghenetega
Samuel Oghenetega
As I have written about in a separate post called, Visitation of Jesus to Samuel Oghenetega, a fourteen-year old boy in Nigeria, named Samuel "Tega" Oghenetega, had an encounter, in which Jesus visited with him over a period of days while he was in the hospital.  It happened between June 30 and around July 4, 2013. You can read that encounter at the link I've provided, but for the sake of this article, I will only refer to the excerpt that pertains to the topic of demons disguised as humans.

The Lord said: "Look at Barack Obama. Many of my ministers made the mistake by praying him in to win the election. He has deceived my ministers that he’s a Christian, and many of my ministers followed him because of his material things…Now he is obeying you? Only that my ministers have done, it’s enough for me to send them to hell, but because of my love, I am still waiting for them to repent. Yet they don’t want to repent."

At 2:06:29 in the video, Samuel quoted the Lord as saying: "Obama is not a human being. He’s a demon. Now my people are suffering over there in America. Now he has given an order that gays, homosexuals, and lesbians should be given their rights. I will destroy him and the ministers that agree with him. So let every man plead his case before me and I shall forgive they that ask forgiveness. They that ask forgiveness from their heart shall I forgive."

Eudoxia Varga
As I have written in my post, Eudoxia Varga Testimony of Heaven and Hell, a Hungarian woman received a revelation of heaven and hell from the Lord Jesus Christ. He warned her about people on earth, who appear to be humans, but are actually evil spirits. She stated:

"And the Lord said and warned that women and stars, who are so beautiful that you cannot make them more beautiful, they’re not always humans, especially, you can know it when they die at a very young age. The Lord said to me, “Because she goes down, takes up a new body, and goes up again.” If it’s possible, even from our people they deceive—from the youth, with this music."

Angels Referred to As Men
While it might be hard for you to believe that demons can appear as humans, you should search the Word to see if it is true. Indeed, the word "man" is used in both Is 14:16 and Eze. 28:2,9,12,21 to refer to Lucifer before he fell. In fact, the word "man" is used to refer to angels all throughout Scripture, and these passages are no exception to that pattern.

When the Lord appeared to Abraham with two angels, the text refers to them as three men (Gen 18:2). When two angels went to Sodom to rescue Lot, before they destroyed the city, they were referred to four times as men (Gen 19:1-12). When the angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah, he and his wife referred to the angel as a man (Jdg 13:6,8,10). When angels appeared to Daniel, he referred to them as men (Dan 10:5; 12:6-7). In fact, he even referred to one of them as having human appearance, resembling a human being (Dan 10:16,18). When Ezekiel saw six angels with weapons of destruction in their hands and one with a writing kit at his loins, he referred to them as men (Ez 9:2,11; 10:2,6-7). Immediately after the resurrection of Christ, the angel that appeared to the women at the empty tomb was described in Mark's gospel as a young man wearing a white robe (Mk 16:5), and in Luke's gospel as two men in dazzling clothing (Lk 24:4), while John's gospel described them as two angels in white (Joh 20:12). Immediately after the ascension of Christ, the angels that appeared and spoke to the disciples were referred to as two men in white clothing (Ac 1:10).

Angels can and do appear as men today, just as they did in the accounts recorded in Scripture. In fact, the writer of Hebrews said, "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it." (Heb 13:2). Just as both Abraham and Lot entertained angels without knowing it, the same thing can happen today, according to the Word of God. Therefore, when someone says that a demon (evil spirit) can appear as a man, it is consistent with the Scriptures.

Putting it All Together
I have given the accounts of two people --  Samuel Oghenetega, and Eudoxia Varga, to whom the Lord has revealed that there are demons disguised as humans.  And the Lord has shown these people that, in some cases, these demons are living on earth at this time.  This should not surprise us, since demons are fallen angels.  They were created by God as supernatural beings, and they can appear in different forms.  Just as angels can and do sometimes appear as humans, so can demons.

Let me caution you that there is normally no way to know by sight.  You cannot know by looking at someone if they are a demon. So DO NOT attempt to guess if someone might be a demon, and don't go around suspecting people of being demons, even if they are the vilest sinner or persecutor of Christians. It is only through discerning of spirits that you will know, by the revelation of the Holy Spirit to your spirit.  We need to be strong in the Lord, and put on the full armor of God. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Eph 6:12).  No one knows until the last day if someone will ultimately repent. Plenty of former Christian persecutors have turned to the Lord, whom no one expected to do so, including Saul of Tarsus, later called the apostle Paul.

Dear reader, we are living in the last days. Great deception has gone out into the world.  False prophets have been sent from hell.  "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Pe 5:8).  Beware of demons disguised as humans!

"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 Jn 4:1).  You must test the spirits.  Ask the person if they believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.  "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God." (1 Jn 4:2-3).

Jesus prophesied with these words that there would even be false Christs upon the earth in the last days: "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many." (Mat 24:5)  So if anyone comes to you, claiming to be Jesus, ask if He is the Son of God.  No demon would dare to say that, because the Lord would strike him dead immediately.  And ask him to show you the marks of the crucifixion on his hands.  Jesus is the only one who bears the marks of the crucifixion. 

Our only Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be returning soon.  It's time to repent and consecrate yourself to Him, and live a holy, righteous life by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
