BELIAL, The Wicked Ruler

Belial and Spirits of Infirmity

An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Proverbs 16:27 The American Standard Version says, "A worthless man deviseth mischief,..." The Berkeley version says, "A worthless man plots harm,..." To devise means to plan to bring about. A plot is a secret plan for accomplishing a usually evil or unlawful end. Belial causes men to plan and plot that which is evil. Psalm 37:12 says, "the wicked plotteth against the just." There are people involved in forms of witchcraft that are planning to destroy the Church. We have heard reports of witches fasting to break up marriages of Christian leaders and to disrupt the Church. It is almost hard to believe that there are actually people this wicked. I believe it because the Word of God states it. Most people would be shocked to know the types of gross sins and plots taking place behind closed doors. Psalm 37:32 says, "The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him." The Berkeley translation says, "The wicked lies in wait for the righteous, and seeks to put him to death." The New American Bible says, The wicked man spies on the just and seeks to slay him." What a sobering thought! No wonder the Word of God admonishes us to be sober and vigilant. Belial will influence men to plot against the righteous.
