BELIAL, The Wicked Ruler

BELIAL, The Wicked Ruler

The Taylor translation says, "something so wicked that even the heathen don't do it." The Phillips version says, "immorality of a kind that even pagans condemn." This man was judged and turned over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh. Again, the only time Belial is mentioned in the New Testament is in Paul's second letter to Corinth. Belial was obviously strong in the city of Corinth, and he was operating within the Church! According to 2 Corinthians 7:1, we are to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirits, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. We must loose ourselves from Belial's influence if we are to live lives pleasing to God. We must bind the strongman Belial and spoil his goods! Following is a list of spirits operating under Belial that we can attack and cast out.
