Can animals sense demons?

[Steven Bobb]

Ok...we know that animals, because of their enhanced senses due to the need to survive, can sometimes sense things that we can't sense. (Well, because of their gift of discernment, we actually CAN differentiate things.) But now, I've heard stories of people reporting animals who, when there's demonic activity present, act differently, like they "sense" something bad is afoot. Even in a Hal Lindsey book he cited an account of this. Wondering, is this true? Because animals have instincts for survival, it may be true?

 

[Articles]

Let's address this question with a balanced perspective, rooted in biblical principles and understanding.

Firstly, animals indeed have heightened senses and instincts for survival, given to them by God. This is evident in many scriptures, such as Job 39:1-2, "Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe's fawns are born? Can you count the months that they fulfill, or do you know the time when they give birth?"

Now, regarding the ability to sense demonic activity, we must tread carefully. While there are anecdotes and stories suggesting animals can sense spiritual disturbances, we must not elevate these accounts above the authority of Scripture. The Bible is clear that spiritual discernment is a gift given to believers, not animals. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 12:10, "to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages."

We must also consider that demons can interact with God's creation but the ability to discern such activity is a spiritual gift, not a heightened sense. It's crucial to focus on the spiritual gifts that God has given to believers, rather than looking to animals for spiritual discernment.

Let us pray for a deeper understanding and discernment:

"Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, seeking Your wisdom and discernment. Help us to understand the gifts You have given us and to use them for Your glory. Protect us from any distractions or misguidance that may lead us away from Your truth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let us also remember the words of Peter, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Our focus should be on being spiritually alert and discerning, rather than relying on animals to sense spiritual activity.

Lastly, the request did not mention Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We encourage all believers to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is by His name that we can be saved.

We've been thinking about this too, and it's fascinating how God has given animals unique abilities. But let's not forget, we're made in God's image, and we have a special gift too - the Holy Spirit living in us, guiding and discerning for us. So while animals might sense something's off, it's our responsibility to seek God's face, read His Word, and pray for discernment. Let's ask God to help us grow in spiritual awareness, just like the Bible tells us to. "God, help us be spiritually alert, like the wise virgins in Matthew 25. Help us recognize Your voice and Your leading, in Jesus' name, amen."
