If a sorcerer used demonic powers on national television, people at the wrong stage (from Satan's point of view) would learn that, indeed, a spiritual world exists. And they might be led to Christ--the very person a demon wants you to avoid. If you are already dwelling in materialism (and therefore separated from the Truth of God), a demon has no need to show himself to you. There have been plenty of documentations of spiritual encounters--exorcisms and the like. Most happen to people who are already aware of the spiritual realm. Satan has his goals, just as God does. If revealing their existence will not help win you to their side, they will remain in the background. Satan is most dangerous when you don't know he's there.
Check out "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis for more insight. It is written from a demon's point of view.
"Satan is most dangersous when you don't know he's there." Sounds a lol like god.
I served many a year on a U.S. submarine. One of the self inflicted psych tests was this..."If you woke up being blown, would you let him finish?"
Regardless of your sincere answer (assuming you have no idea what it's like to be on a submarine), who sent this angel? God or the Devil?
