According to Ephesians 2:1-2, people who are under the power of sin and disobedience are held captive to the work of Satan, whom demons serve to carry out his evil purposes. Demons cause men to be entrapped to the satanic philosophy of lawlessness. Fallen angels promote the satisfaction of fleshly desires, sensual pleasures, pride, hatred, and materialism, all of which characterize the world system influenced by Satan (John 16:11, 1 John 2:16). In other words, demons entice people to walk in sin and to be enslaved in those passions so as to resist the grace of God (1 Timothy 4:1-8). The most heinous of these sinful patterns is rebellion against God, which 1 Samuel 15:23 equates with the sin of witchcraft.
Demons distort people’s philosophies. Demons encourage all thought patterns and false religions which are intended to keep unbelievers from the saving knowledge of the gospel.
The most dangerous of demonic influence is that they cause people to reject the saving grace of God. Because demons are incapable of repentance or of saving themselves, they do not understand grace, nor do they want men to understand or see their need for it.
That is why their primary task is to influence people to think lightly or negatively of God’s grace and to twist Scriptures teaching on God's saving grace, distracting men to lies instead. Demons work to create divisions in the body, and promoting anything they do, be it from God's Word or not, is doing just that among us.
