Mt.16:20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.
When did Jesus told them to do so?? It was after Peter has confessed, that Jesus is "Christ, the Son of the living God". But if we turn to Mark, we see that the evil spirits knew it from the very beginning :
Mk1:34 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
But even though they knew from the very beginning and they believe, that He is (James2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
..... we read this verse last saturday during bible study.... ahh.. peng, miki and lumi - you really missed something:) ) they do not rejoice because of this, but they tremble!!!!

Oh it's pitty that I missed something. But thanks for your sharing that let me got little bit about it:)
I also think about something about demon and us, which comes from what Jesus reproched Peter while Peter stopped him from the coming sacrifice. Although Peter was just called as the Rock of church, he somehow became demon's tool at the next second. It reminds me that all our weaknesses in our own personalities could easily be used by satan. That's why Jesus reminded disciples again and again: be careful, be on your gaurd against becoming a pharisee who supposes he has been perfectly familir with God's thought, just like Peter's fault.
