Foreign today it is easy to be caught up in the materialistic things that we see and want it is easy to be pulled away from God because of the desires of the flesh Satan is always there waiting
For us to fall into a strap he is constantly seeking ways to destroy our relationship with God here are some of Satan’s strategies that he uses against us 1. Satan lies he is the original liar
And is known as the father of Lies John chapter 8 verse 44 from the King James Bible tells us when he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it
When Satan makes his first appearance in the Bible it is in the Book of Genesis chapter 3. and the first words that come out of his mouth cast out on the truthfulness of God’s words yea hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden
The second words that came out of his mouth were yet another lie you shall not surely die Jesus said that Satan Abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it
We are dealing with the true nature of lying and deception during the confrontation that took place in the wilderness Satan used the truth of God for reasons that were not meant to bring glory to God
Yes God can turn stones into bread in the same way that Jesus would later turn water into wine yes God is able to command the angels to catch Jesus if he were falling just as when Jesus was arrested Jesus claimed that he could summon more than 12 Legions of angels if necessary
And yes Jesus’s Destiny was to One Day become a king Revelations chapter 19 verse 16 says and he hath on his vesture an honest eye a name Rin king of kings and Lord of lords therefore everything the same used to tempt Jesus was not only valid but also the truth
But the truth was being used in an incorrect context the truth in the wrong hands is just as harmful as error in the right hands 2. same disguises himself to us Paul claims that there are people impersonating Apostles
In second Corinthians chapter 11 verse 13 to 15. this is what Paul said for such are false Apostles deceitful workers transforming themselves into the Apostles of Christ and no Marvel for seeing himself is transformed into an angel of Light therefore it is no great
Thing if his ministers also be transformed as the Ministers of righteousness whose end shall be according to their works Satan has followers who seem sincere and even profess just enough truth to be able to join the church and then spread what Paul terms doctrines of devils
Jesus tells us in Matthew chapter 7 verse 15. beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves Acts chapter 20 verse 30 says also of your own self shall men arise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them
Three same tempts all of us to sin he attempted to convince Jesus in the wilderness to turn away from the way of suffering and obedience but he was unsuccessful he was effective in doing this to Judas during the final hours of Jesus’s life Paul issues the following warning to all believers
In second Corinthians chapter 11 verse 3. but I fear lest by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety so your mind should be corrupted from the Simplicity that is in Christ we as Believers must put on the armor of God and read and study the Bible daily to
Grow in strength so that we don’t allow ourselves to fall for Satan’s tactics 4. Satan blinds the minds of all unbelievers second Corinthians chapter 4 verse 4 tells us in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not lest the
Light of the Glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God should shine onto them he therefore doesn’t only say false things he conceals the truth he prevents us from recognizing the gospel’s riches he allows us to see the facts even the proofs but not the value
That is why Believers have the holy spirit to guide them and to provide them with discernment 5. another strategy of saints is to take away God’s word from people’s hearts in Mark Chapter
4 verses 3 to 8 Jesus tells the parable of the four soils and it came to pass as he sowed some fell by the wayside and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up and some fell on Stony ground
Where it had not much Earth and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of Earth but when the sun was up it was scorched and because it had no root it withered away and some fell among thorns and the Thorns grew up and choked it and they yielded no fruit
And other fell on good ground and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased and brought forth some 30 and some 60 and some 100. Jesus explained later that it is the word of God that
Was sown and in verse 15 Jesus says and these are by the wayside where the word is sown but when they have heard Satan cometh immediately and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts Satan steals the word because he hates the faith that it produces Paul says in first
Thessalonians chapter 3 verse 5. for this cause when I could no longer forbear I sent to know your faith lest by some means an attempt to have tempted you and our labor be in vain Paul clearly had a concern for the Thessalonians Faith Paul was aware that Satan’s plan is to
Destroy the faith of those who have heard God’s word 6. scene sometimes causes disease in people a woman who was hunched over and unable to strain herself was once healed by Jesus Jesus knew that Satan was the one who made her ill in Luke chapter 13 verses 11 through 16 we are told
And behold there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity 18 years and was bowed together and could an all-wise lift up herself and when Jesus saw her he called her to him and said unto her woman downward loosed from thine infirmity and he laid his hands on her and immediately
She was made straight and glorified God and the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day and said unto the people there are six days in which men ought to work in them therefore come and be healed and not on the Sabbath day
The Lord then answered him and said though hypocrite Dothan out each one of you on the Sabbath loses ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering and ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan hath bound Lo these 18 years be loosed from the bond
On the Sabbath day Satan can bring upon illness sometimes but God has authority over Satan Satan is on a leash and can only do what God allows Peter refers to Jesus as the one who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil in Acts chapter 10 verse 38.
In other words the devil frequently torments those who were ill don’t however make the error of claiming that the devil is to blame for all illnesses there are also cases when the disease is exclusively attributed to God’s design without involving Satan for example in John chapter 9
Verse 1 to 3 we are told and as Jesus passed by he saw a man which was blind from his birth and his disciples asked him saying master who did Sin this man or his parents that he was born blind
Jesus answered neither hath dismant sinned nor his parents but that the works of God should be made manifest in him seven is also a murderer Jesus told the people who were against them ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do he was a murderer from
The beginning and Abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it John chapter read verse 44. John said
In first John chapter 3 verse 12 notice Cain who was of that Wicked one and slew his brother and wherefore slew he him because his own Works were evil and his brothers righteous Jesus told John to
Write to the church in Smyrna fear none of those things which thou shall suffer behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison and ye may be tried and ye shall have tribulation 10 days
Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a Crown of Life Revelations chapter 2 verse 10. Satan hates all of us and is bloodthirsty Jesus tells us in John chapter 10 verse 10.
The thief cometh not but forth to steal and to kill and to destroy I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly Satan only wants to destroy us eight does everything he can to stop missionaries and believers in first Thessalonians chapter 2
Verse 17 to 18 Paul describes how his plans were blocked but we Brethren being taken from you for a short time in presence not in heart endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire
Wherefore we would have come on to you even I Paul once and again but Satan hindered us 9. Satan is the accuser of all Christians before God in Revelation chapter 12 verse 10 it says
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven now has come salvation and strength in the Kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ for the accuser of our Brethren is cast down which accused them
Before our God day and night Satan will definitely lose but he hasn’t stopped making accusations we must remember that God is Sovereign and Satan is on a leash he cannot do any more than God allows
These are a few of seeing strategies against us we must resist seeing and he will flee from us we are told in James chapter 4 verse 7 submit yourselves therefore to God resist the devil and he will flee from you please remember this one thing we as followers of Christ must prepare
Ourselves for the battles ahead because there will be many we must arm ourselves with the word of God we must read and study the Bible daily and put the word of God in our hearts by memorizing scriptures
It is God who gives us strength and His holy word is our armor if you found this video helpful or have any questions please leave me a comment below and may God bless you all
