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
