Fighting off the work of the devil!

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

Today, you live in an invisible war between Satan and God. You are a target of Satan.

This war launched by Satan is to draw you away from God and cause you conform to the ways of the world. Satan wants to diminish the influence of Jesus in your life. He works using deception and lies.

Satan wants to tempt you into taking actions that are contrary to God. Most of the time this will start with thoughts in your mind and then leads to sin. Or, Satan can work through others to attack you or tempt you into evil.

Satan wants to change your belief system to liberalize scripture to make it fit into the changing culture of our society.

This is where you need to strongly resist any teaching of the antichrist. Remember, God never changes and His Word will endure forever. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Satan wants to steal, kill, and destroy. He knows all your weaknesses and wants to exploit them to draw you into a web of sin.

Satan has infiltrated television and the movies, fashion, your mobile devices, and social media. You cannot avoid exposure to Satan living in this world.

The challenge is to stay strong in the Lord. This can only be accomplished by yielding to the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. The Spirit is your guardian against the tactics of Satan and will provide you with wisdom and protection. The Spirit will give you discernment to understand what is God and what are the lies of Satan.

Seek out God for protection from Satan and wisdom in dealing with His tactics. Put on the full armor of God and stand firmly living in the promises of God.

Don’t be afraid to confront Satan directly with the Word of God. Satan has been defeated by the blood of Christ and has no authority over you. He has to flee when you speak the name of Jesus.
