Satan's strategies.

God has a plan and purpose for our lives. Satan is out to destroy those plans.

The good news is that if you have surrendered your old life and given it to Christ, satan has no power over you. Oh, the devil can certainly make your life miserable, but he can’t take you out.

Most people think that satan is busy messing with the alcoholic, the drug addict, or the abuser. Those people aren’t actually a challenge for satan; he’s already convinced them God’s not real, or doesn’t care.

The devil is after the church. What I mean by that is, he’s after God’s chosen few.

Satan is out to destroy, deceive and divide Christians. He is after the luke-warm Christian, the rocky marriage, and the new pastor in town.

He knows he’s losing his foothold in their lives. So, he does the one thing he knows to do, since the garden of Eden. Birth deception in their lives.

I’ve said it before. Don’t underestimate satan. He’ll watch you slowly drift from God, then BAM! Out of nowhere he’ll hit you where you’re weak.

The only power and weapon you have to defend yourself is God and His word.

Stay connected with God. Be prepared for satan’s attacks.

There’s one place where satan can’t enter, and that’s when you’re praying to God.

Overcome satan’s strategies with God’s power.

Ephesians 6:16 - “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
