Satan is without a doubt the greatest deceiver
the world has ever known. His career of lies and deceit , started back in the
Garden of Eden. When he spoke to Eve, he stirred up doubt by his comment
"has God indeed said?" You know the rest of the story.
We are all attacked to varying degrees. His
favorite trick is to make us think that God doesn't love us, and wants to
punish us.
Satan brings things into your life that take
advantage of your weaknesses. If you are worried about bills, he will really
get to work making everything worse. You will start making bad, desperate
decisions. You will start complaining that something always comes up to take
your money. A common remark is every time I get a couple of bucks, something
happens.
Maybe you feel that your marriage is less than
perfect. Your children are nothing but trouble. He will make you dwell on these
things to the point where you feel you are serving a life sentence on Devils
Island. Anger will cause you to lash out
at your family, causing things to get worse. Comments like "what a lousy
marriage I have" "these rotten kids will never get better" the
devil wins again with your help.
While all of these things are going on, satan is
putting thoughts in your mind like "if God really loved you, would he let
all of this happen to you"?
I know two people who are convinced that God
hates them t. It seems that they are oblivious to anything that is contrary to
what they believe. God's grace can take them from satan's grip. He gave us His
Word. No one is lost unless they choose to be. God loves all of us.
satan tries to put so much doubt into your mind,
that you will not even think of reading the Word. He knows he cannot fight the
Word of God.
Another trick of his is to get you to speak so
many negative words about your situation that you actually bring on what you
say. Just as faith filled words produce good, negative words produce
destruction. Negative words help satan against you.
Read and believe the Word. If you are a believer,
satan has no power over you in Jesus name. Becoming a believer in your heart is
the answer to everything. If you aren't already, do it soon. God calls each of
us, but we have to accept His Son Jesus in order to be saved. He died for us to
prove His love. The more you know of God's love the smaller the chance of satan
deceiving you.
God Bless You and Remember
Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation
"Oh God in heaven, I believe with all of my
heart that Jesus has been raised from the dead. I receive Your Word, and I
repent of sin. I renounce the past. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. I receive
my forgiveness. I receive the new birth, cleansed and washed in the Word and in
the precious blood of Jesus. Fill me with Your Spirit, in Jesus name.
Amen"
