SATAN-OUR ENEMY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Part 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“The Strategies of Evil”<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

IGNORANCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (ESV) <\/b>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.<\/p>\n

Ephesians 6:10-12 (ESV) <\/b>
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.<\/span><\/p>\n

INFILTRATION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (ESV) <\/b>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.<\/p>\n

Matthew 13:36-39 (ESV) <\/b>
\n36 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, \u201cExplain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.\u201d
\n37 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He answered, \u201cThe one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.<\/span>
\n38 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,<\/span>
\n39 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Ephesians 4:26-27 (ESV) <\/b>
\n26 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
\n27 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and give no opportunity to the devil.<\/p>\n

INTERVENTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1 Thessalonians 3:5 (ESV) <\/b>
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.<\/p>\n

Matthew 13:22 (ESV) <\/b>
\n22 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Thessalonians 2:17-18 (ESV) <\/b>
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face,
\n18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0because we wanted to come to you\u201d\u201dI, Paul, again and again\u201d\u201dbut Satan hindered us.<\/span><\/p>\n

INTIMIDATION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1 Peter 5:8 (ESV) <\/b>
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 11:29 (ESV) <\/b>
\n29 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.<\/p>\n

1 John 1:9 (ESV) <\/b>
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.<\/p>\n

1 John 3:8b (ESV) <\/b>
\n8\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/sup>The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.<\/p>\n

1 John 4:4 (ESV) <\/b>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.<\/p>\n

1 John 4:4 (NASB) <\/b>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
