4 WAYS SATAN BEATS YOU UP
Yesterdays post on Are you coming to the end of your rope?
I shared 4 points on how to tie a good size knot so one may hang-on when they feel like letting go.
In point number 4 we discussed the importance of TRUSTING God and relying on His insight and understading.
Satan certainly wants to break that trust in any possible way.
Today I will share 4 strategies the enemy uses to break that trust so you can be on top of his schemes!
Remember You can do all things through Christ friends!
1. In your comprehension and understanding of God
But we buy the lie that God is mad at us then we get mad at God. That’s what Satan wants. Many people are mad at God. What are you mad at Him about? The Father sent Jesus to die on the cross for you so that He could restore and forgive you. What more do you want Him to do for you? You must believe that every morning His mercies are new. You must believe that His grace is greater than all your sin. Jesus bore it all. He said, “It is finished” before He died on the
2. Deception in SELFYour no good. You’re a looser. You will never amount to anything.” Causing self pity. How do you overcome the accusations of the accuser? Rev.12:11 says “By the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony.” Phil.4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” We have to renew our minds to the truth.
3. Deception is when Satan gets to us through others
Satan tries to bring shame against you because of something you did. It could have come from physical or sexual abuse as a child. Many have deep rooted shame and the Devil tells you that you’re worse than anyone else, but the fact is that outside the grace and mercy of God we are all capable of anything. There is none of us better than another. Or best righteousness is as filthy rags.
4 unyielded areas in our life.
He will tell you that you have this problem with a demon.” No, you don’t have a demon problem; you have a problem with Jesus. You haven’t surrendered an area of you life to Him and you persist in known willful sin.
Romans 6:12-13 do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
Blessings!
