Satan is an ancient extremely treacherous
foe.
Matthew 1016
3Divine Wisdom Christ-Like Innocence are
the source of all spiritual victory.
which means
- We must think with wisdom
- We must be pure of heart
4MAIN POINTS
Satan wants to keep us from the truth.
Why?
He knows that when the truth of Gods Word is
applied to our lives, we will be set free!
5What is Satans real strategy?
The attack starts in the MINDS.
WE ARE AT WAR!
A fight for our very spiritual lives!
6The warfare begins in the MIND if allowed,
it will spread to other areas of our lives as
well.
72 Corinthians 105.
We demolish arguments and every pretension
that sets itself up against the knowledge of
God, and we take captive every thought to make
it obedient to Christ. (NIV)
8imaginations or arguments
in Greek
actually means a reasoning or decision.
We so often take the plain truth of Gods Word,
twist it turn it in such a way that its no
longer absolute.
9We rationalize ... and excuse ... and "reason"
the truth into exactly what we want to hear.
The deception of Eve
That subtle snake whispered a thought she
reasoned it out in her MIND until it became
acceptable to break the command of God.
10We are to use our Spiritual Weapons to break
down these arguments that
Note
go on in our MINDS put there by the snake
(Satan) himself.
The battleground is in the MIND.
THOUGHTS are what Satan wants to slip in there.
11Simon was motivated by a THOUGHT!
Where did that thought come from? Satan! (Acts
822)
Peter didnt say thoughts ... but THOUGHT
singular!
ONE THOUGHT that leads you into wrong action.
12The enemys primary approach
- He drop a THOUGHT into our MINDS.
- He wants us to accept it and then act upon it.
- Once we do it that THOUGHT can become a
stronghold.
13THOUGHTS can hold you like a vise and keep
you from the truth.
One mighty lie from Satan can hold you in a
place of
sickness... of suffering ... of torment ... of
bitterness and unforgiveness.
14It will last just as long as you permit it ...
as long as you accept it!
Note
Negative defeating thoughts bring fear
and when they take root in our mind we begin
to speak them!
152 Corinthians 104,5 says.
We need to bring every thought into the
captivity of Christ.
We need to replace that lie WITH the truth of
Gods Word!
Only way to overcome the devil ... the Word of
God!
John 844
16You can change your DESTINY!
Faith is an action. And to believe, to have
faith in the Word of God is to ACT on the Word
of God!
17Jesus defeat Satan. quote the Word of God,
with faith assurance.
18Luke 1019.
"I have given you authority ... to overcome all
the power of the enemy!" (NIV)
Mark 1617, Jesus says.
" In my name they (YOU) will drive out
demons (NIV)
