Christian, Satan knows that he cannot have your soul, but he can corrupt your testimony, your witness, and your walk. He does this in four main way's
He Disappoints,Distracts, Discourages, and Divides the Christian.
The Devil disappoints the Christian.
He convinces you that God does not listen or care. He tells you that you deserve better and should have more.
He teaches false doctrine and causes you to believe in false promises.
The Devil Distract's the Christian:
with the cares of this world through the lust of the flesh, the eyes and the pride of life. He causes you to want the world more than the local church, more than the Word of God, More than Modesty and humbleness.
He prospers the wicked and persecutes the Christian, and convinces you that if you compromise it will be ok, and no one will know or care.
He provides you with your lustful desires, as he did King David.
When Satan has done all this, he turns right around and runs to God and tattletales,He is the accuser of the bretheren. The Devil stands beside God every day accusing us of sin. Revelation 12:10; Zechariah 3:1
The Devil accuses us before God, and he accuses our consciences as well.
He is a roaring Lion, seeking to devour your Testimony, your witness, and the Gospel. He wants to cause you to be a such odd's inside your family and the church, that all you do is focus on everyone else's flaws and you forget The Devil Divides the church by confusing Truth with Error, Doctrine with Opinion, and Wheat with Tares.
When he is done he exposes the corrupted thing that you call a church to the world and through your sin and error, God's name is blasphemed. Romans 2:24 |
