The Lies of War (Part 3)

The Lies of War (Part 3)

Satan has succeeded in getting many believers to deny his existence for years. He has distorted his image, causing people to perceive him with horns, a tail, carrying a pitchfork, and confined to the flames of hell. He has become identified as a fictional character on television and in movies.
 

-Satan has planted fear in the hearts of many believers, causing them to think they are powerless against his attacks on their bodies, their finances, and their loved ones. 

-Many believe that Satan is in control of the world and their personal circumstances.   

It is time for God's people to rise up in power and expose Satan and his deceptive strategies. Think about any deceptions the enemy has planted in your mind. Perhaps you have discounted Satan's power or felt you were a helpless victim of his attacks.  

Remember this:

-Satan is not in control over the earth.  

-Satan’s power is limited.  

-Satan has no power over you except what you permit him to have.  

-You are not exempt from his attacks.  

-You have power over all the power of the enemy. 

If you are a born-again believer, Satan is not in control of your life.  He is not in control of your family or your ministry.  He is not in control of your destiny.  He is not in control of the circumstances of your life.

This earth and everything belongs to God, including you, your friends and family,  your possessions, your circumstances, and your destiny! You may experience trials, but this is not because Satan is in control.  Satan is not in control.  God is in control.  There is nothing that can touch your life without God's permission according to Job chapters 1-2.

Just because you are a believer does not mean you are immune from Satan's lies, temptations, and attacks however.  Even Jesus faced the deceptions of Satan during His temptation in the wilderness, but Jesus emerged victorious over all the deceptions of the enemy as He met every attack with the truth of God's Word.  You can do the same!

 

Rebuke these deceptions in the name of Jesus.  Take authority over Satan's propaganda.
