Satan's strategy has not changed after all these years. He has commissioned legions of spirits to invade and attack the Body of Christ through deception within. Satan has released spirits of delusion, lying, and seducing spirits that are attacking even Spirit-filled, on-fire, sold-out Christians!
Satan wants you to be lulled into a false sense of security thinking it is impossible for you to be deceived. This is one of the most dangerous spiritual positions a believer can ever be in. If you fail to recognize that there is a possibility of you being deceived, you will become a prime target for Satan.
Paul warned in 1 Corinthians 10:12:
"Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."
Satan is an imposter. An imposter is “one who assumes an identity or title that is not his own for the purpose of deception.” As an imposter, Satan's major strategy is to deceive. Jesus described his true character when he called him “the father of lies” in John 8:44. Just as Jesus manifests truth, Satan manifests deception.
Satan will try to bring deception into your life:
-By trying to weaken the authority of God’s Word.
-By working through friends and family who are deceived.
-By working through false teachers, spreading theories and heresies.
-By keeping you ignorant of spiritual knowledge.
-By doctrines of demons.
To wage war and defeat Satan and his army of deceiving spirits, you must:
-Grow up to full spiritual maturity. You do this by continually filling your mind with the truth of God’s Word.
-Recognize spirits of delusion, deception, and seducing lying spirits.
-Try every spirit to see whether or not it is from God.
-Hold fast to the truth. Do not allow yourself to be swayed by every new teaching that comes along.
-Live your life according to what you have tested and proven to be true, which is the Word of God.
Remember that this spirit of deception invaded Israel after they had come into their Promised Land. The same spirit will rise up against you when you have entered into your victory. Be prepared. If Satan cannot stop you from reaching your victory, he will try to stop you through deceiving spirits that will hinder the fulfillment of it. Disarm deception in Jesus Name!
