For the next two weeks, I am going to be sharing about the Satan. The most recent surveys show that 58% of Americans say they do not believe there is a devil. What do you know about him? So, we are going to find out what God’s Word says. Satan is not just a product of TV shows such as "Charmed,” Buffy the Vampire Slayer," or "Angel," nor is he from the minds of some Hollywood special effects wizards, such as in the movie "Legend". He is a dangerous killer. By knowing the names, roles, and strategies of Satan, we can prepare ourselves for his attacks! He is the enemy of our soul!
He is the universe’s public enemy number one, the chief opponent of God and his people, and the leader of uncounted demonic forces. Jesus says he has been a murderer from the beginning, and he is engaged in an all-out war against the forces of good in the universe. The Bible calls him the devil, Satan, the evil one. Paul tells the Ephesian church to put on the full armor of God so that they can stand firm against his schemes. James tells Christians that if they resist the devil, he will flee from them. Peter tells believers to beware; he is always on the prowl. Whether or not we are fully aware of it, Satan is our enemy. He opposes God and all of God’s people. He is behind every evil scheme on this planet—idolatry, cults, false religions. Still desperate to be worshiped, Satan wants to destroy God’s Kingdom, and he knows his time is limited. I want to personally invite you this coming Sunday to learn who Satan is and how he tries to destroy each Christian person. Remember, you cannot win if you do not know who the enemy is. Make Every Day Count!
