Do you quote from
the scriptures?
Do you know God's
word? How well do you know God's word? Is your knowledge of God's word
superficial? In this moment right now, I feel that mine is.
Yes, I know some
scripture, but do I know it enough to quote it when I'm being attacked
spiritually? When the Holy Spirit helps me to discern that I am under attack
even in the very small, subtle ways that Satan loves to use, my response should
be scriptural.
Jesus' responses to
Satan were scriptural. Yes, Jesus was speaking to Satan face to face, but are
we so blind we don't realize that Satan is present in tempting us as well?
Satan is behind
every single temptation to sin.
Mat_4:10 Then
saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat_12:26 And
if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his
kingdom stand?
Mar_4:15 And
these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have
heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in
their hearts.
Luk_10:18 And
he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Luk_13:16 And
ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo,
these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Luk_22:3 Then
entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Luk_22:31 And
the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he
may sift you as wheat
Joh_13:27 And
after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou
doest, do quickly.
Act_5:3 But
Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy
Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Act_26:18 To
open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance
among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Rom_16:20 And
the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
1Co_7:5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may
give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan
tempt you not for your incontinency.
2Co_2:11 Lest
Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2Co_11:14 And
no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co_12:7 And
lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the
revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan
to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
1Th_2:18
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan
hindered us.
2Th_2:9 Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and
lying wonders
1Ti_5:15 For
some are already turned aside after Satan.
Rev_2:9 I know
thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the
blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue
of Satan.
Rev_2:13 I
know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou
holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein
Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Rev_2:24 But
unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this
doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will
put upon you none other burden.
Rev_3:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews,
and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before
thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Rev_12:9 And
the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him.
Rev_20:2 And
he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan,
and bound him a thousand years,
Rev_20:7 And
when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison
*******
Do you still think
Satan isn't real? You cannot believe in
Jesus without believing in Satan. Jesus believes in Satan and know his power
and our weakness.
Jesus led by example
and Jesus used the Sword of the Spirit- the Word of God- against Satan.
So why don't we?
