Not ignorant of Satan's devices.

2Co 2:9  For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 

2Co 2:10  To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; 

2Co 2:11  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

Not ignorant of Satan's devices.

We can't afford to be ignorant of Satan and His devices, we really can't. He surrounds us, he invades us, he taunts us, he tortures us, he uses us. If we don't believe he is in our lives then we are deceiving ourselves. He was in Jesus' life. Jesus was constantly rebuking Satan and Satan's demons from people trapped by him. Jesus had a one on one with Satan in the wilderness and defeated him by using the Word of God. We have to be able to say that we are NOT ignorant of Satan's devices.

May Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior keep us safe in His love, forgiving us our many sins, protecting us from the evil of Satan who would sift us all as wheat!
