Satan’s Only Weapon Against You
Satan speaks three times in the Bible:
Genesis 3:1-6—Eat the fruit and Eve’s eyes will be opened, she’ll be smarter, and she’ll be like gods
Job 1:6-12—God dares Satan to get Job to fall, so Satan asks permission to touch all that Job has–family, possessions, servants, etc
Job 2:1-7—After unsuccessfully getting Job to fall, Satan asks permission to touch Job’s bone and flesh
Matthew 4:1-11—Satan tempts Jesus to turn stones into bread, show off your angels so you don’t dash your foot, and worship Satan to get the kingdoms without suffering.
Paul says we’re not ignorant concerning Satan’s devices, yet we act ignorant. There is a remarkable consistency in these words of Satan. Notice how he attacks.
He uses physical things to try to get people to fall spiritually.
Well duh, nice insight, Jeff, did you take the whole month off to come up with that one? Yeah, actually.
Notice something else–Two of these attacks are directly related to food!
Are you aware of the fact that Satan doesn’t need people to be homosexual, abortion loving adulterers to keep them from heaven, he might just tempt you to eat cookies.
Creation fell over a piece of fruit. Never let that escape your awareness. How many “little” and “insignificant” things did Satan use to keep you from God today?
