đź’Ą Wednesday Night Recapđź’Ą
Satan has a strategy—but as believers, we need one too. ⚔️🙏
The enemy’s plan isn’t just designed for pastors, preachers, or church leaders. It’s designed for every believer. If Satan can keep us from knowing the truth of God’s Word, he can keep us from recognizing what he is doing in our lives.
There are several ways the enemy tries to accomplish this: spiritual blindness, spiritual ignorance, and deception.
đź“– Spiritual Blindness
The enemy wants to blind people from seeing the truth of the Gospel. But darkness cannot stand against light. The Word of God brings light and exposes what the enemy wants to keep hidden. We cannot recognize the enemy’s lies if we don’t know God’s truth.
đź“– Spiritual Ignorance
We are warned not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. The enemy would love for us to remain unaware of how he works. He uses distractions, temptations, addictions, busyness, discouragement, and other traps to keep us in bo***ge. That is why we have to know Scripture and understand how to apply it to our everyday lives.
đź“– Deception
If the enemy can’t keep you blinded, he will try to deceive you. Deception can slowly lead us away from God’s truth without us even realizing how far we have wandered. Sometimes we can become comfortable with things that are pulling us away from God. That is why we need to pray and seek God before making decisions and ask Him for wisdom and discernment.
Look at the prodigal son in Luke 15. He left the presence of a loving father, took what had been given to him, and eventually found himself at one of the lowest places he could go. Sin will always take us farther than we intended to go. But the beautiful part of the story is that when the son came home, his father was waiting for him.
The enemy may try to separate us from the presence of our Father, but he can never separate us from the love of God.
One of the greatest weapons we have against the enemy is the written Word of God. But owning a Bible isn’t enough. We have to open it. We have to study it. We have to understand it. And most importantly, we have to live it.
The enemy knows how powerful the Word is, so he will do everything he can to keep us too busy, too distracted, too tired, or too comfortable to spend time in it.
Learn how to study Scripture.
Make time to study Scripture.
Pray for understanding of Scripture.
Ask questions.
Seek God.
And put His Word into action.
The enemy has a playbook and a strategy, but God has already given us everything we need to recognize it and stand against it.
⚔️ Come against the enemy’s playbook with the Word of God.
Know the Word. Believe the Word. Pray the Word. LIVE the Word. 🙌❤️
