The power of Satan

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about , seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8

Satan has great power, and we need to be aware of it. If we do not acknowledge or make ourselves, and our children aware of Satan's power then we can easily be effected by it. We need to know how and in what ways he works.
He trys to get at us each and every day. And each and every day we need to knock him down!

Here is a few ways Satan uses to get at us....

~~ giving us negative and ungodly thoughts

~~ tormenting our minds with worry and doubt

~~Tellling us God is not big enough to protect us.

~~ wearing down our moral standards and Godly principals via the media

~~ keeping us so busy that we don't have time for family devotion time

~~ bad influence from wrong friends

~~ by lack of communication with our spouse and children

~~ through false prophets

~~ by ruining the home atmosphere with a T.V. going all the time

~~ slipping in some bad things in a " good" movie, or convincing us that bad movies won't hurt us
~~ by appearing like a sheep in stead of that famous picture of this scary red devil with horns and a pointed tail!
(Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:15)

So what can we do to stop Satan's power.

~~ by being aware of Satan's great power and the ways he works

~~By Loving and obeying God with all your heart, mind and soul.

~~Stand strong on the word of God.

~~Never believe anything unless you can back it in the Bible.

~~ Beware of false prophets

~~ Do not neglect Bible reading and prayer time.

~~ keep communication lines flowing all the time between you and your spouse and children

~~ do not let your home be controlled by a T.V.

~~ " Submit yourselves therefore unto God. Resit the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7
~~ beware of man's traditions ( if they don't line up with the Bible, then throw them out)


Let us never forget the power of Satan, yet remember God's power is greater, and through God we have the power to destroy all the works of the devil. Satan has no more power or control in our lives than what we allow.

May you live strong for God always!!!

In Him,
