Satan: His Works

Satan is an untiring, cruel, and crafty worker, and he is a powerful adversary of the human race. He began his work on earth in the Garden of Eden, and will continue "seeking whom he may devour" until he is cast into the lake of fire (Rev 20:10). So to withstand the "wiles of the devil" (Eph 6:11), you must put on the full armor of God.

  1. the girdle of truth (John 14:16)
  2. the breastplate of righteousness (Rom 10:4)
  3. the gospel sandals (1 Cor 15:3)
  4. the shield of faith (Heb 11:5)
  5. the helmet of salvation (Heb 5:9)
  6. the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God! (Heb4:12)
  7. praying always (Thes 5:17)
This armor is found in Ephesians 6:10, and without it you will lived a defeated Christian life.
Yes! You need to beware of some of Satan's works:
  1. He snares the unbeliever and takes him captive to do his will (2 Tim 2:26 - Eph 2:1-3).
  2. He entices men to do evil (Thess 3:5).
  3. He has the power of death (Heb 2:14). He is the slayer of men (John 8:44).
  4. He motivates professing believers to betray Christ (john 13:2).
  5. He inspires believers to lie to God in the church (Acts 5:1-11).
  6. He enters into people and causes them to do his will (John 13:21-17).
  7. He has the power to steal the word of God from the hearts of those who hear the word of God, but do not understand it (Matt 13:19).
  8. He blinds the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from being saved (2 Cor 4:4).
  9. He sifts the believer to bring out the chaff in his life (Luke 22:31).
  10. He has access to the throne of God and accuses the bretheren before God (Rev 12:10).
  11. He will work through the Antichrist in the Great Tribulation (2 Thess 2:8-12).
For thousands of years, Satan did everything to block the first coming of Christ and to keep Him from fulfilling the Old Testament types and prophecies of His atoning death on Calvary (Is 53:1-12).
