Fourth: He brings sickness and disease.
Sickness can happen by the lack of taken care of yourself.
But we see in Acts 5:12-16, how the people who were healed by the Apostles
where were vexed with unclean spirit. The chasten out of evil spirit is
connected to sickness.
Acts 5:16 says There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed everyone.
Luck 4:40: 40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that
had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
Sickness is of the devil. It is not wrong to believe that 100% of sickness is from the devil.
The devil will attack your health to bring you to the point where you are forced to give up on God.
His goal is to draw you away from God.
That`s why it is so important to having faith in the things of God, building it up by reading the word and praying.
So that when the devil one comes, you are know worth is Christ and the authority he has giving you.
Fifth: He wants to devour and destroy.
1 Peter 5:8: 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
We have to be sober means to be discreet, to watch
We have to be vigilant means to keep awake.
Just like the watchman.
So, focus and be determined with the word of God.
Have passion for the things of God
Pray at all times
Have midnight prayers
Pray long, pray short.
Sixth: He is your accuser.
Rev 12:10: 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now
is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God Day and night.
He is the same one who will lure you to commit sin and the
same to remind you of your sin.
He is the same one to encourage you to carry out that act, which is not holy before God and the same to tell you that you are not worthy to pray.
He will convince you not to go to church and the same one to accuse you of not going to church.
Sin consciousness is not God’s Work. We have to repent and
go back to God
But Satan wants to push us always from God by constantly remaining you of your sin.
Anything done out of fear is an absent of Faith.
Seventh: He creates strife among men.
James 3:14-16: 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife
in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. Give no place to the devil.
John 10:10 say The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. So, each time, your heard is hardened to forgive, that is
not God rather satan.
Let us to be vigilant. Walk in Love, peace at all times.
Forgive as your Father has forgiven you
Love as he has love you first.
We have the power to resist him at times. James 4: 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you
We are sealed with the mark of the Holy Spirit forever.
Know your place in the kingdom of God and take up your authority.
Eph 6:16 says we should take up the shield of faith, with which we can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Last thing, stop always giving satan credits. He can't do anything to you if you don't give him the permission to do so.
So , be vigilant, sober and give no place for the devil.
Greater is he who is in you than he that is in the world
