"Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being tempted by God,' for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when… Continue reading Desires

Thorn in the Flesh
"So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me,… Continue reading Thorn in the Flesh
The Prince of this World
“But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and… Continue reading The Prince of this World
Your Enemies
Many people don’t consider they have any enemies, perhaps they’re right, except for the one enemy of mankind, Satan. (1 Pet. 5:8) Yeshua has defeated Satan’s power over God’s Children and is destroying his works. (1 John 3:8) For the rest of us who think we have enemies, whether true or only imagined, it can… Continue reading Your Enemies
Futility of Opposition
God does not quit in His work until it reaches fruition. Those opposed to God, who do not believe He exists, or are consumed by their own selfish agenda or do not know Him are at an impasse and dead end. Opposition to God will produce frustration, at least, and ultimately a miserable death in… Continue reading Futility of Opposition
In the Short term
"Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He… Continue reading In the Short term
The Intercession of God
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32. "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit… Continue reading The Intercession of God
Children of the Devil
This is a dreadful topic, but it explains a lot of what is happening in our day. Moreover, it is true and we need not ignore the designs, purposes, and plans of God. "The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason… Continue reading Children of the Devil
Satan’s Teat
1 Peter 2:2-3 “Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in your salvation. Surely you have tasted that the Lord is good!” Scripture encourages us to study God's Word in order to grow in the Lord. Learning and applying God's Word to our lives,… Continue reading Satan’s Teat
The Gift of Discerning of Spirits
"For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish… Continue reading The Gift of Discerning of Spirits
Accusations
Have you ever heard accusations in your mind? Are they immediately after some interaction with someone or as a consequence of your own thoughts or actions? Are they out of the blue almost random accusations pointing out your weakness, things you have already confessed from the distant past, or things that you could never make… Continue reading Accusations
The Unman
I have often imagined Satan as a super intelligent being perhaps only a little less intelligent than God himself. However, in the fiction story told in the book, Perelandra, written by C. S. Lewis the being representative of Satan is described as more like “an imbecile or a monkey or a very nasty child”. Perelandra… Continue reading The Unman
