Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me.
John 14:30
We all know that after this statement was made Satan set out to
destroy Jesus of Nazareth. Why? He'd given up on trying to tempt
Jesus to betray His Father. How would you like to get your spiritual
life to the place where Satan can't find one thing to tempt you with?
In over 6,000 years Satan's tactics are still the same. He used the
same 3 things to tempt Eve in the garden that he used against Jesus
in the wilderness; however, where Eve failed in the best of
circumstances, Jesus succeeded in the worst. How? Jesus knew what the
word of God had to say about the temptations of Satan. Over & over
again He simply told Satan, "It is written". Notice He didn't try to
explain the scripture to Satan. He knew arguing theology with Satan
is meaningless. LOL The same applies to a lot of Satan's followers in
our churches today. LOL Nothing will frustrate a true believer quite
as much as arguing theology with Satan's crowd. The first rule for
success then? Tell them what the Bibles says about something, & don't
let them **** you into trying to explain what you're saying. They
have no desire to understand it anyway, just get you into an
argument. Got sidetracked for a minute. LOL How to "Satanproof" your
life. Remember that Satan's tactics have never changed. He used the
same 3 tools against Jesus in the wilderness that he used against Eve
in the garden:
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of
the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the
world.
1st John 2:16
3 major tools in Satan's arsenal: (1) lust of the flesh (physical
desires; (2) lust of the eyes (covetousness); & (3) the pride of life
(the desire for recognition & acceptance). When you can honestly say
that you're immune to the control these things have over your life as
Jesus was, then he'll probably try to kill you too. You'll be too big
of a threat to him; especially if you're "walking in the truth". I
know this is a rehash of things I've already said, but it's important
that you understand what to expect from Satan & his teachers. If a
teaching appeals to one of these 3 things in your life, then you can
pretty much guess @ it's origin. If a teaching is making you more
susceptible to one of these 3 attacks, then you can pretty much guess
@ it's origin. If Satan can get you all wrapped up in this present
life, he can defeat you folks. Let's face it, he's got most of us
living like this is all of it, like there is no life after death. @
one time people described me as being "so heavenly minded I was no
earthly good". I wish that was true today. When I get back to that
point, I'll have "Satan proofed" my life once again. There was a time
in my life when I wasn't ruled by what people thought, when the most
important thing in my life was God's approval. There was a time in my
life when I trusted God to determine what I really needed, & supply
it. The physical desires part of it has always been a problem area
though. LOL I once told someone we were born with that desire & just
have to learn to control it. If you really want to be immune to all
attacks from Satan, if you really want to be able to recognize the
origin of a teaching, then pay attention to what I'm saying now. Get
to know what the Bible says about these 3 things folks & stand on
it.
