"Satan Fights Dirty: How You Can Be Ready"
James W. Goll, Franklin, TN
You have to run over the devil before he runs over you. You are standing on a battlefield (perhaps a different one than you were last year at this time). You may be standing in the middle of an army or you may be standing all alone. Are you just going to stand there, waiting to see what will happen? Or are you going to do something that will allow you to get and keep the upper hand?
King David gave us a psalm that we should graft onto ourselves so that we can be true overcomers: "I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed" (Psalm 18:37, NIV). Earlier in the same psalm, he expressed his utter dependency on God when his enemies proved to be too strong for him: "He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support" (Psalm 18:17-18, NIV).
He was a true overcomer—determined to make an end of his enemies, but always aware that he needed help doing it.
Why Is Satan Picking on You?
Do you sometimes feel as if the enemy has painted a bull's-eye on you? What did you do to attract his unwelcome attention?
| "Born in the midst of battle and born for battle, we are following our Commander-in-Chief, whose mission was to destroy the works of the devil." |
Well, for one thing, you are God's friend. God created you for His pleasure and He takes pleasure in you (see Revelation 4:11). He takes so much pleasure in you that He sent His Son to redeem you from the hand of His enemy so that He could adopt you as His child. He takes so much pleasure in you that He is beautifying you and making you able to reflect His image the way you were created to do.
Since satan cannot assault God directly, he attacks God's friends. He tries to undermine the ground beneath your feet. He tries to make you deny your Lord. The devil tries to paralyze your planning, abort your dreams and dilute your hope. He opposes everything that could help you stay close to God's heart.
The truth of the situation is that the devil is mighty jealous of you. Who do you think you are, giving glory to God, surrendering yourself to Him as your Father and Lord—and resisting evil at every turn?
What Are Satan's Favorite Tactics?
Satan is not particularly creative. He exercises his malice in certain predictable (and, therefore, resistible) ways. With his limited repertoire, all he can do is to mix standard ingredients into variations on the same recipe. Here is a quick list of his favorite tactics against human beings... (continue reading)
