Spiritual Warfare...exposing Satan's lies

I want to start sharing some facts concerning Satan's tactics of deception and lies.

First, the greatest weapon he uses against Christians is condemnation ; even though we're told in Rom.8:1 that there is NO condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, many Christians fail to stand on The Word of God and cave in to Satan's constant accusations. And as a results their (our) spiritual growth/maturity is greatly hindered.

Another lie Satan uses is trying to make people think he is present everywhere (omnipresent), he's NOT. Believers sometimes get this idea from logical thought and from what others say. For example, brother 'Bill' in Indiana may testify how 'Satan' was attacking him yesterday and at the same time sister 'Julie' in Florida tells how 'Satan' was coming against her yesterday, while 'Fredrico' in Spain says he was under the oppression of 'Satan' yesterday. Satan can't be everywhere at once; he does have many demons (Mark 5:9)who carry out his wishes against mankind making it seem like he's everywhere.

He also wants to be thought of as all knowing (omniscient) , he's NOT. An example that comes to mind would be the crucifixion of Christ...if he knew everything in advance then he surely wouldn't have entered Judas(Luke 22:3) and brought about his own defeat. He sure don't know they day of The Lord's return, only God The Father knows that, but he does know his days are limited.

All powerful (omnipotent), is another misconception that people have of Satan, he's NOT. In his temptations of Job he was only allowed to go as far as God allowed.

Anyone is welcome to add to this, it's not to give glory to Satan, but to expose his wiles. We are in a warfare and to fight effectively we should understand basic truths about our adversary.

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
