What Do We Know About This Formidable Adversary?

Real Profoundly evil A power to be reckoned with He is:

Adversary Accuser Tempter Deceiver Enemy Author of Havoc Prince of unseen powers He is described as the:

Prince of this world God of this world Murderer Father of lies Abductor who takes people captive Prince of demons who heads an organized kingdom

His prime target is the church Never underestimate him

In the early days Today

He is astonishingly clever His doom is sure BUT

Satan will be hurled down one last time

How can we cope with him in the meantime? Monitor the way we think Take God as our Model Put up a fight Use our weapons & armor Flee to Jesus

Michael Green: Church needs to recover: 1.Awareness we are truly in a great spiritual warfare 2.Reliance on truth 3.Unity 4.Mission

Michael Green: Victorious ones have conquered Satan by: 1.The blood of the Lamb 2.The word of their testimony 3.Total commitment to the Lord unto death itself Rev. 12:9-11

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the Devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will Suffer persecution... Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.
