Peter got devoured. If Satan can’t devour us, he also tries to attack us like he did Eve when she listened to the serpent whispering lies, which Paul describes in 2 Cor. 11:3, 13-14 as the “angel of light”.
Satan’s Playbook
Are you aware that this morning, Satan wants to poison your thoughts and emotions away from the purity of God’s truth? His attack centers on our minds and emotions.
As the Father of lies wants to snatch the Word of God from us, we think that sin is not so bad.
As the Devil wants us to learn to laugh at sin on television or at the movies, to dull our conscience, so it will no longer warn us of God’s displeasure with sin.
As Satan, he wants to entertain us with sin so that we become very tolerant of it.
Then, he wants to fill our minds with doubts, lies, and false doctrine to debilitate our will, confuse our emotions, corrupt our desires, and draw our affections to the wrong things.
Understanding Satan’s Strategy
So Peter taught the churches to be on constant guard for Satan’s attacks. This morning, what exactly can Satan do? Paul warned in 2 Timothy 2:23-26 that Satan could “snare” believers. Turn there with me to see one way that Satan is at work every day among believers, trying to snare them.
