We are in week FIVE of an in-depth study about Satan...His origin... And his most successful tactics used against us as disciples of Christ today!
He strives to hurt an Unbeatable God... By hurting His Bride!Making her as miserable, ineffective & broken as possible!
Thus far... We have looked closely at his attacks by way of...Guilt and worthlessness...Doubt in God's Character or Existence...Anger and unforgiveness...And how most of us have become so busy & distracted...
That we have left the world to die and burn in war...One of the most powerful...
How an obsession with Acceptance from others... And our perceived Reputation amongst our peers... Dictates many of our lives!

We are in week four of an in-depth study about Satan—his origin and his most successful tactics used against us as disciples of Christ today, as he strives to hurt an unbeatable God by hurting His Bride—making her as miserable, ineffective and broken as possible. Thus far, we have looked closely at his attacks by way of guilt and worthlessness; doubt in God's character or existence; anger and unforgiveness; and how most of us have become so busy and distracted that we have left the world to die and burn this war as most of us remain unaware of the real enemy. Today, because of the severity and influence of this next strategy of Satan, we will cover only this one: acceptance and reputation. And it is a guarantee that every person in this room is affected by this one tactic because we all have an inherent desire—a need to be accepted, wanted and admired by others.

We are in the midst of a multi-lesson study...Designed to make us recognize and better understand our greatest enemy!
 
Thus far we have traced Satan’s origin...And his tactics to destroy…God's Plan of Reconciliation with mankind...Since the first day Eve was lured away in the Garden!
 
We ended in our last study together...With the understanding that Satan…Is now irreversibly defeated...And in his desperation and angry thirst for vengeance...

Last week we took an in-depth look at the origin of Satan and his battle plan through the ages of mankind. We determined that after all of his foiled attempts to separate us from the love of God in history, and after his dismal failure of stopping Christ's plan of Salvation through His own tortured death in our place, he knows he is completely defeated now. Today in his fury and hopelessness, he is lashing out at God's creation with one purpose against those who have held true to Jesus Christ. That objective being to make us as miserable, ineffective and as broken as possible. And to turn the world as hatefully and violently against us and our message of hope as possible; to break God's heart by hurting His beloved and destroying His Kingdom.
