We believe in the Devil
The character know as Satan or the Devil is mentioned more than 85 times throughout with 67 of them in the New testament and 31 of those times it was by Jesus
Many today allegorize the existence of a real enemy yet Jesus did not romanticize it but warned that it is absolutely an issue believers should be aware of!
Peter describes this enemy of our soul as diabolos - a traducer - one who speaks maliciously and falsely; a defamer; from the Latin words meaning to expose with the intention to lead!
Too alter, change or convert from a belief; a seducer!
You see Satan wants you to believe his lies in order to lead you away from your God given destiny
Kittle - one who disrupts friendships and sows discord among those who are at peace; there is a purposeful attempt to discord for one own benefit.
You see David was given a command from God NOT to number the people yet the enemy altered the course of David’s obedience
There is an interesting description of Satan’s plan in Zec 3:1
After receiving the Holy Spirit at the baptism of John, Jesus was immediately taken to the wilderness where Satan tried to pervert the plan of God in the same way he did to Eve; prevent the Word of God
1/2 truths, lies, innuendos, always twisting the meaning of the word of God to appeal to the fallen nature of man!
Peter describes Satan with the word Adversary
A legal term describing the one challenging the law
In Job we see an interesting event - the heavenly courts are called to session and present is the prosecutor - Satan
The Hebrew here does not describe Satan as a demonic being but rather prosecutor - going throughout the earth and considering men’s opposition or favorable actions toward God
God presents Job as a loyal servant
Satan then attacks Job’s inward motive
look at the accusation:
God was a hedge around him - his household - his possessions
Satans plan was to attack everything earthly about Job
Listen my friends, earthly possessions are a benefit of relationship with God not the foundation as Satan would soon find out!
As the account goes Satan had authority to control sickness, natural disasters, robberies etc and soon Job is stripped of his possessions, family members, and friends but in the end
Total destruction upon his eartly goods and his response?
As we know the story goes on to tell of another heavenly court where Satan attacks his health
His response
My friends you are being foolishly nieve if you think for one moment that as a born again believer in Christ
Satan’s plan is to disrupt man’s relationship with God by three means:
Temptation to sin; Accusing them before God; disrupt the divine plan of salvation
The heavenly courts are still in session today!
The enemy of our soul is daily accusing us before the throne of grace
So what can we say today?
1 - Satan is the prince of this world and can dispose of its kingdoms according to his plan
He is blinding the mind of the unredeemed
The unredeemed are living under the power of darkness
Christ then has brought the kingdom of God which puts an end to the kingdom of the devil
With the completion of the work of Christ, Satan has lost the rights as accuser of the brethren!
Judgement is now committed to Christ who is seated at the right hand of the Father daily making intercession for you and I
But, the time has yet to come for Satan still has a short time left
As he contended with the nation of Israel in the past, his present battle is against the Kingdom of God which has now come to man!
