If I were the devil, this is how I would attack God's people. Part 4

The Bible teaches about Spiritual warfare.



Ephesians 6:10-12 Be strong with the Lord's mighty power. 11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. 12 For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.



A few weeks back at Life Community Church, I taught on spiritual warfare by looking at how the enemy is attacking God’s people. My sermon title was, “If I were the devil, this is how I would attack God’s people.” I listed several ways I would attack God’s people. I had several people request copies of the ways, so I thought I would simply put them on my blog and hopefully get feedback.

4. If I were the devil, I would get bright, young people to go off to college and learn humanistic views that appear to discredit the Bible. I would convince them that right and wrong are only wrong if you think it is wrong. I would make sex, alcohol and drugs very accessible, especially now that they are out from under a protective covering of family. Then I would convince them that church doesn’t relate to them anymore. And If I were the devil, I would know that when I have conquered this generation then I will soon be in control of business, schools, government, civic leadership positions and even more scary church leadership. If I were the devil I would be very proud of what I have accomplished so far in this area.

This week at Life Community Church, I taught on spiritual warfare by looking at how the enemy is attacking God’s people. My sermon title was, “If I were the devil, this is how I would attack God’s people.” I listed seven ways I would attack God’s people. I had several people request copies of the seven ways, so I thought I would simply put them on my blog and hopefully get feedback.

3. If I were the devil I would bring offense and hurt from church leaders and cause people to lose the value and their respect for the local church. I would tell people that they can be a thriving Christian without meeting together with other believers. I would show them many outstanding Christian books that they could read; many great sermons online and maybe introduce them to a few other people who are sick of organized church. In a nutshell, if I were the devil, I would spread a new spirit of independence, which is a nice word for rebellion, against God’s bride, the local church.

2. If I were the devil I would get people buy high speed internet and multichannel cable packages with movie channels and then I would open the flood gates of hell into the homes of God’s people. I would convince parents to let their kids watch shows that open the doors to witchcraft, violence, and homosexuality and every other perversion. I would lure men into viewing things that should be sacred ground between a husband and wife. I would hook people on shows that make Christianity appear outdated and not relevant. In a nutshell, if I were the devil, I would get access to people’s homes and minds through media and begin to train people to think the way I want them to think.

1. If I were the devil I would get people to buy real big houses, new cars and anything else that would tie up their money. I would use debt to trap people into slavery. I would use discontentment to become a major drive in people’s lives. I would convince people that the church wants my money and tithing was not biblical. In a nutshell, if I were the devil, I would hold people hostage to their money causing them to be unable to pursue their God given dreams and withhold money from being used to help spread the good news of Jesus Christ.
