Satan's Servants

Satan's Servants

Many people are serving Satan out of ignorance, not realizing

that they are his victims and pawns. (Ephesians 4:18, Having

the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life

of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the

blindness of their heart.) Others have deliberately chosen to follow

the devil.

 

Romans 1:29-32, Being filled with all unrighteousness,

fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of

envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters,

haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors

of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding,

covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable,

unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they

which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do

the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

 

Some have chosen to follow their own ways and are thus

following the devil because selfishness is part of his nature.

II Timothy 3:2, For men shall be lovers of their own selves,

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,

unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection,

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of

those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of

pleasures more than lovers of God.

 

And, still others have utterly rejected Christ and therefore

are also followers of Satan. (Mark 16:16, ...He that believeth

not shall be damned.)

 

Let us look at the nature of Satan so that we will be able to

recognize his devices. His lies can be exposed by examining their

source, thus perceiving that his work is behind them. Once they

are exposed, we can resist the devil and overcome him. It is very

important to know the nature and the tactics of our enemy if we

are to defeat him.
