Psalm 44:20-21
King James Version
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,
or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Shall not God search this out?
for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Over three years ago, we wrote "The devil's devices".
We thought that pretty complete.
Until today, when SPIRIT alerted me to something.
Of course!
How could I have missed that!
The lights were blaring.
We simply had to add one more device:
DENIAL.
Satan's SECRET weapon.
With denial, follows ignorance.
And darkness.
2 Corinthians 4:4
King James Version
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
How has Satan influenced us?
What does he want us to deny?
That GOD is pure, perfect, and precise.
Genesis 3:1
King James Version
3 Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made.
And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
That GOD is authority over heaven and earth.
Matthew 4:8-10
King James Version
8 Again, the devil taketh him up
into an exceeding high mountain,
and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world,
and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him,
All these things will I give thee,
if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him,
Get thee hence, Satan:
for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.
That we are all sinful.
Romans 3:23
King James Version
23 For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
That JESUS is the Messiah.
Matthew 23:37-39
King James Version
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets,
and stonest them which are sent unto thee,
how often would I have gathered thy children together,
even as a hen gathereth her chickens
under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you,
Ye shall not see me henceforth,
till ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
That Israel is GOD's chosen nation.
Deuteronomy 7:6
King James Version
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God:
the Lord thy God hath chosen thee
to be a special people unto himself,
above all people
that are upon the face of the earth.
That Satan exists.
2 Corinthians 11:13-14
King James Version
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel;
for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light.
That we are followers of JESUS.
Matthew 26:69-75
King James Version
69 Now Peter sat without in the palace:
and a damsel came unto him, saying,
Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70 But he denied before them all, saying,
I know not what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out into the porch,
another maid saw him,
and said unto them that were there,
This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath,
I do not know the man.
73 And after a while came unto him
they that stood by, and said to Peter,
Surely thou also art one of them;
for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying,
I know not the man.
And immediately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus,
which said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
And he went out, and wept bitterly.
To be born again is to know GOD's TRUTH.
We acknowledge the divinity of CHRIST.
We are safe in CHRIST's cloister.
We have eternal life in Him.
We listen to His voice.
We believe in Him.
We trust Him.
We love Him.
John 10:27-28
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them,
and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand.
What happens to those in denial?
JESUS tells us simply:
Matthew 10:32-33
King James Version
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men,
him will I also deny before my Father
which is in heaven.
Now you see Satan's crooked ways.
Hoping you'd deny the LORD.
Hoping you won't know JESUS is the Messiah.
Hoping you won't realize a real enemy exists.
He concocts plans, like you wouldn't believe.
Always watching, waiting, wrangling.
Beware, if you're not a believer.
Turn to JESUS now.
