Game plan.

Satan has one game plan and he uses it over and over again.

I know some people who blame God when trouble comes; when the doctor report is daunting, or when bad things happen to good people.

But we brought this on ourselves in the garden of Eden. Man sinned and thus, had to be punished.

Thank God, I serve a loving, graceful God who sent His only Son to take sin and remove it from our lives. But it doesn’t stop there. We have to do our part in seeking God, answering to His call, and developing and building an eternal relationship throughout our lives.

The devil’s strategy never changes. His ultimate goal is to prevent or damage any relationship with God. If we’re going to battle Satan successfully, we must become a student of Scripture to know how the devil works.

Surrender your life to Jesus; grow in your faith and study the Bible. Ask for God’s grace in understanding what you read. In other words, get ahead of satan’s game plan.

Satan’s goal is to use both pain and pleasure to make us blind to the truth, lead us astray, and keep us miserable forever.

What’s your strategy in the road ahead? Know who your enemy is. You may think it’s your spouse or your friend, but that’s what satan wants you to think. It is the devil’s game plan that destroys lives.

Find Jesus and be ten steps ahead of the devil.

Ephesians 6:12 - “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
