Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 3)
Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
The devil is the master of mind games. No one plays it better than he does. This is why he employs this as his medium of attack.
In one of the most quoted scripture also used for spiritual warfare, Paul spoke on pulling down the strongholds of the devil in 1 Corinthians 10:4.
Here's how he said we can do that: [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). (2 Corinthians 10:5 Amplified Bible)
Nothing physically-related is mentioned in the verses above. All of the things mentioned are mind and thought-related:
1. Arguments.
2. Theories.
3. Reasonings.
4. Anti-God knowledge.
5. Thought.
Before the devil attacks your physique, he attacks your pysche.
If he wins in your pysche, the natural physical defences are put down and access is gotten easily.
You see God created man that his spirit in relation with the soul will have rule over his physical body: This the devil knows well.
He knows if he attacks you physically and you're strong in spirit and soul, he will lose. So he attacks the soul; your seat of emotions, thoughts and reason. Knowing that if he gets you here, he's gotten you physically.
Now that we know the medium, what are these devices he employs? We'll start discussing them tomorrow by God's Grace.
Stay Graced...
