Satan – Overcoming Deceptions

. By loving the truth

2 Thessalonians 1:10-11

on the day  he comes to be glorified  in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
    With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,  that our God may make you worthy  of his calling,  and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness  and your every deed prompted by faith.

. By watching out

Luke 21:8

He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.

. By the Spirit’s guidance

John 16:13

But when he, the Spirit of truth,  comes, he will guide you into all the truth.  He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

. By Distinguishing the spirits

1 Corinthians 12:10

to another miraculous powers,  to another prophecy,  to another distinguishing between spirits,  to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,  and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

.  By sincere devotion to Christ

2 Corinthians 11:3

But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning,  your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

. By being aware of Satan’s schemes

2 Corinthians 2:11

in order that Satan  might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

. By putting on God’s full Armor

Ephesians 6:11-12

Put on the full armor of God,  so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.   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.
