Satan doesn’t get to Win

Have you ever had a really tough week where things change quickly both professionally and personally? In those times it seems like everything goes from bad to worse and we began to feel like our lives are out of control. Sometimes it feels like Satan is gaining ground and we are helplessly watching without any ability to slow his pace. Yet the truth is that the devil doesn’t get to win.

At the end of time, Satan and his demons will be thrown into the lake of fire to be tormented every single day and night forever. He knows that he is in a losing battle so it’s his agenda to take as many people as he can with him. The devil will do everything it takes to get those who aren’t going with him to fail. He uses other people to frustrate, persecute, and ridicule the saints of God. Even if Satan wins a scuffle every now and then, he’s losing ground every day.

As believers, we stand in the gap for our family and friends that are deceived by the devil. We do this as we intercede and witness to them. Our testimony of God’s grace and deliverance over our lives is a powerful weapon against the devil. In addition, as we learn God’s word—we fight Satan in the battle of our minds when we speak God’s word of truth to his lies.

The only way Satan can win is if we give up. We stop praying and reading God’s word. We allow our flesh to dictate our response to difficulty and disappointments. As soldiers of Jesus Christ, we must fight back against the enemy every single day and never give up. We are equipped with the power of Jesus’ name to drive out demons from our presence.

Satan never sleeps and he will never stop deceiving until his final day before judgment. Yet we don’t have to cower in fear of him because greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. He is a defeated foe and he doesn’t get to win.

Prayer

Dear Lord, help me to remember that Satan is defeated and to stand up in the name of Jesus against his tactics. I pray for your Spirit to drive me towards victory every single day. Amen.

In His Service,
