 The
Devil is your Worst Enemy
Don't be fooled
by Satan !
by: Pastor Max
Solbrekken, D.D.
1
Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
Acts
2:21 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved."
The
Devil is real - He is your enemy - The Devil wants to destroy you
'Man's
greatest enemy is the Devil. Man's fiercest foe from the Garden of
Eden right to the end of time is not cancer, communism, death or
disease...It is the devil'! - Billy Graham
The
Bible says - THE DEVIL IS A LIAR, THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM
John
8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a
lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Dr.
Rebecca Brown wasn't doing research for a book on witchcraft when she met
Elaine, nor was she thinking about evil spirits, the devil, demons or the
occult.
THERAPY
& DRUGS NOT ABLE TO HELP WITH FEAR, TORMENT & BONDAGE
Brown,
a medical doctor, was shocked by Elaine's story of fear, torment and
bondage. When therapy and drugs failed to help, Brown was amazed at her
patient's recovery by her acceptance of Jesus Christ.
DRAMATIC
HEALING CAME THROUGH ACCEPTANCE OF JESUS CHRIST
After
Elaine's dramatic healing and escape from the devil, satanism, other
tormented young people in similar straits began calling the MD's office,
seeking similar assistance.
Dr.
Brown's recent book 'He Came to Set the Captives Free' is the clinical
report of many of her patients, who decided after deliverance from the
devil & evil spirits, to publicize their traumatic encounters with the
devil.
After
seven years of medical and psychological research, the medic was convinced
that Satanism, the devil & his evil spirits is a most destructive and
evil power, a power that can be conquered only through faith in Christ.
THE
DEVIL IS COME TO KILL, STEAL & DESTROY
This
should come as no surprise since Jesus said that the devil, satan - the
thief - had come "only to kill, steal and to destroy". (John
10:10) Jesus called him by three names:
SATAN
- the adversary or enemy
DEVIL
- the liar, false accuser, traducer
BEELZEBUB
- the God of flies or master of filth
THE
DEVIL, SATAN'S SLAVES - The Bible states that he is Abaddan (satan, the
devil) - the destroyer and St. Paul warns that he is such a deceiver that
he will "appear as an angel of light". (2 Corinthians 11:14)
2
Corinthians 4:4 "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 into them."
PEOPLE
THAT MESS AROUND IN THE OCCULT BECOME SATAN'S SLAVES
Dabbling
in the occult can open the door to possession and a controlled life, which
turns people into the devils - satan's slaves, observes Brown.
Elaine's story is one of sadistic and sexual bondage to evil spirits and a
ritualistic marriage to the devil.
EXPERTS
IN U.S. WARN YOUNG PEOPLE - SATAN WORSHIP CAUSING SEVERE PSYCHOLOGICAL
DAMAGE & TRAUMA
Other
experts are also sounding the alarm, warning of the dramatic rise in satan
worship in the US and the psychological damage it is doing to unsuspecting
youngsters. As well as the terrible trauma it causes to their families,
friends and communities.
Earlier,
devilish satanism was dismissed as a harmless fad that would soon die out,
but now sociologists and clergymen are encountering new, scary and very
real problems linked to devil worship.
DEVIL
WORSHIP IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM - Police have been checking out reports
that covens of young people are gathering in wooded areas near Los
Angeles, to worship the devil. During this devil worship, sacrificial
satanic rituals like killing cats and dogs have been confirmed and
officials suspect humans have been sacrificed in this devil worship
ritual.
Devil
worship is such a serious problem that several years ago, some churches in
the area sponsored a seminar on DEVIL WORSHIP, SATANISM &
NEO-PAGANISM just to learn more on the subject.
The
seminar featured a Christian response to devil worship, evil, exorcism and
satanic deception. "Satanism, devil worship is alive and well,
and the sad thing is that it is growing among teenagers", states
Roger Burt, a Christian authority.
Dr.
Billy Graham declares: "A generation ago, when I began as an
evangelist, people generally, and intellectuals in particular thought of
the devil as an anachronistic symbol, a handy expression of profanity, or
as a superstition believed in chiefly by religious eccentrics. Today, the
devil is getting maximum exposure, precisely as the Bible predicted would
happen prior to Christ's return."
In
his book, The Second Coming: Satanism in America, Arthur Lyons states
"that from a scientific or secular viewpoint, the 1970's revival of
devil worship, witchcraft, sorcery and occultism in America was totally
unexpected. Most intellectuals had expected belief in the devil to
disappear within a few years."
THE
DEVIL IS AROUND MORE THAN HE WAS YESTERDAY AND WILL BE MORE VISIBLE
TOMORROW
And
Dr. John Wesley White warns: "The devil. We all wish the devil would
go away. But the devil is around a lot more than he was yesterday, and the
devil is going to be more visible and vocal tomorrow than he is
today. Like a vast, vicious virus that won't stop, the devil's iniquitous
vices are on every hand. To be ignorant of the devil's tactics is to lay
ourselves open to chronic peril".
THE
BIBLE TELLS US THE DEVIL WILL BE VERY VISIBLE JUST BEFORE THE RETURN OF
JESUS CHRIST
According
to prophecy, Satan, the Devil will make a momentous comeback just before
Jesus returns.
Satan,
the devil will orchestrate the world's greatest confrontation, the 'Battle
of Armageddon'. In the end satan, the devil loses totally. Only one
angel will be needed to cast satan, the devil into the bottomless pit
forever!
THE
DEVIL WILL BE IN THE LIMELIGHT - FOR A SHORT TIME UNTIL HE IS CAST INTO
THE 'LAKE OF FIRE' FOREVER
For
a short while satan, the devil will bask in the limelight as a part of a
Troika - the unholy trinity - together with the antichrist and the false
prophet.
Then,
satan, the devil will be cast into the 'Lake of Fire' forever!
Hallelujah!-
