How do you picture satan in your mind, or do you believe he exists at all? I know I've been talking about the spiritual battle alot lately but that's where God has had me. And where he has me in his Word is where I'll stay. Many Christians not only aren't in this battle, they're oblivious to the warfare that's going on. Now back to my question, how do you picture satan in your mind? Does he have a pointy tale and horns? We can always answer our questions by looking at Gods Word.

2 Corinthians 11:14 "...for satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light."

Doesn't sound like he has a pointy tale and horns there does it? He masquerades as a messenger of truth. Someone who is spreading Gods Word.

2 Corinthians 11:13 "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ".

We have to be on guard for false teachings. They are everywhere, just turn on your TV and you'll see them. So what do we do? We must check everything we're told with the truth of Gods Word. Have you noticed how everything revolves around knowing Gods Word? As Christians we must know it, we must live it, we must study it for ourselves and quit relying on someone else to tell us what it says. And as for those who don't think that satan exist or is just a superstitous tale, satan is real and he is powerful. He's refered to 250 times in the New Testament.

1 Peter 5:8 warns us to "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeing whom he may devour".

Look at that, not mess with, not make uncomfortable, not cause you problems but to DEVOUR you. He will do whatever he can to drag you out of fellowship with Jesus Christ and out of Christian service. The way to resist the devil is by remaining in the Christian faith, live by the truth of Gods Word. Put on your Armor!
