Avoiding Satan's Snares

Ecclesiastes 3: 8-10, 14-16

Satan wants to devour us like a lion devours his prey. He is a fallen angel and he plagues this earth with tragedy and lies. He should get credit for the evil corruption and war that we see today.

Satan tried to tempt Jesus in the Bible and he was constant in his attempts. If he were to be so persistent in tempting Jesus, why would he not be twice as persistent in pursuing each one of us?! That story proves that you can say no and be victorious over the Devil, however, so be persistent in your resistance!

2 Timothy 2:20-26

When you commit willful sin you walk into the devil's snare. When you see someone fall victim to sin you should point it out, but don't condemn them. You lead them from it, not judge them for it.

Those that are saved need not worry about the devil taking away their soul. Being saved does not protect you, however, from the devil trying to hurt you, your family, or your loved ones.

Don't stray from the Word - when you do you go into the world and face Satan and you are without that protection from the Father. The devil is as dangerous as a sleeping lion, the moment you stray from God ~ Satan knows it!

Psalms 119:67 ~ 1 Peter 5:8-10 ~ 2 Peter 1:4-9 ~ 2 Peter 2:20-22 ~ 1 John 2:15-16

Be a role model and be faithful to God. Stay faithful to the good stuff; Bible, gospel songs, and wholesome living!

Don't strut. Be not proud and believe that you are above the devil's reach - for no one is! Don't challenge him as he will attack full force!! Don't be so caught up in yourself that you forget God - always make time for him, and make him #1 in your life!

Proverbs 16:18 ~ John 12:42-43

Desire God's approval and be not accountable just to man. Don't stoop and don't compromise yourself. Don't compromise your values or your beliefs!

Romans 12:21 ~ Isaiah 58:1

Always let good prevail and do not condone evil! We need what God is giving us. Don't stop doing good! 

Revelations 2:10

Don't Stray ~ Don't Stoop ~ Don't Stop!!!
