Since the day Satan was kicked out of heaven, he’s been working on the fall of man. And in the garden of Eden, he succeeded in getting Gods precious creation to fall into his snare. That was quite a victory for Satan. In fact, it was such a victory, that every human being is born into sin because of it.
Satan’s victory in the Garden of Eden was so huge, that he made quite a name for himself, and he realized that he could use this to his advantage. To this day, Satan continues to work on his renown, and he has become quite good at it. He’s become so good at keeping himself in the back of humans brains that, in fact, little children even know about him and the deeds he does.
The Bible says that our flesh and spirit are constantly at battle. (Romans 7:19)And it true. Any human being can attest to the fact that their flesh wants one thing while so many times their spirits are pulling in the complete opposite direction. Satan loves this, and uses it to his advantage more than we think.
“Satan is bad” “Satan is evil” “Satan made me do it”- These are all thoughts that come through our mind at times, and why do you think we do that? Because Satan has trained the human mind to attest all evil things and all things bad to him. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Why?
Remember when I said that we are all born in sin? And that our flesh and spirit constantly war against each other? If the spirit is good, and wants to do all things good, and our flesh wars with our spirit, then our flesh has to be something other than good right?
We give Satan way too much credit. He has worked on getting his name out there for so long that we. As humans, begin to think thoughts that we think ourselves and give credit to Satan for whispering them in our ear.
“Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” I can take this as a double meaning. Satan? Yeah of course. What’s in us Christians is so much more powerful than anything Satan can even imagine to posses. The other thing that is in us is US. Humans. God, who lives inside us Holy Ghost Filled people, is more powerful than our flesh! Stop giving Satan all the credit for those thoughts, and stop thinking your getting picked on. A lot of times, we don’t need ANY help from Satan to concoct our own evil thoughts. We can do it all by ourselves.
So stop giving Satan all the credit. He’s not as powerful as his reputation says he is. Remember, “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Our main battle is with our flesh. We live with our flesh, so we have to deal with it 24/7. Satan is not omnipresent, so he has to make his rounds before getting to us again, thus making Satan enemy number two. When you think about it, its kind of sad that Satan tried to be God, and got kicked out of heaven for it. And when he became evil and let himself be humankinds enemy, he still has the second place ribbon.
