the churches of Christ Salute You   ​Romans 16:16

SEEING IS BELIEVING?

When it comes to camouflage who does it better than Satan? With deception, lies, half-truths, smoke and mirrors, cunning and stealth, the devil is a consummate magician and illusionist. Be it  in the shadows, blending in, camouflaging against life’s backdrops or prowling about like a roaring lion ready to devour souls, you're never out of the woods as he stalks mankind.

  Satan-incites and moves-the evil in any moment and the good in their weak moments

Deception

"Sergius Paulus... the proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, "'You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?'" Acts 13:7-11

SCRIPTORIALS

"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever". Revelation 20:10

ALL ABOUT  YOU!

"If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven — if there was anything to forgive — I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes". 2 Corinthians 2:10-11

"But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short" (Revelation12:12).

"Then the dragon was enraged at the woman (the church) and went  off to make war against the rest of her offspring — those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus" (Revelation 12:17).

"The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus". John 13:2 

THE LORD'S DAY

"He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap". 1 Timothy 3:6-7 

It’s not always what you see that’s troubling – it’s what you don’t see!

  SATAN INTIMIDATES WITH THE FEAR OF DEATH.  LOOK AROUND THE WORLD AND SEE HOW MANKIND FIGHTS DEATH WITH MORE DEATH

YOUR PLACE TOO!

AT  YOUR SERVICE

"And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down — that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him". Revelation 12:7-9

the    Way     the  Truth    the    Life     JOHN 14:6

You Can Know Who’s Who:   "Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God..."

1 John 3:7-10

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

                                                                      2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

"Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel... The king's word, however, overruled Joab and the army commanders; so they left the presence of the king to enroll the fighting men of Israel… And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel."  1 Chronicles 21:1, 4, 7

ABOUT US!

GOOD NEWS!

Satan is telling us today that homosexuality and gay lifestyle is okay by embedding it within freedom of rights charters and legislation and now the education system from very early years. Is that what God says?                   1 Corinthians 6:10-11; Romans 1:24-32. Call it what you will but sin is sin.

"If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire". Revelations 20:15

"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works".                      2 Corinthians 11:13-15 

"In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold".                   Ephesians 4:26-28

"Submit yourselves then to god. Resist the devil and he will flee from you".  James 4:7

But Jesus frees all who turn to Him from that fear. “Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death — that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death”            

(Hebrews 2:14-15). 

"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:13-14).

Welcome...to the only church that Jesus built!

Matthew 16:18-19

  THE DEVIL SCHEMES AND SETS TRAPS. THANKS TO THE BIBLE WE CAN SEE AND AVOID THEM.  (EPHESIANS 6:10-18)

The devil has extensive influence AND CAN BE SCARY BUT... "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one" (1 Peter 5:8-9). "We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true — even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life" (1 John 5:18-20).
