Review Day 5, 30 Days of Christmas
The power of the devil is primarily in deceit, lies, craftiness and accusations.
That's why in 2 Corinthians 10:5, the Bible says our fight is;
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
Notice; we cast down arguments, knowledge and thoughts...
The devil got Adam and Eve to sin by deceit, falsely accusing God and manipulating their thoughts. After they fell, he also began accusing them of their wrong until they started hiding themselves.
So, after manipulating the person to do wrong, the devil then go ahead and accuse the person of that wrong doing till the person feels condemned.
So, all the devil does is lies, manipulation and accusations
The devil will accuse God to you.
The devil will accuse you to God.
The devil will accuse you to others.
The devil will accuse others to you.
And the devil will accuse you to yourself.
So that you feel condemned to make you hide from God.
So, no matter how many animals they killed in the old testament, the accusations of the enemy was still very loud.
But, to us who believes, to overcome the lies and manipulation, hold on to the truth of God's word. And if you fell or have fallen before, know that God has put an end to all accusations of the devil when Jesus made the exchange. The sacrifice of Jesus is an end to all arguments. The requirements of divine justice was met by the highest standard and also surpassed. Hold on to the exchange. There is therefore now no condemnation. In Colossians 2:14-15 KJV Bible puts it to rest thus;
"blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"
Now you can boldly declare and say; "I am the righteousness of God in Christ". You can say; "I am a saint not a sinner". And you can receive everything that comes with right standing with God. Glory to God.
We continue today in day 6. 9pm.
God bless you.
