Do you know our enemy?
What does evil look like?
Ephesians 6: 12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
This tells us where the war is fought and who the enemy is. However, more scripture gives us an idea of just what these enemies really look like.
Less of an opposite, more of a counterfeit
-Try to look as close to Christ as possible (Impossible Christian=no meat)
2 Corinthians 11: 13-15
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
-Last days is about DECEPTION
How do you fight that?
-Know the word (Jesus v Satan in Mt. 4)
When confronted by Satan in Matthew 4, three times Jesus’ response begins with “IT IS WRITTEN"
-Test every spirit
-SOUND DOCTRINE
