Satan Sows Lies!

 

"And the God of peace will crush

 Satan under your feet shortly."

Romans 16:20

 

The apostle Paul ended his letter to the Romans by 

warning them against false teachers. He wrote, “Now

 I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions 

and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, 

and avoid them” (Romans 16:17). He accused deceivers 

using smooth speech and flattering words, but, he said, 

“Be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil” 

(verse 19). Then he assured them the God of peace 

would shortly crush Satan under their feet.

 

Paul must have been thinking of the first prophecy in 

the Bible about the coming Messiah when we’re told

 Christ will bruise the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15).

 

The devil is sowing his lies everywhere, and false teachers 

show up in classrooms, videos, books, websites, slogans, 

cable channels, and political campaigns. Sometimes they 

even climb into the pulpit. But Satan’s lies cannot deceive 

those who are growing in the knowledge of God, and his

 attacks can’t destroy those kept by the power of God.

 

There is nothing Satan can throw at you that 

you cannot overcome, nor any stronghold he 

can build that Jesus can’t overthrow.

 

"You don’t have to be the victim because 

you can choose to live in the victory that 

God promises you as an over comer."
