You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. - 1 John 4:4

There is an invisible war going on around you. You don’t see it, and if you are not careful, you can be deceived by it. The good news is that God promises the Holy Spirit that dwells in you is greater than any demonic attack that would come against you.

Some Christians fear Satan. They think someone can curse them, or cast a spell on them. They fear that demons or Satan are hiding around every corner. They have forgotten this promise. Satan was defeated at the resurrection. The only power he has over you is the power you give him. Because of the Holy Spirit dwelling in you, Satan and his demons have no power over you.

Satan attacks in subtle ways. He whispers a lie in your ear. He tempts you by placing subtle thoughts in your mind. Each of these is designed to lead to sin and deception. You must always be on guard for the subtle attacks of Satan in your life.

Often times, Satan attacks through wrong teaching. Anyone who teaches that Jesus is not God, or teaches that there are many ways to God is spreading demonic teaching. They may sound good, even spiritual, but if they don’t teach that Jesus is the only way God, it’s demonic. Scripture tells us to test every teaching we hear. Just because it sounds spiritual, does not mean it’s from the Lord.

Satan attacks in many different ways. No matter what the attack, the Holy Spirit within you is still more powerful and will overcome him.
