In yesterday's sermon, Pastor Sam continued the sermon series on The Lord's Prayer. We turned our attention to “Part Two” of the petition “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” (see Matthew 6:13).
As we learned on Sunday, the Bible clearly indicates that our appeal for deliverance is not a plea to be delivered from a general philosophy or abstract notion of evil, but from a specific entity. It is the devil himself, satan, the accuser. And our only hope of deliverance is to, each day, seek God's intervening power.
This week in our blogs we will consider the ways in which the devil deceives the people of God. Why? Because his primary modus operandi is deception, and if we have an understanding of his tactics then we will have a clearer platform from which we can pray specifically and intentionally.
Remember, friends, we are in a fight. Let's get battle-ready.
So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
