Understanding Satan's devices

There is much misunderstanding relating to the mechanisms that Satan and those that follow him use to deceive the world.
This is to be expected since Satan gains the whole world in the end IF he can deceive all of mankind to follow him and listen to and obey his lies.
Even though Satan is currently in the Pit for a thousand years as indicated in an earlier article, his forces, the messengers {angels}, demons and humans (including Satanists, witches, etc) have pulled out all the stops to win victory on earth before Satan is released.
If they succeed, they will rule on earth for eternity and will NOT burn in the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8) because there will NOT be any human being with the sanctification, authority and anointing to declare the earth ready to receive king Yahooshua and therefore he will NOT return.
Unless you are aware that Yahooshua may not return and that his return is dependent on the actions of anointed followers of Yah, you will live life seriously inappropriately relative to understanding that YOU can make a difference?
It is therefore vital to understand how the forces of darkness operate. The main issues are set out below:
1. The battle is spiritual but uses human beings as the primary instrument
It is vital to understand that the entire battle is between the fallen messengers {angels} and demons who follow Satan and the messengers of Yah and Yah through His Spirit.
Both groups operate through human beings because those are the terms of engagement prescribed by Yah.
2. The forces of darkness seek to usurp the authority of Yah in man and make Satan mighty one {god} and king on earth forever
The goal of the forces of darkness is to make Satan king on earth at the end of the age by ensuring that there is not a single human being on the planet who is serving Yah with sufficient anointing and authority to declare the end of the age and declare that the earth is ready for the return of king Yahooshua.
This specific point is a classic case of what is being spoken about here.
Most believers believe that "Jesus is coming soon" to sort out the mess and that Jesus will cast Satan into the Pit.
This is a lie, human beings have to set themselves apart {sanctify} themselves, get rid of their error and prepare the earth for the return of the king – he is WAITING for his enemies to be made his footstool and it is the responsibility of human beings to make them Yahooshua's footstool.
3. The primary device that is used is to get human beings to break any or ALL of the Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments constitute the fundamental basis of judgment.
Where you have broken any of these commandments and NOT repented at the end of your life you WILL spend part or all of eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8).
Yahooshua died in order that there might be grace and a way out of our sin and a way for repentance, but even this has been corrupted by Satan as I have discussed in previous articles.
We must constantly examine ourselves and ask Yah to judge us in order that we may avoid the lake of fire.
Satan's forces are constantly seeking to get us to break the Ten Commandments because, as long as we are breaking any one of the Commandments we are at some level in submission to Satan and our authority to destroy the kingdom of darkness is diminished and our vulnerability to attack is increased.
In order for us to keep the Ten Commandments we must have the truths that are necessary to do this.
For example, if you are deceived about Yahooshua being Yah and are worshipping Yahooshua you are breaking the first commandment which says that you shall not have any mighty-ones {gods} before Yah and accordingly you do not have authority to take certain key actions which are required in order to restore the Kingdom of Yah on earth.
4. The primary delivery mechanism is demons which counterfeit the set-apart {Holy} Spirit of Yah and lead and seduce human beings into error
The primary mechanism for the delivery of error is demons.
Messengers {angels} are also speaking to us but there are billions of demons, far more than there are messengers, and every human being on earth today is at some level infested with demons.
In order to get rid of all demons we must go through a lengthy process of deliverance, constantly examine our beliefs and our behaviour, look for evidence of demons and take the necessary actions.
As long as you are breaking any of the commandments you WILL be infested with the demons that gain the right to attach themselves to those who break the commandments you are breaking.
So, if you worship Jesus in these days you will have one or more demons that answer to the name of Jesus and those demons may give you "feel good experiences" in order to get you to believe that you are worshipping according to the will of the Almighty. The same applies to the false names, etc.
5. They dilute truth with only sufficient error to lock humans into sin and seek to infiltrate every group of humans
It is important to realize that the forces of darkness ONLY require humans to have enough error for the purposes of the forces of darkness to be achieved – that humans lack the authority to effectively oppose the forces of darkness and in particular to ensure that Yahooshua returns.
So, a person can have great amounts of truth but just enough error to send them to the lake of fire and prevent them having the authority necessary to effectively resist the forces of darkness.
Thus, the Christian church has great amounts of truth but it is diluted by critical error – the wrong names – God, the LORD, Jesus, Christ; worshipping Jesus / Yahooshua; worshipping the book {bible}, enforced monogamy, etc.
Each one of these sins is sending millions to hell and yet the essential message of the Christian church regarding Yahooshua is correct and there is huge TRUTH in the Christian church.
Many Christians have relationships with Yah, some have very close relationships with Yah BUT they are unable to hear Him about their critical errors because they are in bondage to the demons that are blocking their hearing on these issues.
That suits Satan and his forces well.
6. They may violently oppose error in order to entrench it
The forces of darkness may violently oppose error in order to entrench it.
So, through pride, self-righteousness and other demonic manifestations a person may aggressively oppose error in such a way that the person who is in error is unable to see their error because all they can see is the aggression and un-Yah-like {ungodly} behaviour of the person criticising them.
7. May mask their activities by accusing others of what they are doing
Demons frequently mask their activities by accusing others of doing what they are doing. The person so attacked is then so busy defending themselves and frequently so offended and hurt by the unjust accusations that they do not see that this is exactly what is being done to them.
When you encounter this type of opposition back off, shut up and leave it to Yah. Anything you say will increase the violence of the opposition and more deeply entrench the false beliefs, etc in the person attacking you.
8. Often operate through people who appear to be "good" e.g. most of the Christian church
As noted above, demons operate most directly in most of our lives through people we think of as being good.
Since we all have demons, they are operating through every one of us at some level UNLESS we are being particularly vigilant.
Good by our standards is NOT the issue, it is obedience to and submission to Yah that is the benchmark for determining "good" and ONLY YAH can be the judge of this.
9. If you are not battling at some level or have not emerged victorious from a battle recently the chances are that you are in agreement with the forces of darkness through error you are not aware of
If you are just coasting along and all things are going smoothly and there are no waves and no opposition and you are not experiencing some form of attack or focus from the enemy the chances are that you are IN THEIR CAMP, you just cannot see it.
And even if you ARE fighting the battle at some significant level that STILL does not guarantee that you are not at some level serving them.
Intense prayer, fasting, seeking Yah, asking Him to show you the level of your present deception and how to correct it, asking Him to judge you severely and correct you harshly – both prayed on a regular basis, and then sensitive response to His leading are minimum requirements to get free of these things.
Conclusion
I hope that the above gives you more insight into the battle we are facing and gives a few thoughts as to how you might respond!
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
