<strong>Growth</strong> 2<br />

<strong>Lesson</strong> Fourteen<br />

<strong>Spiritual</strong> <strong>Growth</strong> 2<strong>Spiritual</strong><br />

sPiriTuAL wArFAre iv<br />

We have studied much concerning Satan and his kingdom<br />

in the last three lessons. In this lesson, we will study how to<br />

defeat him, and the demon spirits under his authority.<br />

1. Don’t overestimate Satan’s power. Test yourself. Write<br />

the opposite of the following words:<br />

a. darkness<br />

b. night<br />

c. black<br />

d. Satan<br />

The answers are: light, day, white — but, surprise! The<br />

opposite of Satan is not God or Jesus, but Michael or<br />

Gabriel. In our wrong thinking we have placed Satan almost<br />

equal to God, but this is not true. Satan is a fallen chief<br />

angel. He has the same rank as Michael and Gabriel. In fact,<br />

Michael and his angels fought and defeated Satan and his<br />

angels (Revelation 12:7-9). Don’t be overawed by Satan’s<br />

power. It can never be compared to the power of God.<br />

2. Don’t be afraid of Satan.<br />

a. Notice these verses of Scripture:<br />

To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye<br />

compare unto him?<br />

— isaiah 40:18<br />

To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare<br />

me, that we may be like?<br />

— isaiah 46:5<br />
