Discipleship Training Course

PHASE 3 – SHARE THE JOURNEY
7. He often causes sickness and disease.
Luke 13:16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of
Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years,
be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”
As Jesus discerned in this woman, that it was a direct effect of
Satan’s hand upon her body. So he often attacks people through
illness and diseases. And so doing keeping many in constant
bondage and defeat.
9. He fights against the spread of the word.
1 Thessalonians 2:17-18 Dear brothers and sisters, after we were
separated from you for a little while, we tried very hard to come
back because of our intense longing to see you again. We
wanted very much to come to you, and I, Paul, tried again and
again, but Satan prevented us.
Satan hates evangelism and discipleship, and he will throw every
obstacle he can in the way of people who are separated to the
work of the Lords ministry.
10. Satan accuses Christians before God.
Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our
brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has
been cast down.
He loves holding up all the evidences that states how we have
failed and fall short. He is a master tittle tale. Satan’s defeat is
certain however his accusations haven’t ceased. The wonderful
thing is that Jesus is interceding for us at the right hand of the
Father. Hallelujah.
These are clear indications on how the enemy works, and we can
sharpen our discernment and act upon his onslaughts.
