We are made able to glorify God in obedience formed from faith in His Word-> satan's primary approach is perverting that communication so we do not glorify... this robbery by theft and lie 'IS' the eternal flame of God's wrath prepared for Him in the lake of fire. Let us reestablish our purpose, our sole purpose, to glorify the only perfect Being of eternity! The Lord Jesus Christ and His Father by The Holy Spirit within us...

I think this scripture explains why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do it in a thousand ways, doubt, putting something in front of them that seems good but is opposed to God's word. However, In my walk with the Lord I have learned that Satan only has as much power as you allow him to have. The Bible says resist the devil and he will flee from you. Jesus in the wilderness used scripture to make him run. I believe the children of God need to do the same. Demons, devils and Satan himself shakes at the name of Jesus and His word. Use it and use it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is talking about Christians also. If it wasn't possible for him to I don't think we would have been warned. He is seeking those he is able to devour. I think all the comments are more pieces to the puzzle. Remember the temptation of Christ in Matthew 4 and how Christ resisted was by the Word of God. One of the other gospels says that Satan waited for a more opportune time after he had finished tempting Him. It was when Jesus was at the end of His 40 day fast when He was hungry and weak that Satan came. Satan don't fight fair. Also it says Satan physically placed Jesus on the temple mount. I believe James is again key as it was presented by Firestorm above. When we walk in disobedience we are not walking in God's authority as we have become a rebel to His authority. I think the armor also and the instructions that go with Ephesians 6 are vital which includes watching and praying. We are warned to be sober and vigilant. Love is a powerful defense. Remember the breastplate is not of faith only but love. The scripture says "when we fast". I believe fasting is something that we should do on a regular basis. Jesus said He has been given all authority but the nature of a thief and murderer is not that they have authority to steal, kill, and destroy but that they do so regardless. If we don't stand against him and fight in the power of the Holy Spirit, we can be stole from, killed, and destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
