Does The Devil Know Who You Are?

Today we know much about the Devil and Demons.

Isaiah 14:12-15, "How art thou fallen from heaven, O

Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou come down

to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For

thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into

heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of

God: I will sit also upon the mount of the

congregation, in the sides of the north: I will

ascend above the height of the clouds; I will be like

the most High. Yet thou shall be brought down to

hell, to the sides of the pit."

Rev. 12:9, "So the great Dragon was cast out, that

serpent of old, called the devil and Satan, who

decieved the whole world, he was cast to the earth,

and his angels were cast out with him."

I Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your

adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion,

seeking who he may devour."

John 8:44, "He was a murderer from the beginning, and

abode not in the truth...for he is a lair, and the

father of lies."

Rev. 20:10, "The devil, who decieved them, was cast

into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast

and the false prophet are, and they will be tormented

day and night forever."

But does the devil know who you are?

Pastors, Preachers, Deacons, Teachers, Moms and Dads!

Does he know you by name? Text Here emphasis v.15

How did Paul get that way? Why did demons know Paul?

Was it because of the stonings, stripes,

imprisonment, shipwreck, snakebites?

Answer: God and Paul had such a relationship that

they were on intimate terms. And because of this

relationship, while the Apostle Paul lived, the devil

had no peace.

4 Steps on how to make the devil nervous.

1. Committed Christians make the devil nervous.

*Committed Christians are those who are sold

out, washed in the blood, filled with the

spirit, and schooled in the word.

2. Praying Christians make the devil nervous.

*Time you spend with the Lord is more effective

than the time you spend for the Lord.

*The devil would rather have you work, for work

can be done in the flesh.

*True prayer can only be done in the spirit.

*The devil doesn’t care how many people talk

Christianity, He cares how many live it on

their knees.

*Read Eph. 6:18-19 here.

3. Forgiving Christians make the devil nervous.

*One of Satan’s best tools is to get Christians

working against each other.

*Col.3:13, "Forbearing one another, and

forgiving one each other, if any man have a

quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave

you, so also do ye."

*Use the Lord’s Prayer here Matt. 6:9-15.

4. United Christians make the devil nervous.

*I Cor.1:10, Now I beseech you, brethren, by

the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all

speak the same thing, and that there be no

divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly

joined together in the same mind and in the

same judgment."
