Accuser of the Brethren

When it comes to branding and packaging, he is world class but he always copies from God because everything he does is a counterfeit of the original. Bible says "He roars like a lion"- 1 Peter 5:8, but He is not even a lion because the only Lion is that of the tribe of Judah -Jesus Christ.

Gen 3:1 "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made....". He is still the cunning serpent we know; he is a liar and still sly to the core.
Here is the trick;  he attacks your mind (that's the battlefield, where everything is conceived ) and if you don't defeat him there he goes straight to your heart and that's where everything would be birthed from.
When he wants you to do something for him (for him because God is against it)  he makes you think "it's not a big deal ", "you are human and you are fallible", "God would understand", " you just want to know" "we learn from our mistakes", "that's the only option" - he is a smooth talker.
After you do whatever it is he wants,  you become his tool. He would keep giving you assignments and your "just this one time" will become " just this last time" and then finally "I can't even stop". The moment you realize you need to stop and you try to take an inch away from him, he would keep enticing you and if you manage to break free (which only Jesus can gets you out) and you start /continue to live for the Lord then he starts accusing you. "You just did this evil thing some weeks ago, God won't take you back" "who are you deceiving holding the microphone singing and preaching?" "don't tell me you are reading your Bible and praying or going to church, its reserved for the children of God only". Remember this, he is the father of all lies; He would keep accusing you and cripple you with guilt so that it would be impossible to move out of the web and live for God.
Many people after trying with their own efforts and don't succeed give up and condemn themselves believing that there's no way God loves them and they are meant for hell. They would allow the devil convince them that they wouldn't make it to heaven anyway so why don't they just continue living their lives in sin. He would keep blackmailing you and reminding you that you were his best employee of the year for some consecutive number of years.
Rev 12:10- "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."
Well according to Revelation 12:10 he doesn't just accuse us but He has championed his course by going to God to accuse us to Him; giving Him reasons why we don't deserve His love and blessings and why our shadow shouldn't even make it to heaven, but here is the real joke; God said; "come boldly before the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace in times of your needs" - Hebrews 4:16. How can the devil succeed with our father whose love is unconditional and unfailing?; he is not just trying his luck but he is very calculative about it. Some people become astonished that the same person who once urged them on to smoke, fornicate, kill,etc is the same person whispering to them that they are doomed for life. When you check his resumé he has been doing it before we even came to being and he is still in that business. He is very consistent and that's why he succeeded more often than not; this is a huge tip to become successful at something- consistency.

                    God has His arms widely opened to receive everyone. Don't fall for the schemes of the enemy. He would keep you under his arm and keep using you as his tool and dump you after there's nothing left of you, but there's still hope because Bible said they that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved- Romans 10:11. Who said you can't come back to God when you go against His word? If that's the case who would make it into the heavenly kingdom He is preparing for us?. I wouldn't even be here writing this post you are reading. Don't underestimate the schemes of the devil, but at the same time don't ever forget our God of Mercy. His mercies are abundant and they are new every morning, great is His faithfulness. Call upon His name and He shall answer and do great things in your life. Let Him know how sorry you are and how ready you are to live for Him. Take Him back as your Lord and personal Saviour and this time let Him really be Lord; let Him sit in the throne of your heart and steer the affairs of your life.
Always know that the battle is fought and won in the mind so if you don't win it there it comes straight to the heart. When it's in the heart, it would only birth what it was fed with, that's why we are being admonished to guard our heart with all diligence, because out of it springs out the issues of life- Proverbs 4:23.

Anytime the devil tries to put certain thoughts in your mind resist him and he would flee-. If he tries to remind you of your past, rebuke Him with all boldness that Christ had paid the debt in full so you do not owe him. Let Him know that he would be cast down according to Revelation 12:10.Again remind him that you are a new creation in Christ Jesus and therefore your past is gone with the wind. You are no longer that thief,murderer,what ever you were doing - you are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; 1 Peter 2:9

We are overcomers because our God has won the victory for us. Don't let the devil talk you into depression; talk back to him✋
