HOW DOES DEVIL ATTACKS US

HOW DOES DEVIL ATTACKS US

Probably, using the same three kind of temptations he used against Jesus in Mathew 4 and Luke 4, always using the weakness of our flesh and the offerings of the world:

1- Pleasures: First Temptation: "tell these stones to become Bread." (Mt.4:3)...

Jesus was hungry after 40 days of fasting!. The devil is going to tempt us using our honest needs of bread and sex and happiness, he is going to try to convert us into gluttons, alcoholics, drug-addicts, smokers, homosexuals, fornicators, adulterers, compulsion to pornography...and bring into our bodies all kind of sicknesses and diseases...

2- Pride: specially religious pride: The Second Temptation to Jesus was of pride: "Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down.

Since Jesus fought back with a Bible quotation, now Satan tempted Jesus with a Bible quotation, Psalm 91. The devil is going to attack us using our natural pride and vanity, and knowledge, he is going to try to involve us in all kind or errors and idols and heresies (all heresies came from men using the Bible, thinking they knew about the Bible more than even the actual Church of Christ)... and he is going to try to create in us the compulsions of lies, stealing, anger, hate, ...

3- Power: specially religious power: The Third Temptation to Jesus was of power, "I will give you all the world... if you will bow down and worship me." (Mt.4:9) The devil is going to try to get us involved in the power and knowledge of the Occult: Horoscope, divination, witches, magic, spiritism... avarice, riches, political power, social power...
