Satan is a loser

Satan is a loser; the Bible says so.

My heart is heavy tonight for some members of a church that I visit often. Their youth group and families have been attacked by Satan, and they have been through so much in such a short amount of time. Littered between these attacks are glimpses of salvation, as few have accepted Christ. God's army is gaining strength and numbers, but Satan is definitely doing his best to crush the spirits and hearts of those affected by recent events.

Within the past three years, the church, its youth, and the overall ministry has been moving full steam ahead as warriors of Christ. They are growing in numbers, in spirit, in strength, and in belief. Satan is scared, and understandably so. Wouldn't you be if you were going against the Army of God?

But there is good news, and it is this: Although this battle has to be fought, it comes out in our favor! God has already claimed the victory, and Satan's attacks will prove useless against us. God and his army will always win, no matter the matter, no matter the enemy, no matter the time or place.

So although my heart is heavy for recent events, I can thank God for the outcome of this battle. Satan is and will lose. Praise God.

"Ps 27:3-5 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock."

If you are reading this, take five minutes out of your day to say a prayer to thank the Almighty for all He has done, is doing, and will do for the community of people that I have come to call a second family. Pray for a hedge of protection around the leaders, youth, and family of their church and for Satan's to realize that he will not win and that his efforts are fruitless. Pray for understanding for this community to truly see what is happening in and around them and for strength to stand strong in this war.


"1 Cor 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
