SATAN IS DEFEATED

SATAN IS DEFEATED
If you think Satan put Jesus on the Cross, think again! It was the Work Of God! Satan would have stopped it if he had been able, but he was powerless in the face of the plan of God.
"Yet it PLEASED THE LORD TO,--WHEN THOUSHALT MAKE HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN,--AND THE PLEASURE OF THE LORD SHALL PROSPER." Isa 53
The work of Calvary was FINISHED when Jesus bowed His head and gave up the Ghost. He said "It is finished".
Satan's kingdom came crashing down over his head. He was defeated completely, and is now on a tether with very stringent limits to his activities. Huffing, puffing and bluffing is about all he can do.
Some mis-guided souls have written much (whole volumes of fictitious novels) about his supposed activities, and have produced a lot of fear in the hearts of unsuspecting Christians. This pleases satan very much, for he knows that fear and faith do not mix very well.
If we humans want to assist him by drawing attention to him, so much the better. The more attention that is focused on him, the less Faith in God will be demonstrated.
Most of the so-called demonic activity we see in Christian circles is no more than works of unsanctified flesh on parade. A lot of emotional problems are dubbed as satanic activity.
If you suspect anything, give the person some medicine. If it helps them, you can know that it was not demons. They do not respond to medicine.
And BE ASSURED, God is not so weak that He has to share a vessel with a demon spirit. It is either, or. If I have the Holy Ghost, I do not also have a demon.
IF SATAN CAN GET YOU TO FOCUS ON HIM, he can influence your thinking, and KEEP YOU DEFEATED AND AFRAID.
Finally, Brethren, whatsoever-----think on these things.
