We all pray and want God to fulfill His plan for our lives, but yet our enemy Satan has a plan for our lives also. John 10:10 tells us "For the thief, (Satan) cometh not but for to steal, kill and destroy.." Satan's plan for Christians and the church is two-fold:
1. Satan Tells Christians That Sin Has No Consequences
Sin does have a price and Galatians 6:6-"Be not decieved, God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap." Our actions have consequences and when we sin against God we will have a price to pay. Satan's great lie is that we can live anyway we want to live and that God will still love us and overlook our sins. This just simply isn't true.
2. Satan Also Tells Us That We Don't Need To Live Holy or Righteous
Paul tells us in Romans 12:2-"And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds. That ye may be able to prove what is that good and perfect and acceptable will of God." We are not of this world, since we have been born-again by the Holy Spirit, we are filled with the spirit and led by the spirit. John tells us to not love the world or conform our life to the world. Satan tells us we can be like the world and the world will accept us, yet we are not to conform to the world and the works of darkness.
The Bible tells us to give no place to the devil and don't give ear to his lies...serve God faithfully and resist the devil and he will flee from you.
