Lucifer: The Fall of the Morning Star, Day 3 – The Current Influence and Tactics of Satan

Awakened to Deliver – Lucifer: The Fall of the Morning Star, Day 3 – The Current Influence and Tactics of SatanKey Verse: John 8:44 — “You are of your father the devil… he was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him… he is a liar and the father of lies.”Episode Highlights• Satan’s nature is deception itself—he doesn’t just tell lies; he is a lie. His power depends on what people believe.• 2 Corinthians 11:14 — He disguises himself as an angel of light; his greatest weapon is subtle deception, not open darkness.• He corrupts what God creates, hides rebellion inside religion, and distorts truth through half-truths.• The serpent’s first tactic in Genesis 3 still works today: “Has God really said?” Doubt leads to disobedience.• Ephesians 2:2 — He manipulates the “course of this world,” influencing systems, culture, and minds.• The mind is the battlefield; truth is the weapon (2 Cor. 10:4-5). Lies build strongholds—truth tears them down.• Revelation 12:10 — He is “the accuser of the brethren.” He condemns what the blood of Jesus has already cleansed (Rom. 8:1).• Fear is another tactic: 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that fear is a spirit, not a feeling. Perfect love drives it out.• Temptation works through desire (James 1:14-15), but submission to God gives authority to resist (James 4:7).• Ephesians 6:11-13 — We stand firm by putting on the full armor of God: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word.• Satan’s schemes are predictable—he lies, tempts, accuses, divides, and distracts—but every tactic collapses under the truth of Christ.• Luke 10:19 — Believers carry real authority in Jesus’ name: to tread on the enemy and overcome his power.• Revelation 12:12 — His rage is proof of his defeat; his time is short.• We don’t fight for victory but from victory. The same power that raised Jesus lives in us.Scripture ReferencesJohn 8:44 | 2 Corinthians 11:14 | Genesis 3:1-5 | 1 John 2:15 | Ephesians 2:2 | 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 | Revelation 12:10, 12 | Romans 8:1 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | James 1:14-15 | James 4:7 | Ephesians 6:11-13 | Luke 10:19Stay ConnectedFind all Jeff’s links, resources, and ways to support the ministry here:👉 Awakened Bible Ministries LinktreeSupport This MinistryAwakened to Deliver is listener-supported!
