Ten Things About Satan, Ten Things You Should Know About Satan Options

[Phoenix]

They started a new series on Walk In The Word today called Ten Things You Should Know About Satan and more generally about spiritual warfare.

1 Peter 5:8 warns us to be on the alert, because our adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking to devour us. James wants followers of Christ to be aware of the warfare surrounding us and know what the Bible teaches about the enemy of our souls, Satan himself.

There are two places you can listen if you're interested.

On this one the daily series is available. Any previous ones are also free but you have to register, which only takes a minute with an email address. Create a dummy email if you choose, that's what I did.

I also found the previous series called Come Home very edifying.

This is also available through Walk in the Word and also the OnePlace archive.

Here's what that one deals with.

In it's parts-

Has anyone you’ve known wandered away from God? They once loved and followed Christ and now they’re AWOL. What happened? Are they OK? Why haven’t they returned? This compassionate message from James MacDonald takes James 5:19-20 to heart: My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. God longs for His children to return to Him. Go get the wanderer. Go get them and bring them home. A compelling message of hope.

Others may not know it, but deep inside you know you’re not in a good place with God. Maybe you used to be. Maybe you never intentionally left, but today, if you were completely honest, you would say you’re far away from God. But you would like to come back. The problem is you’re afraid of what kind of reception you’d get. Will you be turned away? Will you be harshly criticized? The prospect of it keeps you away even today. If this is your story in any way, join James MacDonald in this up close look at another wanderer—someone who really messed up—and how the Lord lovingly pursued him, gave him new purpose for living, and welcomed him home. Leave fear behind and come home.

Christians don’t generally set out to doubt God. They don’t bring their faith into question without reason. For most of us, life’s pain simply catches us off guard. The reality of hardship trips us up and we get in our own way. Before we know it, we’re far from God and the faith we once held with both hands. But I still want to believe—I’ve just got these questions. Bring your questions directly to the Lord. Doubt can lead to faith because God’s Word and God’s character can stand under the most microscopic scrutiny. If you’re a doubter, come on in. Questions can get put to rest in the company of people who will stir your faith and love you back. If you are a doubter, gather up in your mind the issues that challenge your faith and join James MacDonald in this open discussion about what keeps you far from home. Leave your doubt behind and come home.

I want it and I’m going to have it. It doesn’t matter what it costs me or what it costs you. Think of all the seemingly harmless little indulgences that we like, that we want, that we must have. Those desires don’t always start bad but allowed to take their course, they spiral to their destructive end. Desires turn to addictions and before we realize it, we’re consumed with whatever sensual pursuit we think will please us—food, alcohol, sex, entertainment, caffeine, control, whatever we want, as much as we want, no matter what. If God’s Spirit is shaking you awake in the trap that you’ve slid into, wake up! Hear the life-giving message from James MacDonald to every sensual wanderer: You can come back. If your heart beats fast at the thought of freedom from this prison, it’s not too late. Turn around right now. Leave your sensual pursuits behind and come home.

Does it make sense to you? Who gets up and walks away from their home, their family, and everything that’s familiar? Who puts everyone who protects and provides for them in the rear view mirror? A prodigal does. Don’t try to figure it out—it doesn’t make sense. Prodigals are not just young people; they can be any age. A prodigal may not leave their parents—they could leave their spouse or their extended family. A prodigal can physically take off or they can just emotionally check out. Hardly a family around escapes the heartbreak of loving a prodigal. If you’re waiting for a prodigal, take heart. You’re not alone and your struggle is not unique. Pastor James MacDonald will pour encouragement in you to keep praying. If you are a prodigal—what’s it gonna take for you to come to the end of yourself? Turn your stubborn heart back to God and come home. Someone is waiting for you.

Funny, but my initial answer to this question wasn't a prodigal, but rather an apostle.

I'm fairly certain he gives Peter a few mentions here and there in this one.

That series really hit home for me. Most times I've been the prodigal.
