Satan is a poo-poo head

I can still remember seeing these words on a t-shirt at a Christian concert more than 15 years ago. And the truth of that statement is more than I communicate in one blog. Satan really is a poo-poo head. I have had one hell (this is not vulgarity, but literal statement of the source of my bad week, keep reading) of a week. My family has battled sicknesses, unknown smells in the house and more. Now I am not a guy who sees Satan behind every door. Sometimes bad stuff happens in a fallen world. So this is howyou can know the poo-poo head is on the attack:

• when you feel discouragement rise out of nowhere
• when you feel like you can't breath from the weight of your troubles
• when anxiety marks your thoughts
• when fear of the future outweighs the hope of tomorrow

We tend to give the Devil too much credit. Keep in mind he is a deciever (2 John 1:7) and a master liar. His main tactics are to so beat you down, you do not remember your strength in Christ (1 John 4:4). If he can convince you all is lost, he has won. Remember too he is not all powerful, all knowing, all seeing. Those things are incommunicable (non-sharing) attributes of God. He is a creature, beautiful (Ezekiel 28), powerful (Isaiah 14) but still just a creature. 'God's dog' as Martin Luther called him. When he starts nipping at your heels, kick him. Put him in his place, outside your house in a fence. Submit yourself to God, his truth and the truth of the situation, resist the Devil, his lies and junk and the Devil WILL flee from you (James 4:7)

Fight on brothers. And PRAY!
