You Can Fight Satan and Win!

"Take  your stand against [Satan[, firm in the faith." -1 PETER

SATAN is fighting against the anointed ones who are still on earth and   the "other sheep." (John 10:16)   In the short time that he has left, the Devil wants to destroy the faith of as many of Jehovah's servants as he can.  (Read Revelation 12:9, 12) But we can win the fight against Satan. The Bible says:  "Oppose the Devil, and he will flee from you." -James 4:7. 

Many laugh at the idea that Satan even exists.  To them, Satan and the demons are characters found only in books, horror movies, and video games. Such people feel that if you are intelligent, you would not believe  that wicked spirits exist. Does it bother Satan that people do not believe that he and his demons are real! No.  It is easier for Satan to trick those  who doubt that he exists (2 Corinthians 4:4) Satan actually promotes ideas like this so that he can mislead people.

As Jehovah's servants, we are not misled.  We know that the Devil is a real person. How do we know this?  The Bible tells us that Satan spoke to Eve through a serpent.   (Genesis 3:1-5)  He spoke to Jehovah, questioning Job's motives.  (Job 1:9-12)   Satan tried to tempt Jesus.  (Matthew 4:1-10) And after Jesus became King in 1914, Satan began "to wage war" with the anointed still on  earth.  (Revelation 12:17) This war continues as the Devil tries to destroy the faith of the anointed and the other sheep. To win this battle, we must fight against Satan and keep our faith strong. This article discusses three way to do so.
