0749. Satan's Strategies Against the Church

Satan’s Strategies Against the Church

Satan’s strategies have ever been centered against God. We have in a previous study observed satan’s tactics against Israel, but he was against Israel because Israel was a chosen people unto the Lord. In her, God had tied up all His covenant blessings for the whole world. Unto her were committed the oracles of God; to her pertained the "adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises; * * and of whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ came." No marvel then, that satan was antagonistic to Israel.

When Israel was sidetracked for the time, and God, in Christ, called the Church to fill in the time of Israel’s rejection, God committed unto the churches both the Word and the work of reconciliation. The Church is a body of believers set for the defense of the Gospel. The Church is sent forth to preach the Gospel unto earth’s remotest bounds. Her commission includes the turning of the people from darkness unto light, and from the power of satan unto God.

None need to be surprised therefore to find satan setting himself against the Body of. Christ.

It is the purpose of this study to discover satan’s fourfold strategy against the Church; and to discover the measure of success that he has and will achieve.
