How Can Satan Harm Christians?

Ask Pastor John
Episode: 1869

[Pslamist]

"Let the fires of suffering purify and strengthen your faith, not destroy it."

[jonathanwick]

Without Gods promises and his leash around Satans neck we would simply be doomed at the devils hands. He is literally one of the most (if not the second most) powerful and intelligent being in existence. We should be very sober indeed and rely on Christ only to resist him. Glory to God for not leaving us defenseless without his word and spirit! Our flesh has no chance against these kinds of ancient powers predating even the earth, possibly even the universe.

My marriage was destroyed by my husband's infidelity. I have tried for 3 1/2 years to find out all the truth, working like a P.I. in my own life. What I've turned up has been just too painful and my hopelessness at my husband's attitude has caused me to seek a divorce from him today. Please pray God my life, my health, Mt future single life.

One thing about YouTube that is amazing is that so many questions I never had access to are now available to me with answers

This hits heavy for me, as I’m currently going through a lot right now, and feel that God doesn’t care about me.

This video was very timely and explains just about everything that happened at my work and even with my family in the past two weeks. Trying to ignore it, people at my work turning against me, and an unfair game that makes me feel helpless. I've been sober minded in the past two weeks but I'm been trying to listen to MercyMe's new album that better days ARE coming. I do want to know that other Christians feel the same attacks at their work and even on TV in their own personal lives. I don't want to feel like the only one feeling persecution because I don't want to be conceited. I'm thankful John Piper is strong in the Word and that I've been following this channel.

I pray that Jesus be your firm foundation he is rock through the ages🙌

[UniversalSkys]

Thankyou I have been struggling to putting the Lord back to my heart as my loving God because I fell to deciet and trials with an unsober mind.

[Andimacht]

Psalm 91 shows that we are protected by God, but sometimes we leave his protection because we are rebellious or selfish. That ist when the devil attacks very efficient!

[Michael_Morehead]

Lord, every day and in many ways, I, too, see idolatry around me in this land. People put money and power and fame and position far above godliness and faithfulness to You. I have even done the same. Forgive me. Forgive the people of this land. And please bring us back to You. Remind us of Your greatness and Your power and Your love for us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen Shalom.

I've had stomach issues for a few months now including IBS which is causing me serious anxiety and stress.
I've been focusing on resisting Satan diligently through these sufferings, reminding myself to trust in God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I'm still struggling but I'm beginning to get past these stomach issues and I think God for his healing and patiently wait for the conclusion of these current troubles.

Saints are buffeted but not battered
Greater is he in you!

[mariogagliardi]

Psalm 103.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will!
Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
