Answer to Satan's Terror

ANSWER TO TERROR

GOD IS A SHELTER, A REFUGE WHEN WE ARE AFRAID

FOURTH OF FOUR PART STUDY

I. Terror comes from fear and fear comes from Satan

• 1 John 4:17-18 – “And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of Judgment, but we can face him with confidence because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of judgment, and this shows that his love has not been perfected in us.”
• If we are afraid of the future, eternity, or God’s judgment, we can remind ourselves of God’s love. We know that he loves us perfectly (Romans 8:38, 39). We can resolve our fears first by focusing on his immeasurable love for us, and then by allowing him to others through us. His love will quiet your fears and give you confidence.
• Psalm 91:5, 14 – “Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor fear the dangers of the day… The Lord says, ‘I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.”
• God is a shelter, a refuge when we are afraid. We should put all of our trust in God trading all our fears for faith in him, no matter how intense our fears. In order to do this we must live and rest with him (Psalm 91:1) entrusting ourselves to his protection and pledging our daily devotion to him, we will be kept safe.

II. Why does Satan terrorize us?

• For the Word’s sake; Mark 4:17 – “But like young plants in such soil, their roots don’t go very deep. At first they get along fine, but they wilt as soon as they have problems or are persecuted because they believe the word.”
• We need to let our roots grow deep into the soil, some are open to God about our future, but Satan prevents us from opening the door and letting Him in completely, some respond like good soil to His demand to worship but respond like rocky soil when He speaks to us. Try to be like good soil in every area of life at all times. He will orchestrate and guide all our moves if we let Him.
• To perturb the Body of Christ to prevent us from;
• From receiving revelations of prosperity see Mark 10:30
• From uniting one in service see Philippians 1:28, 2:1-2

III. We can prosper in the midst of Satan’s terror – We must!

• In unity we hold the Word in the midst of corruption Philippians 2:15-16
• Some produced one hundredfold in the midst of all that Satan was doing in Mark 4:20, all the planting, growing, receiving, etc. being done while Satan was trying to steal the Word.

Heavenly Father, You know the terror that we encounter each day. Father the Scriptures promise that we will not be terrorized beyond what we can bear. I ask for your strength that we can stand up under Satan’s terror whenever we encounter it. The Scriptures also tell us that you will provide a way to fight off that terror. Lord, give us the wisdom to ward off, bind and walk away from Satan when he terrorizes us, and the clarity to see the way out that you have provided. Thank you, Lord for you are our faithful deliverer and that we can count on your help in our time of need. In Jesus’ Holy Name I pray. Amen
