061216 | The Accuser | Allen Hickman

Nobody likes to be accused of something they didn’t do.  Nor, do they like to be reminded of their past failures.  If you want to tear somebody down and keep them under your thumb accusing them on a regular basis will help you do that.

That’s exactly what our enemy, Satan does to us.  The Bible tells us Satan is the “accuser of the brethren”.  His goals of accusing believers and reminding them of their past is to separate us from God, the truth, our relationships and from the place where we know we should be.  The Accuser wins when we stop and listen to his accusations and lies.  When we lose the ability to discern godly truth from human facts the enemy wins.  And when we actually speak out loud the accusations and lies he spreads he scores a victory.

You might ask, “what do I do in the face of his accusations?”  First, agree with him quickly when you know he is right.  “Yes, I once was like that, but God...”  When you do, it takes the bite out of his accusation.  He has no power.   Take your thoughts captive and replace them with the truth of God’s Word and what He says about you.  Then say out loud the promises and truths that God says about you.  Do this on a daily basis and you will thwart the accusations of the enemy.   Jesus has come to make intercession.  Satan lives to make accusations!
