We know the devil has a plan.
daIly to destroy man.
He is very active.
He is very persistent.
He is very thoughtful
He invests in the future
as well as the present.
He has a team working
together against the Lord
and those who love Jesus.
The devil is real,
if you ever doubted in the past,
when you look at the condition
the world is in, right now,
I bet your doubts have subsided.
what, exactly, does the devil want?
Let me share a few things
that he is interested in doing in your life
The devil wants you distracted.
Your distracted Doesn't matter
as long as you aren't focused on
The Living God first.
He will even distract you with good things
at first.
He is fine with good things as long as
they aren't as good as the things
you should be focused on.
He doesn't mind a slow erosion of your focus.
The political season, the news cycle,
a never ending supply of streaming
entertainment, kids sports,
the pursuit of a degree...
whatever it takes to consume enough
of your time to keep you from praying,
to keep you from worshipping,
to keep you away from your Bible.
The devil wants to distract you from your Lord.
The devil wants your family.
Not only does he want families destroyed,
but he wants to stop them before
they even start.
He wants to prevent marriage
by encouraging living together
degrading marriage to,
"just a piece of paper."
He wants children aborted
before they are born.
He wants us to view children
as a burden instead of a blessing
(Psalm 127:3).
The devil has a plan to truly destroy man,
The apple of God's eye. I tell you no lie.
