Dear friends, Satan, that ancient serpent, is the accuser of God’s children. He delights in highlighting our flaws, magnifying our sins, and whispering words of condemnation. This cunning enemy knows our weak spots and is relentless in his attacks.
Do not listen to that voice of accusation! It seeks only to weigh you down with guilt and shame. You have an advocate in Christ, who bore your sins and ransomed you with his blood. The price has been paid. You stand forgiven before God.
Though Satan accuses, Jesus intercedes. When the enemy reminds you of your past, remember God’s mercy is new every morning. Do not accept Satan’s lies about who you are. You are a beloved child of God – created in his image, known by name, redeemed by your Savior.
Resist the devil’s whispers through prayer and God’s Word. Arm yourself with truth and righteousness. You have been given authority over every evil power. Satan is already defeated – stand firm in the victory of Christ.
Remember you fight from a place of acceptance and love. Let no condemnation remain. Look to Jesus, speak truth to the lies, renew your mind – and keep your eyes fixed on the promises of God.
Dear friends, now let’s look to the Bible for wisdom and encouragement when Satan accuses us. God’s Word reminds us of our identity in Christ.
