Satan’s Tricks

Did you make resolutions for new year? What?
 
How are you doing?
 
The beginning is always the hardest.
Why is that?
            • need to set a pattern or routine
            obstacles need to be removed
            discouragements
 
Do you that Satan realizes this too!
 
Whether:
            starting to learn about God
            • you have been a disciple for a while
 
Satan doesn't want you to grow!
 
 
What are Satan's Tricks?
            Let's look at some.
            If we know what Satan’s schemes
             are then it will be harder for him to trick us.
 
Matthew 4:1-11
 
Satan tried his best: Satan
would not have to worry about his disciples.
 
Trick #1 - immediate gratification
 
vs 3 Jesus turn stones into bread
            bread not a buffet
 
How do trick us like that?
            • Sleeping instead of spending time in God's word
            • Anything that is only for our pleasure
 
Trick #2 - Doubt
 
vs 5-6 "If you are the Son of God:"
 
How does this hurt us?
            • Sit and analyze
 
Trick #3 - Fear of losing, fortune or glory
vs 8-9 power and position
 
How do trick us like that?
