Christ defeated Satan: It was finished

"Thanks be to God which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Corinthians 15:57). When God is pleased to reveal His Son to us, we learn that Victory is not a thing, but a Person: Jesus Christ. Victory over Satan is not future tense and far away, but Ever Present and Now, because Victory is Christ, and He lives within true believers. The devil does not call the shots on victory. Christ does. Unfortunately, since many Christians have more faith, assurance and reverence for the devil than they do for the Lord Jesus, it is easy to see why so many are defeated. George Cancilla

"When I consider this story in light of the way churches that were once solid, biblically-sound bastions of truth have gone into doctrinal and moral free fall, I can now understand what has been happening."
I'm confused, I have never heard of anything like this.
Are you trying to suggest that the reason some pastors have fallen from grace is because satanist have been praying for their downfall? What is your supporting scripture for such a statement? You referenced scripture stating that Satan indeed is out to accuse, scheme, and entangle Christians, but nothing connecting it to his praying followers.
The truth is, satanist can pray all they want, it will have no effect.
The only reason any Christian falls is because they have relaxed, and ceased from waring against their own flesh and against their own sin. Satan and satanist can do nothing to or with the resistant Christian who submits and draws near to almighty God. James 4:7-8.

- What experience to you have?

What you say sounds very informative... but you are very sadly nieve? My experience is that the Churches of America are so very weak and uninformed as to the "wiles" of the enemy. Most churches don't even want to speak about the "Actual WAR" going on in the spirit realm. They might quote the verse in Ephesians but thats it. They really know so little about it. They can't recognize it. They don't want to loose their tax exemption by even talking about the political WAR...let alone the spiritual WAR. It's really all the same. Most churchs don't even know how to equip anyone for spiritual warfare. They have no spiritual clue. They just don't want to know. Have you ever participated in a spiritual deliverance? I have. Probably hundreds... If you could hear what the demons say I believe you would have a very different outlook on the world we live in. If you could only hear what the few people say that have escaped Satanism... at first you probably wouldn't believe what they are saying. After some thought you might think why have there been so very many people missing? You know, the kids on the milk cartons, unfound runnaways, etc... Why are there so many serial killers? Have you ever thought that these murderers might be satanists? Think again. There are masses of groups of people who take their orders straight from the satanic churchs and organizations offering animal and human sacrifices. The vast majority of rock, pop, hip hop you name it bands are either directly associated with satanism or indirectly. I know... you don't believe me... but Satanism is the new underground. But not so new. Michael Jackson said he didn't believe in the occult... you saw his video Thriller? Look up They sold their souls to rock'en roll on you tube that might open your eyes. Or just look up the satanic chruch on you tube... It would be more profitable for you to just believe what God says. God would not have called satan a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour if he wasn't able to. Have you really seen the power of a lion? I mean in real life? I have. I used to work a the LA zoo. We are totally helpless against the power of a lion. Look up the story The ghost in the darkness... It's a true story. But the real story is much worse than the video. With the power of God alone can we have the victory. We have the victory... Heaven! But here and now I see us being eaten alive. Don't fool yourself... look at how our president is dealing with the homosexuals, abortion, muslims... Obama put the lawyer for penthouse and playboy as our nations Deputy Attorny General. What do you think Dawn Johnson was doing before she was put on Obamas cabinet. Planned Parenthood. Look at how our laws will no longer protect our religious rights... Were being eaten alive. How our military is pressing to remove the chaplins from praying to Christ. How about the muslin prayer rooms in our universities. Removing the 10 commandments from our courtrooms. I could go on and on and on... The satanists are alive and well and have pictures of pastors, pastors personal possesions and with those items they pray destruction of the pastors and their families. Then there are the witches... We have been so desensitized through the years from Bewitched to Harry Potter... Have you ever, ever, ever heard the Church take a stand from the pulpit against against any of this vile entertainment? What does the bible say about witchcraft? It's right in our faces and we say nothing... If you think that praying to satan has no effect... think again. Have you ever heard of spiritual possession? How do you think that comes about? And do you think that is all that happens when satanists pray to satan? We have a God that is limitless in His power.. but what do you think happens when our churchs deny who God says He is? Refuses to live as He directs us... Desires the things of this world more than the things of God. Pray that God teach you the deeper things of the Spirit so that you can be a warrior of God. It is a real fight of eternal proportions. Purvis
