<p>When Jesus “was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil,” (Matthew 4:1) he used scripture to overcome Satan's temptations. Scripture is our best offensive weapon against the devil, over our lives and the lives of others.

 +
<p>A closer look shows that scripture does not support this. Satan appeared physically to Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). It is fitting that he would talk to a being that appeared physically. The devil even took Jesus on a “tour,” first to the temple, then to a high mountain. </p>
 +
<p>After this experience there is no other account of Jesus quoting scripture to Satan as a way of fighting him. Yet throughout his ministry he was busy confronting and overcoming the enemy in the lives of people. Thus unless the enemy appears to any one of us physically (God forbid) we have no business talking to him verbally. </p>
 +
<p>Even if he were to physically appear to any one of us God may require us to do something else –like just saying, “Away from me, Satan,” (Matthew 4:10). No long verbal confrontations. Quoting any scripture may not be necessary. Our Lord was not setting a formula of using scripture in having conversations with the enemy. What we learn from his experience is that the enemy can use scripture that God gave us to live by. It's only that he twists it in order to deceive us. </p>
 +
<p>The way this deception works is by him planting thoughts in our minds rather than appearing physically. The battle is either lost or won from within as we counteract the temptation and deception with the right scripture -the sword of the spirit realm. Since Satan can also use scripture it becomes a bigger battle when comparing what's true and what's twisted out of context. We have more than enough experiences throughout history where God's people have fallen to lies through misinterpreted scripture. Satan used scripture to justify ungodly acts such as gender abuses, slavery, colonialism, persecution of non-Christians and so on. </p>
 +
<p>Our recent accounts include the erroneous spiritual warfare and deliverance teachings. None of the people that fell to the lies throughout history had any outward conversation or physical encounter with Satan quoting scripture. </p>
 +
<p>Scripture does not direct us to be quoting scripture against Satan in verbal confrontations and assuming that we're wielding the sword of the spirit. The battle is within not outside. God's word hidden in our hearts and minds surfaces whenever we're confronted with opposing beliefs and matters. God's word in our hearts and minds is among our major indirect weapons of spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry.</p>

<p>&quot;The rich man also died and was buried. In <strong>Hell</strong>, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him: Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire!&quot; Luke 16:22-24<br><br>
+
<p>After he described the various elements of the spiritual armor, Paul said that we are to be in constant prayer. Prayer is part of our spiritual warfare. “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” Praying implies talking to God, not to Satan. All kinds of prayers and requests include: </p>
HELL! <strong>What </strong>is it? It is <em>God's great prison</em>, where His criminals are confined. It is the place of <em>punishment</em> — where the wages of sin are paid. It is the house of despair, the residence of desperation, the dwelling-place of the worm that never dies. It is called the lake of fire, burning with brimstone. It is a place of terrible torture, dreadful agony, and soul-racking remorse. <em>Hope </em>never enters there. <em>Repose </em>is never enjoyed there. <em>Light </em>never shines there. But all is pain, gloom, restless agony, and indescribable torment! There is weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth — forever!<br><br>
+
<p>1) Prayers of deliverance and protection (spiritually, socially, physically or materially), </p>
HELL! <strong>Who </strong>are there? The <em>rich man</em>, at whose gate Lazarus lay, is there. <em>Judas</em>, who betrayed Jesus, is there. <em>Cain</em>, who slew his brother, is there. <em>Demas</em>, who preferred the world to Christ, is there. The <em>covetous </em>and <em>thieves </em>are there! The <em>immoral </em>and <em>liars </em>are there! The <em>proud </em>and <em>vain </em>are there! All who made light of the Gospel are there! All who neglected the great salvation are there! All who worshiped the Roman beast are there! And they are all &quot;tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb! The smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever — and they have no rest day nor night!&quot;<br><br>
+
<p>2) Prayers of agreement, </p>
Many perhaps whom you have <em>known </em>are there! Some of <em>our relations </em>even may be there! <em>Old friends </em>of ours may be there. Some who lived in the same street, met in the same place of worship, and whom we once hoped to meet in Heaven — are there!<br><br>
+
<p>3) Prayers of intercession, </p>
Who are there? Why, we were nearly there <em>ourselves! </em>We lay at the entrance of Hell! We were within a few inches of Hell! A slight accident, a stroke, or a disease — would have sent us there. <em>Yes — but for free and sovereign grace — WE would have been in Hell!</em><br><br>
+
<p>4) Prayers of inquiry, </p>
&quot;Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life!&quot; Revelation 21:27<br><br>
+
<p>5) Prayers of importunity, supplication, appeal or petition, </p>
&quot;Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying!&quot; Revelation 22:15<br><br>
+
<p>6) Prayers of consecration/dedication/commitment, </p>
HELL! What do they <strong>suffer </strong>there? No tongue can tell. No <em>pen </em>can write; no <em>heart </em>can conceive — what lost souls suffer in Hell! Who can tell what the <em>unmixed wrath</em>, the <em>fiery indignation</em>, the <em>endless curse </em>of Almighty God is? Who can set forth what <em>sin deserves</em>, and what is the obstinate sinner's due?<br><br>
+
<p>7) Prayers of repentance, </p>
They weep, they wail, they gnash their teeth. They are tormented in eternal flames. In every member of the <em>body</em>, in every power of the <em>soul</em> — the lost in Hell will suffer. <em>Memory</em>, <em>conscience</em>, and the <em>imagination</em> — will especially increase their agonies! And<em>hopeless despair </em>will render their doom indescribably dreadful!<br><br>
+
<p>8) Prayers in the word (praying with the scriptures), </p>
What do they suffer in Hell? Tell! O tell me — what God can justly inflict, what an immortal man can bear, what the threatenings of the violated law require, and how devils can add to the torments of lost souls — and I will tell you what they may suffer in Hell!<br><br>
+
<p>9) Prayers of worship/adoration and thanksgiving, </p>
But, O! may you never know in your own <em>experience </em>what lost souls have to endure, and endure forever! Could we but lift the veil that conceals that awful place from our view, and see but for five minutes the agonies of those in Hell — we would never forget the sight! Our <em>flesh </em>would tremble, our <em>hair </em>would stand up on our heads, and our <em>souls </em>would be paralyzed with horror!<br><br>
+
HELL! Who will <strong>yet </strong>go to Hell? Who? Perhaps the <em>reader </em>of these lines! Who? ah, perhaps many of whom we have now no suspicion! Will any of our <em>children </em>go there? Will any of our <em>brothers </em>or <em>sisters </em>go there? Will any of the members of the <em>church </em>go there? Will any of this <em>congregation </em>go there?<br><br>
+
Who will go there? All <em>liars </em>shall have their part in the lake that burns with brimstone and fire. All <em>swearers</em>, all <em>drunkards</em> — will find a place set apart in Hell for them. All <em>immoral </em>people; all <em>covetous </em>and <em>dishonest </em>people — all will find a place in Hell prepared for <em>them</em>.<br><br>
+
Who will go to Hell? All who live and die <em>impenitent</em>; &quot;for unless you repent — <em>you </em>shall all likewise perish!&quot; All <em>unbelievers</em>; for &quot;he who believes not, shall be damned!&quot; All who are in their <em>natural state</em>; for &quot;unless a man is born again — he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.&quot;<br><br>
+
Without <em>faith </em>in Christ, and <em>repentance </em>toward God; without <em>love </em>to God and man, the proof and evidence of the new birth; without union to Christ, and the possession of the Spirit of Christ — there is no escaping the wrath to come — the person must go to Hell! O solemn consideration! Let a man therefore examine himself, whether he is in the faith; let each man and woman prove their own selves, and see if Christ is in them.<br><br>
+
HELL! How may we <strong>escape </strong>it? Only by <em>fleeing </em>to Jesus, by <em>believing </em>in Jesus, and <em>receiving </em>the Spirit of Jesus. No one can save us but Jesus, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we can be saved. Jesus has done all that is necessary to save souls from Hell, and he is ready to put on our account — what he has done to us; whenever we go to him, plead with him, trust in him, and commit our souls to him. We <em>need </em>not go to Hell, for Jesus is both able and willing to save us; and yet we <em>must </em>go to Hell, unless we apply to him, to be saved by him.<br><br>
+
As therefore Hell is so <em>dreadful;</em> as the punishments of Hell are <em>eternal</em>; as once lost, we are lost <em>irrecoverably</em> — as no one can save us but Jesus — and as Jesus will only save those who make <em>personal application </em>to him — let us at once, with all our hearts and souls, apply to Christ! &quot;Behold! now is the accepted time. Behold! now is the day of salvation.&quot; Let us then &quot;Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon!&quot; Isaiah 55:6-7

The sword of the Spirit"

The sword of the Spirit

When Jesus “was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil,” (Matthew 4:1) he used scripture to overcome Satan's temptations. Scripture is our best offensive weapon against the devil, over our lives and the lives of others. Notice in the temptation passage (Matthew 4:1-11) that Satan also used scripture in trying to deceive Jesus.

The passage where Jesus quoted scripture to overcome Satan's temptations has sometimes been used to justify verbal confrontation. It is often used as an example of verbal confrontation where Jesus exercised the word, the Sword of the spirit realm, against Satan.

A closer look shows that scripture does not support this. Satan appeared physically to Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). It is fitting that he would talk to a being that appeared physically. The devil even took Jesus on a “tour,” first to the temple, then to a high mountain.

After this experience there is no other account of Jesus quoting scripture to Satan as a way of fighting him. Yet throughout his ministry he was busy confronting and overcoming the enemy in the lives of people. Thus unless the enemy appears to any one of us physically (God forbid) we have no business talking to him verbally.

Even if he were to physically appear to any one of us God may require us to do something else –like just saying, “Away from me, Satan,” (Matthew 4:10). No long verbal confrontations. Quoting any scripture may not be necessary. Our Lord was not setting a formula of using scripture in having conversations with the enemy. What we learn from his experience is that the enemy can use scripture that God gave us to live by. It's only that he twists it in order to deceive us.

The way this deception works is by him planting thoughts in our minds rather than appearing physically. The battle is either lost or won from within as we counteract the temptation and deception with the right scripture -the sword of the spirit realm. Since Satan can also use scripture it becomes a bigger battle when comparing what's true and what's twisted out of context. We have more than enough experiences throughout history where God's people have fallen to lies through misinterpreted scripture. Satan used scripture to justify ungodly acts such as gender abuses, slavery, colonialism, persecution of non-Christians and so on.

Our recent accounts include the erroneous spiritual warfare and deliverance teachings. None of the people that fell to the lies throughout history had any outward conversation or physical encounter with Satan quoting scripture.

Scripture does not direct us to be quoting scripture against Satan in verbal confrontations and assuming that we're wielding the sword of the spirit. The battle is within not outside. God's word hidden in our hearts and minds surfaces whenever we're confronted with opposing beliefs and matters.

7) All kinds of prayers

After he described the various elements of the spiritual armor, Paul said that we are to be in constant prayer. Prayer is part of our spiritual warfare. “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.” Praying implies talking to God, not to Satan. All kinds of prayers and requests include:

1) Prayers of deliverance and protection (spiritually, socially, physically or materially),

2) Prayers of agreement,

3) Prayers of intercession,

4) Prayers of inquiry,

5) Prayers of importunity, supplication, appeal or petition,

6) Prayers of consecration/dedication/commitment,

7) Prayers of repentance,

8) Prayers in the word (praying with the scriptures),

9) Prayers of worship/adoration and thanksgiving,
