Satan’s Greatest Trick Is Working

Satan is not a myth nor is he some harmless figure in red with a pitchfork he is real and he is actively working to deceive destroy and drag Souls into eternal torment the Bible makes it clear that his greatest weapon is deception Revelation 1210 calls him the accuser of the Breen and his strategy is to make people feel condemned unworthy and Beyond God's grace and this is the greatest trick he plays on mankind the belief that we are too sinful for God's mercy right now millions of people are being held captive by this lie they

believe that their sins are too great that they have fallen too far that God has given up on them there are Christians who have stumbled and think they can never be restored there are unbelievers who feel too dirty to approach God they hear Satan Whispering God has given up on you and tragically many believe it they hear Satan whisper do you really think God will forgive a sinner like you when they try to pray he taunts them again after what you did last night do you really think God will listen to you don't even bother

praying but today I have come to tell you that this is the greatest deception of the en enemy if you hear nothing else from this message hear this Jesus Christ came into the world to save Sinners no matter how far you have fallen no matter how stained with sin you feel the blood of Jesus Christ is more powerful than any sin you have committed the Bible tells us that Satan's mission is clear John 1010 the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy he wants wants to steal your hope kill your faith and destroy

your soul and one of his greatest victories is convincing people that they are Beyond salvation Satan does this by constantly reminding people of their past he replays their failures over and over again making them feel unworthy he whispers that they have sinned too much that they have gone too far that God will never take the back he twists scripture and takes it out of context to make people believe their sin is unforgivable but the Bible declares the opposite Romans 3:23-24 says for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and all are

Justified freely by his grace through the Redemption that came by Christ Jesus did you hear that all have sinned not some not a few you all but just as all have sinned all can be justified freely by his grace yet Satan does not want you to see that he wants you drowning in guilt afraid to approach God he wants you feeling like an outcast like you are Beyond saving how many people have walked away from church because they felt unworthy how many refuse to pray because they think God won't listen how many standing on the

edge of Eternity thinking there is no hope left Satan is keeping people in chains but I have come to tell you that Jesus came to break every chain the devil may be a liar but Jesus is the truth and whom the sun sets free is free indeed the gospel is not for the righteous it is for the broken it is for the Sinners it is for the lost the Apostle Paul said in 1 Timothy 1:15 Christ Jesus came came into the world to save Sinners of whom I am the worst Paul the man who wrote

most of the New Testament the man who planted churches the man who preached the gospel to the world he called himself the worst of Sinners yet Jesus saved him Jesus did not come for those who think they are good he came for those who know they are lost he did not come for the religious Elite he came name for the tax collectors the prostitutes the murderers the Liars the thieves Satan tells you it's too late Jesus says come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest Satan says God

has rejected you Jesus says whoever comes to me I will never drive away Satan says your sins are too great Jesus says though your sins are like scar it they shall be as white as snow who will you believe the liar or the Lord Satan is the accuser but God is the Redeemer Satan accuses God forgives Satan condemns God restores Satan drags down God lifts up the blood of Jesus is stronger than any sin you have ever committed there is no stain so dark that his blood cannot Wash It Away I'm glad that when God

forgave me he didn't base it on whether you forgave me or not he forgave me fully I am fully forgiven now you may not have accepted that yet you may not have understood it yet but when God forgave you of your sins the night you got saved you were fully forgiven say it with me fully forgiven now so many tonight act through their actions as if God goes around beating people over the head listen to me God doesn't want us to do wrong and a true Christian doesn't want to do wrong either but Mark this

down you are not going to heaven because you have done right or will do more right you are going to heaven because Jesus divinely forgave you your salvation has nothing to do with whether you did right today or did wrong that was settled the day you asked the Lord Jesus to come into your heart and forgive you from that day to this and from this day forward you are divinely forgiven now your mother and father may have something against you they may never forgive you for something you've done wrong but I thank God tonight that

I serve a God who said in 1 John 1:9 if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness oh dear friend you may never forgive me for things I've done wrong you may hold my past against me for the rest of my life but I can stand here tonight and say thank God I have been divinely forgiven your wife may hate you your sons and daughters May hate you they may never forgive you for something you've done but here's what you need to

understand your past does not define your future in Christ Satan wants to keep you chained to the mistakes you've made but Jesus Jus came to break those chains Colossians 2:13-14 says when you were dead in your sins God Made You Alive with Christ he forgave us all our sins having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness which stood against us and condemned us he has taken it away nailing it to the Cross do you hear what that says your sins were nailed to the cross the child judges against you were canceled by the blood of

Jesus Satan can try to remind you of your past but God has erased it you are not who you were God has made you new some of you are hearing me still carrying the weight of guilt and shame you love God but you don't feel worthy of his love you want to pray but you hear the voice of the enemy telling you that God has already turned his back on you you've convinced yourself that you've messed up too many times that you've made too many wrong choices that you've strayed too far but I'm here to

tell you that is a Lie from the pit of Hell the enemy would love for you to stay in guilt and shame because a Christian who feels unworthy is a Christian who stops praying a Christian who stops praying is a Christian who stops believing and a Christian who stops believing is a Christian who stops fighting F ing if Satan can keep you defeated in your mind then he doesn't have to do much else he knows that if you ever get up if you ever start believing in God's grace again if you ever start Standing on

the Promises of God then he loses his grip on you that's why the Bible tells us in Romans 81 there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus did you hear that no condemnation if you are in Christ you are not condemned that means Satan has no legal right to accuse you that means every sin every failure every mistake has been wiped clean by the blood of Jesus the only Power guilt and shame have over you is the power you allow it to have so why do we still walk around carrying

the weight of what Jesus already took away why do we still Let The Whispers of the enemy keep us from running back to the father if you're drowning in guilt if you're struggling with shame if you've been thinking that God has given up on you I have one question for you tonight who told you that who told you that you were too dirty for God to love who told you that you had sinned too much for God to forgive who told you that your mistakes had disqualified you from his Mercy it wasn't God it was

the enemy of your soul trying to keep you from the very Grace that can set you free look at Luke 1520 where Jesus tells the story of The Prodigal Son but while he was still a long way off his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him he ran to his son threw his arms around him and kissed him did you see that the father ran to him he didn't wait for his son to prove himself he didn't demand that he clean himself up first the moment he saw him coming home he ran

to embrace him that is the heart of God toward you he is not standing at a distance waiting to judge you he is running toward you with open arms ready to restore you no matter how far you've gone no matter what you've done you can come home to the father today but here's the problem some of you refuse to forgive yourselves you believe in God's forgiveness but you still hold your past against yourself you sit in church you hear sermons about Grace but deep down you still think you have to earn God's love back you

still carry the shame of what happened years ago you still let the voice of the enemy convince you that you're not worthy but let me remind you Jesus already paid the price if God has forgiven you who are you to say otherwise are you greater than God are you more righteous than God if he says you are forgiven then you are forgiven it's time to walk in that forgiveness and stop living in the lies of the enemy Isaiah 43:25 says I even I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake and remembers

your sins no more did you catch that God doesn't just forgive he forgets he chooses to eras your sins from his memory so if God doesn't remember them why are you still holding on to them the devil wants you stuck in regret but God is calling you into Redemption the enemy wants you chained to your past but God has already given you a future Jeremiah 29:11 declares for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a hope in a future

Satan tells you it's too late Jesus says it's not over Satan says God has rejected you Jesus says he will never leave you nor forsake you Satan says your sins are too great Jesus says his grace is greater than all your sin who will you believe the liar or the Lord tonight I urge you don't listen to The Whispers of the enemy anymore lift your head walk in Freedom hold on to Grace because whom the sun sets free is free indeed Satan's greatest trick is not witchcraft not demonic possessions not even The Temptations of the

world his greatest trick is convincing people that they are Beyond God's grace if he can make you believe that you are too sinful too broken or too unworthy then he has already won half the battle but tonight I want to remind you that Satan is a liar Jesus came to set the captives free and there is no sin greater than his blood the enemy May whisper lies but the truth of God's word shouts louder you are forgiven you are loved and you are free
