When You’re Marked by God, Satan Comes After You | C.S Lewis Sermons

Have you ever felt different, like you don't quite fit into the mold of the world around you? Like there's something set apart in you, something greater, something deeper, something calling you beyond the ordinary? That feeling isn't random; it's not just a passing thought.

It is the undeniable evidence that you are marked by God. I want you to know this: when God marks you, no force in heaven, on Earth, or in hell itself can erase His calling on your life. You are not just another name, another face in the crowd; you are chosen, handpicked by the Creator of the universe for a Divine purpose.

This isn't about your achievements, talents, or qualifications; this is about God's will, His plan, His anointing over your life. Being marked by God means you carry a heavenly assignment. Look at the lives of those He marked: David, a mere shepherd boy chosen to be king; Moses, a man with a speech impediment called to lead a nation; Jeremiah, a young prophet who felt inadequate yet was appointed to speak God's word.

None of them were qualified by human standards, but they were chosen by Divine decree, and so are you. So, if you have ever wondered, "Am I truly called? Does my life have a purpose?

" let me tell you right now: yes, without a doubt, yes! In this video, I'm going to reveal six unmistakable signs that prove you are marked by God. These are not coincidences; these are Divine fingerprints on your life.

Get ready, because once you recognize these signs, you will never see yourself the same way again. Let's dive in. Sign One: Satan is After You.

If you are marked by God, I want you to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that the enemy has taken notice. You see, spiritual warfare isn't a sign that you're failing; it's proof that you are called. The enemy doesn't waste his attacks on those who are walking aimlessly; he targets those who carry purpose, those who are anointed, those who have been set apart by God for something great.

If you feel like you're constantly facing battles, like the weight of opposition is heavier on you than those around you, it's not because you're weak; it's because you are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. The Bible makes this clear in Ephesians 6:12 when it says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. " This means that when you step into your calling, when you start walking in alignment with God's will, you are stepping onto the battlefield.

But hear me when I say this: you are not stepping onto it alone. Look at the lives of those God marked in Scripture. Moses was a deliverer chosen by God, but before he could even take his first steps, Pharaoh sought to kill every Hebrew baby boy.

Why? Because the enemy knew that one of them would rise up and bring freedom to God's people. Jesus Himself, the Son of God, faced the same attack when He was born.

King Herod sent soldiers to slaughter innocent children in an attempt to destroy Him before He could fulfill His mission. This is not a coincidence; this is a pattern. The enemy always tries to eliminate what threatens him before it can rise.

And let's not forget Job, a man who was so faithful that God Himself boasted about him to Satan. Job 1:8 records God saying, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright.

" And what happened next? Satan sought to attack him. Why?

Because Job was marked; his life was a testimony of faith, and the enemy wanted to destroy that testimony. But here's what I need you to understand: Satan could only go as far as God allowed. I want you to hear me on this: if you are under attack, it is not because God has abandoned you; it is because you are a threat to the enemy's agenda.

And if Satan is fighting you, it's because he sees what you are becoming. He sees the anointing on your life; he sees the breakthrough that's coming. And his only strategy is to stop you before you realize just how powerful you are in Christ.

But here's the truth: he will not succeed. I know the battle gets exhausting. I know the weight of opposition can feel unbearable at times, but I am here to remind you: opposition is proof of divine calling.

If you weren't marked by God, you wouldn't be a target. The fact that the enemy is coming against you means that heaven has assigned something to you, and if God assigned it, no devil in hell can steal it. So what do you do when you're under attack?

You stand firm. You lift your head. You plant your feet, and you remind yourself that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

The enemy can try, but he cannot override the purpose of God. 1 Peter 5:8 warns us to be alert and of sober mind: your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. But don't miss this: he prowls like a lion, but he is not the Lion.

Jesus Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and when He roars, every other voice must be silent. That includes the voice of fear, the voice of discouragement, the voice of doubt. If you've been facing relentless attacks, if it feels like everything in your life has been shaken, I want you to shift your perspective today.

You are not being destroyed; you are being strengthened. You are not being abandoned; you are being anointed. Every battle, every struggle, every moment of hardship is just confirmation that you.

. . I have been called for something greater, so don't quit, don't shrink back.

Don't believe the lie that you are alone. God has already written your victory, and the enemy cannot change that. Keep pushing forward because your purpose is worth fighting for.

Sign two: You are heavenly protected and defended. If the enemy has been coming against you, I want you to hear this truth: you are not just attacked; you are also protected. God does not mark you without defending you; He does not call you without covering you.

When you are chosen, you are shielded. No weapon, no scheme, no attack from the enemy will be able to break you because you are under divine security. Isaiah 54:17 declares, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me," says the Lord. Did you catch that? God never said the weapons wouldn't form; He said they wouldn't prosper.

Attacks may come, opposition may rise, and the enemy may try everything he can to shake you, but his weapons will fail because they cannot override God's protection over your life. Think about Daniel in the lion's den. He was thrown into a pit surrounded by hungry lions.

By all logic, by all human understanding, that should have been the end for him. But Daniel was marked, and when you are marked, you are covered. The Bible says in Daniel 6:22 that God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions.

The very thing that was meant to destroy him lost its power in the presence of God's protection. And what about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? They were thrown into a fiery furnace, heated seven times hotter than normal—so hot that the soldiers who threw them in were instantly burned to death.

But when King Nebuchadnezzar looked into the fire, he saw something astonishing. He didn't see three men burning; he saw four men walking completely unharmed, and that fourth figure was the Son of God. Listen to me: when you are marked by God, even the fire cannot consume you.

Even the things meant to break you will only reveal God's presence beside you. Do you see it? There is a pattern in Scripture.

Every time the enemy tries to take out one of God's chosen, divine intervention steps in because when you belong to God, you are never fighting alone. Look at David and Saul. Saul wanted to kill David.

He chased him down, he threw spears at him, he sent armies to hunt him. But no matter how hard Saul tried, he could not touch David. Why?

Because David was anointed. David was chosen. David was marked.

And when you are marked, you are untouchable until God's purpose in you is fulfilled. This is what I want you to understand today: when God marks you, He also defends you. Even in moments when you feel surrounded, even in moments when it seems like the enemy is closing in, there is a hedge around you that cannot be broken.

There are angels assigned to you; there is divine security encamped around your life. Even the dangers you never saw, God has already blocked. Even the battles you didn't know were forming, He already won.

Psalm 91:11 tells us, "For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. ” You have angelic assistance; you have supernatural defense. You are not just walking through life unprotected; you are shielded by the Most High God.

I know sometimes it feels like the attacks are endless. I know the battle gets exhausting. But I need you to remind yourself of this: if you are still standing, it means the enemy failed.

If you are still here, it means God's protection over your life is greater than the warfare that came against you. So what do you do? You stand firm.

You stop fearing what the enemy can do, and you start trusting in what God has already done. You stop focusing on the attack, and you start focusing on the promise that no attack will succeed. You stop letting fear run your life because fear has no place where faith is standing.

Stand firm. You are marked, you are covered, and you are protected. The same God who shut the mouths of the lions for Daniel, the same God who walked in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the same God who shielded David from every attack, He is your God too, and He will not let the enemy win.

So walk with confidence. Walk in faith. Walk like someone who knows that they are surrounded by heavenly defense because you are.

And the attacks that come against you may come, but they will never prosper. Sign three: You will go through seasons of isolation. If you are marked by God, there will come a time when He pulls you away from everything familiar.

It will feel like doors are closing, people are leaving, and the things that once made sense no longer do. You may even ask God, “Why am I alone? ” But listen to me: isolation is not rejection; it is preparation.

When God marks you, He sets you apart, and when He sets you apart, He separates you not to harm you but to prepare you for the calling He has placed on your life. God isolates those He intends to elevate. Look at the pattern in Scripture: before God used any of His chosen ones in a mighty way, He took them through a season of solitude.

Isolation is where He shapes you, molds you, refines you, and strengthens you. It is where He removes distractions so that you can hear His voice clearly. It is where He strips away everything that is not needed for the journey ahead.

about Moses, before he became the great deliverer of Israel, before he stood before Pharaoh and declared, "Let my people go," he spent 40 years in the wilderness tending sheep. He was isolated, far from Egypt, far from his people, far from everything he once knew. But that is exactly where God met him—in the solitude, in the silence, in the hidden place.

God spoke. Exodus 3 tells us that Moses was alone when he saw the burning bush and heard God call his name. Had he still been in Egypt, surrounded by noise and distractions, would he have recognized the voice of God?

And then there's Joseph. Before he became second in command over all of Egypt, before he saved an entire nation from famine, what happened? He was thrown into a pit by his own brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned.

He was isolated, betrayed, and forgotten by man, but never forgotten by God. Genesis 50:20 shows us the revelation Joseph received in hindsight: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done—the saving of many lives. " What looked like rejection was actually divine positioning.

His isolation was not punishment; it was preparation for the palace. And what about Paul? After his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, did he immediately step into ministry?

No, God took him into the wilderness—away from people, away from influence, away from everything he knew. Galatians 1:15-17 tells us that Paul spent years in Arabia before stepping into his calling. Why?

Because before God sends you out, He sets you apart. I need you to hear this: your isolation is not the enemy winning; your isolation is God working. The people who left, the doors that closed, the opportunities that didn't happen—none of it was an accident.

God is doing something in you that cannot be done in the crowd. There are things He needs to teach you, things He needs to heal in you, things He needs to strengthen in you before you step into what He has called you to do. So, if you feel alone, if you feel forgotten, if you feel like you're in a season of waiting where nothing seems to be moving forward, don't be discouraged; be encouraged.

God has not abandoned you; He is preparing you. The quiet season is where giants are trained. The hidden place is where warriors are forged.

The wilderness is where champions are formed. Stay faithful in this season because it is not the end of your story; it is the beginning of something greater. Remember: the pit does not cancel the palace.

The isolation does not cancel the calling. The wilderness does not cancel the anointing. If God is pulling you back, it's because He is getting ready to launch you forward.

Hold on, trust Him, and embrace the preparation. Sign four: you receive confirmations through dreams. When God marks you, He doesn't leave you guessing about His plans.

He speaks, He reveals, and He confirms. One of the powerful ways He does this is through dreams. If you are marked by God, you may find that your dreams are not random; they carry meaning, direction, and even divine instruction.

The Bible tells us in Job 33:14-16, "For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. " God has always used dreams as a way to communicate, to warn, to prepare, and to confirm His calling on someone's life.

If God has marked you, pay attention to what He is showing you in your sleep. Look at Joseph in Genesis 37. He was just a young man when God gave him two prophetic dreams.

In the first, he saw sheaves of grain bowing before his own. In the second, the sun, moon, and stars bowed before him. These were not just meaningless images; they were glimpses of his destiny, revealing that one day he would rise to a position of great authority.

And what happened? His brothers hated him for it. His dream was too big for them to understand.

Let me pause here and ask you: have you ever shared a dream God gave you only to have people dismiss it, doubt it, or even try to tear you down because of it? That's because not everyone is meant to understand what God is revealing to you. Joseph's brothers threw him into a pit and sold him into slavery.

But listen: their betrayal did not cancel the dream. What God showed him as a teenager came to pass years later because when God speaks, His word does not return void. Then we have Daniel.

God gave him the ability to interpret dreams, and through this gift, he gained favor in the kingdom. His wisdom was not man-made; it was divinely given. And then there's Peter.

In Acts 10, he received a vision that changed the course of his ministry. God used a dream to confirm that salvation was not just for the Jews, but also for the Gentiles. Without that vision, Peter might have struggled to step into his full calling.

So, if you find yourself experiencing vivid, meaningful dreams—dreams that stir something deep in your spirit, dreams that keep returning, dreams that align with God's word—do not ignore them. Write them down, pray over them, seek God for interpretation, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom. Some dreams may be warnings, some may be confirmations, and some may be glimpses of what is to come.

But every dream God gives has a purpose. Now, I know some of you may be wondering, "But how do I know if a dream is from God or just my imagination? " This is where discernment comes in.

A dream from God will always align with. . .

Scripture, it will not contradict His nature, and it will often be followed by confirmation in your spirit or through other means. God is speaking; are you listening? Don't dismiss the dreams He is giving you.

Don't let doubt or fear cause you to ignore His voice. If He is showing you something, it's because He wants you to see it. If He is revealing something, it's because it is part of your purpose.

Trust Him. Sign five: you receive confirmations through people. When God marks you, He doesn't just speak in dreams or in the secret place of your heart; He also uses people’s voices around you to confirm what He has already spoken.

If you are marked by God, expect Him to send people your way who will affirm, encourage, and sometimes even challenge you into stepping fully into your calling. This is how God works; He doesn't leave His chosen ones wondering or doubting. He provides confirmation through the mouths of others.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 13:1, "Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. " If God has marked you, He will send voices to echo what He has already placed inside of you. Look at David in 1 Samuel 16.

He was just a shepherd boy—unseen and unconsidered—when the prophet Samuel arrived at his father's house. No one in David's family saw him as a king, but God had already chosen him. When Samuel saw David, the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him; this is the one.

" David wasn't seeking a title, but the confirmation of his anointing came through a man of God. Think about Mary, the mother of Jesus. When the angel Gabriel told her that she would carry the Son of God, that was already confirmation enough.

But God didn't stop there; He sent Elizabeth, her cousin, to affirm it. The moment Mary entered Elizabeth's house, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and declared, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear" (Luke 1:42). She had no natural way of knowing what had happened to Mary, but God placed His confirmation in her mouth.

This is what happens when you are marked: you will hear the same message repeated through different voices—mentors, spiritual leaders, even unexpected people. God will send others to speak life into you, to remind you of what He has spoken, and to confirm that what you sense in your spirit is not your imagination; it is divine truth. But hear me on this: you must be discerning.

Not every voice is from God. Just as He uses people to confirm, the enemy also tries to use people to confuse. Test every word: does it align with Scripture?

Does it match what God has already spoken to you? Does it bear witness in your spirit? God will not allow His marked ones to walk in confusion.

He is faithful to confirm, faithful to remind, and faithful to guide. So pay attention to the voices He places in your path. Listen carefully: you are not imagining things, you are not making it up; you are marked, and God is making sure you know it.

Sign six: you are called before you show any results. Before you ever bear fruit, before you ever step into the fullness of your calling, God has already declared who you are. Being marked by God is not about what you have achieved; it's about what He has spoken over you.

Before you ever took a single step, you are not called because of your success; you are called because of His purpose. Look at Jeremiah 1:5, where God declares, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. " Jeremiah wasn't chosen after he became a prophet; he was already marked before he ever spoke a word.

God had set him apart long before any evidence of his calling existed. This is the nature of divine selection; God doesn't wait for you to prove yourself before He calls you. The world operates on results; people want to see credentials, talent, and success before they recognize someone's potential.

But God speaks to what is unseen; He calls things into being before they exist. Romans 4:17 says that God calls into being things that were not. That's what He did with Gideon in Judges 6:12.

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he didn't call him by his weakness. He didn't say, "Gideon, the fearful one hiding in the wine press. " No, He called him by his destiny: "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.

" At that moment, Gideon had not won a single battle, but that didn't change God's declaration. God doesn't speak to where you are; He speaks to where He's taking you. Maybe you feel unqualified; maybe you're looking at your life and wondering, "God, how can I be called when I haven't even seen the fruit yet?

" But I need you to hear this: the absence of results does not mean the absence of calling. The fact that you don't see it yet doesn't mean God hasn't spoken it. Faith comes first, then fruit follows.

Obedience comes first, then results come in due time. Abraham was called the father of many nations before he ever had a child. David was anointed king long before he ever sat on the throne.

Paul was chosen as an apostle before he ever preached his first sermon. This is how God works: He calls, then He equips; He speaks, then He brings it to pass. So what does this mean for you?

Stop waiting for visible success to validate what God has already spoken. You don't need people's approval to confirm your anointing; you don't need evidence to prove your calling. If God has.

. . Marked you he has already declared it.

Now it's time to walk in it. You are chosen, you are appointed, you are set apart. Walk boldly, knowing that even if the world hasn't recognized it yet, Heaven already has.

Before we close, I invite you to join me in a powerful, faith-filled prayer— a prayer of alignment, surrender, and declaration over your life. If you know God has marked you, if you feel His hand but wrestle with doubt, if you want to stand firm in your calling, this prayer is for you. So wherever you are, quiet your heart, lift your spirit, and let's enter His presence together.

Heavenly Father, I come before You with an open heart, lifting up every person under the sound of my voice who has been marked by You. Lord, You are the one who calls, the one who appoints, the one who sets apart Your children for Divine Purpose, and right now, I thank You for the undeniable hand of God upon their lives. Father, You see them, You know their journey, You know the battles they've faced, the struggles they've endured, the moments of doubt that have whispered lies into their spirit.

But right now, I come against every voice of the enemy that has tried to make them question their identity in You. I silence every spirit of fear, insecurity, and hesitation, and I declare that they will walk boldly in the calling You have placed upon them. Lord, I pray for supernatural strength over their lives.

The road of the chosen is not always easy, but You never promised ease; You promised presence. So I ask that You remind them today that they are never alone, even in the battles, even in the seasons of isolation, even when they feel unseen. Remind them that You are always working behind the scenes, shaping them, refining them, preparing them for the greater purpose ahead.

God, I lift up those who feel weary in their calling, those who have faced spiritual attacks and wondered if they are truly set apart, those who have been tempted to give up because the weight of the calling feels too heavy. Breathe fresh life into them today. Let them know that the opposition they have faced is not a sign that they are abandoned; it is proof that they are anointed.

Give them endurance to stand firm, knowing that the enemy only fights what he fears. Father, I pray for divine protection over their lives. Shield them from every weapon formed against them, block every scheme of the enemy that tries to derail them.

Surround them with Your angels and cover them with Your presence. Let no harm come near them, and let no attack succeed against them because they are under the mighty hand of the Lord. Lord, for those who have been in seasons of waiting, strengthen their patience.

If they have been hidden, remind them that hiddenness is not rejection; it is preparation. If they have been overlooked, remind them that You see them, and when Your time is right, nothing will be able to stop what You have planned for their lives. God, I ask that You increase their discernment.

Speak to them in ways they cannot deny. Confirm their calling through dreams, through divine encounters, through people You send into their lives. Open their ears to hear Your voice with clarity and their hearts to receive every instruction You give.

And when You speak, give them the courage to obey without hesitation. Lord, I pray for their faith. Strengthen it, anchor it, root it deep in You.

Let them not waver when circumstances seem uncertain. Let them not doubt when results are not yet visible. Let them trust that if You have called them, You will bring it to pass.

Help them to walk in obedience, knowing that results are not their responsibility; faithfulness is. Father, let their lives be a testimony of what it means to be marked by God. Let them carry Your presence in everything they do.

Let them be living proof that when You place Your hand on someone, no force in hell can remove it. Let them walk with boldness, speak with authority, and move forward with unshakable confidence, knowing that their calling is not based on man's approval but on Your Divine Purpose. I thank You, Lord, for what You are doing in their lives.

I thank You for the doors You are opening, the growth You are producing, and the transformation that is taking place even now. I declare that they are chosen, they are set apart, they are anointed for such a time as this. They will not shrink back, they will not doubt, they will not waver; they will rise in the power of the Lord.

And now, Father, I place them in Your hands. Lead them, guide them, sustain them, and use them for Your glory. Let them step forward in faith, knowing they are marked, they are called, and they are loved beyond measure.

In Jesus' mighty name, amen. If this message has spoken to your heart and strengthened your faith, I invite you to like this video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who needs this encouragement today. Thank you for being part of this community.
