Two Major Tools of Satan

Satan and his cohorts want nothing more than to keep Christians divided, deceived and immature. Who are satan’s cohorts? They are both demon spirits and human beings, especially humans disguised as ministers of righteousness (read 2 Corinthians 11: 14-15).  Two of the main tools they are using to accomplish their goal of keeping Christians divided, deceived and immature are the doctrines and traditions of men. One of the prime doctrines of most of these groups is that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is not for today. That teaching is not backed up by the Bible. John 16:13 clearly states: But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth…” Could this be the reason these deceived Christians have not been brought to the truth?

The havoc being caused in the church by these two satanic tools makes it very important for Christians to begin studying the Word of God as never before. Why? It is only when one continues in the Word rightly divided (interpreted by the Holy Spirit), that they come to know God’s truth that will set them free. It will not be easy because one of the hardest things for a Christian to become free of are the doctrines and traditions that have been passed down to them and are continuing to be supported by their particular church or denomination.

These things have become fixed in their hearts and are major strongholds in their minds. But there is hope; the power and truth of God are more than able to set His children free from the longstanding major strongholds, down to the least amount of leaven that has worked its way into the minds and hearts of Christians. If you admit that this is a problem, then one of the best things you can do is to make intercession for Christians that they would be set free from anything that is not God’s truth.
