Overview

Christians are still subject to Satan's attacks. He is determined to disrupt the lives of believers, destroy their ministry, and steal their joy. Sadly, those who have "fallen" may not recognize the devil's schemes until they have already been caught in a snare of defeat. In this biblical guide to authentic repentance and restoration, Beth examines why devoted followers of Jesus Christ can fall into the traps of Satan and how to find their way back to God.

“They could no longer be used as ‘sins’ against me. But here's the catch: they were still weaknesses! Why? Because I had asked God to forgive me, but I had never asked God to heal me completely, redeem my past, restore my life, sanctify me entirely, and help me to forgive myself. Until I allowed God to take full authority over them in every way, my past sins—though turned from and forgiven—were still vulnerabilities where Satan could prey.” (source)

“Satan cannot possessively lay hold of us, keep us in a grip, or touch us in a way that will utterly destroy us. We may ‘feel’ destroyed, but we are not. Christ will preserve us from Satan's ultimate intent—our total destruction.” (source)

“Let's beware of anything that separates us from godly people.” (source)

“Satan's objective in taking people captive is to get them to do his will. If we have received Christ as our Savior, Satan is forced to work from the outside rather than the inside. Thus, he manipulates outside influences to affect the inside decision-makers of the heart and mind.” (source)

“Only one reason exists why God would give Satan permission to sift a dearly loved, devoted disciple of Jesus Christ: because something needs sifting.” (source)
