If I Were The Devil

Most of us know that satan goes after whatever your weakness is. The most famous example I can think of is Jesus. After He had fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, satan came up to him and offered Jesus bread. Anyway if I was the devil what weakness would I find in you to tempt you with?
Other, feel free to add
Your Ego
Your need to get the credit and the glory
Your insecurity
Your need to control
Your Materialism
Your feelings of inadequency
Your sexual weakness
Your tendency to worry
Will I exploit your loneliness


May the Lord bless you and keep you

4, 7, 9 & 10

You would also attack me financially since I am on a fixed income, your best tactic would be to keep my truck broke down, especially since I use it more to help others than I use it for myself. Satan does this to me consistently.

You would attack me through my children and grandchildren or any children for that matter since I have a heart for kids. But you would keep the lives of my kids in turmoil if you could. And when I say my children or kids I mean more than my biological children, I mean my nieces and nephews and other's that I am very close to and who have become like my own to me. Attack them and you get two for the price of one because you get me too. Actually this would apply for my brothers and sisters in Christ as well or anyone who I love or who is defenseless or not at 100% like the handicapped or the elderly.

Sorry to take so much space, but you asked and I'm just trying to be honest.

Ephesians 6:13 . . .and having done all, to stand

What if he did something that insures he never needs to attack you? What if he did something so well hidden that puts you in his hand as a matter of course where you don't even know you are there in his hand? What if there was a way to insure that you CAN NOT stop sinning no matter how hard you want to or how hard you try? What if he did something that God had to turn His back on simply because HE (God) had predestined it to be? What would Satan do to us that we will deny is even POSSIBLE? He doesn't need to trick us or persecute us or tempt us or lie to us. We actually ARE too smart to fall for that stuff. What might he have done already that would send almost all of us to hell? Think about it... what WOULD Satan do?
Wise words- "know your enemy"... along with- "know and fear God".

YES! FEAR GOD!

I chose number 10. My weaknesses are not a secret from the devil He exploited me for years. Now, I trust wholly in God and He cannot do anything that will separate me from the love of God. I am His and He chose me from the foundation of the world to be HIs. I chose HIm and I choose to continue to obey Him.

Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.

kristina, great point with all the blame going to the devil, as you know, God allows some trials and tribulations in order to make us more Christlike and it is up to us in how we deal with those times as to how much we grow, thanks for sharing sister, cheers

May the Lord bless you and keep you
