Something To Think About When Trouble Comes

A few nights ago, as I began to minister, I reminded the audience of some of the limitations of the devil.  Often times we speak of him as if he can be everywhere at the same time.  We make him omnipresent and that is simply not true; he is not deity.  He is not like God even though he wants us to think that that is true.  He even said to himself that he would be like the Most high.  He cannot be like God.  He is a fallen angel and like all other angels in the Bible, they can only be in one place at one time. 

So, how is he able to counterfeit this ability?  The Bible tells us in Rev 12 that he drew a third of an innumerable number of angels with him.  We are also told in Ephesians 6:12 concerning the hierarchy or structure of the enemy's camp.  We are warned not to be ignorant of his methods.  I think that it is very important that, as a believer, you and I know that there is no neutral ground.  Once you name the name of Jesus you become a target for his attacks.  In this case, the more you know about your enemy and his limitations the better you will be able to withstand him.
