TEMPTER

Satan can tempt us for many days at a time without letting up (40+ ?).

Mark 1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan ; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

Eventually the devil will get tired of tempting you and will depart, but sometimes just for a short season.

Luke 4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

DECEIVER

Satan can actually remove the truth of the Word of God from someone’s heart, and can do this immediately.

Mark 4:15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Satan keeps the unsaved under his power…until they get saved.

Acts 26:17-18 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Satan can even appear to be an angel sent by God.

2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

ATTACKER

Satan himself at times will focus his own attention on certain Christian troublemakers.

Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

Church discipline involves Satan being allowed to actually desroy one’s flesh.

1 Cor 5:4-5 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

BUFFETER

He can actually keep someone bound in illness their whole life.

Luke 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

There can actually be an assigned devil to buffet our body, permanently.

2 Cor 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

POSSESSER

God refers to us as “Satan” when we offend Him.

Matt 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan : thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Satan himself has and will possess certain select individuals.

Luke 22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

Satan and his angels can actually possess animals (and maybe inanimate objects too).

Mark 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

Many devils can possess a person (1000+ ?)

Mark 5:8-9 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

LOSER

Jesus Christ’s main reason for coming to Earth was to officially destroy the Devil and his workings.

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil ; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil .

We are not, and should not, to be trying to attack the Devil; The Lord is the Victor and is the only One that can and should and will.

Jude 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Through God’s help, we can cause the Devil to flee from us.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil , and he will flee from you.

Satan, and possibly his angels, are allowed to be in the presence of God right now, to accuse us when we sin; but they will be officially cast down to Earth during the Tribulation.

Rev 12:7-10 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan , which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Luke 10:17-18 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Satan will be doomed to 1000 years in ‘the Bottomless Pit’ and will not have his power on mankind during that whole time (I assume his angels will be powerless then too, being without their leader).

Rev 20:1-3 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan , and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Satan will be full of intense rage when he is released from his prison and will very rapidly deceive the whole world.

Rev 20:7-8 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Satan’s ultimate doom is the Lake of Fire which was specifically designed by God to torment him and his angels day and night for ever and ever.

Matt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
