Thoughts of a restless pilgrim

THE STRATEGY OF SATAN

By Dr. Ginlianlal Buhril

I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD.
Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.(Jeremiah 29:11)
And they overcame him (Satan) because of the blood of the Lamb
and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love
their life even when faced with death. (Revelation 12:11)

1.1 Pastor Warren W Wiersbe:
As a son of a Soul Winner, Evangelist, Preacher (Reverend B Nengjachin) I grew up respecting God's
People who speak the truth from the word of God. Pastor Warren W Wiersbe is one man of God whom
I respect for long years and admired his writings. He is the Pastor of Pastors. He has a personal Library
collection of over 10,000 Books. Warren W Wiersbe wrote his Classic article " The Strategy of Satan
(How to detect and defeat him) way back in 1979 – here it is reproduced for its immense relevance.

2.1 Warren W Wiersbe objective of writing his Book:
To learn " the targets Satan aims in your life; the weapons he uses to attack you; the purposes that he wants
to achieve; and the defenses God has provided for you."

7.1 In the context of Christians of North-East India I am aware that " all of us are created by God to be
successful. Yet it hurts to see that we are conditioning ourselves to be failures." Still, have a hope
for " Earth has no sorrow which Heaven cannot heal." Jesus of Nazareth (who is the Lion of Judah
and the Lamb of God) is the answer to your life's problems. Go to Him.
