Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

thousands who love and keep God’s commandments. Thus there is a separation given between the obedient and the disobedient , those who love the Lord and those who hate the Lord. It is clear in both Testaments that those practicing evil and passing the practices of all forms of sin on to their children are certainly subject to experiencing the disfavor of God at some point after He has dealt with them and they have rejected His love and mercy. However, there is also ample evidence that a true believer cannot be cursed with any form of judgment from a past sin—either their own sins or those of their ancestors—if they are actively loving God and keeping His commandments! If the adversary could legally bring up our sins and accuse us of iniquity that has long been forgiven, then the blood of Christ and God’s ability to forgive are both weak and void of power. However, the Bible teaches that if we sin, Christ the High Priest of heaven is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We are informed that Satan is “the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night” (Rev. 12:10). The word accuser is a Greek word, kategoros , and it refers to a person who is against a person in the assembly or, as we would say, a prosecutor who accuses a person of injustice. Satan’s accusations are completely ineffective when a believer has been forgiven of his or her sins, as the sin evidence has been erased and there is no legal action that can impact the believer’s life.
