Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

strategies and fiery darts against the human mind (Eph. 6:16), our adversary and his cohorts always attempt to make themselves stronger than they are, more important than they are, and more frightening than they are. They are masters of intimidation! They cause several thoughts to enter the minds of believers that are nothing more than spiritual bluffs. Take a look at some of these spiritual bluffs . • You have been recently converted to Christ, and the enemy says, “You are not going to last long. You will be back in the same bondages before long!” This mental dart is sent to your mind to drag down your confidence and place a continual dread of failure in your mind. • You have experienced a physical healing and are prepared to testify before others about God’s goodness. But you may hear a still small voice in your mind say, “You better not testify. What if this disease comes back on you? You will look like a fool. Better just to keep your mouth shut.” The enemy knows the power of your testimony, so he is calling your bluff and attempting to cause you to remain silent out of an unfounded fear. • Perhaps you are preparing to give the largest offering or tithe you have ever planted in ministry. Suddenly you sense a gnawing sensation in the pit of your stomach, and these thoughts begin swirling: “You better not do that because you may need that. You know the economy is bad. What if an unexpected bill comes due?”
