Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

have prevented the crucifixion! Thus, the archenemy of mankind does not have all knowledge. He is just as we are and has no clue as to when Christ will return. Not even the heavenly angels know the day or the hour, but the Father only (Mark 13:32). According to Revelation 12, when Satan and his angels are expelled from heaven and cast to the earth during the Tribulation, Satan will then know that he has “but a short time” (v. 12). Bluff 3: He makes people think he is all powerful (omnipotent). God is often called omnipotent , a word meaning that He is “all powerful.” This power is witnessed in Genesis chapters 1– 2 when God is introduced as the Creator of the cosmos, the earth, and all living things, including man. The Book of Psalms is filled with beautiful songs and poetry describing the greatness of God’s unlimited power (Pss. 60, 63, 66, and so forth). God’s greatest power is found in His spoken word! Since Creation He is “upholding all things by the word of His power” (Heb. 1:3). The adversary would love for believers to think that his power is on equal footing with God Himself. If we are deceived into accepting this lie, then all of our prayer and rebuking of Satan is merely a “feel-good formula” that actually has no impact. In fact, if he were all powerful, he would never have needed to ask God for permission to test Job (Job 1). The opposite is true, as it was God who placed Satan on a leash , limiting him to what he could and could not do against Job.
