Fight to Turn Back the Power of Satan

6/12/2011

 
Some men refuse Christianity because they feel it is not macho. These fellows walk around saying, “I’m cool” “I’m good looking, and I’m 100% man, so don’t call me a boy”

The problem is, these guys make the same mistake Hitler made, for he too felt that religion was for women and sissies. Pride always goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18).

Being a Christian is no small feat for any man. For to do so, one must possess discipline, stability, and fighting skills. The wisdom of the kind of warfare that will conquer the beast, and of course that beast is Satan—the biggest and baddest opponent any man will face. It takes a real man to defeat Satan and only a man who has given himself to Christ stands a chance of doing so because a man can do all things though Christ (Philippians 4:13; 1 Corinthians 9:27; Prov. 16:32, Ephesians 6:10-17; 2 Cor. 10:3-5; 1 Cor. 15.32; Revelation 2:10; 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 2:3-5).

These so-called macho men who scorn God are really weak because they are in the clutches of Satan. They don’t try to fight him because they don’t have the power to resist (James 4.7). When the Devil tells them to “jump,” they quickly reply, “Yes Master Satan.” The real macho man is a godly man who strives to bring his will into harmony with God’s law and enters each day determined to turn back the challenges of Satan (1 Cor. 16:13; Acts 21:13; 1 Tim. 6.12).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
