STAND (week 2)

October 18, 2026 Demonic forces are finite, heavily restricted and entirely on a divine leash. Our goal today is to demolish the fear. One day the members of the heavenly court came to present themselves before the Lord, and the Accuser, Satan, came with them. “Where have you come from?” the Lord asked Satan.Satan answered the Lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.” Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.” Satan replied to the Lord, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!” “All right, you may test him,” the Lord said to Satan. “Do whatever you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him physically.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence. Job 1:6–12 These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. New living translations show us that even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve. 2 Corinthians 11:13–15 Demonic Forces Are Bound by Strict Divine Boundaries The Enemy’s Primary Weapon Is Deception Not Omnipotence The Greatest Spiritual Dangers Often Times Don’t Look Demonic; They Look Harmless Three Question Filter □ Does it align with Scripture □ Does it honor Jesus? □ Does it produce spiritual life or quiet bondage?
