THREE THINGS BELONGING TO SATAN
There are Three things belonging to Satan and we would do well to know about them!
- Satan’s Seat
- Satan’s Depths
- Satan’s Synagogue
Satan’s Seat – We can read about this in Revelation 2:13 – this is what it says:
I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is:
Satan sits on this seat as the Prince of the Power of the Air –
We can read about this in Ephesians 2:2 – this is what it says:
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air.
Satan sits on this Seat using his tricks, deceits cons and hoaxes constantly shooting his fiery darts at us.
This is why we are told in Ephesians 6:16 to use the Shield of Faith to enable us to smother and extinguish his darts and deceptions.
Satan’s Depths – We can read about this in Revelation 2:24 – this is what it says:
…which have not known the depths of Satan…
These are Satan’s unfathomed resources of cunning, deceit and subtle ways which he draws on every day to deceive us in every way possible.
Satan’s Synagogue – We can read about this in Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9 – this is what it says:….but are the synagogue of Satan.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan….
We need to be aware of the fact that Satan has many synagogues.
These are places where the doctrines of Devils are preached.
In our Lord’s day, He found a devil in the synagogue of the Jews, but now the Devil has a synagogue of his own! They are places where ministers appear to preach the gospel, but who are deceitful and preach a false gospel.
We can read about them in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 – this is what it says:
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
We are also warned about them in 1 Timothy 4:1-2 – this is what it says:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Here is the Wonderful News!
In contrast to the depths of Satan working AGAINST us – we have the depths of riches, wisdom and knowledge of God working FOR us.
We also have the Breadth, the Length, the Depth and Height of the love of Christ on our side.
We can read about that in Ephesians 3:17-19 – this is what it says:
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
How wonderful is that?
We really do have a wonderful Saviour!
Remember– Satan is so much more in earnest than we are. He buys up the opportunity while we are wondering how much it will cost. ― Amy Carmichael
