Three Things satan Hates

There are three things satan hates:

• A praising church
• A praying church
• A church where God’s word is the authority

satan hates these because there is nothing the satan can do against such a church. satan’s lies have no room in such a church.

A praising church – when you are praising and worshiping God, it is impossible to be ungrateful. When you are focused on all that God has already done for us in Jesus, everything we encounter pales in comparison. The more we praise and worship God, the more we come to realize that our God is WORTHY of worship and praise.

A praying church – a church that prays stands in the gap between the world as it is and the world as God intends it to be. Few things scare satan more than a church that will stand in that gap declaring God’s promises for this world. A church who prays is a church who commits to God’s Kingdom plan for this world. The more we pray, the more we find ourselves invested in God’s Kingdom.

A church where God’s word is the authority – now, that’s a church where the lies of the devil have no room or opportunity to penetrate. The devil’s lies cannot find a foothold in a church where God’s word rules. When a church commits to God’s authority in his word, and commits to doing what God says simply because God said it, the devil has no footing. God’s church grows where God’s word flows.
