Resident Evil (II):
What Satan is Doing
 
“Be alert, be on watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (I Peter 5:8, GNT)
 
Strategies of Satan:

Deception
</li>
</ol>
 
“He [Satan] was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44, NLT)
 
“The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman [Eve], ‘Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?’
‘Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,’ the woman replied. ‘It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, “You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.”’
‘You won’t die!’ the serpent replied to the woman. ‘God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.’
The woman was convinced.” (Genesis 3:1-6, NLT)
 
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Temptation
</li>
</ol>
 
“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.” (James 1:14-15, NLT)
 
“Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” (Matthew 26:41, NLT)
 
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Distraction
</li>
</ol>
 
“As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, ‘Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.’
But the Lord said to her, ‘My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.’” (Luke 10:38-42, NLT)
 
“Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise…. Then the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9, NLT)
 
<ol start="4">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Slow Drift

“... we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.” (Hebrews 2:1, NLT)

We all feel it - there is a lot of evil in the world. Behind the suffering, confusion, and struggles we all face, the Bible points to a real enemy working in the background - Satan.

In this four-week series, "Resident Evil," we’re taking an honest look at who Satan is, what he’s doing, and why it matters.
