The Devil Desires You
Luke 22:31-34; 61-62
Theme: For the Follower of Christ to know that Satan cannot possess the Christian, he can oppress him. The Bible teaches that he can defeat, discourage and devour the child of God. To know there is victory in the redemptive power of God!
Statement of Truth:
The Savior and Satan cannot co-exist in a believer’s life any more than light and darkness can fill the same room.
