Defeating Satan

Here is an outline from a message I heard preached by Ron DeGarde at the WILDS camp during summer 2008.

Satan is aimed for us!!
Luke 22:31
1 Peter 5:8
Matthew 26:41

I) Warning Signs of our Enemy
A)After a spiritual victory
Joshua 7:1 (The Israelites had just had a great victory, but then sinned.)
B)When you're all alone
Numbers 32:23 (What you do when you're all alone will eventually be found out.)
C)When you're physically weak
Matthew 4:2 (Satan tempted Jesus when he was weak.)

II)Weapons of our Enemy (2 Corinthians 2:11)
A) Lust of the flesh
B) Pride of Life
C) Lust of the eyes (Ephesians 5:11)

III)The Weakness of our Enemy (This is the important part! It tells us how to overcome Satan!)
A) Scripture/God's Word
Meditate and Memorize God's Truth to defeat Satan!

So, in order to defeat Satan we need to follow the principle of Psalm 119:11 and "hide God's Word in our hearts, so as not to sin against Him."
