Reading the Strategy of Satan and How to Defeat Him
Identyify the different ways that God allow us /permits us to suffer

Read the Scriptures, Meditate on the Scriptures and Memorized Them'
We are on Chapter 2- Finish Reading Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - The Destroyer
Old Testament Example: Job  (pg 380 of 1830) on my Kindle
2.1  Satan's target: your body
2.2  Satan's weapon: Suffering
2.3  Satan's purpose: to make you impatient with God's will
2.4  Your Defense:  the imparted grace of God
Note:  There will be a test at the end of Chapter 2

2.1 (390 of 1830) on my Kindle

Be of sober spirit, be on the aleart.  Your adversary, the devil prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat"  Luke 22:31

"They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon [Destruction], and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon [Destroyer].  Revelation 9:11

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.  Matthew 12:22

So the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, he [Job] is in your power, only spare his life." Job 2:51

Note:  If Satan cannot defeat you by deceiving your mind, he will then try to destroy your body.  As the serpent, he deceives; as the lion, he devours.  If we believe his lies, then we will destory ourselves.
