One of the key elements in any contest is to understand the tactics of your opponent and to recognize the subtleties of the strategy or moves they may employ. In the spiritual battle of life we need to develop some sophistication in recognizing, naming, and understanding the subtleties of common tactics of the Devil...........
Without much ado here are the ways the devil decieves us.



1.He may slander God to you in order to cast doubt on God’s goodness and shipwreck your faith (Gen 3:4-5).
2.He may tempt you to deceive others in order to create, or maintain, the impression of being more spiritual (Acts 5:3; Jn 8:44).
3.He may corrupt your mind and steer you away from the simplicity of Christ and His gospel (2 Cor 11:3).
4.He may hinder [cut in on, as in a race] your gospel witness and steal it from unsuspecting hearts (1 Thess 2:18; Matt 13:19).
5.He may wrestle against you, fighting against your progress in Christ (Eph 6:12).
6.He may tempt you to commit sexual immorality against your spouse as a result of neglecting the intimacy of the marriage bed (1 Cor 7:5).
7.He may harass you with some form of fleshly affliction (2 Cor 12:7).
8.He may blind the spiritual eyes of your unsaved family, friends, and neighbors so that they may not see the glory of Jesus in the gospel (2 Cor 4:4).
9.He may keep your unsaved acquaintances in bondage to sins that hinder them from coming to God (Gal 4:.
10.He may smite you with physical disease (Luke 13:16; Job 2:7).
