The Devil's Strategy - Bill Johnson Sermon | Bethel Church

The devil’s strategy is always to use fear to distract, intimidate, and manipulate us out of the great work we are doing for the Lord. In this full sermon, Bill Johnson teaches from Nehemiah, and how he dealt with the strategy of the devil to distract him from building the wall. We are all builders, and the devil uses the same tactics with every one of us. Being aware of his strategy, and strengthening ourselves in the Word and Spirit of God will keep us locked into our calling and identity in Christ and protect us from giving in to fear.

Fear always leads us into sin.

[@daphnezoparimisra9012]

I want to have a personal relationship with Jesus please pray for me

[@andrewhollier4400]

I don't want to leave until I have peace with God and receive his forgiveness for my sins.

[@KingdomIsNow]

The enemy operates through distraction, intimidation, accusation, deception, and manipulation. The devil uses fear to add value to busyness. Fear leads us to draw our identity from a busy schedule, instead of the presence of God. Do not forget the simplicity of devotion to Christ. Know that the enemy has limited strength.

[@lanceroark6386]

That’s what he said.

[@jpjp6499]

" you know I've mentioned to you a few weeks ago we know that we can do nothing without him our real problem is we've learned to do nothing with him " this reminds me of a comment I once heard...." God made man in His image, and man turned around and made God in his image" Pastor Bill is a remarkable teacher!

[@Liviasantos9]

[@vink2]

So true thats why the bible instructs us: Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10-18. Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter chapter 5 verse 8

[@darinhudson6571]

It blatantly exists but you don't want to see it.

[@reg8297]

All humanity are screwed because the devil deceived the hole world thru there suffering in upbringing

[@kitty7644]

Well.. then I guess you’re screwed too.

[@feliciavantrease7942]

You are cool

[@lanceroark6386]

The devil’s greatest scheme is to teach men that God’s eternal law isn’t really eternal but was put away at the cross; that the law was put away on behalf of the whoring bride when nscripture says that the whoring bride was put away on behalf of the law.

[@user-iu8nx1id2z]

I really needed this today. I honestly wanted to kill myself because I can't seem to control myself in public. I get so angry with people and let fly. It's an old PTSD response. Sometimes I get so tired of fighting this fight but then I heard this sermon from Pastor Bill and I know my God is bigger than all of my weaknesses.

[@sandyadams2428]

too much joking and the audience should not be laughing

[@CDeeRogersWright]

Wow!🙏🏾
