Signs of Satan
Satan is not the opposite of God. (Job 1:16) Satan is under the authority of God and man. (Matthew 4:1) (1 John 5:18) Satan cannot force people to act. (Acts 26:18) Satan cannot read our minds. He only knows what we speak. (Isaiah 40:28, 1 Kings 8:39, Psalm 94:11) Satan does not know the future. He only knows what he has been told. (Isaiah 46:9-10) Satan does not know your mission or dream.

Colossians 3:16 – Let the Word of God richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. God’s Word has an answer for EVERYTHING! Today, look to God’s Word for your answer. Remember to ask G
