The goal of this study is to study the enemy that exists who is a defeated foe. He will be eventually pushed into the lake of fire, but until then roars like a lion to devour as many as he can. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil and gave us authority to cast him out of our lives.

Satan’s Purposes
(nfhy;y> jpUl> mopf;f)
 
Introduction

Satan has three major purposes namely a) to kill, b) to steal and c) destroy. Knowing the tactics of the enemy helps us to overcome the enemy. In this lesson, we will see how Satan tried to kill, steal and destroy the human race. Satan is the longest living thief.

Nahthd; 10:10. jpUld; jpUlTk; nfhy;yTk; mopf;fTk; tUfpwhNdad;wp Ntnwhd;Wf;Fk; tuhd;. ehNdh mitfSf;F [Ptd; cz;lhapUf;fTk;> mJ gupG+uzg;glTk; te;Njd;.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Conclusion

When the disciples went to cast out demons in the name of the Jesus, Satan fell like lightning from heaven. Jesus destroyed him who had the power of death. We can overcome the enemy, through the power that is in the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.

vgpnuau; 2:14. Mjyhy;> gps;isfs; khk;rj;ijAk; ,uj;jj;ijAk; cilatu;fshapUf;f> mtUk; mtu;fisg;Nghy khk;rj;ijAk; ,uj;jj;ijAk; cilatuhdhu;; kuzj;Jf;F mjpfhupahfpa gprhrhdtidj; jkJ kuzj;jpdhNy mopf;Fk;gbf;Fk;>

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

ntsp 12:11. kuzk; NeupLfpwjhapUe;jhYk; mjw;Fj; jg;Gk;gb jq;fs; [PtidAk; ghuhky;> Ml;Lf;Fl;bapd; ,uj;jj;jpdhYk; jq;fs; rhl;rpapd; trdj;jpdhYk; mtid n[apj;jhu;fs;.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
