When Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future.

Just had time for a simple sketch today, and not a finished piece of artwork. Of course this is not what Satan actually looks like, its just for illustrative purposes only. I was thinking about the lyric “I know how the story ends” (from the song You Already Won by Shane and Shane) and how this is a powerful reminder anytime we are in a spiritual battle.

As seen with Jesus and Satan in the wilderness, the best weapon against the enemy is always God’s Word. The more Scripture we know, the more prepared we are for battle. And I think one of the best strategies is to remind Satan that his story has already been written. And that he will be soundly judged and defeated and God will be victorious.

And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)

And on the flip side, we know how our story ends as well. We will live and reign with Christ forever, and enjoy His presence for all of eternity.

So anytime the devil wants to bring up your past, or discourage you, or try to destroy your testimony, be sure to remind him of “It is written.”
