THE STRATEGIES OF SATAN ARE UNBELIEF

[Prophet Gary Becton]

Deuteronomy 9:23-24
23. Likewise when the Lord sent you at Kadesh- barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 24. Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Once Satan has succeeded in causing Christian to refuse to hear God’s voice by rejecting it altogether, or by falling to respond, he will then try to fill their minds with doubt and unbelief.
God had specifically promised Israel, through Moses, that He would drive out all their enemies and give them the land of Canaan as an inheritance (Deuteronomy 4:38). Yet, when they came to Kadesh-barnea and saw the giants in the land, they were afraid. Instead of listening to God’s voice, they listened to the voices of the spies who said the people were “giants” and were more powerful than they. Moses told them not to be afraid, that the Lord had gone before them and would fight on their behalf (Deuteronomy 1:30). But the Israelites rejected God’s covenant promise and rejected the Word of God given through his prophet, Moses. Their hearts were filled with unbelief. This unbelief was the root cause of their sin. It was their unbelief that prevented them from entering into their Promised Land. Their unbelief was the cause of their hardened hearts and ultimately brought their destruction. Paul said we must examine ourselves to see if we have “an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12). We must recognize unbelief for what it is sin. If we allow any of it to remain in our hearts, it will lead us away from God; it will cause us to disobey Him and, like the children of Israel, we will not be able to see the fulfillment of His promises in our lives.
Paul said we must quench the fiery darts of unbelief with our “shield of faith” (Ephesians 6:16). Our COUNTERATTACK must be to cast these thoughts out the

moment they come into our minds (II Corinthians 10:5). We must not allow them to remain for one moment.
Satan’s strategy against the Church today is to dull our spiritual senses concerning sin. We are living in the days Jesus prophesied iniquity would abound (Matthew 24:12). Satan wants us to turn our backs and ignore the sin that is all around us in the church and in the world. But we Must Not allow our hearts to be hardened against it.
Satan’s strategy is to cause us to become so hardened to the sin around us that we no longer fall on our faces before God and cry out for His mercy for the people who are bound in chains of darkness. He wants us to become so hardened to sin that we fail to see the sins we have allowed to remain in our hearts, unwilling to receive correction and reproof unrepentant.
Our counterattack must be:
1. To take heed to be on guard.
2. To develop a sensitivity to the voice of God.
3. To be willing to hear and respond to His voice.
4. To cast out all unbelief.
5. To walk in obedience.
6. To develop a hatred for sin.
7. To have a repentant spirit. Today if ye will hear His voice, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS” (Hebrews 3:7-8). This is the message we should be preaching, and teaching God’s people today.
People today must go back to the bible basics. Keep their eyes on Jesus and not the cares of the world.

I really enjoyed this post. It truly went to the heart of the matter concerning what's wrong in the Church today.
The COUNTER ATTACK you listed really helped me.
God Bless you Prophet Becton, continue in the spreading of God's truth.
