Satan’s Methods

We’ve seen some specific examples of Satan’s methods, like his deception in the Garden of Eden, and his entering into Judas for the purpose of betraying Jesus. And, in the general information regarding fallen angels, I’ve offered a list of various specific powers and activities associated with Satan and his demons, tools available to him in his pursuit of being like God.

Rather than focusing solely on Satan’s specific methods however, it’s also useful to step back and look at Satan’s methods in a general sense. I believe he has three basic methods to maintain and advance his kingdom: He lies, he holds the lost captive, and he hinders God’s people. Within those basic methods he mixes and matches various specific tools as needed. We’ll look at the three methods in order, beginning with lying.
