Recap From Last Week: What We Learned:
• The Bible teaches us not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices (2 Cor. 2:11); that means being educated concerning his weaponry and his demonic hierarchy.
• We learned that Fear (Grk.-Phobos) is a spirit. It is THE master spirit used by Satan in his demonic hierarchy (Chief Principality).
• First manifestation of this notorious spirit occurred in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:1)• We learned that it operates primarily through four ways:
• Thoughts• Lies• “Gates” (Eyes, Ears, Senses, etc.)• Events
