41. What Satan Hates Most

Welcome to the podcast where we prod the sheep and beat the wolf. This is episode 41, what

Satan hates most. There are two equal and opposite errors in which our race can fall about the devils.

One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.

They, themselves, are equally pleased by both errors, and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.

C .S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters. If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not your enemy, for every victory you will also suffer a great defeat.

But if you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

Between these two quotes, there exists a very powerful point as it relates to Satan and the demonic realm.

We must not dismiss, obsess, or live in ignorance of our greatest foe. Instead, as good soldiers of the living

Christ, we must understand who our enemy is, what he hates most, and where that hatred is aimed in our society today.

A Crash Course on Satan In the spirit of knowing our enemy well, here's a bare -bones summary of the

Prince of Darkness. He is called the Devil, the Dragon, a Deceiver, the

Serpent, the Prince in Power, the Heir, and the God of this World, an Angel who is in charge of the

Abyss. He is chief among the fallen devils who were cast out of heaven for their rebellion against God.

Originally, he was made as the most beautiful of all the angelic hosts, and he became the father of narcissism, enamored with his own beauty, a megalomaniac who wanted to elevate his throne above the throne of the living

God. He and his entire horde of demonic minions were cursed to slither along the face of the earth like a starving pack of famished lions seeking whomever they may devour.

He is morally corrupted and evil to the rotten core. He is a pathological liar and has been a murderer from the very beginning.

He is a seditious schemer, a slanderer extraordinaire, and all of this along with the fact that he disguises himself as an agent of light while secretly planning your demise.

That is who Satan is. In regard to what Satan does, he is ever working in opposition to the people of God.

He attempts to thwart angelic aid dispatched to us in time of need, and he stands vigorously in defense of all of God's purposes, against God's written word and spoken word, and against even

God's righteousness. He works for the exploitation of human weakness.

He labors incessantly to ensure that we fall away from God, and along with all of this, he is the chief accuser of humanity before the throne of God, what

Satan hates most. When you take all of these verses in Scripture as a whole, you begin to see a malevolent spiritual being who salivates in searing hatred against humanity.

After this dazzling creature was cast from the halls of heaven, God knelt down in the dust of the earth to craft a new being, a being that would rule over and defeat

Satan. As Satan stood from a distance, he watched with perfect hatred that God would design such a feeble creature to be the one that rules over him.

The purest form of disgust washed over him as God imprinted his glorious image upon the soul of man.

Blind fury consumed him as God breathed his life -giving breath into the lungs of Adam. Jealousy gripped the fallen spirit's heart as man and woman, embodied creatures with an immaterial soul, communed in paradise with their

God, a pastime that the cursed and fallen angel had once enjoyed. With the envy of a teenage girl whose darling former sugar muffin was now dating her bestie,

Satan was driven into compulsive hatred. His jealousy propelled him into an unrelenting war against the man and against the woman.

He placed the crosshairs of his ire squarely on the shiny new couple and all of their offspring forever.

As man had been sculpted from the dust, Satan took on the body of a slithering serpent and snaked his way into the garden to eliminate them.

Through his cunning and craftiness, he succeeded. He tricked the man and woman into vacating their throne, abdicating their crown, and being subject to his cruel form of slavery and death forever.

Like prisoners of war, Lucifer gleefully tortured the race of man, laughing every time they squealed, concentrating the lion's share of his wrath to be aimed right at the epicenter of their purpose.

Since man was made to be fruitful and multiplying, ruling and subduing, and to be the extenders of God's dominion, all across the face of the earth,

Satan attacked right there. He attacked their fruit.

He made them divisive, weak, and subjugated agents. Instead of building up the kingdom of God, he enlisted them in the service of building up his kingdom.

Since man were made to be leaders in their homes, to hold fast to the commands of God, Satan convinced him to be weak, pathetic, passive, and disinterested in the things of God.

Since woman was made to joyfully submit to her husband, build her home, and bear much fruit, Satan worked tirelessly to convince her and all the daughters of Eve to oppose her husband, abandon her home, and abandon her motherly instincts.

We must remember that it was Satan who came first to the woman, to Eve, the one who would bear the race of serpent -crushing men.

Under the influence of this unclean spirit, it was her son Cain who butchered the first human life, killing his brother in a fit of rage.

It was the serpent -wearing Pharaoh who called for all of the male children of Israel to be murdered in the

Nile. It was the serpent -worshiping people of Canaan who threw their children into the flames of Moloch, and it was the maniac despot

Herod who worshiped the Lord of Darkness by killing all of the infants in the small town of Bethlehem.

Throughout the Bible, Satan has been attacking the race of men, stealing, killing, and destroying everything that man was called by God to do and be—the glorious serpent -crushing

Christ. While the epic of creation imploded into a fantastic loss, the irony of the gospel showed itself to be sweeter than European locust honey.

For from the race of man a deliverer surely came, born of woman, God with us.

He came when all the dreams of rescue were fading like stars on a cloudy sky at just the right time.

The true Adam, serpent -crushing Christ named Jesus, landed on the shores of earth to bring the war to Satan and his kingdom.

Jesus Christ came bringing an invasion to inaugurate his counter -kingdom of rescue, delivering men and women from their slavery and sin so that this newly -bought, blood -bought people would be brought back into the fight and to take the world back from the devil who stole it.

If you're a Christian, then you've been freed from the concentration camps of Baphomet to take up the bayonet of Christ.

You've been forgiven your treasons, your insurrections, and your rebellions. You've been absolved of your cowardice and purified of all your fears, and you have been brought into a holy army, made into a soldier, called along with the others to be fruitful in Christ, to multiply for Christ, to rule the world on behalf of Christ, to subdue it for the glory of Christ, to extend his dominion to the ends of the earth so that every square inch bears his name.

As we take back territory, we are promised that the sulfuric gates of hell will come tumbling down.

And in this life, we are called to make war with the accuser of our soul and to attack all of the areas where he is still terrorizing the race of man.

To that end, let us examine where the enemy is waging all -out war today and let us gird up our loins for battle.

Today's Manifestation of Satanism Considering how fervently

Satan hates godly women, men, wives, husbands, children, fruitful and multiplying marriages, should we really be surprised that this is still the epicenter of where he is attacking us today?

Nothing has changed. The same stinking wretch who inspired the Pharaoh to throw Israel's babies in the

Nile is the same villain who motivated Margaret Sanger to create Planned Parenthood.

He actively is fueling the abortion industry, women's rights lobbyism, absent fatherism, and lawmakers who fight to protect our local chapters of Auschwitz where serial killers and medical gowns butcher and torture our babies.

He is the one championing the perversion of our teens, luring them like mice to the slaughter with a rainbow -colored flute.

He salivates when adults surgically remove our daughters' breasts and chemically castrate our boys.

He cheers on the free sex hookup culture that destroys a person's capacity for meaningful covenantal monogamy.

He is behind every pervert filming, producing, and posting every sexual perversion that goes online.

He is lord over the fingernail -painted sissy who's grooming your children on YouTube. He is the guiding hand behind the morning -after pill that kills the race of man, condoms that prevent the race of man, family planning that perverts the race of man.

He is the one who convinced couples to have more dogs than children and to view fruitful families as selfish and as a nuisance to society.

He is the real author of China's one -child policy and the inspiration for the Georgia Guidestones.

He is the founder of the eugenics movement and the reason population control keeps being littered and dropped like seeds in our media.

He is the reason our education system avoids teaching logic and knowledge and focuses instead on victimhood, critical race theory, societal slights, and twerking drag queen story hour in the faces of our children.

And sadly, he is that slithering serpent who has found his way into the camp of God, the church, convincing

Christians to avoid having children or to fail in discipling the ones they have because our catechized covenant children are the greatest enemy to Satan and they spell out his perfect doom, our family -focused warfare.

To know our enemy, we must understand that Satan hates more than anything else a godly, covenantal, fruitful, multiplying, child -discipling marriage.

We know that Christ will come and put an end to all of this by throwing

Satan in the lake of fire and that is Christ's work, but we also know that he has given us work.

We must understand that our act of war cannot be to adopt our culture's child -hating, population -controlling, family -planning, satanic ethic.

As Christians, we must believe and accept and adopt the all -sufficient word and what it says for our families and the plan for them and the numerous children that it really are a blessing, that a man and woman really are blessed when their quivers are filled full of sons and daughters, and remember that our purpose on earth is to be fruitful, to multiply, to fill the world with warrior -worshippers who rule over and put down that wriggling dragon of old.

As Christians, the weapon of our warfare are not all that complicated, although in this generation they are quite controversial.

If we establish a norm that large, fruitful, multiplying, glorifying families are what the

Bible is talking about and then we catechize our children in the faith and then remove them from the serpent's schools where they're indoctrinated according to the culture's ideology, and if we brought them to God -glorifying churches who raised our boys to take dominion for Christ and our girls to build up holy cathedrals in her living rooms, then we would see the empire of the dragon dwindling at a rate that none of us have ever seen before.

The Bible casts that sort of vision. The question is, do we have the courage to follow it?

A reformation through tears. At the start of any reformation, there will be lots of tears.

Before we can move forward, we need to take a taste of the bitter pill from which we came. Some reading a post like this have children who've already left home and denied the faith, and I know the pain that you feel must be gut -wrenching.

Some are single and cannot find a godly spouse, and for you the loneliness is deafening. Others cannot conceive children at all, and the baredness of your womb reverberates across your soul in a way that I can't even imagine.

My heart in writing this post is not to burden you, but to be a rally cry for reformation.

If your child has left the faith, today is the day to pray for his or her salvation.

Don't sit in your sadness and the emotions that you're feeling. Beg the Lord over your child's soul while there's still time.

Give those affections and those hurts and those bruises to Jesus Christ and cling to the sovereign

Lord for His comfort and His grace. If you're single and you're frustrated that you cannot find a faithful spouse, do not compromise your convictions.

Don't lower your standards to find a warm body who will give you pleasure. Give your plight over to the

Lord. Trust Him that He loves you and He wants you to have good gifts and to wait on the man or the woman who will walk with you in biblical fidelity instead of settling for capitulations and compromises.

When that spouse comes into your life, you will be equally yoked, and you will be fruitful and you will multiply with them, but don't compromise.

If you can't conceive a child, then your experience is one of the most visceral aches that a human heart could ever feel.

While everyone on earth could understand your despair, I would challenge you, according to Holy Scripture, to give your heart and your pain over to Christ.

Don't identify with your suffering and ask the Lord how you could be involved in this warfare with a broken body.

You can. For instance, beyond all of the spiritual and tangible ways that you can serve the

Lord in this culture, you can also adopt unwanted children into your home, since this pictures the gospel more clearly than anything else

I know. You and I were the unwanted child that God scooped up into his loving arms and brought us into his home, and he made us new in his love.

If you cannot have children, or even if you can, adoption is beautiful.

It is a God -glorifying option that puts you right into the very center of the fight. If you're a married believer and you're within the age of child -rearing, do not delay pregnancy for goals, for education, for entertainment, for finances, for freedom, or for whatever other lie the enemy is propagating to you.

Husbands, love your wives and fill her home with the noise of beautiful children.

Wives, raise your children up to grow up and threaten the devil's domain. Have large families and build our

Lord and Master's kingdom from within. That legacy will long outlive and survive whatever other accomplishments that you can string together.

Conclusion, Satan hates godly, fruitful, multiplying, ruling, and subduing families.

He hates the church that is actively attempting to take back territory from his kingdom, and he hates most fiercely covenant

Christians who catechize their children. Knowing this, let us not abandon evangelism.

Let us not abandon discipleship. Let us not forget the means of grace, but let us also not have a low view of the family and covenant children.

Perhaps the Lord would use such a movement to scare the hell out of this society, beginning in New England and then spreading to the nations.

Amen. Thank you so much for tuning into the podcast. This was a special episode that we deviated away from the

Eschatological series because this is our one -year anniversary today. We've been doing this for one whole year.

I'm so thankful for everyone who's listening, everyone who is supporting this, praying for me, praying for this content.

So we wanted to do something special today, and this was the post that God laid on my heart. I think we're in war.

I think the warfare is strong, and I think Satan is attacking in specific ways. That's marriages, family, masculinity, femininity, children, all of that.

So this post was birthed out of that. And if anything else, I hope

I've encouraged you to fight and to fight in the ways that God has given us to fight. Until next time,
