How the Enemy Mimics God’s Message and How We Can Discern the Real Thing
One of Satan’s greatest strategies is not outright opposition. It is imitation.
The devil has always been a counterfeiter. He takes what God is doing, mimics it, twists it, and then presents it as truth. He did it in the Garden of Eden. He did it through false prophets in Israel. He did it in the early Church. He’s still doing it today.
The enemy understands that most believers won’t follow obvious darkness. Instead, he presents a version of truth that is almost right, but slightly altered. A little compromise. A little distortion. A little mixture.
Paul warned the church about this very thing.
2 Corinthians 11:14 (NKJV)
Notice that Satan doesn’t come dressed like darkness. He disguises himself as light.
Let’s examine ten ways.
1. The Real Message Exalts Jesus, Not Man
Scripture: John 16:14 (NKJV)
“He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
2. The Real Message Produces Repentance
Scripture: Acts 3:19 (NKJV)
3. The Real Message Agrees with Scripture
Scripture: Isaiah 8:20 (NKJV)
4. The Real Message Produces Holiness
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:15-16 (NKJV)
5. The Real Message Requires a Cross
Scripture: Luke 9:23 (NKJV)
6. The Real Message Produces the Fear of the Lord
Scripture: Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV)
7. The Real Message Produces Spiritual Fruit
Scripture: Matthew 7:16 (NKJV)
8. The Real Message Draws People Into God’s Presence
Scripture: Psalm 16:11 (NKJV)
9. The Real Message Stands Against the Spirit of the Age
Scripture: Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
10. The Real Message Endures the Test of Time
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:13 (NKJV)
The enemy has always been a counterfeiter. He counterfeited God’s Word in Eden. He counterfeited miracles through Pharaoh’s magicians. He counterfeited prophecy through false prophets. He counterfeited apostles in the early Church.
That is why discernment is not optional for believers.
1 John 4:1 (NKJV)
The answer is not fear. The answer is not suspicion. The answer is intimacy with Jesus.
Know the voice of God. Know the character of Christ. Know the leading of the Holy Spirit.
