Peter gives us a three fold description of Satan as 1. Our adversary -- a courtroom term 2. The Devil -- literally 'slanderer' 3. A roaring lion -- desiring to devour
These 3 descriptive nouns are explored through the testing of Job.
This sermon also deals with the deceptions involved in 'deliverance ministries'. The seven sons of Sceva are used by way of illustration to warn us of spiritual deception. The one minute clip offered is an edited version of 4 principles we can discern about demon possession from Acts 19.
Satan is real. Satan is powerful. We must not resort to means that are 'occultic' in nature to do battle with him. Instead, God has given us the means with which to stand, which are found right in this text.
