In 1856, Algeria had been a French colony for 26 years, long enough for Algerians to begin thirsting for freedom. Revolutionary talk spread through influential local shamans who claimed to have supernatural power guaranteeing victory. But the hoped for rebellion was not to be. In the end, the trickery and deception of a French magician convinced the people that France was a power they could not beat. The result? Another century of bondage. Satan, the Father of Lies, understands full well the incredible power of deception to manipulate, influence, and keep you in bondage. Jesus promised freedom, but we can’t afford to be ignorant of his lies.

Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu wrote in The Art of War, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” Too many of us today aren’t aware of the full victory that is ours through Jesus’ death on the cross, and we’re even more clueless about this enemy of ours, referred to in the Bible as Satan, the Enemy, the Adversary, the Accuser, the Devil, the Thief, and many more.
