“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star [KJV: Lucifer], son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!” – Isaiah 14:12. We are in the middle of a spiritual war, and our Enemy, who is known by many names, is always ready to deceive. One of his most insidious of his names is Lucifer, the Morning Star, a name for the planet Venus, which shines brighter than other stars but ultimately pales in comparison to the Sun. In a similar way, Satan as Lucifer has a level of glory and majesty, and though he pales in comparison to God, we must be on our guard to resist his influence whenever it appears.

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.

In the middle of the Korean War, two opposing views arose regarding victory. General Douglas MacArthur urged the US dramatically increase the war effort by invading Communist China. General Omar Bradley, whose opinion was held by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned instead that the real enemy was not China but the Soviet Union. In a famous Senate hearing, Bradley denounced MacArthur’s strategy, declaring, “Frankly, in the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this strategy would involve us in the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong enemy.” As we continue this series on spiritual warfare, it’s vital to make sure we’re fighting the right war, in the right place, at the right time, with the right enemy. Let’s look at 4 questions to ask before going to war.
