They did it to Christ, claiming he was doing miracles by the devil. The devil is very cleaver, if he can get hateful people to be against good people he counts himself as having a victory. However, he will never have a victory over the born again believer no matter how hard he tries.
Just remember they did it to Christ and they will do it to every believer. If you are not being persecuted in some way, then perhaps you do not belong to Christ.
No matter what you do the devil will find someone to falsely accuse you, malign your character and accuse you of things that you are not doing. He is in the business of twisting minds against the believer who loves the Bible and loves God's principles.
Satan tells lies, blinds the minds of people, makes things look good that are bad, convinces others that believers are evil and mean spirited, he does false signs and wonders to deceive, tempts people to sin, batters believer so they will be silenced and fights against God's plans for us.
The biggest tactic of all the devil uses is to bring others against us with lies and accusations, placing believers on the defensive, diverting our attention from obedience to Christ.
But remember this, he will not win if we ignore his ploys and plots and continue on to obey Christ.
Acts 10:38
"You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."
2 Timothy 1:9 "who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,"
2 Timothy 2:19 "Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
Expect attacks in these last day, many things will come against us, if we know it and who is doing it, then we are more prepared to stand strong. May the Holy Spirit strengthen and empower every believer who follows hard after.
