Triumph

The apostle Paul, in a passage in 2nd Corinthians 2, addresses the notion of triumph in Christ and identifies how the enemy will try to thwart the plan of God. He writes:
10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

So, he notes that unforgiveness is a "device" used by the enemy to damage our relationship with the Lord. But, there's more - the enemy tried to slap discouragement on the apostle:
12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,
13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.

But, he relates a sense of triumph in the Lord:
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

There is a man from South Africa who once led a Satanic Church, but that's all changed now, and he's issuing warnings about the dangers of worshipping the devil. CBN has reported that...

...Riaan Swiegelaar, a former reverend at the South African Satanic Church (SASC), stepped down from his position in May 2022 but recently revealed on social media why he has decided now is the time to reveal what is "behind the curtains" of the satanic church.

The article said:

As CBN News previously reported, Swiegelaar was involved in some form of Christian ministry 20 years ago before becoming an atheist. He then turned to Satanism in 2018.

"I got involved with Satanism because at the time it resonated with me, being very broken and sad without realizing it. I think the reason a lot of people resonate with Satanism is they come from a very broken place... that's the one thing we all have in common," he shared in a video in 2022.

Swiegelaar explained that he renounced Satanism after experiencing the unconditional love of Jesus Christ.

He's been hard at work since becoming a Christian, working to "deregister" the SASC, along with other founders of that church, who have also left Satanism.  Swiegelaar has been under multiple restraining orders since 2022, and has been "legally barred" from speaking publicly about his experiences in Satanism.

But, that's all changed now, and he is committed to speaking the truth and helping people break free from the occult, including Satanism.  His aim is apparently not to reveal individuals, but to do battle in the Spirit.  He says:

"I don't feel that our war is against physical people. I feel our war is in spirit and what God has revealed to me is that we are in a time where it is crucial," he explained. "We are living in the time of (the book of) Revelation. So it is time to put this information out in a very respectful way," he shared.

"We will equip spiritual warriors to handle and understand the devil's battle plan," he added.

The article notes: 

The South African native says it is "all in God's timing" for him to create content now that will teach people how to overcome schemes of the enemy – especially young people.

"I no longer have an official NDA in place and I'm allowed to make content again and post videos," Swiegelaar shared.

"My intent is not to expose individuals or to make their identities known. My intent is to inform the public of what Satanism is and what is really going on in our country and in the world and also how certain people, especially the youth are being targeted to be involved in the occult and Satanism and what the satanic agenda really is," he added.

One thing that comes to mind is that we have to identify the right enemy - the devil himself who influences and deceives people to do his bidding. If we regard people as the enemy, we can lose sight of the fact that they are individuals who can come to know the Savior.  The Bible instructs us to love our enemies.  The love of God can break the bonds of deception and hate. 

We also have to recognize the power that the enemy has over individuals - including ourselves.  Satan uses a variety of strategies to bring fear, anger, and despair into our lives. If we're not careful, if we're not staying spiritually sharp, we will succomb to what He wants to accomplish, and that is to damage our relationship with God and our witness for the Kingdom.  He wants to take us out, but God has given us the power in order to overcome Him.  We have to recognize His schemes, resist temptation, and embrace the triumph that Christ has come to bring about in and through us.
