When Satan attacks you financially, Warfarew follows

Morning to all my brothers and sisters in Christ around the world,


Today, we are going to explore a crucial aspect of our spiritual journey: the attacks we face in our finances. It's imperative to recognize that these struggles are not merely earthly challenges but often manifestations of spiritual warfare.


The Bible warns us that our adversary, Satan, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). One of the battlegrounds where he launches his assaults is our finances.


Let us delve into the Word of God to understand how Satan attacks us financially and how we can overcome these trials with the strength and protection of our Heavenly Father.



In the Book of Job, we witness Satan's direct assault on Job's wealth, health, and family. Job was a righteous man, yet he faced immense suffering orchestrated by Satan. Likewise, in our lives, Satan often targets our finances to create chaos and despair. He does this through various means:


There are many ways Satan and His demons will attack us. I am going to talk about three ways that Satan attacks


1. Temptation to Greed and Materialism:


15:27 warns us, "He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house." Satan entices us with the allure of material possessions, leading us to prioritize wealth over spiritual well-being. This obsession with wealth can result in financial ruin and spiritual emptiness.


2. Deception and Fraud:


Proverbs 20:17 cautions, "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward, his mouth will be filled with gravel." Satan deceives individuals into unethical practices, fraud, or dishonesty in pursuit of financial gain. These actions not only harm others but also invite God's judgment upon us.


3. Fear and Anxiety:


Psalm 37:21 reminds us, "The wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous shows mercy and gives." Satan instills fear and anxiety regarding financial matters, leading us to make impulsive decisions or fall into despair. This fear cripples our faith and hinders God's provision in our lives.


The repercussions of financial attacks extend beyond monetary loss. They strain relationships, cause stress, and diminish our trust in God's providence.


Many among us may be experiencing these challenges firsthand, feeling overwhelmed by debt, unemployment, or economic uncertainty.


Amidst these trials, we find solace in God's promises and provision. Psalm 34:10 assures us, "The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing." By diligently seeking God, we invite His blessings and protection over our finances.


We can Defeate Satan with God's Word and wear the whole armor of God!


Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. To combat Satan's attacks, we must arm ourselves with the Word of God. There are many ways to do this, but today, I am going to discuss three key areas.


1. Trust in God's Provision:


Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our understanding. When faced with financial challenges, let us surrender our worries to God, trusting that He will provide for our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).


2. Practice Financial Stewardship:


Proverbs 21:20 teaches us, "There is desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it." By practicing wise financial stewardship—budgeting, saving, and giving—we honor God with our resources and guard against Satan's schemes.


3. Seek Godly Counsel:


Proverbs 15:22 advises, "Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established." When facing financial challenges, seek guidance from mature believers or financial advisors who align with biblical principles.



Brothers and Sisters around the world, as we navigate the complexities of life, let us remain steadfast in our faith, knowing that God is our ultimate protector and provider.


Though Satan may seek to disrupt our finances, we stand firm on God's promises, knowing that He who is in us is greater than He who is in the world (1 John 4:4).


May we face every financial trial with courage, armed with the Word of God and strengthened by the power of prayer.


Let us trust in His faithfulness, knowing that He will deliver us from every scheme of the enemy.


May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
