This is the Live Broadcasting of Tuticorin Conference - 2015 from 15th January 2015 to 17th January 2015 Theme: God’s Message for this time
Summary
The speaker advises against blaming Satan or the devil for every misfortune, emphasizing that many struggles stem from the curse on the Earth or personal carelessness. He draws from 1 John 2 to discuss spiritual growth, noting that while physical age progresses, spiritual maturity requires actively reading the Bible and resisting temptation. The core message is that overcoming Satan involves recognizing that temptation itself is not sin, but consenting to it is.
Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Do not blame the devil for everythingMany sicknesses and difficulties are the result of living in a fallen world rather than direct attacks from Satan, and believers are surrounded by a wall of protection.
Three stages of spiritual growthSpiritual age is different from physical age, moving from children to young men who overcome the evil one, and finally to spiritual fathers.
Temptation is not sinEven the worst thoughts can come to holy individuals, but rejecting them immediately means no sin has been committed, much like birds flying over your head.Matthew 4:9
How to overcome SatanThe devil often tempts people with small compromises rather than major sins, making it vital to recognize and resist early.
Recognizing indirect temptations and stopping blameSatan often uses other people to lead believers astray and prompts people to blame others instead of judging themselves.
Judge yourself instead of othersInstead of focusing on the faults of others or blaming the devil, believers should examine their own hearts and remove the log from their own eye.
The Christian ABC: Learning to say I am sorryTrue humility involves readily admitting mistakes and asking for forgiveness, even when it is not strictly your fault or when dealing with younger people.
