Devil's Strategies Revealed: Hardness of Heart to Complicity

Shalom to everyone following us on Facebook and YouTube. May the Lord bless you abundantly. We are here once again to continue our mega seminar on the strategies of the devil. We have already reached the 12th episode, and today we will begin with the 56th strategy.

The devil called it hardness of heart. During the meeting, he said to the assistants, "Remember the time of Pharaoh. Although Moses turned water into blood, and despite the death of all the fish, I had hardened Pharaoh's heart." Though the Bible tells us that God hardened Pharaoh's heart, however, in this auditorium, the devil also claimed to have played a part in that hardening.

He then explained his strategy: "We will make sure that human beings refuse to heed our warnings, regardless of the evidence placed before them." Notice that for human beings, for example, when a building is in danger of collapsing, someone warns the occupants that the building has a serious structural problem, yet they refuse to listen, even when the danger is obvious. Their hearts remain hardened.

People will become so hard-hearted that they will refuse to accept advice and warnings. Through this strategy, the devil seeks to make people reject advice and warnings. The devil knows that a person can succeed in life by listening to the advice and warnings of others. He also knows that when someone becomes hard-hearted, they refuse correction, reject counsel, and ignore warnings. Eventually, they suffer the consequences of their stubbornness. The greatest danger is that people eventually suffer the consequences of refusing good advice. These truly are the schemes of the devil.

Let us move on to the 57th strategy. The 57th strategy was called resurgence of the past. During the meeting, the devil declared, "We will make people remember their past." And the devil was explaining his strategies in detail. He spoke about the lives people had lived before becoming Christians, including their past mistakes, sinful habits, and former relationships.

According to his explanation, whenever someone lives a sinful life or commits certain wrongs, those experiences leave impressions in the person's memory. He called these impressions negative images. These images remain in the mind and make it possible for people to remember their past experiences.
