Visits from Satan: Arch Enemy of Woman

Gen 3:15 December 29, 2016

A few years ago our fellowship became determined to spend more time in opening our meeting with praise. We also hoped we would be visited more powerfully by the Holy Ghost. We truly coveted the gifts of the Spirit as the Word exhorts us to do. Soon after initiating a more lengthy praise time we had three women utter prophecies in the same meeting. After a short utterance in tongues This interpretation came forth:

“Come and stand before me in my presence, in the beauty of holiness and I will clothe you with righteousness, yea, even my righteousness, and joy and peace and power. Trust me! Fear not what the enemy can do to you, yes, in fact he will harass you but trust me, trust me that I will keep your foot from falling, even though there may be trials. Just come unto me in the beauty of holiness and we shall fight the battle together. Thus saith the Lord”.

Another woman started singing, “Bless the Lord Oh My Soul” and shortly afterwards a second prophetess spoke these words: “Prepare for the battle, be prepared, I give you the full armor. Don’t go out there unprepared. I am with you, I will be victorious. Put on the full suit I have given you. Go out there in faith, filled, knowing I will be with you and that I will be victorious”.

A third woman then confirmed the words of prophecies of the other two; “I shall give you strength. You have no strength at all, but with me you have all the power.”

The next morning I was awakened with a loud, threatening voice shouting: “DAMN WOMAN!” Not plural, women; but singular, woman. It was so loud and real I thought it came from the hall just outside my bedroom. I jumped up and ran to the hall to see who was there. As soon as I got to the stairway I realized it was just one more of Satan’s devices to harass God’s servants. I knew quickly that this fury of Satan was directed at women in general and was ages old. Genesis 3:15 records that God spoke to the “serpent” saying; “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and shalt bruise his heel.”

He was outraged that three women had gotten spiritual gifts the night before. Yet his wrath wasn’t just about those three, but womankind who had brought forth the Savior of the world. That is why his anger was directed at the damn woman and not women.
