In my sermon, I emphasized the importance of understanding that Satan was never in control, he was defeated from the beginning, as stated in Genesis chapter 3. I stressed that the battles we face are not direct attacks from Satan, but rather the effects of his kingdom, the seeds of doubt he planted in our minds in Eden. I also addressed the feelings of oppression and abuse that many people experience, explaining that these feelings often stem from our own poor decisions and past relationships, not from external forces.
I encouraged my congregation to rise above these feelings of oppression and abuse, to stop putting themselves down and to turn to the author of their faith. I reminded them that they are more than their past relationships and that they can have better relationships in the future. I urged them to realize the promises that God has for them and to live in the victory that He has already won for them.
