Title: The Devil Unmasked (5 of 6)
Series: This is War
Author: Jeff Schreve
Text: Acts 13:1-12
If you have your Bible, please turn to Acts chapter 13. I want to speak to you on this subject: "The Devil Unmasked."
Years ago, I heard a story about an usher. He was at the back of the church Sunday morning. People were coming in. And a lady came in. He didn't know who she was. He had never seen her before.

And the way the devil does his work is through deception. He's a liar and the father of lies. And the devil never comes on the scene unless he's wearing a disguise. The only party he attends is a masquerade party. And Paul says in Second Corinthians chapter 11, "Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light; therefore, it's not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness whose end shall be according to their deeds." He disguises himself as an angel of light. Did you ever stop to think about when he came to Eve in the Garden of Eden, why wasn't she afrai ...
