Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Halloween-Real Monsters - #8131
I’m actually talking about that monster in your closet. Not the ones that you used to imagine were in there; the ugly stuff from your past that you’ve tried to keep in a closet where you wouldn’t have to face it. See we’ve all got those monsters, stuff we think is too scary or too shameful to deal with, but that’s a mistake.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Halloween-He's No Joker! - #8130
I’m really grateful that Jesus exposed the single outcome that the devil’s really seeking in every life, including you and your family. He says, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10). Now make no mistake about it, that temptation in front of you, that compromise or detour that looks so good—it’s designed to steal everything you care about and to kill and to destroy any life that matters.

Hebrew The Start of Mans Sadness
Hebrew: Eve is tempted by Satan through the serpent. She takes fruit from the forbidden tree & gives some to Adam, who eats it. This 1st sin brings death. Adam & Eve are sent out of the Garden of Eden, & an angel with a flaming sword guards it. Their 1st son, Cain, kills their 2nd son, Able.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When the Target's on Your Back - #4271
The decapitation strategy makes sense militarily. If you can take out a leader, you've probably neutralized those who look to that leader. It's a strategy the devil has been using for a long time. Jesus knew what a rock, what a leader Simon Peter would one day be for Him. But on the eve of Peter's denial of his Lord, Jesus told him, "Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you..." (Luke 22:31-32) If you're serious about following Jesus, if you're in a position to influence others for Him, you can be sure Satan wants to sift you as wheat.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Banish the Darkness - #4807
Celebrate Jesus and you evacuate the devil, who can't stand even the name of Jesus. Because it is at that name that he and all his demons must one day bow in total surrender, because the devil's death warrant is signed in the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. So in those times when the darkness seems to be closing in, you can literally praise the darkness away.

Swahili A Terrible Time for Jesus
Swahili: Jesus is baptized by John and the Holy Spirit descends on Him like a dove. God says This is My Son. The Holy Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness where He fasts forty days. Satan the devil tempts Jesus 3 times. Jesus defeats him with the Word of God. Angels minister to Jesus.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Who's Holding the Club That's Hitting You - #5277
Satan wants to hit you hard enough that you'll run back to that old habit, that old escape, that wrong relationship, that old attitude. He's trying to drive you onto a spiritual detour like a cattle drover tries to herd his cattle. Once you're on that detour, he knows he can take your farther away from God's plans than you ever dreamed you would go.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Deadly Magic - #3849
So one of the secrets of fooling people is to get them looking at something other than what's really going on. It's a tactic employed by someone with far more sinister intentions than some magician or illusionist - this misdirection ploy is being used to keep a lot of people from going to heaven. Maybe you, or someone you love.
