Just waiting for the Rapture at this point!
Are You an Accuser?
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Are you an accuser? Sadly, too many Christians would have to answer yes to this question. What then is an accuser? Webster’s dictionary defines the word accuse this way, “To charge with a fault or offense”. According to Revelation 12:10 Satan accuses us day and night. So if Satan does this day and night, he must think it is important. So why then would Satan think this is important, what is his purpose?
I believe these are some of his motives.
Another point is that we should never accuse someone’s intentions. Only God knows what motivates someone or why they did what they did. Sometimes even the person themselves does not know why they did what they did. Most often people are motivated to do bad things by outside influences like demons. This is not to say they cannot help themselves, but just that the initial idea or motivation came from a demon.
The first step to not accusing is to stop judging. You must first judge someone in your mind to be guilty before you accuse them.

I believe these are some of his motives.
- To convince everyone including God and the angles through deception that we are not worthy of eternal life. But we are worthy, because we are washed in the blood of Jesus.
- To cause strife between both the one whom he accuses and all who hear the accusations.
- To create low self esteem which limits and at times stops any forward progress for the accused. Like spreading the Gospel fro example.
