It is not shocking to learn that Satan hindered Paul s planned visit to Thessalonica, because Satan attempted to hinder God s plan of salivation at Jesus s birth killing the new born children at random , during His early ministry the wilderness confrontation , attempting to create confusion and doubt about His resurrection, sowing deception and lies. Jesus knew Satan well, thought His death, resurrection and ascension guaranteed by the Father, He however, He never ceased to humble Himself and pray to the Father until to the end. After all, Jesus was a perfect human as well as a perfect God. He kept the balance with the righteous humility and Deity. Satan does not have days off, at evening, morning, every day, and 24 7, he busy with lays, condemnation, deception, intimidation, and coercion and manipulation. 1 Pet 5: 5-9 is a good reminder of the enemy s character and need for our humility and alertness.

Though satan is defeated by Jesus ' finished work, Heb,2 14 Col.2 15 , there is still a "mopping up " to be done even though the enemy has lost the war! Hell is not satan 's office, he 's the prince of the power of the AIR... Eph.2 1 3 ...he 's not locked up YET... He will occasionally he will pop up his head, but we have authority in Jesus ' Name...Paul 's word are encouraging to us trying to do something for God...bb

I think what is been said is that he paul is been trying to come to brothers to visit or to revive them but satan was preventing that from happening.But through the power of God he succeded cause God can not failed by any forces

in everything you want to do. Or abaut to do there must be an adversary trying to stop you from achieving your goal. Satan knew that the coming of paul will be agreat blessing to the people of thessalonians, so the devil hindered them from comming, so we should always be prayerful and be focus.
