"he (the devil) is sometimes subtle, sometimes cunning, sometimes disguised, sometimes blatantly open, but always against Jesus Christ and those who have the Spirit of God. he is not like you and me. We have good sense and we understand boundaries. satan has lost all the attributes of the heavenly and knows only those boundaries that God has installed. satan has been with us since the beginning and he is going to be with us until the end of the age. he cannot be destroyed or maimed. he has no feelings, empathy, sympathy or loyalty to anyone, not even those who serve him. he is thrilled at death, sickness, poverty, abortion, war, wickedness, terror, plague, famine, confusion or anything that could keep you and I from the knowledge of the truth. he seeks to corrupt the soul of every human being and relentlessly casts doubt on every truth of God that we tarry in believing.
- he hates the young and the old.
- he seeks to make us sick.
- he seeks to make us poor.
- he seeks to make us fear.
- he seeks to make us worry.
- he seeks to make us give up.
- he seeks to make us sin.
Anything that dishonors God, anything that distracts us from seeking the kingdom of God, anything that keeps us from making a commitment of our life to Jesus Christ, that will he do."
