Yes, Satan is real. He is very real, and it is not very hard to tell this. All you have to do is take a look at the world today. It doesn't matter if you follow Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or any other religion, you cannot deny the fact that Satan is real.

Satan and his demons may not be physically real, but they are spiritually, and they do manifest people. When they take over people, they are real, phisical beings. Satan is out to get us. He is everywhere and we cannot avoid him. We must overcome the temptations he throws at us. We must be able to see and avoid his lies and twisted truths. We must be able to recognize his evil presence.

God did not intend for people to go crazy, commit suicide, or any other evil things like these. Those situations are definently influenced by Satan. I am not trying to offend anyone or make anyone mad, I am just stating what I feel about this situation. People who are mentally insane lose control of their lives because of Satan. People who commit, or attempt for that matter, suicide have struggles. They are being controlled by Satan and cannot help it.

It takes love and understanding to truly help these people. They are going through so much that we cannot even imagine. Satan is also involved in most people's lives. He tempts us with drugs, alcohol, sexual desires, malice, hate, jealousy, and many other things on a day to day basis. We must overcome these temptations. These things are abused and used in the wrong ways. That is how Satan twists things to make them look normal.

We cannot deny the fact that there are evil people in this world. Satan has manifested himself so much in their lives that they cannot change by themselves. They need the help of others. I cannot believe the pain and struggles Satan puts people through. We must not conform to his evil ways. His negative influence will destroy us. That is his goal, our ultimate destruction. We must not let Satan win.

Simply changing the channel when bad commercials come on is a victory. When I say bad, I mean the kind of bad that Satan is working through. I am not refering to a poorly made commercial.

When you are angry, just letting things go is another victory over Satan. It is ok to be angry, but when we hurt others and damage property, that is where things are taken too far. That is letting Satan negatively influence us. I feel like we can all do something to change and to see more victories over Satan every day.
