I believe in the very existence of Satan, (the devil) if you please. I also believe that he was put on this earth after the war in Heaven, to give us a choice. That choice being, we follow Jesus, or we follow Satan. Satan being one of God's creation, as an angel, was kicked out of heaven for his assuming authoritive powers. God still today puts limitaions on satan, as to just how far he can tempt us. If we succumb to satan, we have no one to blame but our self. God made us free moral agents, to make decissions that best suits our needs. Of course the best suited would be to follow God's plan, but old satan is strong in the world today.
Satan comes in many different shapes and forms. Remember in the garden of Eden, he came before Eve as a serpent. He comes to us with that small voice tempting us to do anything against the will of God. I believe after satan convinces us to do wrong, that he then goes before God and points out our mistakes. He shames us before our Father. But God is forgiving and full of mercy. He fights our battles against the evil one if we but allow Him to.
In this day that we live in, satan is working overtime to gather all the souls he can. He does not want God to be the winner any more now, than when he warred against him in heaven. Satan still has the mentality to believe that he is the winner. I cannot say that he is so far fetched on that assumption. Look at our young people, the way they dress. Young girls showing parts of their bodies that should be saved for their wedding night. Young men wearing their pants below their buttocks, with their whole backside showing. Mother's killing their children, men killing their pregnant wives. Drugs run rampant in this world and there seems to be nothing we can do to stop them. There are children having children, giving the little one's away as soon as they are born, or grandparents raise the child, while the young mother continues on in her activities. The music, suggest all sorts of wrong doings. Yet, we as parents allow this to go on in our homes, because of fear. Who then is the author of fear, and lies, and decete? None other than satan. Take a look at the schools, colleges and different organizations across our country. With the backing from the ACLU, God's name is in question on the currency. We are not allowed to use His name for the holidays, we cannot say the Pledge to the Flag. And of course there will be no prayers said in the classroom. Satan orcharistrated all this. He works through
