#74 UNDERSTANDING THE DEVIL (Part 2)

A spiritual war rages between light and darkness for the loyalty of God's children. Our heavenly Father offers us "glory and honor and immortality, eternal life, but in exchange for our commitment to patient continuance in well-doing. By contrast, the god of this world offers us instant gratification. Through subtility, he lures us away by placing every tool and convenience at our disposal. These  appeal to our base appetites:  lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh,  our pride of life."  Why pray for healing if you can pop a pill? Why wait on the Lord to provide when a credit card gives it to us today? To overcome and defeat Satan, we need to understand and recognize him in our lives.
