I had to check this out when I saw your blog title on Bible Gateway. There was no way my post on the same subject would be featured here… so I checked the dates. My post was written August 11th. The reason I am commenting is because I believe this is additional proof that the Holy Spirit is working in the world and drawing believers back to the ‘family compound.’ Is it simple coincidence that we should both write on the same phrase? I don’t think so.
Blessings,
Lynn

Satan is the master of evil. He will rip and shred at every angle of your life because of his hatred for our Lord Jesus Christ. The only way Satan can hurt our Lord, is by stealing our souls from Gods Grace. I am a sinner, I will always be a sinner in this world, but my Lord and Master,Jesus,saved me with his blood and loveing grace. Heaven for me will be the day that I am free from Satans uglyness forever.

yes,I understand today as how far I was from this truth. Blaming Satan for my sin will never be my gaurantee. And from being today I am responsible for my all faults. because Satan has no any power upon me. Thank you. Zelalem

Satan is called the “father of lies” because that is his only weapon, he plants lies into us and the world. That’s plenty for him, as tragically Satan is very successful at getting many, many, many people to fall into eternal damnation.

Each of us makes decisions all the day long. Not all of them have eternal consequences for us in our next lives, but God has given us His Word through the Bible that plainly tells us how He expects us to make the decisions that matter to Him. As part of the sanctification process after we are saved, the Holy Spirit takes residence inside of us and tells us internally what God wants for us to do. However, all Satan needs to do is plant little lies, twist the truth, or confuse us just enough that we make bad decisions.

Fortunately through God’s grace we are forgiven when we stray if we simply ask for forgiveness and repent. That is God’s power over Satan — those who accept Him are forgiven and saved from Satan.
