“‘The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.’” (source)
“A spiritual war is raging. The apostle Paul says, ‘For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world’ (Ephesians 6:12 nlt).[2] You are in the middle of that war. Whether your heart is peace-loving or warlike makes no difference. You can’t get out of it. You can only choose whether to fight or to be mowed down as a civilian casualty.” (source)
“Jesus defeated Satan in the first place, not by power and force, but by something Satan cannot comprehend: sacrificial love.” (source)
“He never imagined God would come in person, not to punish, but to take his punishment upon himself ! At the same time, the most reliable war-tools in his arsenal, his accusations, were now useless. The cross undeniably demonstrated God’s loving and sacrificial nature. Satan proved himself, not God, to be utterly vindictive and cruel.” (source)
“Satan’s strategy is essentially defensive. He already has his stake in the world, but as the kingdom of God grows, his stake shrinks. Therefore, he guards his turf by trying to keep people from coming under God’s leadership and forgiveness.” (source)
