The devil is a liar, and a murderer. Jesus said he has been that way from the beginning, and He ought to know. The devil’s motive is murder, and his method is lying. He wants to kill your happiness, murder your purity, and destroy your spiritual life.

How will he accomplish all of this? He will get you thinking severely about God. He wants you to think that God is just out to kill all your fun. The devil wants you to think skeptically about God. He wants you to doubt God’s word. The devil wants you to think superficially about God. He wants you to laugh at God’s judgment, and ignore His commands. The devil wants you to think suspiciously about God. He suggested to Eve that God was holding out on her, and he does the same today.

God wants you to defeat the devil. Do not fall for his lies; rather depend on God’s truth. You can overcome the devil. Just believe in God and His word. Your faith will win out.
