Satan’s motive is to make a mockery of God’s creation, humankind, to blatantly disrespect the Lord right to his face by using us as vessels of immorality & wickedness before the very eyes of our creator. His intent is to inflict insult, injury, suffering & humility in attempt to crush the heart of the heavenly father by way of coaxing his very own children to disobey his word. Simply by nature & born into a world of sin we willfully & voluntarily run to aid & abide by his insidious proposals as he veils\u00a0 destruction, shame, disgrace & dishonor with wealth, possessions, pleasures & popularity. He would want to greatly convince us that God could never want us much less love us & for the most part sadly our selfish actions serve as evidence to the testament of our own convictions to confirm that we do in fact believe him. Though he was created by the Lord above for no other purpose except so that we might be given an opportunity through the tests of faith to express & prove for our Father in heaven the depth of our love. In all this the devil is not only a master of liars, thiefs, murderers & cheats among other things but contrary to much belief he is a non-factor in the site of God. It is why he was cast down & it’s hell on earth everywhere just open your eyes to take a look around. Though he may be keen & cunning there is nothing that exceeds the glory from the Holy spirit. You see it’s not about what the devil does to torment us while we’re here on earth it is only about what our hearts, minds, intentions, desires & actions compel us to be or do. Jesus will never leave our side but our the way we live our lives determines how close we are to him or how close the presence of the Lord can be. He is the all powerful & almighty however as darkness is nothing more than the absence of light, good & evil cannot dwell within the same facility nor may holiness & sin reside in the same vicinity… When you’re doing what’s right it will not be easy!!! You will know it because the devil will do any & everything to show you everything going wrong in order to discourage you.<\/p>\n
