A work that has little opposition from the antagonistic system of Satan is one that is doing little work for the Lord... The devil's greatest opposition is the Lord's greatest work. Author: John MacArthur Source: 1 Corinthians, p. 465. |
Demon possession is a condition in which one or more demons inhabits the body of a human being, and they can at will control that being. Author: John MacArthur Source: Jesus' Power Over the Supernatural. |
When I say, "God is love," what do I mean by it? Why this, that God sent His only-begotten Son that we might have life in Him. We still carry about the old nature; but, blessed be God, many a time as Satan has caught me, he has never destroyed me; there is the propitiation,--I am inside, sheltered by the blood, and forgiven. Author: G.V. Wigram |
We are evidently no friends of Satan. Like the kings of this world, he wars not against his own subjects. The very fact that he assaults us should fill our minds with hope. Author: J.C. Ryle |
Satan puts straws across our path and magnifies it and makes us believe it is a mountain, but all the devil's mountains are mountains of smoke; when you come up to them they are not there. Author: D.L. Moody |
Satan rules all men that are in his kingdom. Some he rules through lust. Some he rules through covetousness. Some he rules through appetite. Some he rules by their temper, but he rules them. And none will ever seek to be delivered until they get their eyes open and see that they have been taken captive. Author: D.L. Moody |

Satan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare. Author: John Owen Source: Meditation on the Glory of Christ, 1684, ch. 15. |
The evil Satan causes is only by the permission of God... It would be unbiblical and irrelevant to attribute to Satan (or sinful man) the power to frustrate the designs of God. Author: John Piper Source: Desiring God, 1996, p. 36 |
As the most dangerous winds may enter at little openings, so the devil never enters more dangerously than by little unobserved incidents, which seem to be nothing, yet insensibly open the heart to great temptations. Author: John Wesley |
Let us look at the world of fallen spirits, at Satan and his hosts. Surely here, if anywhere, are purposes veiled from the eye of God. Here are plans wrapped in thick folds of darkness, away from the sight of the Almighty. But no! God sees it all. The blackest counsels of hell shine as noonday before the understanding of God.
