Inspirational Quotes on Satan

“The best thing for the saint to do is to claim the victorious name of the Lord Jesus over every onslaught of the enemy.”

“Sometimes Satan provokes us to harden our spirit. It can become stiff, unyielding, narrow and selfish. Such a spirit cannot work with God nor can it do His will.”

“Often Satan injects pride into the believer's spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God's work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.”

“To assure victory we need to watch even the sound of our speech. Immediately the evil spirit touches our spirit, our voice loses its softness. A harsh, hard, and shrill utterance does not spring from the Holy Spirit; it simply exhibits the fact that the one who speaks has been poisoned already by Satan.”

“The mind suffers the onslaughts of the powers of darkness more than any other organ of the whole man.”

“Why is the Christian's mental life so beset by evil spirits? This can be answered in one sentence: believers afford the evil spirits (or the devil) the opportunity to attack.”

“The devil abhors light and truth because these remove the ground of his working.”

“It is true that Satan often uses the flesh to secure the consent of man, yet in each instance of enticement the enemy creates some kind of thought by which to induce the man. We cannot separate temptation and thought. All temptations are offered us in the form of thoughts. Since the latter are so exposed to the power of darkness, we need to learn how to guard them.”

“Should anyone allow his head to cease thinking, searching, and deciding and to no longer check his experience and action against the Bible, he is practically inviting Satan to invade his mind and deceive him.”

“All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.”

“The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.”

“Again, Satan will ask the Christian what was the time of his conversion. Art thou a Christian, will he say, and dost thou not know when thou commencedst? Now content thyself with this, that thou seest the streams of grace; you may know the sun is up, though you did not observe when it rose.”

“When Satan finds the good man asleep, then he finds our good God awake; therefore thou art not consumed, because he changeth not.”

“The thing that makes us know that this "latter rain" that is flooding the world with the glory of God is of the Lord, is because the devil is not in such business.”

“Satan so hates the genuine praise of Christ that his fiery darts of discouragement are not effective against us when we respond in praise.”

“The memories Satan selects never reflect the way it really was.”

“When God lifts you up, Satan can never put you down.”

“We see now why the great target of Satan is to break down our faith. He knows all too well that the righteous live by faith, so he aims at cutting our lifeline to God. Faith is like the hand that reaches up to receive what God has freely promised. If the devil can pull your hand back down to your side, then he has succeeded. All of God's intended supply will just stay where it is in heaven.”

“Satan wants us to focus on the problem, not the Provider. He constantly points to what seems to be rather than to what God has promised to do. If we stop spending time with the Lord in prayer, the concerns of the physical world snatch our attention and dominate us, while the spiritual senses deaden and the promises fade. I am absolutely convinced that the number one reason that Christians today don't pray more is because we do not grasp the connection between prayer and the promises of God. We are trying as individuals and churches to pray 'because we're supposed to' without a living faith in the promises of God concerning prayer. No faith life of any significance can be maintained by this 'ought-to' approach. There must be faith in God at the bottom. ... When real faith in God arises, a certainty comes that when we call, he will answer...that when we ask, we will receive...that when we knock, the door will be opened...”

“No hay más ser no creado que Dios. Dios no tiene contrario. Ningún ser podría alcanzar una “perfecta maldad” opuesta a la perfecta bondad de Dios. Satán, el cabecilla o dictador de los diablos, es lo contrario no de Dios, sino del arcángel Miguel. Se les pintan alas, para empezar, con la intención de dar una idea de la celeridad de la energía intelectual libre de todo impedimento. Un ser que aún puede sentir afecto no es todavía un diablo. En las Escrituras, la visitación de un ángel es siempre alarmante; tiene que empezar por decir: “No temas”. Los ángeles malos, como los hombres malos, son enteramente prácticos. Tienen dos motivaciones. La primera es el temor al castigo y la segunda, una especie de hambre.”
