When the devil looked at Calvary, he saw his Waterloo -- his defeat. That's what is the matter with him. The devil is conscious of his defeat. That is why, in the closing of this dispensation, the wroth of the enemy is being felt all the time in more intense form, because he sees the net drawing in. In the end, he will become fairly frantic. He will possess, and move through every instrument he can find, in politics, in society, in art and music, in every form that he can get in. In the last days he is going to be captured in his own net. He sees his utter defeat at Calvary.
A demon is as evasive and subtle as a snake.
I never reason with the devil. He is unreasonable.
The devil is a servant, after all, and God uses him when He wants to. With Paul, He let a demon loose, "a messenger of Satan to buffet him."

John Follette (1883 - 1966)
Follette was a gifted Bible teacher and author, who had both perspective and spiritual depth in his interpretation of the Word. He was an illuminated spirit in the field of spiritual reality, and had an unusual ability to impart “spirit and life” into those who sat under his ministry.He received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1913 while a student at a Bible School in Rochester, New York, and later became a teacher there until the school closed. He also taught for many years at Southern California Bible College. During the later years of his life, he was called into a wider field, ministering in conferences and retreats which took him around the world. He passed into his eternal reward in 1966 at the age of 82.
