Know Your Enemy!
Satan is very real! This is something that we MUST understand. He is known by many names including, the Devil, Lucifer, the evil one, the THIEF, our adversary, the serpent, the father of LIES, and more. He likes to disguise himself, in many ways, especially as temptation. He is very sneaky and very cunning. The bible says that Hell was created for the Devil and HIS ANGELS. Evil is very real!
Below you will find a few bible verses about the Devil. I will also share what God has shown me about him. Please take heed to this knowledge of truth! Walking with Jesus and spending time in your Bible will help you gain DISCERNMENT. DISCERNMENT helps us recognize when we are under enemy attack. This helps us stand against the Devil.
