One of Satan’s most effective tools of deception is to quote one of God’s prophets or apostles, then change the message by twisting it, adding to it, removing from it or taking it out of context.

Upon hearing the news, Jesus said to the disciples: ” This sickness […]

Satan’s pretention expertise was first used on human beings in the Garden of Eden when he presented himself to them as a friendly resident whose only goal was to aid them in living the good life in paradise by going around the stern dictates of the God Who had created them as well as the […]

In the previous postings we spent most of our time discussing Satan’s work among the world’s peoples in general.
