I believe in Satan

I believe in Satan. That's right that "big red dude with the horns", the Devil, el Diablo, the "Anti-Christ", "Son of Sam", Lucifer, that moronic punk (Yeah PM!!!)…whatever you want to call him, I believe in him. Although a lot of my fellow Christians do not feel the same way about him.
Did he say he believes in Satan??? He is going to be a pastor…shouldn't he believe in God? As most of gasp for air let me explain what I believe about him…

I believe he is…

Evil…

Wicked...

and not a nice person.

I believe he is the reason for so much of our…

Suffering…

Pain...

Loss …

And Emptiness.

I believe that he can be seen vividly in our

Depression…

Drug use…

Alcohol abuse…

And Adultery.

I believe Satan knows me well, not like God but enough to know what gets at me.

He knows I can be easily stressed out.

He knows I can be easily angered at work.

He knows that alcoholism and drug abuse runs in my family.

And He knows that I love God.

And that drives him crazy. He hates that I love God. Every morning I wake up and get out of
bed and he draws a bull's eye on my back. He wants to drive me away from God and into sin.

Like this one time my friend who found out that I was planning on becoming a pastor asked me if
I felt divine intervention. I thought for a second and smiled and said yeah but not as much as satanic intervention. He had no idea what to say…a want-to-be pastor has satanic intervention?
I do…every day. It is called temptation and we all are tempted.

When you want to look at some girls thong that is stinking out, that's satanic intervention.

When you want to get drunk, that's satanic intervention.

When you want to hit someone, that's satanic intervention.

The list could go on and on but as Christians what we need to realize is that the devil is so real.

He is as real as you and me and God and Jesus. But what can we do???

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings." (1 peter 5:8-9)

1. Be self-controlled and alert. Believe in Satan, he is real and he wants to destroy you.
2. Resist him, Standing firm in the faith…
a. Pray…a lot!
b. Read the bible.
3. Your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. If you are a Christian you should be there for your brother in Christ. You should be there for everybody…

So game on Satan!!!
