Satan is real, and he is relentless in his attacks on people of the light. Satan and his demons don't look anything like the depictions we see flickering across the screen in movies or on television. He subtly plays upon the fallibilities of good people to convince them that their darkest desires and most destructive activities are innocent, even righteous. His chief weapon is deception, and he uses it masterfully.
Satan is a genuine force that persistently targets those who embody goodness and light. He is not the stereotypical figure seen in films but rather an insidious presence that manipulates the weaknesses of virtuous individuals. By exploiting their vulnerabilities, he entices them into believing that their most harmful urges can be justified as harmless or even noble.
Swindoll emphasizes that deception is Satan's primary weapon, and he wields it with great skill. This manipulation can lead well-intentioned people astray, making them unknowingly indulge in their darker impulses. Understanding this aspect of spiritual warfare is crucial for recognizing the subtle ways in which evil can infiltrate lives and tarnish one's commitment to righteousness.
