Wave This In the Face of Satan!

“It is written.” Stand upon it, and if the devil were fifty devils in one, he could not overcome you.

On the other hand, if you leave “It is written,” Satan knows more about reasoning than you do.

He is far older, has studied mankind very thoroughly, and knows all our weak points. 
Therefore, the contest will be an unequal one.  

Do not argue with him . . . . but wave in his face the banner of God’s Word. 

Satan cannot endure the infallible truth, for it is death to the falsehood of which he is the father.

from: C.H. Spurgeon
Spiritual Warfare in a Believer’s Life, Sermon Matthew 4:4

********************************
Satan was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies and of all that is false. (John 8:44)

    The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

    I Peter 5:8 NIV
    Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
