Just as God exists for the good Satan or the devil exist for evil. He is just as real and can live
in you just as God can. The devil will take hold of you and chain you
down, those feelings of depression, worthlessness, addictions, and
giving into impulses are all the work of Satan. The second he knows that we
are weak he will use that weakness against us.
Scriptures Showing Satan's Existence:
"Now
there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before
the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan,
Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going
to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." (Job
1:6-7)
"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness
to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty
nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him,
he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made
bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him
on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of
God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels
charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto
him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again,
the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth
him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith
unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and
worship me. 0Then saith
Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil
leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him."
(Matthew 4:1-11)
"I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,
even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not
denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful
martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth." (Revelation
3:13)
