@TheHealer A thought that came to me today:

TheHealer: Satan doesn't really have any power over us unless we let him. God gave us the gift of freedom, the gift of choice. We decide what path we take, whether that be for good or evil. The devil can't interfere with that. He has no power over our choice and our will of action. The only thing he can do is whisper lies and deceit in our ears, trick us and provide false reasons to lure us into doing wrong. But he can't force us. He can't make us do something against our will. He holds no power over us unless WE LET HIM. God know what is right, because he is what is right, and as long as we follow him Satan CANNOT force us to do anything. All he can do is try and trick us into doing something wrong by making it seem right- for the wrong reasons.

So stay with your Father, he unveils what things truly are: what is truly right and wrong. He gave us the Holy Bible, His Words, and they tell how to stay safe from all the dangers of this world whispered by Satan, and what they are.

Always remain true with your heart, don't shut your eyes from what is wrong in shame. To have shame is the first step to come back to the right path, the good path. God already knows more about you than you do yourself, so there is no point in trying to hide from your sins, he already knows, and more importantly he forgives if you admit and come back.

Stands To Reason: Let us agree, that Satan has legal right to operate in darkness. Read the testimonies of professing Christians still battling urges, and falling, time again. Praying for forgiveness and sinning the same temptation over and over, the Bible calls this presumptuous sin. The Devil does gladly receives that as his invitation. He does have access in that. He has no power over righteous choices. Actually, all he does (with lies) is steal, kill, and destroy. His power is released in impenitent minds. Don't become hardened where you are not able to see that. Where there is dark thought in the Christian's mind, yes, Satan, with evil power can torment and tempt.
