The church today appears very weak. Huge forces are arrayed against it. Satan is always very busy. He hates God and all that belongs to God. He tries all he can do to hurt the cause of God, the church of God, and he wants to undermine the glory of God. He is the great opponent of the church of God. The overriding ambition of Satan’s life is to lead astray the people of God, and he uses all his followers and all his resources to achieve that end. He is highly intelligent. He is of great experience. He has been learning his trade ever since the fall of man. He knows what is likely to work in tempting people, and he never seems to forget anything. He has thousands of demons at his command, and also millions of wicked men who are his slaves.
