Satan knows that his end is near 1

* Luís Alberto Alves

The enemy of our soul knows that the end is near. Clever, he does not intend to go to hell alone. Try to get as many people as you can to keep you company. For that, he uses and abuses various strategies aimed at deceiving Christians and non-Christians.

Imagine a well-decorated and beautiful cake, the inside of which is stuffed with garbage. Such is the dish of lentil offered by the devil. Never sell evil in ugly packaging. He seeks to decorate and change the image to deceive the distracted.

Because he can not stay everywhere at once, he sends his legion of demons to watch over and pass on the final report on the lives he will try to take from the ways of the Lord. Skilled, it creates difficulties for the Christian to murmur, complain about everything, lose patience, fight and even deny Christ.

On top of the words that come out of our mouths is that satan will work and strategize to get us away from the Lord's ways. One of the signs emitted by darkness is ease. Nothing offered by the devil is difficult. Take the wedding as an example. By the commandments of God, the couple must have sex only after the marriage has been completed.

From the devil's point of view, the sexual relationship can already occur on the first day of courtship, with the argument that "one must try first, not to disappoint later." It then launches the argument that it is carefree to marry, as it involves documentation in a notary's office, church expenses, and reception to the guests. Beloved, none of this is necessary.
