Amen and amen. Good morning and welcome. You can be seated. Thank you. So glad you're here. Those of you joining us online, we're so glad you are. If you don't mind, we're going to get right to it, though.

in this regard with each passing day as we near that day. The Lord has been heavily

impressing upon my heart as of late.

The urgent need to address from Scripture this matter concerning this controversy.

And I'm keenly aware that I run the risk of an oversimplification when I say this,

but I've organized the answer to this question into three categories via three biblical descriptions of who the devil is and how the devil is.

Specifically, as the author of confusion, the accuser of the brethren, and the father of lies.

At the core, if you peel back all the layers because we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, people, brothers and
