This is Max Lakato. Satan connives, plots, and deploys tactics. He has a strategy that's caused for concern.

He is predictable. That's reason for hope. The devil, while potent, is a rotten chess player.

He signals his moves in advance. He runs the same play over and over, and since we know it, we can defend against it.

Satan always starts with an untruth.

Might be a blatant lie, or simply an inaccurate assumption.

Either way, it is untrue.

Do you remember his words to Eve? Did God really say,

you may not eat from any tree in the garden? God knows that when you eat from it, your eyes will be

opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. Satan's greatest weapon is his arsenal

of untruths. Be on alert for those lies that he is telling you.
