Revelation chapter 12 verses 9 through 11, and the great dragon was thrown down,

that ancient serpent who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world.

He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him,

and I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, now the salvation and the power and the kingdom

and the authority of his Christ have come. So listen to this phrase, the accuser of our brothers.

So in verse 9, he was called the deceiver of the whole world. This is who Satan is, what Satan

does. He deceives. He's been doing so ever since Genesis chapter 3. Should you trust God's word?

Should you trust God's goodness? You know better than God, what is best for your life, deceiving

By the blood of the Lamb, by the blood of Jesus shed for our sins. There's no way you or I can

conquer the devil, Satan, the deceiver of the whole world on our own, only by the blood of Jesus,

the picture of Jesus going to the cross and dying in our place as our substitute for our sins,
