Understanding the Devil

The Devil in Greek translates to “The Accuser,” also it can be translated to “A Traducer,” or slander, a false accuser. The Devil and Satan is one of the same entities. Other names-and this entity have many: the temper (Matt 4); “The Evil One” (Matt. 13); “The Great Dragon and Serpent of old” (Rev 12). I think he has more names than the United States has states.

“…like a roaring lion” 1 Peter 5, and he has angels (Rev 12), and he has powers, signs and can do false wonders (11 Thes. 2); some Christians turn and follow Satan (I Tim 5).

The ‘tares’ they are the sons of the evil one (Matt 13). The seed is the word of God (Luke and the devil takes the word of God away so they cannot be saved.

You are desperate. You have looked for a job for months and found nothing. You called all your friends and family, searched job sites, applied at the unemployment office and still…nothing. You pray. You pray hard. “God please.” The baby suddenly cries and you realize you are out of milk. At the grocery store, you run into an old friend you have not seen in years. You chat about old times and life and mention your job situation and he tells you that he recently just spoke to someone who told him of a job that is perfect for you. It is exactly what you love to do. It is in your field and you are qualified. Furthermore, it pays more than you have ever earned and has benefits twice as good as your previous job. You can hardly believe it. If the baby had not cried right then, you would have missed this connection. Wow.
