Download audio fileSo, let me ask you, is the devil real, or not? Do you believe in the existence of a personal force of evil, or not?
Jesus, we’re told, was thrown into the wilderness by God, where He starved for forty days and forty nights. And at the end of it, the devil came to tempt Him, to draw Him off course, to undo what God had sent His Son to come and do. Of course, the devil failed, but …
Luke 4:13 The devil finished tempting Jesus in every way and went away to wait until a better time.
In other words, “I’ll be back!” C.S. Lewis once said this about the devil:
There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and yet to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.
Someone once expressed surprise when I mentioned that I believed in the existence of the devil. They said, “How can you believe in those old wives’ tales?” And my answer was simple: because Jesus believed in the existence of this devil.
That same devil who tempted Him in the wilderness; that same devil who left Jesus after failing to succeed in tempting Him; that very same devil who departed from Jesus with the clear intention of returning at “a better time”.
That same devil is real today. He’s here and he’s looking for someone to devour.
When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.
The devil. Make no mistake about it. He’ll be back.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.

I was disappointed that you didn’t go on to say how we can resist the devil when he does come back and how God is so much bigger and more powerful
