“Satan fools and feigns, blows and bluffs, and we so often take his threats to heart and forget the "exceeding greatness of God's power to us.”

“Satan has no power over us except as we give it to him. God never forces us to do right, and Satan has no power to force us to do wrong.”

“Consequently, if you believe God made Satan, you must realize that all Satan's power comes from God and so that Satan is simply God's child, and that we are God's children also. There are no children of Satan, really.”

“There is one thing the power of God and the power of Satan have in common: Neither can influence us unless we allow them to.”

“God can take what Satan meant for shame and use it for His glory. Just when we think we've messed up so badly that our lives are nothing but heaps of ashes, God pours His living water over us and mixes the ashes into clay. He then takes this clay and molds it into a vessel of beauty. After He fills us with His overflowing love, He can use us to pour His love into the hurting lives of others.”

“The devil takes us to the top of an exceeding high mountain and makes us dizzy; but God lets us look at the mountain.”
