A hell which could be cancelled only one way. It took the Son of God Himself taking your hell; taking your punishment for you. You did the sinning, but Jesus did the dying. When a rescuer extends his hand to you in a burning or collapsed building, you don't wait to grab it. Your chance to live is now. http://delveintojesus.com/Articles/84/Why-Did-God-Create-Satan.aspx 2010-01-20T17:48:07-05:00 God created all things in the beginning, including Satan. Why would God deliberately create something so evil and powerful? http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2009/11/20/does-belief-in-god-necessitate-belief-in-demons/ 2009-11-25T14:12:16-05:00 What role do you think demonic forces play in our world? Do you believe that Satan has a hand in everything, is mainly an impotent being, or doesn’t even exist? http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%205:8-9&version=NIV 2009-10-05T16:50:15-05:00 The devil is depicted here as a prowling lion--quietly lurking and waiting to pounce when it spots weak prey. But his attacks can be resisted simply by standing firm in the faith, and remembering that we're not alone in being targeted by his wiles. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev%2012:7&version=NIV 2009-10-02T11:51:53-05:00 This passage describes a war in heaven, in which a band of rebellious angels battled against the armies of heaven, led by Michael.

He has no bite - just a lot of noise! So, resist the devil, and he will flee from you! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/death-in-a-sticky-web-2542 2009-10-02T10:11:24-05:00 Listen, if you've been flying pretty close to the devil's web lately accept this as a loving warning from God. Touch the web and you will pay a price you never could have imagined. When sin looks good, remember that death on a sticky web. The destroyer is waiting to wrap you up and make you his. But in Jesus' power you can get away. Do it now, while you can! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2016:23&version=NIV 2009-10-02T09:49:40-05:00 Peter once said that he would never let Jesus be put to death. Jesus replied, Get behind me, Satan! This came naught but a few short verses after he commended Peter for his knowledge of Jesus' relationship to God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-battle-for-the-beachhead-2943 2009-10-01T15:13:38-05:00 The battle for the beachhead may be raging around you right now. Hold your ground, soldier. You're not losing - or the enemy wouldn't bother with you. You're on your way to some of the greatest victories of your life!
