The Devils Among Us Gloria Edwards

Some people don't believe the Devil exists and relegate him to folklore. Some depict him as a being with a pitchfork and tail and make fun of him but he is a deadly enemy. He hides his true self in the shadows, he is a deceiver, the father of lies. He has been lying from the beginning, and was the instigator of the fall of humanity. He does not speak the truth and will present himself as an angel of light, but in truth he is a harbinger of darkness. Throughout the ages, he has wage war on God's image bearers. Hiding in the open, crouching at our doors, waiting for any opportunity to take from us everything and anything that will allow us to be free from his control. The fact that many deny his existence or make light of it, has given him carte blanc in every sphere of life on earth. His angels and demons can be found in the seven primary spheres of culture, in all nations: Media, Arts and Entertainment, Government, Family, Religion, Economy, and Education. He teaches in our schools, preach in our church, sits around our tables, is present at family gatherings, sleeps in our beds; he pretends to be our closest friend but he is our worst enemy. He is not omnipresent, but he has his own troop of fallen angels and demons at his command, who are tasks with specific areas and regions, to carry out his schemes. The greatest danger we face is not knowing who our enemy is!
