THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

We probably have not the faintest idea of the number, subtlety, and activity of Satan’s agents. We forget that he is king over an enormous host of subordinate spirits who do his will. We should probably find, if our eyes were opened to see spirits, that they are about our path, and about our bed, and observing all our ways, to an extent of which we have no conception. In private and in public, in church and in the world, there are busy enemies ever near us, of whose presence we are not aware.It is the bent of Satan's nature to do harm, to kill, and to destroy. No wonder that he is called Apollyon, the destroyer.J.C. RyleSatan is real and so are his demons; they have become easy snares ambushing unsuspecting in the shadows of our unbelieving world. Any who deny the reality of spiritual wickedness are subject to it. No wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
