How Satan Does It—We have found in our experience that if Satan cannot keep souls bound in the ice of indifference, he will try to push them into the fire of fanaticism. When the Spirit of the Lord comes among His people, the enemy seizes his opportunity to work also upon different minds and lead them to mingle their own peculiar traits of character with the work of God. Thus there is always danger that they may allow their own spirit to mingle with the work and that unwise moves may be made. Many carry on a work of their own devising that is not prompted by God.— Letter 34, 1889 (Similar to Testimonies for the Church 5:644.) {1MCP 38.2}

Hvordan Satan gør det. - I vor erfaring har vi fundet ud af, at hvis Satan ikke kan holde sjæle i bundet i ligegyldighedens is, vil han forsøge at skubbe dem ind i fanatismens ild. Når Herrens ånd kommer ind blandt hans folk, griber fjenden en anledning til at virke også, forsøge at forme Guds arbejde ved forskellige menneskers særlige uhellige træk, som er knyttet til dette arbejde. Således er der altid fare for at der vil ske ukloge træk. Mange arbejder efter deres eget forgodtbefindende, et arbejde som Gud ikke har foranlediget. - Brev 34, 1889. (Det samme som vidnesbyrd 5 s. 644.)
