Satan is the god of the world; his influence is to pervert the senses, control the human mind for evil, and drive his victims to violence and crime. He sows discord and darkens the intellect. The work of Christ is to break his power over the children of men. Yet how many in every department of life, in the home, in business transactions, and in the church, turn Jesus from their doors but let the hateful monster in. {FLB 312.3}

Satan er verdens gud; hans indflydelse forvrænger sanserne, kontrollerer menneskesindet for ondt, og driver sine ofre til vold og kriminalitet. Han sår disharmoni og mørke i intellektet. Kristi arbejde skal bryde sin magt over menneskebørnene. Men hvor mange sender alligevel Jesus bort fra døren, i alle livets tilskikkelser, i hjemmet, i forretningsanliggender, og i menigheden, - og lader det hadefulde monster komme ind.
