Faith and the devil

Faith and the devil. Okay you're saying what in the world does the devil have to do with faith? Well according to Scripture a person can believe but not live the life or be saved. So it is with the devil and his demons. He knows there is a God and trembles at him. He is proof for your faith to be stronger in God. First he knows that God is all powerful, he got dropped kicked out of heaven, like a bolt of lightning, trying to rise above God. What was he thinking...that was stupid!! Pride will do that. Second he knows the word of God is true because he tried to tempt Jesus, with changing the Word to conform to worldly appetites. Well that didn't go over either Jesus rebuked him. Thirdly the devil does what Jesus says. A legion of demons were cast out of a man, they wanted to know, if they could go into a herd of swine. Jesus said go, and it didn't turn out so well, because the demons ran the whole herd off a cliff. Which is exactly what will happen to your life if the devil controls it. Jesus told sickness you got to go, death you can't have them. Then there's the cross. The devil thought he had killed Jesus. Finally got rid of his threat. Big mistake, because what really happened Jesus took our sins and paid our debt. Then he went into the bowels of the earth set the captives free, took the keys from death, hell, and the grave. The devil has a rockin headache to this day. Gen.3:15 Oh and you don't believe and have faith in God. Devils do. James 2:19 NKJV You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
