6. Some Satanists worship the devil as God. That is, this is the cosmic sin by which Satan fell: he tried to rise above God.

If you have engaged in the idolatry of Satan-worship, God is telling you in His providential care that you are not spiritually good. That is, you must repent and believe the gospel (Mk 1:15) through Christ alone (Gal 2:20) to the Almighty Trinity alone (Mt 28:19) because Jesus will never cast you out if you come asking for forgiveness because you have offended a good God.
28. If you practice Satanism and you want to change, spend time in God's written Word in the New Testament. Start out with the Gospels of Luke and John.

58. Satan is behind the false doctrine of world religions, non-Christian cults and the occult However, let us not forget that man is also spiritually corrupt and loves falsehood more than truth by nature.
59. Why worship the creature over the holy Creator (see Rom 1)?
60. Why engage in sexual immorality when God can find you a God-fearing wife with devoted prayer and reflection (see Prov 31)?
61. Why engage in criminal behavior when God has made civil government for your good and benefit (see Rom 13)?
62. Why engage in satanic ritual when God has prescribed the fellowship and friendship of the local church for your spiritual noruishment?

69. If you were to stand before a holy God today, what would be your spiritual condition?

71. God is working all things out for the good of His people. That means He is even working your sin for your ultimate good.
72. The all-atoning Cross is meant for you to not only be forgiven and cleansed but also live a life of holiness.
73. Satan cannot spiritually save anyone. That is, only the holy Trinity can save you now.
74. Satan only has the ability to destroy. He works things out for evil for those that partake of his wickedness.
75. We do not need to have the future through the occultic, because the God of the Bible has cosmic and spiritual VICTORY IN CHRIST ALONE (see the Book of Revelation)!
76. The question is, are you on the winning side in spiritual terms? The side of Satan is are cosmic losers, but the side of Christ is victory.

91. C.H. Spurgeon author of "Spiritual Warfare in a Believer’s Life" (Sermon Matthew 4:4) wrote, “It is
written.” Stand upon it, and if the devil were fifty devils in one, he could
not overcome you. On the other hand, if you leave “It is written,” Satan knows
more about reasoning than you do. He is far older, has studied mankind very
thoroughly, and knows all our weak points. Therefore, the contest will be an
unequal one. Do not argue with him but
wave in his face the banner of God’s Word.
Satan cannot endure the infallible truth, for it is death to the
falsehood of which he is the father."
92. The devil accuses the brethren before God night and day.
93. There is no accusation of Satan that can avail before a holy God regarding God's elect people.

95. The devil knows he has a short time, but he comes as a raging lion against the people of God seeking to destroy them without cause. Remember the devil can only do what God allows him to do. That is, he is a lion in restraint.

Heeding God's command,
Honor them, the faithful few!
All hail to Daniel's band!
Dare to be a Daniel!
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known!
Many mighty men are lost,
Daring not to stand,
Who for God had been a host
By joining Daniel's band.
Many giants, great and tall,
Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel's band.
Hold the gospel banner high;

Satan and his host defy,
And shout for Daniel's band (TH, 660).
