WHAT wonderful revelations of the power of Satan some of his poor dupes have! Such a case has been related to me in Belfast. When speaking to an unsaved sinner about his soul, he told me what he described as a "personal interview with Satan," who directed him to plunge a knife into his wife. This he attempted, fortunately without success, for the bone of her corsets prevented the knife from injuring her.
Her father, who was living in the same house, hearing her screams came to her assistance, and managed with the aid of police to quiet him. He told me he remembered everything that happened quite vividly.
I said I did not in the least wonder, as Satan was the god of this world, and also the prince of the power of the air,1 and we must either be under the-power of sin and Satan, or belong to the Lord who bought us with His own blood.
The apostle Paul says in 2 Cor. 4:3, 43But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2 Corinthians 4:3‑4), "If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost; ire whom the god of this world bath blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
“Men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light and neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be detected. But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they have been wrought in God."2
Dear unsaved reader, is it not sufficient to point you to the love of God? You have often heard and read again and again how "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten. Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have life everlasting." “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be a propitiation for our sins."3 Oh, what love to a fallen race! God sent His own Son to suffer for us, who were born in sin and shapen in iniquity. D. W. J.
