SATAN'S
WORK WITH HUMAN MIND
How does Satan work with the human mind?
“For thousands of years Satan has been experimenting upon
the properties of the human mind, and he has learned to know it
well. By his subtle workings in these last days he is linking
the human mind with his own, imbuing it with his thoughts; and
he is doing this work in so deceptive a manner that those who
accept his guidance know not that they are being led by him at
his will. The great deceiver hopes so to confuse the minds of
men and women that none but his voice will be heard.--”
Medical Ministry, p 111
What is the caution and instruction of Christ concerning what
we hear?
“If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said
unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more
be given.”
Mark 4:23-24
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from
the words of knowledge. Proverbs 19:27
Eve, the first victim, fell prey to Satan's deception. How ?
“Had Eve refrained from entering into argument with the
tempter, she would have been safe; but she ventured to parley
with him and fell a victim to his wiles. It is thus that many
are still overcome. They doubt and argue concerning the requirements
of God; and instead of obeying the divine commands, they accept
human theories, which but disguise the devices of Satan.”
Great Controversy, p 531-32
“The angels warned them of Satan and cautioned them not
to separate from each other in their employment, for they might
be brought in contact with this fallen foe. The angels also enjoined
upon them to follow closely the directions God had given them,
for in perfect obedience only were they safe. Then this fallen
foe could have no power over them.”
“Satan commenced his work with Eve, to cause her to disobey.
She first erred in wandering from her husband, next in lingering
around the forbidden tree, and next in listening to the voice
of the tempter, and even daring to doubt what God had said, "In
the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
Early Writings, p 147
