基本上，基督徒信仰的仇敌有三样：「肉体，世界，撒旦」。肉体的情欲与世界的邪恶是我们人非常容易察觉的。那是因为我们能够感应得到情欲，且能接触得到世界，但是常常叫信徒防不胜防的就是那看不见，且是有位格，带有心思、情感与意志的仇敌，撒旦。唯有圣经将他真实的存在与作为告诉我们。据说改革家马丁路德对撒旦具有何等强烈的个人意识，甚至他有一天甚至将手中一瓶墨水丢向他认为撒旦所在的那方向。当然，他不但打不到撒旦，得到的却是一满墙的墨水。虽那是一时失去理智的冲动所带来的，但是那也说明了他对撒旦的存在与工作是多么有体感。在现今世代，特别是科学与科技越来越先进，人都对魔鬼与撒旦的存在越来越不信，就是信也是感到非常抽象。那是因为现代科学只叫人接受凭眼见，且能用试验证据来证明的事。另外就是人因为不信神启示的话，他也带着自己的文化背景来认识魔鬼与撒旦的事。这样的结果，一般人都将撒旦当做是非常丑陋与奇异的怪物。所以，人当中有迷信的一群，也有被现代科学影响的一群，以至他们对撒旦的存在与作为一无所知。就是许多活在舒适与安稳的基督徒也只是认为撒旦是带来给人感觉比较消极的事，例如：身体有病痛，工作不顺利、钱财缺乏、关系破裂等。所以，我们在现今教会常常听信徒祷告说：“求主阻挡恶者的脚步！求主捆绑那偷窃、杀害、毁坏的，使钱财的道路打开、身体的肿瘤除去等！”这类的祷告遍满现代教会，且存留在信徒的思想里。圣徒的“魔鬼论”都限制在这类的认识而已。其实，当圣经第一次说明撒旦的工作时，说到他是最狡猾的被造物。他是多么有吸引力、说服力、且有灵里的力量。他用他的魅力与他谎言里的一些真实说服力来叫始祖犯罪。圣经说他装着光明的天使《林后11:14》。他所说的带着世人可信的话语，他给人的承诺是人性所渴望的，就是连始祖还没犯罪的人性也会被他的话语欺骗。他显现在人当中的样式绝对不是一个怪兽或是很粗俗的人的样子。他一定像是一个充满善意，且具有说服力的人，所以主在《太24:24》说：“倘若能行，他所做的连选民也就迷惑了”。所以主在教导信徒祷告时，他说：“不叫我们遇见试探，救我们脱离凶恶”。这里说讲的凶恶，指的是那“恶者”（就是撒旦本身）。确实，他比你和我都强，他比你和我都聪明。所以，连这么奋勇与坚强的彼得告诉主说他愿意与主同死，同受苦难，主耶稣告诉他说：“西门，西门，撒旦想要得着你们，好筛你们像筛麦子一样”《路22:31》。确实，彼得的信心与奋勇在撒旦的眼中就只如同麦子，随时能够筛的。他说这话之后在二十四小时之内会否认主，而且不是一次，而是三次。那真正保守彼得的是主耶稣的祈求。因为主的祈求，他才不失去信心，且能回转得以坚强他的弟兄们。所以，我们真是不要骄傲，不要小看那恶者的权势。《弗6:12》说：“因我们并不是与属血气的争战，乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的，以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战”。在此告诉我们不要低估撒旦的工作，因为他带有属灵气的权势，那不是用人的学问、意志或任何的兵器能胜过的。但我们也不要高估他的作为，以至我们常常都在捆绑撒旦的作为而忽略了我们情欲和世界所带来的邪恶工作。我们要晓得现今世代的邪恶和我们常常放纵肉体情欲之事实实在在给予那恶者攻击我们的机会，而圣经告诉我们这恶者（撒旦）在人身上的主要工作就是他昼夜的控告。他的控告带给我们生命有极其的危害。确实，我们对撒旦和他的工作要认识清楚，才会懂得靠主。特别，在今天的信息中，我们要认识如何对应撒旦带给我们良知的控告。

Basically, there are 3 enemies to a believer’s faith: flesh, world, Satan. Flesh’s desires and the world’s evil are what we can most easily detect. That is because we can sense desires and we can touch the world. However, the enemy that believers find hard to defend against is the one who is invisible; has a personality, with mind, emotions and will – Satan. Only Bible tells us of his real existence and work. It is said that reformer Martin Luther had such personal consciousness about Satan, that one day he even threw a bottle of ink in the direction where he thought Satan was. Of course, he did not hit Satan, but he ended up with a wall splashed with ink. Although, that was brought about by a moment of irrationality and impulsiveness, it speaks of how much he was able to sense the existence and work of Satan. In the modern world today, when science and technology are becoming more advanced, people increasingly do not believe in the existence of devil and Satan. Even if they believe, it is in an abstract way. That is because science calls us to accept what is observable and can be verified empirically. Also, as people do not believe in the revelation of God, they will understand devil and Satan through their cultural background. As a result of these, a common person will just see Satan as an extremely ugly and weird creature. Therefore, while there are those who are superstitious, and there are those who are influenced by science, they end up not knowing the existence and work of Satan.  Even many Christians living in comfort and stability only know Satan as the one bringing about depressing things, like illnesses, problems at work, financial problems, breakdown in relationships, etc. Therefore, in today’s church, we often hear believers say, “Lord, we ask you oppose the evil one! Lord, bind the one who came to steal, kill and destroy, so that the path to wealth can be opened up, tumors in the body can be removed!” Such prayers fill the modern church and remain in the minds of believers. Believers’ “theory of the devil” is only restricted to such level of understanding. Actually, when Bible first talks about the work of Satan, it describes him as craftier than other creation. He is attractive, persuasive and is imbued with spiritual power. He uses his charisma and truly persuasive lies to cause Adam and Eve to sin. The Bible says he will masquerade as the angel of light <2 Co 11:14>. He speaks what is believable to people of the world and he promises what humanity desires. Even our forefathers who had yet to sin would be deceived by his words. The way he appears among us is definitely not in the form of a monster or a crude person. He will surely be like a person filled with good intentions and who is convincing, thus the Lord said in <Mt 24:24>, “If possible, his work can even deceive the elect”. Thus, when the Lord taught believers how to pray, He said, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one”. The “evil” mentioned here refers to that “evil one” (that is, Satan himself). Indeed, he is stronger and smarter than you and me. Thus, even when such brave and strong Peter told the Lord that he was willing to die with the Lord and suffered with Him, Lord Jesus told him, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat” <Lk 22:31>. Indeed, Peter’s faith and courage were like wheat in the eyes of Satan, which could be sifted anytime. Within 24 hours after saying this, he would deny the Lord, and not just once, but thrice. What truly preserved Peter was the prayer of Lord Jesus. Because of the Lord’s prayer, he did not lose faith, and could turn back to strengthen his brothers. Thus, we truly cannot be proud, and cannot look down on the power of the evil one. <Ep 6:12> says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. It tells us here not to underestimate the work of Satan, because he has spiritual forces, which cannot be overcome with human knowledge, will or any weapon. But we also need not overestimate his work, such that we are always binding the work of Satan till we neglect the work of evil brought about by our own desires and the world. We must know that the evil of the current era and the frequent gratification of the desires of our flesh truly give the evil one opportunities to attack us, and the Bible tells us the main work of this evil one (Satan) on humans is his accusations day and night. His accusations bring to our lives great harm. Indeed, we must clearly know Satan and his work, then we will know how to rely on the Lord. In particular, in today’s message, we must know how to handle the accusations Satan gives our conscience.
