How Do I Know Satan Exists?
Just as God exists for the good Satan or the devil exist for evil. He is just as real and can live in you just as God can. The devil will take hold of you and chain you down, those feelings of depression, worthlessness, addictions, and giving into impulses are all the work of Satan. The second he knows that we are weak he will use that weakness against us.
Scriptures
Showing Satan's Existence:
"Now
there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves
before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD
said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD,
and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and
down in it." -Job 1:6-71
"Then
was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of
the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,
he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him,
he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made
bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and
setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If
thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He
shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they
shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an
exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the
world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these
things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 0Then
saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou
shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then
the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto
him." - Matthew 4:1-11.
"I
know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is:
and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in
those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain
among you, where Satan dwelleth." -Revelation 3:13.
