Holy wisdom confounds Satan and all his wickednesses.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Satan will advocate that it is cool to doubt spiritual gifts and the teachings of true prophets.
We must remember that Satan has his miracles, too.
Satan tries to counterfeit the work of God, and by doing this, he may deceive many. To make us lose hope, feel miserable like himself, and believe that we are beyond forgiveness, Satan might even misuse words from the scriptures that emphasize the justice of God in order to imply that there is no mercy.
God's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.
Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.
The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.
The devil is busy and trying to distort and adulterate the things that are the pure essence of God.
To light one candle to God and another to the Devil is the principle of wisdom.
Satan is wiser now than before, and tempts by making rich instead of poor.
Pure, holy simplicity confounds all the wisdom of this world and the wisdom of the flesh.
