The first place to look for Satan, is where the money is.
The second place to look at is the politicians.
The third place is to look at is those who claim to be Jews but are not.
Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

It goes back to men Tempting God in the OT.
God flat out says to knock it off.
Jesus repeats God, to Satan.
It's a scenario that some men play...kind of in a reverse order...
As: "IF God WILL prove to "Them" He Exists...
"THEN", they will believe."
(And unbelieving men who play the game with a believer; Prove God Exists scenario)
A distraction ploy.
Glory to God,

Was Peter 'Satan's puppet' when he lied?As he is the father of lies, I suspect every liar is satan’s child/puppet. Even if they are ‘believers’
No u can't put God to the test. I would do that when i was a child...
I would pray and ask him for a sign, a physical sign... LoL
@Pearl ...As he is the father of lies, I suspect every liar is satan’s child/puppet. Even if they are ‘believers’
A liar is Satans puppet child, right... Well...
Oh noooo.. Not Geppetto... I've been deceived... Hehehe... LoL...

May I add another place Satan loves to be...around children. If he can start on them early on, they will have a tougher time seeing the goodness of God.

The first place to look for Satan is where GOOD is...as Paul so wisely put it
“I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.”
— Romans 7:21 (KJV)
A law....when doing good....evil is present.
And that is my humble opinion.

'Submit yourselves therefore to God.
.. Resist the devil,
.... and he will flee from you.'
(Jamess 4:7)
Hi there,
Submit comes first, then Resist.
'Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:
but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it.'
(1 Corinthians 10:12)
* God will provide a way to escape, He will deliver.
'Let no man say when he is tempted," I am tempted of God":
for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.'
(James 1:13-14)
Thank you
With love in Christ Jesus
Chris

I find that often when I have been close to God I come under attack. Over the years I have come to recognise that fact and hold up my shield and deflect it.
I will agree with Looking.
And Looking Should reveal A Truth.
Example:
Trump is badmouthed for his Wealth.
No doubt he is wealthy, likes a lavish lifestyle.
But LOOKING-
* He is required by law to accept his Presidental Salary...Then he Donates his Salary every quarter when he receives it.
* He has donated...to numerous charities.
* He has taken Risks...in 500 business adventures, that over a course of years has provided Jobs to men and women from all walks of life.
(* Wealthy yes- other people quick to acknowledge.
Other people quick to criticize ... why and to Whom he donates...YES...not their business!
Other people quick to criticize...3-5? Bankrupts? YES...Legal and exceptional odds compared to 500 ventures...and all the jobs for people.)
Abraham was Wealthy-
Wealth is the "root of" All Evil.
Which is to Say...if it IS Evil...Money was the Driving Force.
Which is Not to say Having Wealth "IS Evil".
And thus Agree;
Look.
Is the Wealth the Force...that perpetuates the Evil...or is the Wealth used for good.
Definitely Agree- Look and Look some more.
Poli- one of many
tics- a blood sucking creature
Politicians- a fairly new concept in the US-
Statesman- use to be a Nobel undertaking.
Politician hopefuls- are introduced and taught in college courses...the "art of the color of law",
How to speak in circles with a grin, saying nothing. How to win elections, How to raise money for your next election. Join the ranks as a Junior Representative...and learn the slicker than snot ways to deceive, from the Senior Representatives Glued to an honorable Seat...for Decades! Ugh!
Well...that Applies Also to any Gentile, who flat out Rejects God.
Some people will admit they are
...not a good place to be...but still some hope for them.Flat out Boldly Against God...yep, Satan's got them.
Glory to God,
Taken
And is this not where Jesus is?
"If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee." Psalm 139:11-12
And this would be where the unbeliever is?
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20
On our way up [or down?], would we not be somewhere in between?
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Cor 13:12
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." I John 3:2
And if we are headed toward Him, then at the end of our course, when our last battle has been fought and won by the power of God in us, should we be hearing him say something like this?
"His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Matt 25:23
Over what things have we been faithful or are we being faithful?
Micah 7
7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
Much love!
Christ is in us! Lol....Greater is He who is IN me than he who is in the world.
