"The devil can cite scripture for his purpose." William Shakespeare
"The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still." A.W. Tozer "The devil, the proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked." Thomas More
"Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don't wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work - to wake people up." Catherine Booth
"The joy of the Lord will arm us against the assaults of our spiritual enemies and put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks." Matthew Henry
“It is no marvel that the devil does not love field preaching! Neither do I; I love a commodious room, a soft cushion, a handsome pulpit. But where is my zeal if I do not trample all these underfoot in order to save one more soul?” John Wesley
"The devil has his elect.” - Thomas Carlyle
"The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God." Jonathan Edwards
"Every devil has not a cloven hoof." Daniel Defoe
"The devil divides the world between atheism and superstition." George Herbert
"The enemy will not see you vanish into God's company without an effort to reclaim you." C.S. Lewis
"Our Lord's determined purpose and design was to overcome the devil, not by the exercise of His power, but by means of His own self-abasement." Jerome
"The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one." C.S. Lewis
"The devil is nimble; he can run apace; he is light of foot; he hath overtaken many....They that would have heaven must run for it." John Bunyan
"The world is a den of murderers, subject to the devil. If we desire to live on earth, we must be content to be guests in it, and to lie in an inn where the host is a rascal, whose house has over the door this sign or shield, 'For murder and lies.'" Martin Luther
"Satan always rocks our cradle when we sleep at our devotions." Joseph Hall

"A false interpretation of Scripture causes that the gospel of the Lord becomes the gospel of man, or, which is worse, of the devil." Jerome
"Like a good chess player, Satan is always trying to maneuver you into a position where you can save your castle only by losing your bishop." C.S. Lewis
“My main ambition in life is to be on the devil's most wanted list." Leonard Ravenhill
"Enemy-occupied territory-----that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign in sabotage." C.S. Lewis
“The trumpet still plays the notes of war. You cannot sit down and put the victory wreath on your head. You do not have a crown. You still must wear the helmet and carry the sword. You must watch, pray, and fight. Expect your last battle to be the most difficult, for the enemy’s fiercest charge is reserved for the end of the day.” Charles Spurgeon
“I have ever found that when I have thought the battle was over and the conquest gained, and so let down my watch, the enemy has risen up and done me the greatest injury.” David Brainerd
“We must recognize that the Church’s real battle is not with fellow Christians “but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age” (Eph 6:12). How we as a Church fight this cosmic battle is a cosmic matter, and the armor of God is our spiritual equipment that moves us forward to victory.” Ramez Atallah
“Spiritual warfare is not about naming territorial spirits, claiming the ground, or binding demons. It is all about the gospel. It is to live a gospel life, to preserve gospel unity and to proclaim gospel truth. It is to do this in the face of a hostile world, a deceptive enemy and our sinful natures. And it is to pray to a sovereign God for gospel opportunities. Advance comes through godliness, unity, proclamation and prayer.” Timothy Chester
“How shall we view the world of mission? In the first place, it is not an organizational or religious effort. World missions is not, strictly speaking, the work of the Church, but the work of God. World missions means the invasion of God into a hostile world - a world filled with fiendish forces, filled with demonized forces of hell in black array.” L.E. Maxwell
“How then must we view world missions? Is it a job? A business? A service? A mission? A commission? An assignment? A program? An investment? Perhaps in a measure, these things, but missions must be first a campaign, a conquest, a war. If it is not first that, it will never be realized in these other respects. World missions means war, total war and mobilization. The Governor General of this campaign is none other than the Captain of our salvation.” L.E. Maxwell
“Some say this is the greatest investment in which you can put your time, substance, and life. Nonsense! It’s a war! I don’t like to hear missions described as a business investment, for there are two implications that I believe are wrong. First, when someone asks me to make an investment, I expect in reasonable time some returns. In the second place, the implication is that what I have I can choose to do with as I will. And that’s not so either. Total warfare means total commitment with no options and no returns, and past the point of no return.” Francis Steele
