The believer has to learn to distinguish between the voice of Satan and the voice of the Holy Spirit. The devil accuses of sin. These accusations have a nagging, persistent quality that leads the believer to despair. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin. When He points out our sin, we know we have sinned, but He never shows us our sin without showing us the remedy. The conviction of the Holy Spirit is always a prelude to cleansing through the precious blood of Jesus. The believer should never argue with Satan. When he comes with his suggestions, insinuations and accusations the believer should turn at once to the blood of Christ, pleading its efficacy. If Satan is met this way, the believers faith will mount up and his heart be filled with joy, but if he listens to Satan, he is laying himself open to the devil’s fiery darts and his faith will be greatly weakened and in some cases completely destroyed. How many souls have made shipwreck of their spiritual lives simply from not understanding this ruse of Satan.
