Satan appeals to our reason by the presentation of elevating themes; he delights our imagination with enrapturing scenes; and he enlists our affections by his eloquent portrayals of love and charity.
He excites our imagination to lofty flights, leading men to take so great pride in their own wisdom that in their hearts they despise God.
The wisdom that spiritualism imparts is described as "not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish." James 3:15.
Satan will present his temptations in a manner to pervert the senses of all who are not shielded by divine power.
Satan beguiles people by flattery, by kindling a desire for forbidden knowledge, by exciting ambition for self-exaltation.
It was cherishing these evils that caused his fall from Heaven, and through these evils he aims to ruin us!
