We know that Satan and his followers are spirits who do not have bodies of flesh and bones and who desires to possess our mortal bodies. The evil one seeks to make us all miserable. He would rob us our agency, turn us from our eternal goals, and enslave and destroy us. Satan uses lies, deceptions, and half truth to conquer us. He garnishes evil to make it appear beautiful, pleasing, easy and even good.
Satan suggest reasons that would make evil actions seems acceptable:
- abortion- it's my body, I can do what I want with it.
- sexual immorality- everyone's doing it.
- marriage- it's better to find out whether you are compatible by living together before you are married.
- divorce- if it doesn't work give up.
- drugs- they're fun, they can really make you feel good.
- pornography- you need to read all kinds of materials to be well-informed.
- homosexuality- we should not have hide our true feelings.
- birth control- the world is overcrowded as it is.
- women's role- you're too intelligent to stay at home with children.
Be aware and warned of the subtle workings of Satan.
We can withstand or avoid evil by:
- following counsel of our leaders.
- being committed in our resolve to overcome evil.
- seeking the guidance of the Holy Ghost or Spirit.
