Satan is desperate to take God's place in our lives. Isaiah wrote of Satan's manifesto, describing it as having a foundation of pride. Lucifer wanted exaltation above God's throne, entrusted with the authority to control and speak the governing law to us and to Jesus Christ. But believers know that Satan can never take Christ's place in the lives of humans; he can only manipulate and offer misrepresentations of Jesus. In this book, the author examines our tendency to fall into despair and urges us to remember David, who knew he needed the power of God's Holy Spirit to restore his life. He looks to Scripture to reveal what every believer must confront to deepen their faith, answering questions such as: - Why is it necessary for believers to study the Bible? - What causes us to withdraw from the presence of God? - What steps can someone take to align their life with God's teachings? - What is the Holy Spirit's job in salvation? Other topics include the beginning of sin and its impact on today's world, how to know you are really saved, and the nature and process of repentance.
