The Personality of the Devil - Pastoral Bible Institute
Jesus knew the reality of His opponent. He called him "a murderer from the beginning" and the father of lies (John 8:44), acknowledged him to be the "prince of this world" (John 14:30) and asserted that in time past He himself had witnessed his expulsion from heaven, which must have been at the time of his defection from righteousness (Luke 10:18).
Is God or Satan Winning?
With the dispelling of his old errors, Satan and his demons ("seducing spirits") have brought forth new "doctrines of devils" (1Timothy 4:1)-Evolution, Theosophy, Christian Science, New Thought, Mormonism, Rosicrucianism, Universalism, Scientology, etc.-and are multiplying "signs and wonders" (2 Thessalonians 2:9)-witchcraft, black art, fortune-telling, alleged talking with the dead, Satanism, clairvoyance, spirit-rapping, sorcery, crystal-ball gazing, tea-leaf reading, spirit-writing, hypnotism, ESP, astrology, poltergeists, horoscopes, tarot cards, ouija boards, "flying saucers," etc.
Why God Has Permitted Satan's Lying Deceptions (R5799) Deuteronomy 13:3
Every error held obscures and hinders some truth; and we have now come to the time when every child of God needs all the panoply of Truth--the armor of God.
Satan's Devices (R1217) 2 Corinthians 2:11
Satan's devices and snares are operated by men; and as far as he can manage it so, by moral men, or such as have, or have had, some character or standing in connection with the cause of Christ.
Spiritualism (R0196)
Spiritualism is a deceptive work of Satan.
The Good Physician (R3309) Mark 1:21-34
But we have no necessity for such manifestations of miraculous power today. Yes, we reply; it is very natural.) But the time of restitution has not yet come. Undoubtedly there are cases of demon possession today --obsession. More than this, we hold that our Lord has more power today than he had then.
Jealousy and Envy Punished (R5307) 1 Corinthians 13:4,5; Numbers 12
ST. PAUL includes envy, and therefore jealousy, in his enumerations of the works of the flesh and the Devil--together with anger, malice, hatred and strife. These are works of the Devil in that they are characteristics of Satan.
"Whereas I Was Blind, Now I See" (R2440) John 9:1-11
It is thoroughly wrong to credit to Satan's power all the difficulties which we experience. We may be glad also that sickness and death working in man are not wholly subject to the prince of darkness, for altho the Scriptures declare that Satan's power is deathward, they also show us that he does not have this power unlimitedly....
"Who Did Sin, This Man or His Parents?" (R2667) John 9:1-17
In a general way all the blemishes of the present time may be indirectly traced to our great Adversary, Satan.
The Binding and Loosing of Satan (R1233) Revelation 20:2
Why was Satan, the great deceiver and enslaver of mankind, ever permitted to have any power? Why, when, and how, is he to be bound, cast into the pit, shut up and sealed? For what conceivable purpose is he to be loosed again prior to his destruction? Why is he not destroyed at the beginning of the thousand years, instead of being bound and then loosed again for a season?
Satan's Outlook(R0725)
Some are inquiring: If there is hope for "those angels who kept not their first estate" may there not be hope for Satan that he may yet be reclaimed? If not, why not?
A Legion of Demons (R5058) Psalm 46:1,2; Mark 4:35; 5:20
Demon activity.

Angels, Satan, and Demons: Invisible Beings That Inhabit the Spiritual World Workbook (Swindoll Leadership Library)
by Robert Paul Lightner
In Angels, Satan, and Demons, Dr. Lightner addresses question many of us ask about the invisible beings that inhabit the spiritual world. Curiously, at least as seen by those of us who have always believed in God, the recent popular belief in angels and spirits has time-warped the present generation back into the sort of worldview that shaped the beliefs and thinking of people in Jesus' day. In most of the centuries before us, the majority of people believed in the reality of the spirit world. Our materialistic age is now re-discovering and reviving these beliefs, but often with outrageous distortions. In a quick review of both Christian and non-Christian thinking in ages past, Lightner reveals the origin of much of the current thinking about angels and demons.
