If you do believe God's Word, he will try to choke the Word that is in you, by using the lusts of this world, the cares of this life, the pleasures of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and many other devices. This 2-Sunday course by Edr Andrew Sabaratnam begins on 24th February. It will examine the existence, personality, nature and activity of Satan, and how he has been deceiving the world through the ages.
