He trys to make us think like the world and not like god . To be selfish, hstefull and o on.
Devil is a liar normally want us to look at our own emotions, minds, expectations and abilities in order to turn us away from the relationship with God, he feeds ours minds the worldly things.
He is the great distractor, the one that takes my eyes off the prize. He wants me to look away from God and tempt me with my weaknesses as something to be desired
Satan seeks to have us behave impulsively, emotionally, rather than with discipline. This feeds into our egos and builds self-centeredness, which damages our relationship with God.
Satan is the deceiver, I often think that the lies he whispered to Adam and Eve in Eden are not all that different than what he is saying to me. His goal is the same: distraction from the Lord and worldly pleasure. Satan would like us to have a false testimony and stand in a place of judgement non-Christians. Satan is the worst.
When I only think of myself. When I take my eyes of what is important and focus on the negative.
Any time Satan can take our eyes off of our reliance on the Lord and look only at ourselves, he begins to win. When we are self-centered and self-focused it is easier for Satan to tell us lies.
By distraction and pleasure. To tempt us towards areas where we are weakened
Satan tries to get us to question our relationship to God as well as question our very testimony. He puts temptation out in front of us that may sway us to believing that those who live apart from God actually are free and have it better.
