You have observed that the adversary has carried his rebellion and subtle persuasion into this world. Here he continues to try and win the souls of those who opposed his plan before coming here. So he will seek to entice you from the straight and narrow path upon which you have set your feet. But if you will be humble and prayerful, you will be blessed with the gift of discernment to detect the devious designs of the adversary, both through the actions and persuasions of others, and also in the false precepts that are going forth in this day in such great abundance from high places, as well as from some of your associates. 1994-06-19 Remember, the evil one is real and he desires you to be his.

Whenever you feel evil near fall on your knees and humbly ask our Heavenly Father for the protection of the Holy Ghost and you will feel His Power encircle you. 1997-07-13 You were directed by the great Archangel, Michael, in casting Lucifer and his spirits our of the heavens. He warns you that you then and there became an enemy to Lucifer and he is dedicated to your destruction if you leave him room. He has not been given title to destroy you except by your permission. We must be in the world but we need not be part of it. To state it again, you needn't be afraid for Lucifer has power only where you give it. 1997-11-16 Through love and faithful prayers, you shall overcome all, even the evil one - for in truth, you are a chosen noble warrior of our Lord; He has designs on you, great blessings and accomplishments to be realized. 1998-05-14 I bless you to beware of the temptor's power and remain on the straight and narrow way that leads to happiness and joy and eternal life. 1998-05-31 You have learned from experience the difference between good and evil, and have done well to keep yourself clean from the serious sins of the world. Remember that the devil is real, and that he is determined to thwart the work of the Lord. However, you need not be overly concerned if you remain true to your priesthood callings and remain out of his territory. 1998-09-27 Satan is loose and he's desirous of you changing your mind and changing your habits and changing your objectives, and he'll do everything, fair and unfair, deceitful and honest, and in every way conceivable to cause you to change your mind. But you need not fear because, as you know, he has no more power over you than you permit him to have. Remember, he's a liar, the father of lies, the master of deceit. So, while you need not fear, I advise you to be careful because he pops up in some of the most unsuspected places. You will probably be encouraged by some of the most unsuspected people. So be careful, stay close to the Savior, and you'll be safe. 2000-01-24 Satan will put temptations in your path.

You can also avoid things that might be unpleasant for you. 2003-07-18 Remember that Satan would influence for evil those who seek to follow the Lord and build up His kingdom, so always be aware that danger lurks in paths that are not in accordance with the principles of the gospel.

Satan can do nothing against the power of the name of the Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. 2005-11-06 Your Father in Heaven has blessed you with the desire to overcome temptation. You will resist Satan and He will flee from you. Do not court Satan, for He will consume you. 2005-12-18 Now, Sister *****, Satan is abroad in the land. He will seek to tempt you and draw you away from your Heavenly Father. But you must put your trust in that Spirit which leads to do good, to do justly, to judge righteously and to walk humbly.

Stay close to the Lord, be obedient to your parents and to the counsel that comes from our Prophet and do those things that he has asked us to do, and if you will do this, Lucifer will have no power over you whatsoever. 2006-09-15 Satan rages trying to claim you.

You can dismiss him from your life. 2011-03-20 You will use your gift of the Holy Ghost to discern truth from error, to recognize Satan in all his disguises and not be a victim to evil schemes or plans to take you away from the Gospel. 2011-06-26 The adversary will tempt you to take detours off the straight and narrow path, for he desires you to be miserable like unto himself.
