As powerful and devastating as these cold temperatures may be, however, their power is nothing compared to the destructive power of our spiritual adversary, Satan. The cold here in Illinois only lasts a season (albeit a looonnng season, if you ask me), but our spiritual battle never ends. Satan has one job and one purpose, and he is relentless in his pursuit. Satan wants to bring you down! Satan wants to separate you from the love of God. And Satan is ready to throw everything at us to ensure our defeat.
