minds of the angels, and he made it appear that he was seeking the good of the universe. As the anointed cherub, Lucifer had been highly exalted; he was greatly loved by the heavenly beings, and his influence over them was strong. Many of them listened to his suggestions and believed his words. “And there was war in heaven: Michael and His angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven” (Revelation 12:8).—Lt 114, 1903. (The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:973.) One Man’s Mind Not to Be Trusted.—One man’s mind and one man’s judgment was not to be trusted, for too great interests were at stake, and it was not free from human frailties and human errors.... There is not any one man’s mind so perfect that there is no danger of his moving from wrong motives, viewing things from a wrong standpoint.—Lt 41, 1891. Satan Watching for Unguarded Minds.— Satan is watching that he may find the mind in an 48
unguarded moment, and so get possession of it. We do not want to be ignorant of his devices, neither do we want to be overpowered by his devices. He is pleased with the pictures that represent him as having horns and hooves, for he has intelligence; he was once an angel of light.—MS 11, 1893. Evil Angels Attempt to Destroy Man’s Will.—If permitted, the evil angels will work [captivate and control] the minds of men until they have no mind or will of their own.—MS 64, 1904. Only Safety in Resistance.—Our only safety is in giving no place to the devil; for his suggestions and purposes are ever to injure us and hinder us from relying upon God. He transforms himself into an angel of purity that he may, through his specious temptations, introduce his devices in such a manner that we may not discern his wiles. The more we yield, the more powerful will be his deceptions over us. It is unsafe to controvert or to parley with him. For every advantage we give the enemy, he will claim more. 49
