Do You Know the Devil's Plan? (9 of 21)

We're not going to have spelling test, but we are going to take a look at Satan's offensive playbook. For the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 2:11 that ''we are not ignorant of Satan's devices.''

It is reported = ''You know what folks have been saying.''
It is reported = ''I've heard...''
It is reported = ''I've had a number of people say to me...''
By the way, most of the time, ONE is a number. If ''everybody is saying it'' then I probably would've heard it long before now!
Sanballat and Tobiah engage in the age-old tactic of intimidation. And remember the word ''intimidation'' means ''to i ...
