• If you are a believer they attack God by attacking you.
• But we also learned last week that the Devil is God's devil so he doesn't have free reign to do whatever he wants to you, but rather he is under the sharp oversight of God's sovereignty and God will not allow him to attack you unless ultimately it can be u ...
