Satan

You have been given the truth, yet you still don't believe. Why don't you believe the truth when it is staring you in the face. Satan is the reason.

In the dream of Adam, Satan represents opposition, temptation, or an adversary. The true name of Satan is doubt. Doubt (Satan) causes opposition. Doubt (Satan) is temptation to not believe the truth, and doubt (Satan) is your adversary.

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” - Matthew 14:31

We first see Satan (doubt) make an appearance in Genesis in the form of a serpent. Adam and eve doubted God and ate the fruit and were cast out just as had been foretold by God. Everything that God said would happen did, and it was because Adam doubted God.

The book of Job in the bible is a story Job who faces Satan (doubt) head on. Job endures immense suffering which would cause most everyone to doubt God. After Job loses everything and everyone, a few of his "friends" come by to tell him that he should repent, and that he basically deserved it. Job not only faced Satan (doubt) head on, but he also stood against those who tried to reinforce Satan (doubt). In the end of the story, Job does not give into Satan (doubt), Job continues to trust in God despite the suffering he endured and his "friends" telling him that he deserved it. 

For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; 26 And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God - Job 19:25–26.

In the end of the story, Job is rewarded for his dedication and trust in God despite extreme suffering and opposition from his "friends". Job stood firm in his faith and didn't doubt God and he was rewarded.

Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan (doubt)! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” - Matthew 4:10

And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan (doubt), and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him. Mark 1:13

Then Satan (doubt) entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. - Luke 22:3

Anytime you see the word Satan in the bible, replace it with the word doubt and everything will make sense. God is Love, Satan is doubt. Doubt opposes Love.

If it weren't for Satan (doubt) you would believe Christ when he tells you that your sins are forgiven. Or when Christ says we are all gods. If it weren't for Satan (doubt) we would believe the hundreds of times the bible would tell us not to be afraid. If it weren't for Satan (doubt), we would be blessed with treasures beyond our imagination. If it weren't for Satan, we wouldn't fear Love, we would embrace it with open arms. We choose Satan (doubt) over God (Love). Only those who ignore doubt and turn away from it, will be blessed. Doubt leads to hell where the world as you know it resides. Release yourself from doubt and be freed from your shackles. Everything is ok, that has been promised to you, why do you doubt? What good has doubt ever brought you? Self-doubt leads to confusion, misery, grief, and sorrow. Satan (doubt) only has power if you allow it to. Don't give doubt any power and you'll see it for what it is, which is nothing. Peace and Love!
