Evil is not the opposite of holiness, it is the absence of it. The devil is a liar! He wants us to believe that the power he has is, in fact, the opposite of holiness. By doing this, he assigns himself power. He promotes himself, at least in the minds of people, to a level of being the god of evil in a sense, even sometimes wanting us to get the impression that he has superior powers. After all, he sometimes makes us think he can undo the good purposes and plans God has for us.
And he, as the Word of God says, is the father of lies. He wants to project this representation of a deity but he is not. His only power is in what he can convince humanity he has and in the level that we willingly accept his lies into our hearts and minds. He has no weapon except what he places in the minds of men, taking advantage of our weaknesses and our free will. His only weapon is a lie. Everything he does and everything he uses against us is a lie.
Does he destroy marriages? Can he destroy families? Does he destroy communities? Will he destroy lives? From the Garden of Eden to today, he deals not in power, not in might, not in authority, but in lies. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Evil is a concept born out of his lie.
Our belief in evil as a power on its own in this devil vs God scenario ascribes him his authority. Evil is merely God-lessness! It is darkness from the removal of light. It is cold from the removal of warmth. Pain from the removal of healing. Sadness from the removal of joy. Evil is simply what remains when we remove the attributes of God from our lives, our families, our communities, our nation, our world.
These serve to turn us from God and remove the presence of God in our life. Everything he tempts us with, power, greed, lust, etc. That more is better, that better is best! Keeping up with the Joneses turns into a fight to beat the Joneses!
It was this way from the beginning. He lied to Eve by telling her eating the fruit would make her like God and that God was just trying to keep her from having the knowledge and power He had! He lied to Cain when he caused him to murder out of jealousy. He caused David to pursue Bathsheba out of lust and then ultimately murder to cover his guilt. He caused Judas to betray his Messiah out of greed. That has to come first. Where light is present, darkness is not.
When you submit yourself to God , you flood your life with His light, chasing away darkness! The enemy WILL flee from it! Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Resist the lies , resist the temptations, resist his attempt at making you believe he has power over you. God is in control! God is the ONLY power and authority!
Remember to look for the Phoenix boss and defeat it before proceeding to the lower floors. Look for the four pillars in the four corners of the Penumbra floor. Same goes for the Umbra and Abyssal floors.
