DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Follette emphasizes the devil's defeat at Calvary, highlighting how
the enemy is conscious of his impending defeat and intensifying his
attacks as the end times draw near. The devil will become frantic, using
various instruments in society to resist God's plan, but ultimately, he
will be captured in his own net. Follette also acknowledges the devil's
evasive and subtle nature, advising against reasoning with him as he is
unreasonable. He points out that God can even use the devil as a
servant, allowing demons to fulfill specific purposes, as seen with
Paul's experience of being buffeted by a 'messenger of Satan.'

When the devil looked at Calvary, he saw his Waterloo -- his defeat.
That's what is the matter with him. The devil is conscious of his
defeat. That is why, in the closing of this dispensation, the wroth of
the enemy is being felt all the time in more intense form, because he
sees the net drawing in. In the end, he will become fairly frantic. He
will possess, and move through every instrument he can find, in
politics, in society, in art and music, in every form that he can get
in. In the last days he is going to be captured in his own net. He sees
his utter defeat at Calvary.

A demon is as evasive and subtle as a snake.

I never reason with the devil. He is unreasonable.

The devil is a servant, after all, and God uses him when He wants to.
With Paul, He let a demon loose, "a messenger of Satan to buffet him."
