His power does not lie in deception, but in the ability to perform supernatural phenomena to either win followers or destroy them - which ever comes first. This is not the Satan of the Bible. To accept the claims of paranormal practitioners without challenging them is to give glory and undue credit to the Devil. Satan desires us to fear him and his destructive activity. Our culture today, within and outside the Christian Church, is very quick to glorify the activity of Satan and attribute him powers which he does not possess.
Fear is a form of worship.
If we fear Satan and the activities of darkness we are in fact participating in a form of Satan Worship. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Unfortunately, Hollywood does not allow for the promises afforded us through scripture.
