Can Satan Do Miracles

• Pharaoh’s magicians performed miracles
• The antichrist and false prophet will perform miracles
• The Bible speaks of counterfeit signs and wonders.

• Satan, described in the Bible, can and does win battles for the mind. He takes devilish pleasure every time a human falls into sin and rejects God. Can he get away with his malevolence? While Satan does spread terror, his strategies are destined for defeat (Revelation 20:10).
  
  
• Satan is the author of sin and evil. For a time, God is allowing him to roam the earth like a roaring lion, devouring human prey. The ultimate source of all persecution, he hooks his evil character into the heart of a person’s soul to influence the mind, emotions, and will (John 13:2).
  
  
• Satan is not omnipresent – he cannot be in more than one place at a time. Only God is everywhere, only God knows everything.
  
  
• Satan uses supernatural schemes and tactics to overcome his victim. Satan is a supernatural being with great power to deceive (Job 1:7).
  
  
• Satan and his demon followers can attack both internally and externally yet escape unnoticed as the instigator of strife and suffering. Possession and oppression of people marks their work.
  
  
• Ruling from the unseen spirit realm, Satan commands his demons to possess or oppress his victims. He is responsible for tempting sinners; blinding their eyes with lies; leading them into sin; and then slandering them to God (Genesis 3).
  
  
• Satan, if allowed by God, can influence people’s speech (Matthew 16:22-23).
