Yeah. Yes. C.S. Lewis says there's two mistakes we make about the devils. One is, you know, being believing that they don't exist. The other is, you know, believing that they are involved in everything that we do. I think there's a third mistake, which is believing that they exist and not caring like that belief, like just this idea that there's a there's something.

devil and he may be devils as C.S.

closeness with God. That's what he started in the garden in Genesis chapter three. And that's still what he's, that is still what he's doing today is he's trying to prevent us from having a close relationship with God. So when somebody's listening right now or watching, says, you know, when I go to pray, I'm just so distracted. All these thoughts come into my mind with spiritual warfare.

When I read the Bible, it just doesn't always make sense. You know, the words, I'm like, oh man, I don't really know what I'm reading. My mind wanders with that spiritual warfare. He does not want you growing that relationship with God. What you see in the garden is Adam and Eve. They were able to commune with God and talk with him.

And he talked back and they heard him and there was a relationship there. And then the serpent comes in between there and says, hey, God's trying to keep something from you. You know, if you eat from this, you're going to be like him. And ultimately, when God comes up and he says, Adam, where are you? Well, God knows where Adam is. He's omnipotent. He knows everything. He knows Adam's mind.

But when he says, where are you? It's not so much disappointment as much as it is distance. And then when we sin, we feel far from God. And so that's the feeling that we have whenever we sin. And so what's the solution? Again, spiritual warfare is, It's confession. It's repentance. It's like, hey, I'm going to turn from this. I'm going to make it really difficult for me to continue in this sin.

And so there's people watching and listening right now. You know, there's some stuff that owns you. You know, there's some things that you keep going back to like a dog to his vomit. And we've got to say, all right, don't. This is the enemy. He's trying to lure me away and hinder me because 2 Corinthians 4, verse 4 says that Satan is the God of this world, the lowercase g, God of this world.
