“He who is born of God keeps himself so that the evil one cannot touch him”(1 John 5:18). There is only one place where Satan cannot touch the child of God- and that is in the light. Satan is the prince of darkness that has been given all areas of darkness by God. If a believer moves into areas of darkness, Satan immediately gets power over him. This is why it is dangerous to have guile, to do sneaky things, or to read, or say, or do anything that we would be ashamed of doing in the light, where other believers can see it. Just as Satan is the prince of darkness, he is also the “father of lies”. All who tell lies give room to Satan in their lives. To be truthful does not mean, however, that you have to reveal all your secrets to others. No. Even God has secrets that he does not reveal to everyone, and you are not better than God. So you keep your secrets. But when you speak, it must always be the truth. And you must never seek to give others the impression that you are more spiritual than you really are.
