And behold, it is he who is the author of all sin. And behold, he doth carry on his works of darkness and secret murder, and doth hand down their plots, and their oaths, and their covenants, and their plans of awful wickedness, from generation to generation according as he can get hold upon the hearts of the children of men.
Satan gets a hold of our hearts only to the degree that we grant him access. He has no power but what we give him. He wants to fully manipulate us but can do so only if we let him. God, on the other hand, has the power, but he will never use it to control us. He wants us to yield to him out of love, and he will expand our power as we do so.
