There are so many fools in the world for the devil to operate upon, it gives him the advantage oftentimes.
The devil has no power over us only as we permit him. The moment we revolt at anything which comes from God, the devil takes power.
We came to this earth that we might have a body and present it pure before God in the celestial kingdom. The great principle of happiness consists in having a body. The devil has no body, and herein is his punishment. He is pleased when he can obtain the tabernacle of man. . . . All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.
