How and why Satan torments people

Satan has many ways of tormenting people, through lies and deception, he tries to confuse us to blind us and separate us from God and the knowledge of him. Satan cannot physically, spiritually or mentally harm us without God permission, but those who are far apart from God can easily be overcome by his lies and deceit.

Often times we see in Satan tormenting people in movies such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose, but what most people don’t know is that Satan has no power over mankind unless God allows it because we are far from him. The Bible makes it clear that Christians have the victory over Satan but the same can not be said for unbelievers. Those who are far from God are at risk of being tormented by Satan because he seeks to confuse them even more. He uses lies to get us to believe that God is against us and that they will never find peace. This is why there are such a high amount of suicides every year. Satan tricks these people into believing that there is nothing more to life and that they are better off dead.

In some cases, Satan uses his demons to torment us by appearing to certain people causing fear to overtake the person. Fear is a weakness that allows the person causing it to take control of the situation, Satan knows this fact and that is why he torments people this way. Either he takes control of them mentally, causing them to lose their sanity which often times leads to haness crimes, or he can even possess them like what was seen in The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
