Tonight we study the second (of three) special things we pray to be delivered from in the sixth petition of the Lord's Prayer by Thomas Watson's guidance: the evil of Satan [the Evil One], for He was the first inventor of evil, his inclination is only to evil and his constant practice is doing evil, he has some hand in all the evils and mischiefs that fall out in the world, he hinders from good, he provokes to evil, and he is a restless and mighty adversary.
We also shared a lot from chapters in Our Ancient Foe: Satan's History, Activity, and Ultimate Demise (P&R)--mostly a collection of lectures at an Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology. The chapters shared from tonight were, R. Kent Hughes, "Deliverance from the Evil One"; Joel R. Beeke's, "Persevering in Satan's Sieve"; and Thomas J. Nettles, "The Final Demise," with special focus on Scriptures and stories about Satan being the prince and god of this world and constantly seeking to do evil to us and make us do evil.
