"Satan" exists to prove them right

If so, that is very sad. The first two principles of my gospel are:
1. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
2. RepentanceFaith leads to repentance, which eventually leads to receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost as a constant comfort and companion.
What is repentance if not to become personally empowered to overcome satan? There is just as much power in repentance as there is in faith.
