Martin Luther had many personal encounters with Satan, whose existence was as certain to him as his own. More than once Luther threw the inkstand at Satan. Luther’s own doubts, carnal temptations, evil thoughts and external enemies convinced him that he was a marked man, singled out by Satan for destruction. Luther said Satan assumed visible form and appeared to him as a dog, a hog, a goat, or as a flame or star; and sometimes as a man with horns. Luther said, “He is noisy and boisterous and he is at the bottom of all witchcraft and ghost trickery.” Luther also believed the devil has no real power over believers. Satan, hates prayer, sacred music, the Cross and the Word of God. He flees as from a flaming fire. If the Scripture will not expel him, jeering and taunting will, “the devil,will bear anything better than to be despised and laughed at.”
