Satan Desireth to Have You, That He May Sift You as Wheat
The Savior warned His followers about the power and influence of Satan saying:
Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. 3 Nephi 18:18
Satan Desireth to Have Thee

Who is satan?
He is a son of God, and one of his names is Lucifer. D&C 76:26
Where does he come from?
Are You in Tune with the Spirit? Three Ways to Verify Your Sources
The scripture teach that we are all influenced by “the Spirit/spirit”, but which one? Maybe this should be called the dichotomy of the spirit. Here is an example from the scriptures:
Embracing Our Individual & Unique Gift of the Holy Ghost
I’ve felt a desire to share some sacred experiences the Lord has given me. My whole purpose in sharing these experiences is to testify of Jesus Christ and the reality of the atonement. I hope by testifying of these things others will be strengthened spiritually and will be motivated to follow the Savior with full purpose of heart and receive all that He has for them.
The greatest concern I have is that those who read about my experiences will expect to receive the exact same experience in their life. I’m not sure it works that way. I think we need to explore our own unique gift of the Holy Ghost and learn how grow in it.

I read, Yearning for the Living God, by F. Enzio Busche a few years ago. He was a Seventy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
