Introduction: Yes, there are five things the Devil cannot do. When we as believers come unto this principle, we'll become
victorious overcomes(1 John 4:4; 1 John 5:4; 1 John 3:9).
The Devil cannot Love, cannot live Holy, cannot be Obedient, cannot tell the Truth, cannot be Humble. Yes, we have the
power through these five smooth stones(1 Samuel 17:40; John 4:14). Three things we must realize in life : our calling,
our gifts, our talents.
