Elder Holland taught: ….I have of necessity also spoken of
el diablo, the diabolical one, the father of lies and lust, who will do
anything he can to counterfeit true love, to profane and desecrate true love
wherever and whenever he encounters it. And I have spoken of his desire to
destroy us if he can.
When we face such temptations in our time, we must declare,
as young Nephi did in his, “I will give place no more for the enemy of my
soul.” We can reject the evil one. If we want it dearly and deeply enough, that
enemy can and will be rebuked by the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(“Place no more for the Enemy of My Soul”. General Conference April 2010)
