Works of the Devil

To kill and destroy:

John 10:10 

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Sowing tares, tempting and sifting saints:

Matthew 4:3 

The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

Matthew 13:25 

But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

Luke 23:31 

For if men do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
Promoting counterfeit worship and miracles:

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 

9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 

10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 

11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 

12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

1 Corinthians 10:20 

No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

Causing storms:

Job 1:18-19 

18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, 

19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”

Ephesians 2:2 

in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
