It reminds of a story once told by Smith Wigglesworth, a great man of God.
There was this lady leaving her apartment on her way to work. But following her out the door was her little dog. He followed after her, tailing wagging, jumping, playing around. The lady nicely said, go back and stay home for mommy now. The dog just looked at her, tail wagging. She make it to the bus stop but low and behold the little doggy just didn't get the message and kept jumping around playing around her ankles. At this point the lady stooped down and said, mommy has to go to work and you've got to run along back home, now be a good doggy and obey. The dog just looked at her and began wagging his tail profusely. Come on doggy, this is no place for you. Soon she saw the bus and knew she better do something quick. She looked at the dog right in the eyes stamped her foot and shouted....BEAT IT MUTT!!. The dog took one look, eyes wide open, tail between his legs and took off towards home with all his might. Said Smith, that is the way you treat the devil.
