A Letter From Satan To The So-Called Christian
Are You A "True Follower Of Jesus"?! ...Does You Lifestyle Show It?!
Watch this video - then ask yourself - if some - or all of the sins mentioned - are an intentional, habitual and/or continual part - of your everyday "Christian" Life.
If so - you need to examine yourself - to see if you are a "True Follower Of Jesus".

Does You Lifestyle Show It?!
Or Do You Have Lifetime?
Why would Satan want Christians who fail short of God's standards to re-evaluate their lifestyles, potentially coursing them to turn away from their sins? Would that not run contrary to his agenda?
(I'm assuming that, by Satan, they mean the Devil rather than the original idea of an celestial agent of God who tests the faith of the faithful by subjecting them to hardships, as seen in Hiob)
The OP has never read CS Lewis's "The Screwtape Letters".
I think he should agree that before he does, the likes of Josh Buggar & Roy Less are already screwed over.
What did a certain man say to Mary Magdalene after he'd forgiven her...?!
You might think "Well, if Satan's saying it, a Christian would disregard him anyway."
An explanation is that the heading "A Letter From Satan To The So-Called Christian" and the video that follows it is the quotee 'in character' as Satan.
The following text "Are You A "True Follower Of Jesus"?! ...Does You Lifestyle Show It?!" etc. is underneath the video with the quotee 'out of character'.
It still doesn't make sense, because Satan would not say to a Christian "I've fooled you into believing so-and-so and blinded you to so-and-so."
@ Citizen Justin:
I honestly thought the same thing here. The fact that it was in the description of the video meant that it was kind of out of context...but then, the video wasn't any better. Like, for Satan to say any of that would be out of character. Satan's supposed to be a master propagandist. He wouldn't be gloating to somebody who could still get away from him. He'd be...I don't know, claiming to be God and telling them how well they were doing. Or telling a person on an 8 day binge to pet their neighbor's carrots from under the fence, then stab them when they complain. Or dressing in a white fur coat and taking his friend to an improvised night club to start some shit by stabbing people on camera, with the end goal of turning homeboy into a Devilman.
Idk, this is why I'm not Satan.

I rather liked one fictional Satan, in End of Days, who fully admits who he is, and what he's doing . . . and says he's not really all that different from God, it's just God has a better PR department.
If things go well, "it's all the Will of God." If things go bad, "God works in Mysterious Ways." (Bit of paraphrasing.)
Of course, all this said while Arnie is trying to shoot him while walking around Arnie's apartment.
And say what you want . . . it stands up to scrutiny as a serious argument. Everything wonderful in your life is the will of the Lord God, giving you great wonders. Everything you lose, every person who dies, no matter how . . . even if your wife and daughter are killed by psychopathic mob members (and it does happen in real life!), that is God working in mysterious ways. And never, at any time, is it just the way things go, because that's the way things went . . . and the choices people made.
Confused?
