My pastor told me that Satan will tempt us with money, power, material success and sex.
My question is who do I have to speak to, to get that stuff?

one word, inflation. the immortal soul today isn't what it was worth in biblical times. hell, the mom and pop soul swappers were all but priced out of the market a couple decades ago. sure, your great grandfather could expect to leverage his soul for sweet little faustian bargain, but the median immortal soul back in the 1920's had 600% more purchasing power than it has today.
a soul today? you'd be lucky to get a degree at mid tier college or the maiming of an athletic rival. market is especially saturated now.

I think we all should listen to George, he was the best of them all.

Why did it lost value? So many people selling? One thing for sure: these topics are being pushed hard into the new generations.

souls were steadily declining in value since the beginning, but at a relatively manageable rate relative to nominal gross inequity, with peaks and valleys correlated to strife and extended periods of conflict. watershed may have been 1882's Die fröhliche Wissenschaft, then you had the bear markets of 1970s, and the soul bubbles of the 80s and 90s (where their speculative value outpaced returns on sin). now, you might as well wallpaper your house in souls. I know at least one soul seller who decided if they're going to take a bath on their soul investments they might as well, and just keeps them in their tub. if you have a soul, I know a guy who can get you a limited edition beanie baby and half eatten bagel, know what I mean?

Not sure how we ended up with "soul economics" but I definitely need more of this in my life!

Most of us here are actually atheistic satanists, so we don’t believe in anything, but, if you ever find out dm me please

Sign me up!! In my catholic upbringing we were taught that anything that brings you physical pleasure is essentially ticket to hell. Each of the 7 deadly sins can bring you pleasure albeit maybe not permanently.

YUP. If it feels good, youre going to hell. Catholic schooling in a nutshell.

In short: yourself. Responsibility to the responsible. You, and you alone, are responsible for your life. Take the old adage "Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it."

I think the real temptation is to accept those things to the detriment of others. There's nothing inherently wrong with prosperity or power, but it can be a much bigger lever for abuse, and makes it much easier to put on blinders and ignore helping others.
Enjoy yourself, and don't let others spoil your enjoyment. But don't be a douche about it, and spoil the fun for others.

Usually you just ask an employer and you must have certain skills. The sex part can be bought with the money you earn or if you're patient and committed enough, you can find a partner. Power and money can't really be separated from each other. More money means more power, and more money means more material success.
Now once you get a good employer, you gotta be consistent from then on. Follow everything to the letter unless you see a way that it can be innovated. To go up the ladder you'll just need some good ol fashion social Darwinism. But careful on how you use the power. You're not a priest, so there's no way anyone will let you off easily if you make a mistake.
