Satan's last speech is to Eve, trying to convince her to eat the apple. His first speech was to Beelzebub trying to convince him to never return to God in Heaven. I think this just shows that the only real power that Satan has is his power of deceit and temptation which are both very powerful and very effective. While God has many more powers than Satan has, he doesn't appear to have, or just wouldn't ever use, the power of deceit.
I think you've hit on perhaps the ultimate stategy of evil, to appear to be that which it is not!
