Satan

 "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" Genesis 1:27.

"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good..." Genesis 1:31.
Satan is trying to change God's creation by using illusions of the mind and crafty, cunning schemes to deceive people just as he always has since he used the serpent to deceive Eve. God created man and woman and said His creation was good. Sin is an issue of the heart and God did not create sin. What happens inside of us affects what happens to us and outside of us. Decisions we make have both temporal and eternal consequences. The only solution to deal with bad decisions and our sins is to believe in God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of our sins. Jesus does not say we can continue practicing sin or living in sin. He calls us to turn from it and repent of it. Satan is busy at work trying to deceive people, manipulate Scripture, and turn people from the truth just as he has from the beginning. The world is becoming more and more accepting of sin and open with it. Satan's time is running out and we are closer to the return of Christ and judgment day, than we have ever been.

Ouija Board

Ouija boards are not “magical” boards nor are they providing you with the ability to talk to your loved ones who have passed away. When a person participates in playing with an Ouija board, they are directly communicating with demons. Satan and his demons are always trying to deceive mankind.

Why did Satan sin?

Pride (Proverbs 16:18). Satan’s original name was Lucifer. He was the Guardian cherub in Eden (Ezekiel 28:14). He wore precious stones. He took notice of his beauty (Ezekiel 28:17). Seeing how beautiful he was, his pride took over, and he tried to replace God (Isaiah 14:13). Apparently, the angels had a freewill back then. Satan chose to sin. He got one-third of the other angels to follow him (Revelation 12:4). They all sinned and will face some dire consequences (Matthew 25:41).
Mankind also has free will. He can choose God or Satan. If he chooses God eternal life awaits him (John 3:16). If he chooses the world the same fate awaits him as Satan and the fallen angels (Galatians 5:19-21). It is pride that keeps people from inheriting eternal life.

Satan


The Bible clearly teaches us about the existence and truth of Satan. The Bible describes him being ' an opponent of mankind ' (Genesis 3:15), ' father of lies ' (John 8:44 b), and ' persecutor ' (Revelation 12:10). " mans " enemy." Isaiah 14:12-17 explains that Satan is a former holy angel, but he tried to grab the honor and worship only for God. So God threw him out of heaven (see also Ezekiel 28:11-17).
Since God ousted him from heaven (with angels who rebelled against God), Satan's purpose is to fight God and lead people on earth in rebellion against Him. God has temporarily given him authority over this world; the ' god of this world ' (2 Corinthians 4:4) and "prince of power over the air ' ( Ephesians 2:2 )." So we must be prepared and watch out. The devil is like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour " (1 Peter 5:8).
An effective way of Satan to harass our lives is by deceit. Whenever Satan deceives us into who God is, what God says, who we are, and who He is, he has power and authority over our lives. Believing Satan does not exist is not true is one of Satan's most harmful lies.
In creation, God gave man authority on earth (Genesis 1:28). When Adam and Eve voluntarily disobeyed God, they gave up some of their authority. By listening to Satan's lies, they subjected themselves to the devil. But, on the cross, Jesus stripped Satan of his authority: " It's time to judge this world. It is time to judge the ruler of this world " (John 12:31). " So the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil " (1 John 3:8). Satan has no longer authority over those who are in Christ unless they give Satan the right whenever they listen and believe his lies.
A lot of misinformation about Satan comes from Hollywood and other flawed sources of information. We deserve to obtain information in the Bible for truth in this matter and other things about God and faith. The Bible clearly teaches us that Satan truly exists, and the Bible gives us an idea of how he moves. There is no reason for us to fear Satan because his power is so small compared to the power of God. But the Bible teaches us we should not be complacent in our spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10-18). The key is submitting to God and fighting against the devil (James 4:7), knowing that Satan was defeated by Jesus on the cross and his end - the eternal judgment of God - is certain (Revelation 19:20).

Welcome to the world today.....
Where sex is free and love is expensive. Where losing a phone is more painful than losing your virginity. Where modernization means nudity, profanity, and if you don't drink/smoke dope you're out of fashion/style. Where boys stay boys and never want to become men, and girls become men to rule over them. Where if you don't fool your partner it's because you're not clever enough. Where the bathrooms have become photography studios. Where pizza delivery is faster than the emergency response. Where people fear thieves and terrorists more than God. Where Worshipping God is difficult. Where temples turn into dating pools. Where lies become realities. Where the ladies fear pregnancy more than h.i.v., and babies are murdered so the ladies can escape. Where people become toxic when they speak the truth or you're resisting to turn from what is actually toxic. Where perspectives and clothes decide the value of a person. Where money is more important than family and God. Where children are ready to leave their families for their love of the moment, rebellion and spite. Where the marriage covenant is no longer sacred or taken seriously. Where it's easier to play house than to build a home. Where jumping from partner to partner for sex or attention is easier than waiting for the right partner for life.
Where love is a game.
Where evil no longer exists.
Whoever plays with the mind always gets happiness and who plays with the heart always hurts.
Modernity, love and liquid education...
The new generation of humanity.
II Timothy 3: 1-4
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
Matthew 24:12-13
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
There's still hope in Jesus, it's not too late!

Satan

 Satan is not all-knowing but he is a high-ranking angel who has lived for thousands of years... He's pretty astute at assessing human nature. And if his minions have been watching us, his evaluation will be even more well-informed.

Wolf in sheeps clothing

Think you can't be deceived? Lucifer appears as an angel of light. Remember, one-third blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)
of the angels went with Lucifer. "For our struggle is not against flesh a
Don’t be fooled:
1. SATAN IS THE FATHER OF LIES: (John 8:44). Lying is Satan’s primary weapon against God/Yahweh’s children. He directly contradicts the Word of Yahweh.
2) TEST THE SPIRITS: “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God/Yahweh because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1-2)
“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ/Messiah, who is the image of God/Yahweh.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)
3. BE A FRUIT INSPECTOR: Don’t think that just because someone in church leadership says something, it must be true. What is their fruit? “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves… Therefore by their fruits, you will know them.” (Matthew 7:15-16)
4. USE THE DEUTERONOMY 13 TEST: Deuteronomy 13 gives the guidelines for testing the validity of men’s interpretation of Scripture. “If the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods (this includes syncretizing pagan worship with the worship of Yahweh) and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord/Adonai your God/Elohim is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul...”
(Deuteronomy 13:1-3)
Serving other gods is a simple as obeying their commands and keeping their feasts as opposed to Yahweh’s instructions.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119: 105) and “The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple” (verse 130).

Judgment

There are people who want to remove the words male and female from the dictionary. The Bible says that God made us male and female. This whole thing goes back to one issue called rebellion against God and His established order. The Bible says it is appointed to man once to die and after this the judgment. God will hold us "all" accountable for how we live our lives, but God also sent us His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. Through Jesus, we can receive God's grace and forgiveness. The Bible says that "all" have sinned so unless we "all" turn to Jesus and place our faith in Him then we will not be forgiven and spend eternity in Hell. Gay, straight, homosexual, heterosexual, white or black we are all lost without Jesus and must pray to God and ask Jesus into our hearts and repent (turn) from our sins. We live in a world where Satan is trying to program our minds against God. Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us that we are in a spiritual battle. We need to open our eyes and realize Satan is our enemy and wants to turn us against God's established order. Saying that your this or that does not excuse your sin. Creating laws to protect your rights does not excuse your sin. Man's laws do not go above God's rule. God will always be God and sin will always be sin no matter what we call it. God offers us forgiveness for our sins and calls us to repent and turn from our sin. We will be held accountable on judgment day and trusting Jesus as our Savior is God's plan of forgiveness.

Satan

Satan tried to kill and defeat Jesus everywhere He went from the manger to the cross.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Jesus was in a constant battle with Satan from the time He was born (Matthew 2:16). Satan could not kill Jesus when He was a child so, when He became a man Satan tried to ruin Him.
After being baptized (Matthew 4: 1-11) Satan tried to get Jesus to turn stone into bread, a jump of 100 meters, off the top of the temple and, bow down and worship him (Satan). Satan used Jesus' brothers to tempt Him. John 7:5 tells us His brothers did not believe in Him. Satan also used Jesus disciples to tempt Him. Jesus' disciples had tried to drive an evil Spirit from a child, but they could not do it. Jesus was cross with His disciples. He said, "how much longer must I be patient with you Matthew (17:17)." Another time Jesus told His disciples He had to die on the cross so, Satan took this opportunity to use Peter to make Jesus angry. Jesus told Peter to get away from Him and called him Satan (Matthew 6:23). Of course, Jesus knew that Satan had caused Peter to say that.
After the Lord's supper, Jesus and the disciples went to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. In the garden, He went through a very difficult temptation.  He was thinking of how they would take Him to court, beat and kill Him. Jesus was so full of pain His sweat was like drops of blood (Luke 22:44). God chose Jesus to die (Romans 3:25). If Jesus had disobeyed God nobody could be saved.

Satan tried his best to hurt and tempt Jesus, but Jesus went all the way to the cross. Satan knew while Jesus was on this earth and felt hunger, pain, and joy that this was the best time to try and destroy the work God was doing.

Satan

Satan is referred to as “Beelzebub,” which means “lord of flies,” because of the dung pile of lies that he has deposited in the minds of those who follow him, rather than the Truth. “Poopy brained” is a Biblically-accurate analogy i.e. “they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth.”

Satan

It is a reality that we have an enemy that is prowling around like a lion who would like to harm us. We do not have to be fearful or paranoid about this, but it is helpful to be aware of his opposition. In this promise found in Isaiah, God makes the promise that no weapon that is formed against us by any enemy will prosper. He goes on to say that every tongue that judges us will be condemned.   It is encouraging to be reminded that God is on our side and He is fighting for us. No matter what or who opposes us, our Father promises to be with us through every storm and protect us by His great power. This is the heritage of the Lord. This is our birthright! ...To live under the protection of the Most High (Psalm 91). 
 I realize that this does not mean that we are completely insulated from trials in life. Jesus said in John 16:33 that as long as we are in this world, we will experience trouble. Praise God though that Jesus has overcome the world!   When I think of any opposing forces that are against me, whether they are earthly or demonic, I take great comfort in this promise from my Father... No weapon that has been created for my harm will succeed against me! That is my inheritance and it is your inheritance too!
