Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, only if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is; you have believed [trusted] in Him for His promised gift of eternal life) John 3:16, John 6:47 as a few examples; it is very important to prepare yourself to learn God's Word so the Holy Spirit can teach you as to what your reading or hearing is true or false. To be taught by the Holy Spirit you must be filled with the Holy Spirit which means abiding in Christ. To place yourself in fellowship with God the Holy Spirit [also called abiding in the Christ], take a moment to simply name, cite or acknowledge [confess] your known unconfessed sins privately to God (i.e.; with your thoughts directed only to God the Father). Why? Because you cannot grow spiritually if you’re not abiding in Christ [in fellowship with Him] when you take in bible truth.
1 John 1:9, says: “If we confess [meaning to simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known unconfessed sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins];” NKJV (New King James Version); we call this REBOUND; read the full doctrine as to “why” we need to use 1 John 1:9 to grow spiritually. Left click the following link to learn more and fully understand the doctrine of Rebound; which answers the question, why do I need to keep confessing my sins all the time? REBOUND
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus, The Christ alone for eternal life [salvation] and you will be saved [receive Eternal Life] the very micro second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says, “he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness [Num 21:4-9], even so must the Son of Man be lifted up [the cross], that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV
Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:

NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references;” if just hover doesn’t work, do a “control-left-click,” if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
Internet Church Service – January 15, 2023; The Angelic Conflict, Part 2. HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.
1Ti 5:21 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.
Elect and fallen angels observe the human race and human history.
The angelic conflict is the result of prehistoric creatures being in opposition to God, which began with the fall of Satan and continued until all angelic creatures had made a decision for or against God.
It refers to two trials of Satan and the fallen angels, one in prehistoric times, the other during human history.
The devil is not interested in getting people to sin. He is vitally interested in getting people to perform human good.
2Co 2:11 in order that no advantage be taken of us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Satan is actively interested in attacking any believer anywhere who knows Bible doctrine.
Immorality is embarrassing to Satan because he is the ruler of this world.
As the greatest creature ever created, this world is an insult to his leadership.
Human good appeals to approbation lust, to power lust, and to the area of strength of the old sin nature.
Government, morals, education, art, commercialism, vast enterprises and organizations, and religious activity are included in the Satan’s plan to deceive the human race.
The presence evil in the world is not due to Satan’s intention to have it so but his inability to control the human race.
Government, morals, education, art, commercialism, vast enterprises and organizations, and religious activity are included in the Satan’s plan to deceive the human race.
God’s plan for the human race is not to clean up the devil’s world; it is to offer salvation to the unbeliever and knowledge of doctrine to the believer.
1Ti 2:4 He desires all men to be saved and to come to the epignosis knowledge of the truth.
The devil, through his cosmic control, will give advancing believers a great deal of attention, because they constitute the greatest threat to his cosmic system.
Point 2. - The Existence of Rational Creatures -
The prehistorical category - angels, Psa 8:4-6; Heb 2:6-7; 2Pe 2:11. The historical category - human beings, mankind, man.
Satan is the most brilliant, most attractive, most personable creature who has ever lived. He has the greatest personality that has ever existed in a creature.
His real name is Lucifer, the son of the morning, the anointed cherub! He was at that time the highest of all creatures.
The cherub at that time was the highest and most superior form of angelic life. Satan was the greatest of the cherubs.
Today the seraphim are the highest ranking angels, above the cherubs.
Anyone who believes on TLJC [The Lord Jesus Christ] actually becomes greater than Adam, who was created perfect, because believers have the very righteousness of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Jo 3:9 “No one who is born of God sins, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”
1Pe 1:23 “for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God.”
Rom 7:17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin [the sin nature] which indwells me.
Rom 7:20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not wish, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.
Adam was created perfect, but after his fall a higher category of humans came into existence, called the children of God. The same is true in the angelic realm.
Lucifer, the son of the morning, the anointed cherub, was created perfect and was the highest ranking angel at that time.
Just as anyone who follows God will become greater than Adam, so certain angels who followed God were rewarded with a higher rank than Satan!
That higher rank is called seraphim, angels with 6 wings.
Because of God’s perfect justice, righteousness, and immutability, we are forced to the conclusion - just as members of the human race are rewarded for faithfulness to TLJC [The Lord Jesus Christ], so angels were given rewards for living in something similar to our PPOG [Predesigned Plan of God].
1Co 15:40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
1Co 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for stars differ from stars in glory
1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead
God never has and never will coerce or force angelic or human volition to make choices.
