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 – February 19, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 8 -
The element in sin which reveals total rebellion against God is the sin of independence.
Anything done outside of the will of God becomes a form of evil in the sense of being independent from God.
The majority of believers are much more occupied with their own life and their own will over the will of God.
God’s grace will take some members of the human race, created lower than the angels, and lift them up to an eternal citizenship in the highest realm.
Heb 2:6 “What is man, that Thou rememberest him? Or the son of man, that Thou art concerned about him?”
Heb 2:7 “Thou hast made him for a little while lower than the angels; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor, And hast appointed him over the works of Thy hands;”
Heb 2:8 “Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him.”
Jn 17:21 that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.
Jn 17:22 And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one;
Jn 17:23 I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst love Me.
Jn 17:24 Father, I desire that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me; for Thou didst love Me before the foundation of the world.
Satan has no right either by position or redemption to claim this eternal citizenship and this highest of all heavenly positions, so he is very angry!
His self-seeking intention is an outrage against the Creator’s plan and purpose for the creature.
Rom 1:25 exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:23 They exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Isa 14:13 - “will raise” = rum = “I will cause myself to rule”
Although Satan was appointed to the guardianship of the throne of God, he lusted for a throne of his own to rule over the “stars of God.”
Satan is the prince of the power of the air, Eph 2:2. Satan is the god of this world, 2Co 4:4. He is the ruler of this world, Jn 12:31.
This earth is a terrible reflection of Satan’s rulership.
“I will sit on the mount of the assembly in the recesses of the north” = rulership over the government of the earth, Isa 2:1-4. (Messianic recognition.)
The original sin was a thought of independence from God.
Morality is not spirituality! The worst sins are related to what you think or say, such as gossip, maligning, jealousy, and pride.
In most churches, people are evaluated on the basis of their obvious, overt sins.
.
Isa 14:13 - This was power lust expressing a desire to rule over God. “ascend” = to rule or to have the sovereignty in heaven.
Isa 14:13 - Satan wanted to rule over the angels on the earth as well as those in heaven.
Isa 14:14 - Clouds are used to represent the divine presence of God or His glory. Exo 16:10, Psa 104:3, 1Ki 8:10, Isa 19:1.
Satan wanted the glory which belonged to God alone. Mat 24:30; Rev 1:7.
Satan’s ambition was to take over the functions of God.
Satan has neither the character nor the personality to control all types of creatures, or to bring them into eternal compatibility with God.
Satan wants the glory but he doesn’t have the ability - that same spirit is manifested everywhere in the human race.
