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 – March 12, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 10 - Satan chose the title, the Most High, because he wants the glory that God has! Gen 14:18-19 Isa 42:8 HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.

1. Satan’s major purpose behind these five “I wills” is to be like the Most High, not to attempt to be unlike God.

2. Those under the influence of his false doctrine teach others how to improve human nature while ignoring the new creature created by God.

3. The presence of gross evil in the world is not due to Satan’s intention to have it so, rather it indicates Satan’s inability to be like the Most High!

Jn 18:36 “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”

Mat 26:52-53 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?”

4. Satan’s ambition to be like God has led him to take on more than he can handle.

5. Satan deceives the world and the church into thinking that he is totally opposite of God, which is true inwardly; but what makes his deceptions so great are the overt similarities that he has with God.

6. Satan is after worship from man; during the tribulation period he will demand the worship of the people of the earth or they will pay the penalty of death.

7. Any plans to clean up the world and make it a better place to live complements Satan’s evil goals and policies to be like God!

8. All the counterfeit systems Satan has simply reveal his desire to be like the Most High.

9. Religion is Satan’s counterfeit - a. Counterfeit Gospel, 2Co 11:3-4. b. Counterfeit Ministers, 2Co 11:13-15.

c. Counterfeit Doctrine, 1Ti 4:1. d. Counterfeit Communion table, 1Co 10:19-21. e. Counterfeit Spirituality, Gal 3:2-3.

f. Counterfeit Righteousness, Mat 19:16-28. g. Counterfeit self-righteousness, Mat 23:13-36.

h. Counterfeit Power and dynamics (miracles, healing, tongues), 2Th 2:8-10. i. Counterfeit System of gods, 2Th 2:3-4.

Isa 14:15 - This is the third fall of Satan which will be fulfilled at the end of the Millennium.

Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

“you will be thrust down” = jaradh = he will receive this action

Rev 20:10 and Mat 25:41 indicate Satan will spend eternity in the lake of fire with members of the human race who rejected Christ as Savior, Rev 20:12-15.

Isa 14:15-17 This earth becomes the theater of the invisible war.

Jn 17:4 “I glorified Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to do.”

The earth will be the scene of the final triumph of TLJC and Satan’s final defeat.

Before Satan’s fall, there was one will in the universe - the will of God.

(1) There was no previous example of sin and rebellion. Satan started the first conspiracy against God!

(2) He was created beautiful and perfect; he lacked nothing as the greatest of all creatures.

(3) Satan’s greatest of all intelligence gave him greater light and understanding of the greatness and goodness of the God whom he sinned against.

(4) His highest position gave him the privilege of the greatest service to God. He used his authority against God rather than for God.

(5) In his perfection and holiness, he had the privilege of intimate fellowship with God.

1. Banishment from heaven; his privileges and position will be permanently lost.

2. Corruption of character. The “star of morning, son of the dawn,” now has become Satan, the opposer and adversary of all that God is.

3. Perversion of power. Satan’s power, once used for God’s glory and the good of His creatures, is now turned to disruptive and destructive purposes.

a. He used his power to weaken the nations, Isa 14:12. b. To cause the earth and governments to tremble, Isa 14:16. c. His prisoners have no relief, Isa 14:17.

4. Retention of some of his dignity, Jud 9. 5. He is destined to the pit. He will “be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit,” Isa 14:15, Rev 20:3,10.

1. God is perfect, therefore His plan is perfect, and He allowed evil to come into being.

2. Perhaps He allowed angels to sin to give an explicit example of the wretchedness and degeneration of sin and rebellion.

3. He used the test to gain a group of angels to serve Him from their own free will and personal love.

4. To finally show the grace of God in the preserving of some angels and in the redemption of unworthy, sinful man.

In man, God will magnify His grace forever before angels.
