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 – April 16, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 15 is in HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.
The Angelic Conflict - Part 16 - Point 4. - Two Categories of Fallen Angels Under the Command of Satan -
(1) Non-operational angels.
(a) Gen 6 angels who were involved in the angelic attack to infiltrate the human race who are now incarcerated in Tartarus.
(b) The first demon assault army incarcerated in the abyss at this time, Rev 9:1-12.
(c) A second demon assault army stationed underneath the Euphrates river, Rev 9:13-21.
(2) Functional angels. These are the demons who are operational today.
They will attack upon the sounding of the seventh trumpet, Rev 11:15-12:17. This attack upon all Jews is the greatest wave of anti-Semitism the world has ever known.
This army will be involved in warfare in heaven. It will be defeated by the angelic order of battle led by Michael the archangel, Rev 12:7-8.
As a result of this defeat by Michael and the elect angels, the third demon assault army will attack planet earth, Rev 12:9.
Anti-Semitism is one of the greatest systems of evil from Satan.
The fact that he does attack the human race and he has already been sentenced reveals to us that an appeal trial is in existence.
Eph 6:12 “but against the rulers” = highest ranking demons in Satan’s organization. “against the powers” = demon officers who have phenomenal authority.
“against the world forces of this darkness” = Satan’s demon ambassadors who control many world rulers.
“against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” = spiritual forces of evil in the atmosphere, the stellar universe, even in the presence of God to represent Satan.
Point 5. - Demon attacks during the Church-age -
(1) During the Church-age, demon attacks on the unbeliever = demon possession or demon influence (demon doctrines enter the soul of the unbeliever).
(2) During the Church-age, demon attacks on believers = demon influence (the doctrine of demons invades the right lobe of the soul).
1Ti 4:1 “But the Spirit explicitly teaches that in latter periods of time some believers will withdraw from doctrine, concentrating on deceitful spirits and the doctrines from demons,
1Ti 4:2 by means of hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron.”
Negative volition toward doctrine creates a vacuum in the soul which sucks in all the false concepts that Satan has developed for you to be distracted from the plan of God.
2Co 2:11 “That no advantage be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his strategies.”
Eph 6:11 “Put on the full armor from God so that you might always be able to stand firm or hold your ground against the strategies or the schemes of the devil.”
Why is the devil allowed to have strategies and schemes of deception? We are involved in a conflict between two kingdoms and both are after your soul!
Satan’s offensive action demands, on our part, dependence on the Lord and the wall of fire.
(1) Eph 4:27 And do not give the devil an opportunity. opportunity = topos = a place or a room in your soul!
Gal 5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. The believer is commanded to be on the defensive against Satan’s strategy.
Why doesn’t God just say, “Don’t worry - I won’t let you be deceived, I’ll kill the devil?” Because we are in a conflict!
(2) Eph 6:13 “Pick up and put on the full armor from God that you may always be able to hold your ground in the day that evil attacks you.”
(3) Jm 4:7 “Hold your ground against the devil and he will flee from you.”
2Jo 1:8 Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.
(4) 1Pe 5:8-9 “Be sober minded, be alert, your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for some believer to devour; therefore, hold your ground against him by standing firm in doctrine.”
(5) Encouragement for defensive action against Satan is found in 1Jo 4:4. 1Jo 4:4
“Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”
