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.
The Angelic Conflict - Part 39 - The battle of the garden of Eden, though on the surface a victory for Satan, was in reality the beginning of his ultimate defeat.
Gen 3:1-24 In the angelic conflict or the invisible war, the drama begins here on the stage of human history.
It would have been impossible to reach man apart from the destruction of his confidence in the Creator and trust in His word.
Mat 14:31 “O you of little faith [doctrine], why did you doubt?”
Mark 11:23 Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain [major obstacle], “Be taken up and cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him.
Rom 14:23 whatever is not from faith is sin.
Beginning with Eve, Satan has been successful to the extent that the majority of believers have been detached from the only source of spiritual life, the Word of God.
The divine explanation of the present fallen state of man and the ruined condition of our race.
He was making the blunt suggestion that man had rights and should declare his independence from God.
The subtle devices of our enemy, the devil, who possessed the serpent and deceived the woman as he outrightly denied the word of God, Gen 3:4!
The universal tendency of human nature to cover its own moral shame by a device of man’s own handiwork, Gen 3:7.
The spiritual effects of sin - man seeking to flee from God, Gen 3:8.
God searching for fallen man while fallen man hides from God, Gen 3:9-10.
The utter powerlessness of man to walk in the path of righteousness when divine grace is withheld from him, Gen 3:11-12.
The gracious provision which God has made to meet our great need through His seed, TLJC! Gen 3:15
The attitude of God toward the guilty sinner, Gen 3:21.
Scripture indicates the great interest of the angelic hosts in all of the events which concern the earth, mankind, and the whole plan of God.
Satan tries to deceive the new creature called man into following him and rejecting God.
The invisible war, which had remained quiet for an unknown period when the earth had been in ruin, was now renewed in great intensity.
He began to move through seductive temptation to get man away from God; he was seeking to get man to give allegiance to himself.
Everything that has ever come out of mankind for good since the origin of the human race was contained in Adam and his bride.
They were perfect in beauty, perfect in wisdom, perfect genius, but still no match for Satan!
Psa 104:15 Ecc 9:7 Deut 14:26
The fruit = tangible symbol God placed in the garden to remind man of his dependence upon God.
He had detached the woman from the Word of God, and by deception, from belief in the goodness of God.
It was man’s will that made it possible for him to depart from the plan of God, and it was against this will that Satan launched his attack.
Satan’s primary strategy was dictated by his hatred of God, not by hatred of the creature whom he saw in the garden.
He would seek to detach man from the will of God, and to increase the number of his own worshipers by attaching man to himself.
The original sin in the garden of Eden resulted in the spiritual death of Adam which was passed down to the entire human race, Rom 5:12-21.
John 12:31 - “the ruler of this world” 2Co 4:4 - “The god of this world” Eph 2:2 - “the prince of the power of the air”
Once Satan convinced Adam and the woman to rebel against God’s command and eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he thought he had defeated God!
At this time, there were still only two wills in the universe, God’s will, and the devil’s will.
He wished to detach man from God, but he also wished to attach man to himself.
Man is dependent upon God and if that dependence is destroyed something must take its place; the devil hoped that it would be a dependence upon himself.
The last thing that Satan anticipated is that man would not only desire independence of God, but he would aspire to be self-sufficient like Satan.
