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 43 - Point 11. How God is Glorified in the Angelic Conflict
How did the fall of Adam affect Satan in the angelic conflict?
Before the creation of the human race, God put a curse upon the earth when Lucifer and the fallen angels rebelled!
God had withdrawn from planet earth and left Satan and his followers to grieve over the chaotic mass of the earth.
Satan was utterly powerless with to do anything about the chaos which had come from a simple word of judgment from Almighty God.
The devastation of the universe was revealed in all of its chaos to Satan and all the fallen angels who had followed him!
Two separate battles are now being carried on: Satan against God in the invisible warfare, and man against God in human history.
Will Satan be able to organize mankind into a kingdom for himself?
Will man be able to organize himself, humanity, civilization, so that he can bring peace and order into his realm?
How far did man fall by his disobedience? Is it possible for him to climb back by himself to the heights which Adam knew before the rebellion?
Humanism says man did not fall, that he is on his way up.
“asps” = aspis = a small and most venomous serpent, the bite of which is fatal unless the part that was bitten is immediately cut away.
Some branches of Protestantism hold that though man fell, he still has the will to choose to go back up if he wishes to exercise it.
Man fell all the way into a pit described in the Scriptures as “death.”
1Co 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
Jer 17:9 The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?
Isa 1:5-6 The whole head is sick, And the whole heart is faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head There is nothing sound in it.
God’s plan is for both creatures, angels and humans, to realize how helpless and hopeless they are without Him!
Scripture reveals, in the human realm as well as in the invisible war, that Satan can do nothing for fallen man, and that fallen man can do nothing for himself.
God, man, or the devil: the three possible sources of hope.
God permits the holocausts of human history in order to demonstrate to the universe that neither Satan nor man can do anything for themselves or for each other.
