Isaiah 14:12-17 (KJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
That made the world as a wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
If I were to leave you with a thought, it would simply be: Don't sleep on the devil.
The purpose of this writing is not to give glory unto the devil but to give acknowledgment of his existence on planet Earth.
The devil is not a figment of man's imagination. Nor is he a fictious character with a pitchfork and pointed horns on his head.
The devil was created by God as a beautiful cherubim above all other angels to cover the throne of God until the sin of pride was found in him.
The Lord expelled Lucifer out of heaven along with the third of angels he decieved to follow after him. They are now in the depths of the earth making war against man.
Lucifer is now mutated and is called the devil or Satan. He is a very real being and responsible for much of the chaos around the world today.
The referred names of the devil are Lucifer, the dragon, the serpent, the wicked one, lying wonder, the accuser of the brethren, the thief, and the enemy.
There are not many sermons on the devil. I believe a little more attention should be given to him in terms of his existence in the lives of humanity.
Unfortunately, there are people who believe that the devil doesn't exist. These individuals have been deceived with a great deception. In addition to this, many people don't believe that hell even exists. They believe that hell is here on earth, but the devil is a liar.
The devil's kingdom is in the depths of the earth, but he desires to set up his kingdom upon the earth. Just as the Lord Jesus desires to save souls for the kingdom of heaven, the enemy desires to destroy souls for the kingdom of hell.
Proverbs 14:12 says, There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Religion is a tool of death. People have been hoodwinked into believing that there is more than one way to God. Secret societies, fraternities, sororities, Islam, freemasonry, catholicism, Mormonism, and other forms of religious idolatry are leading people to the gates of hell.
The devil has done a good job with religion and the works of the flesh. Satan has defrauded his followers into thinking that he has a heavenly kingdom for those who serve him, but his kingdom is a place of weeping and sorrows.
The devil has hoaxed people into believing that he is good and that God is evil. The enemy has defrauded man into thinking that he is the giver of life and that God is preventing man from reaching his highest potential in life.
In St. John 10:10, Jesus says, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Abundant life is only found in Jesus. He is the only one who can save your soul from the pits of hell.
In St.John 8:12, Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
There is no life or light in the devil. He presents himself as an angel of light, but he really is an angel of darkness. He is not the true light that came from heaven.
America is on the path to becoming a socialist and then communist nation, which is a plan of evil. The end goal of socialism is communism. The end goal of communism is new world order with the persecution of the church, which is already underway.
Don't sleep on the devil. He is not to be played with, and he hates you more than you'll ever know. The devil hates you because you can be forgiven and redeemed from sin but he can not.
That's why it's important that you ask the Lord Jesus into your life to forgive you for your sin and receive salvation. He's the only one who can save you from the wrath of God that's coming to this sin sick world.
How shall you escape if you neglect so great salvation? You must be born again. You must mean business with God. The Lord created heaven for you, and he created hell for the devil and his demons. If you reject Jesus Christ, at the end of your life, you'll open your eyes in hell. There is no purgatory. Jesus loves you. Allow him to live through you in righteousness and true godliness.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus Christ is Lord, and Jesus Christ is God.
Give the Lord a praise Amen.
