SATAN-OUR ENEMY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Part 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“The Origin of Evil”<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

THE PERSON-HOOD OF SATAN<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mind<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

2 Corinthians 11:3 (ESV) <\/b>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.<\/p>\n

Will<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

2 Timothy 2:26 (ESV) <\/b>
\n26 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.<\/p>\n

Emotion<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Revelation 12:17 (ESV) <\/b>
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.<\/p>\n

THE NATURE OF SATAN<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Accuser<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Revelation 12:10 (ESV) <\/b>
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, \u201cNow the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.<\/p>\n

Liar<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

John 8:44 (ESV) <\/b>
\n44 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father\u201d\u2122s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tempter<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

1 Thessalonians 3:5 (ESV) <\/b>
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.<\/p>\n

Genesis 3:1-5 (ESV) <\/b>
\n1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. <\/span>He said to the woman, \u201cDid God actually say, \u201d\u02dcYou shall not eat of any tree in the garden\u201d\u2122?\u201d
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And the woman said to the serpent, \u201cWe may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but God said, \u201d\u02dcYou shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.\u201d\u2122\u201d
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But the serpent said to the woman, \u201cYou will not surely die.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

THE ORIGIN OF SATAN<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ezekiel 28:11-17 (ESV) <\/b>
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Moreover, the word of the LORD<\/span> came to me:
\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u201cSon of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD<\/span>: \u201cYou were the signet of perfection,<\/span> full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.<\/span>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering,<\/span> sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper,<\/span> sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings<\/span> and your engravings.<\/span> On the day that you were created they were prepared.<\/span>
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God;<\/span> in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.<\/span>
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created,<\/span> till unrighteousness was found in you.<\/span>
\n16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;<\/span> so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub,<\/span> from the midst of the stones of fire.<\/span>
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.<\/span> I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings,<\/span> to feast their eyes on you.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 14:12-15 (ESV) <\/b>
\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0\u201cHow you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn!<\/span> How you are cut down to the ground,<\/span> you who laid the nations low!<\/span>
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You said in your heart, \u201d\u02dcI will ascend to heaven;<\/span> above the stars of God I will set my throne on high;<\/span> I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;<\/span>
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.\u201d\u2122<\/span>
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

1 John 4:4 (ESV) <\/b>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.<\/p>\n

1 John 4:4 (NASB) <\/b>
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
