Satan can’t Win
And I Got Proof
Isaiah 14:12-27
Lucifer was the name that satan was known
Before his fall!
He was once the highest of all created
intelligences, standing as the anointed
cherub.
Ezekiel 28:14 says
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth
And I have set thee so: thou wast upon the
Holy mountain of God; thou hast walked
Up and down in the midst of the stones
Of fire
Satan was driven by ambition and he thought
He could lead a successful coop against
The throne of God
And there was his Great Fall!!
Satan’s power was completely taken away
From him!!!
In Vs 12 it called him Lucifer or (Day Star)
Talks about him being cut down by God!
And further it was his first rebellion
When he was cast down from heaven
And his last rebellion
When he was cast down to earth!!!
Satan expressed his desire to occupy the
Heavens
And he wanted to have charge above God
He planned a scaniving attempt to take charge
And not only did he want to occupy and be
In charge of heaven but he also wanted charge
Of God’s throne
Boy did he ever get cut down
So you see Satan only has the power that
We allow him to have!!!
God had allowed him to have some power
In the beginning
He already had a throne which was already
An important position,
But He wasn’t satisfied with that
He wanted full control!!!!
1st Kings 8:23 says:
Lord God of Israel, thee is no God like thee
In Heaven above, or on earth beneath
Who keepest covenant and mercy with thy
Servants that walk before thee with
All their heart!!
Satan wanted to slide into God’s position
But have I got news for him!!
Exodus 15:18 says
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever
SATAN CAN’T WIN AND I GOT PROOF!!
He wanted God’s strength and He wanted
God’s Power
Revelation 4:11 says:
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive
Glory and honor and power; for thou
Hast created all things and for thy pleasure
They are and were created!!
In our reading,
He said I will sit also upon the mount of the
Congregation in the sides of the north!!
Satan wanted God’s purity and He wanted
To gain God’s Glory
He said I will ascend above the heights of the
Clouds, I will be like the most high!!
You see Satan desired to look good in the
eyes of others
When his heart was full of wickedness
And evil And hatred, and deceit!!
NAHUM 1:3 SAYS
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power
And will not at all acquit the wicked;
The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and
In the storm, and the clouds
Are the dust of his feet!!!!
Satan must not have realized just how powerless
He was when He stood up against my GOD!!!
Didn’t he know that he couldn’t win
Sometimes we want to slide in there as well,
And try to take the glory, or honor or praise
Sometimes we’ll try to get in God’s way
Sometimes we’ll try to keep someone
From doin God’s will!!
But when we do then you better watch out!!!
Because God might just move you
Right out of the way just like he did
Ole Lucifer!!!!!
Satan didn’t realize what the consequences
Were gonna be!!!
We all desire to look good in the eyes of others
But let me tell you something
Looking good to others ain’t gonna
Get you to heaven
In fact it’ll probably even get you to
Hell quicker!!!!
Nahum 1:6 says
Who can stand before his indignation?
And who can abide in the fierceness
of his Anger
His fury is poured out like fire, and the
Rocks are thrown down by him!!!
Satan wanted God’s Prestige
And He was in Rebellion against God
Deut 21:18 says:
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son
Which will not obey the voice of his father
Or the voice of his mother and that
When they have chastened him
Will not hearken unto them!!!!
1st Samuel 15:23
For Rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry
Because thou hast rejected the word
Of the Lord!
So you see
Satan didn’t just want to have God’s place
Os his position, or his power or his purity
He wanted to be God himself
And He really felt in his heart that he
Could accomplish this great feat and become
The all mighty power of the Universe!!!
He coveted after that which belonged to
God and only God!!!
And this is a perfect example of what happens
When we let sin over-ride our thinking
And it’s a perfect example of what happens
When we covet after something that we know
That we can’t have!!!!
Evil is all around us people
We wonder where it comes form
We wonder what its purpose is or its
Destiny!!!
But no-one ever realizes the actual reality of evil
Every time you pick up the newspaper
Or see your news on the TV or hear it on the radio
On any day you want to listen
It seems that all you hear and see is
Evil Evil Evil – Everywhere you turn
There’s always someone been robbed or shot
Or stabbed or raped and the list of evil’s goes
On and on and on!!!
Evil in our world is so real and it seems to get
Worse each and every day!!!
Just look at Sadam Hussein and Bin Laden
And we find ourselves wondering how they
Become so powerful and wanting to be so
Brutal and they want to have Domination.
The force of Evil is just as real as the force
Of Good
And evil becomes proud and not to
Mention over – confident.
These people baffle us as to why they
will brutalize and kill the people of their
own nation!
And we can’t understand why they would
Use chemical warfare on the citizens of
Their own country, including defenseless
Elderly, and women, and children
We ask why , why, why, !!!
And how can they lie to the whole world
About their stockpile of weapons of mass
Destruction!!!
And still we ask how can just a few people
Accumulate so much power!!!!
And we pray that we can remove them from power
BUT ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN DO IT!!!
But there is a true purpose to all this world
Confusion!!
God is in all this
God is gonna deliver Israel
His purpose is to deliver all of us
Who are His children!!!
God is our Refuge
He is our shelter from the storms of life
We need to pray for our leaders
That they’ll make the right decisions
They need our support
The Apostle Paul said in
1st Timothy Chap 2
And the things that thou hast heard of me
Among many witnesses the same commit
Thou to faithful men, who shall be able
To teach others also
Thou therefore endure hardness as a
Good soldier of JESUS CHRIST
No man that warreth entangleth himself
with the affairs of this life
that he may please him who hath
chosen him to be a soldier!!
People we are soldiers for Jesus Christ
But still the skeptics
Is this what God wants?
If it is then why don’t He do something
About all this evil
He had already done something and He
is gonna do something else still
God did come He sent Jesus to give all of
Us eternal life
And when He comes again Evil’s life will
BE OVER WITH!!!
Listen to me tonight people
Sin will take you further than you wanted to go
And It’s gonna keep you longer that you
Wanted to stay!!!
And its gonna cost you much more than you
Were willing to pay!!!
A Great Evangelist once said
We’re suffering from only one disease
In this world.
Our basic problem is not a race problem
Our basic problem is not a poverty problem
Our basic problem is not a war problem
Our basic problem is a heart problem
We need to get the heart changed, and we
Need to get the heart transformed
The Heart of the problem is
The problem of the heart!!!
Are you trying to assume God’s power
And responsibility?
Are you trying to rebell against God?
Do you Covet that which belongs to
God Alone???
Do you desire His ruling Power?
Or His Royal Palace
If so you better WATCH OUT!!!!!
Don’t try to impress mankind
Give it to Jesus and work for HIM
AND NOT AGAINST HIM!!!!
