The Adversary's Purpose

THE ADVERSARY: ENEMY’S THREE FOLD PLAN

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes)

ENEMY: adversary, foe, to harm, to weaken, threaten, negative, opposition, opposed, hostile, antagonist, tempt, fear, worry.

THERE IS A MESSAGE WE MUST HEAR AND TEACH: WE HAVE AN ENEMY THAT HATES. THIS ENEMY IS OUR ADVERSARY. HE HATES GOD AND ALL HUMANITY.

The Bible warns us to WAKE UP. The bait of Satan lays traps. We are not on a playground. WE ARE IN A WAR. Spiritual blindness is his goal. THERE IS A FATHER OF HALF TRUTHS AND LIES.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

We have 3 foes of the soul: THE WORLD, THE FLESH, AND THE DEVIL.

OUR ENEMY CHALLENGED GOD. HIS MOTIVATION IS HATRED, REBELLION AND BITTERNESS. THESE BECOME THE PATTERN OF OUR ENEMY.

Isaiah 14:12 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! 13 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: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

THE PRIDE AND SELFISHNESS OF THE ENEMY EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN “I WILL”

• I WILL ASCEND TO HEAVEN…

• I WILL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS…

• I WILL SIT OF THE MOUNT…

• I WILL ASCEND…

• I WILL BE LIKE GOD…

• I WILL ASCEND…

• OUR ENEMY IS A SLANDERER AND A FALSE ACCUSER…

• LUCIFER REFUSES REPENTANCE AND BEING SORRY.

GOD CREATED LUCIFER. SATAN ORGINATED AS AN ANGEL NAME LUCIFER. SATAN’S ULTAMITE GOAL WAS TO BE GREATER THAN GOD. IT IS ESTIMATED SATAN TOOK 1/3 OF THEANGELS WITH HIM.

Refer to Ezekiel 28:6-14 (but not use directly)

Satan rebelled against God. He desired more power and PRIDE grew. God had no choice but to cast Lucifer out of heaven. Many other angels sided with Lucifer. PRIDE AND REBELLION WAS THE START OF EVIL AND HATRED.

SUBTIL (subtle) clever, deceitful, sly, crafty, cunning, not obvious, very clever,

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

THE 3 FOLD SATANIC STRATEGY

John 10:10 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.

STEAL: rob, thieve, to take what is not yours, take without permission,

KILL: to cause death, put an end to, deprive life,

DESTROY: damage, attack, ruin, defeat, put an end to,

HERE ARE SOME OF THE ENEMY’S TARGETS:

OFFENDED:

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

DEVALUE CHURCH: APOSTASY

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

BITTERNESS:

Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

REVENGE

Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

FORGIVENESS: the hinge on the Pearly Gates

Colossians 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

FAMILY: POXY WAR --- WE NEED MOTHERS AND FATHERS. The family is the foundation of society and the family.

FAITHFULNESS, NEVER QUITTING

1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

PERSONAL OPINIONS AND FALSE TEACHING:

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
