Summary: How satan can’t win this battle.

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!!!!
