You Stand
You Pray
You Praise
Cry if you must, but remember that:
Our God is still victorious. He restores broken hearts. He saves the lost. He heals the sick. He is faithful towards us. His mercies endure forever. He is Love, and He is our TRUE comforter.
Though the enemy may be waging a war against you, your children, your family, do not grow faint in heart because as we know…
God wins the battle EVERY time!!! Key thing that is overlooked! God Created Lucifer!
When facing intense spiritual attacks, you should submit to God, actively resist the devil, and rely on the Word of God for strength. Key actions include prayer, speaking scripture aloud, maintaining faith, and standing firm in your identity in Christ. This keeps you from being outwitted by his strategies.
Key Strategies for Spiritual Warfare:
- Submit to God and Resist: The core instruction is to “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
- Speak the Word of God: Use the Bible as your “sword of the Spirit” by speaking scriptures aloud, similar to how Jesus countered temptation.
- Put on the Armor of God: Utilize the full armor described in Ephesians 6, including the shield of faith to extinguish “fiery darts”.
- Renew Your Mind: Refuse to entertain thoughts of fear, doubt, or accusation that do not align with God’s truth.
- Pray Without Ceasing: Use prayer as a lifeline to call for God’s help and protection against enemy strategies.
- Stand Your Ground: Remain anchored in God’s promises even when situations seem dire in the natural.
Practical Actions:
- Change the channel in your head by refusing to dwell on toxic, fearful thoughts.
- Keep God’s Word in your mouth—what you speak dictates whether you fall into fear or rise in victory.
- Take it as an opportunity for joy, trusting in God’s power to see you through the trial.
God Created Lucifer as a perfect, blameless angel (anointed cherub) in Heaven before he sinned. Lucifer was created good, but became Satan by choosing to rebel through pride. He was not created evil; he misused his free will, transitioning from a “light-bearer” to the adversary.
Key Biblical Points regarding Lucifer’s Creation:
- Created Perfect: Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes him as “the seal of perfection, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty” at his creation.
- High Position: He was a “covering cherub” [Ezekiel 28:14], indicating a high-ranking angelic role in God’s Presence.
- The Fall: Isaiah 14:12-14 indicates that pride, wanting to be like the Most High, caused his fall.
- Name & Nature: “Lucifer” (KJV) means “light-bearer” or “morning star” [Isaiah 14:12], highlighting his original bright, exalted status before becoming the adversary (Satan).
- Responsible for His Own Sin: God did not create sin within him; Lucifer (as a free-will being) created evil within himself.
The name “Lucifer” only appears once in the KJV, in Isaiah 14:12, referring to his fall, while the context of his creation is largely found in Ezekiel 28:11-19.
Revelation 21:3-7
“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”
