Satan wants to be like Jesus so bad he can't stand it! He has figured out how to be omnipresent in these last days! Cell Phones, Big Brother, AI...don't be deceived in not realizing this! Brothers and Sisters we are at war with spiritual darkness! Satan has been waiting for humans to cross the door of technology! Satan has finally found his Omnipresence! Let's pray tonight for a spirtual EMP by the Lord of Host, Jesus Christ! That will be our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ thank you!!!!

Praise the name of Jesus!!

Jesus gave us the authority so it's up to us to fight.
We start with our personal warfare.

Satan is not omni-present. He just has a big following. That is why Paul explained with battle with the powers, principalities, and dark forces of this world. So we do not specifically battle with Satan, but those spirits who have placed themselves under Satan. I guess it might certainly seem like we are battling with Satan, but He is just a heavenly being and not God. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to be God, most all want that in some sense, even if it is just to be our own god. Still, He is no more omni-present that you or I. That gives him a rather large problem, that his pride got him into. That is that Satan fights against God and he is not omni-present where as God is. It just shows how our pride can really make us miss the obvious, and he serves as a lesson to anyone who cares to honestly think about this.

Satan is finite. He is lord of this world.
Infinite would mean he is like unto God. Everywhere at all times. That is not Satan.

Satan and his power is limited to what God allows.

Yes - This is a very important thing to understand. God is the creator, and as such all power and authority comes from Him. It is also something easily forgotten if we have gotten into pride. Satan got into pride and took a great fall. He started thinking that he could be like God and started promoting that idea in others. Remember that snake told Eve that:

Gen 3:5 For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be open, and you will be like God...

Of course that was a lie, because when that snake of old speaks he always speaks a lie, but it was a lie that he himself was buying into. We need to stop buying into that lie. We can let God into our lives, thus making us a new creature having God in us, but that does not mean we are Him or even like Him. It means He is helping us - helping us learn, helping us understand, and basically helping us grow. The very fact that He can and does help us mean we are not like Him --- but perhaps we are slowly becoming more like Him.

He isn't! But, he's got such an elaborate networking?

He/they can go pretty much anywhere they want.

Isaiah 29
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

Sound familiar?


The Book of Enoch, by R.H. Charles, [1917], at sacred-texts.com

CHAPTER VI.

1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters.
2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'
3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.'
4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.'
5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.
6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.
7. And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl.
8. These are their chiefs of tens.

CHAPTER VII.
1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.
2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells:
3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them,
4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind.
5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood.
6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

CHAPTER VIII.
1. And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.
2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, 〈Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun〉, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .

Yet, after Eve and then Adam did eat of the forbidden fruit they did become like "us", like God.

As God said himself. Genesis 3:22 Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

Did Satan lie when God affirmed what Satan told the woman would happen should she eat?

The response is interesting. Of course one verse does not cancel another, but both must be correct, and understanding comes from the mouth of the Lord. (Prov 2:6)

Jn 8:44“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

That snake of old, when he speaks, it comes from his own nature, and he was a murderer and liar, and indeed the father of all lies.

So how do we account for both God and that snake of old saying the same thing, knowing one is a murderer and liar and the other can not lie?

When I was young my dad had a conversation with me pointing out the the best lies (meaning the most believable) have an element of truth in them. Of course if it is a lie then malice is intended. Satan used Scriptures, which we know were from the Word of God, even to tempt and get Jesus (who is the Word of God and thus the One who spoke those words to the men asked to write them down) in order to get Jesus to throw himself down from a high spot.

Mat 4:6 and *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,
‘HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU';
and
‘ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP,
SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'”

So it was that Satan used an element of truth in his lie, which was intended to tempt Jesus Christ, even the Word of God, to get Him to attempt to murder Himself and defy the Father. In the same way that snake of old had also done, more successfully with Eve, to get men to defy God with a temptation that made us think that being truly like God is obtainable.

So guess what, knowing good and evil is a something God knows so is an attribute of God, but it is not the only attribute. You can be like God, and are like God in that people now have some understanding (though a rather poor understanding) that there is good and evil. Yet that knowledge did give Adam and Eve eternal life, which is also an attribute of God. Neither did it give them the authority and power of God, because God instantly used His authority and power to remove the access to the tree of life.

Remember that man was made in God's image. Well that made man like God, but not completely. The liar got men to think that they could be like God if they just ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Well - we now are aware that there is both good and evil out there, and while that gave us another attribute of God and like God in that sense, it still did not give us the discernment of good and evil we need. Discernment of spirits is a gift that comes from the Holy Spirit, so we need to seek Him (The Holy Spirit) who speaks to our spirit the words the come from Jesus Christ, the Word of God.

Pride - that is what that snake has always been promoting, because that will lead you death, and that liar has always been a murderer.

Now the question then comes: who tells us that the snake of old is omni-present? Because of all the other spirits that he got to follow him, it sometimes seems like he is. We are still battling with the principalities, powers, and dark forces of this world, who have committed themselve to that snake of old and who have bought into his lies. Satan is a pretty effective liar. He uses elements of truth, even Scriptures at times, to try to get people to follow him.

Silly liar - how could we but into those lies? God is omni-present and thus always there for us to talk to if we care to believe.

Did we not also read:

Mat 4:7 Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”

and also:

Mat 4:10 Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND [fn]SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

Why then is anyone post here promoting the glorification of Satan? Satan is not omni-present. Nor does Satan have the power or authority to keep himself from being thrown into the lake of fire when the time comes.

Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and [brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

If omni-present - who is he going to wind up in one place to be tormented day and night forever?

Knowing that there is both good and evil does not prevent you from being evil!!

Now then, the question becomes, why do we think the serpent of old was fallen Lucifer?

Genesis 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.


Whereas fallen Lucifer, called ha Satan or Satan , is described here in Job.
Job 1:7 "Where have you come from?" said the LORD to Satan ...Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Satan, therefore, is not himself, like the bulk of his evil angels, "reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the last day" (Jude 1:6).

Therefore, we may consider it wasn't a matter of either God or the serpent lying when in Eden.

Both would be telling the truth from their perspective knowledge being Eden could not be thought a paradise if Satan could enter in.
As if Omnipresence of God would be unaware. Even were Satan disguised, God would know him.
While that serpent did tell Eve the truth as God affirmed near word for word.
Neither Eve nor Adam physically died. They spiritually separated from God, died in the spirit. But neither Eve nor Adam would have comprehended any manner of death at that time.As innocents they would have no understanding of death. And, as the serpent said, they did become like God after consuming the fruit of knowledge of good and evil.

Which God confirmed himself in Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

I contend the serpent wasn't Satan.

Because the serpent was cursed to remain so, eating the dust of the ground, lower than cattle, etc... all his days.
God's curse does not abate.
While later in the OT, the book of Job, we read of Satan talking with God, boasting he was walking about the earth.

And of course in the New Testament Satan, not a serpent, tempted Jesus when Jesus was fasting in the desert for 40 days.

I think Jesus saying Satan was a liar from the beginning cannot refer to Eden because Eden was our beginning as the human race.
While the beginning to which Jesus referred would more likely be when Lucifer resided in heaven. And then persuaded 1/3rd of God's angels to join him in a war against God.
The lie from the beginning would then make sense because it would be a lie when Satan persuaded those brother angels to join him because Satan believed he would win the war. Revelation 12.


Why is it bad to have become like God? Knowing good and evil? When centuries later God sends himself to die and save us from the curse that befell the world in the garden, sin that entered in, so that if we believe in him as savior we become like him; Christlike.

Satan wants to be like Jesus so bad he can't stand it! He has figured out how to be omnipresent in these last days! Cell Phones, Big Brother, AI...don't be deceived in not realizing this! Brothers and Sisters we are at war with spiritual darkness! Satan has been waiting for humans to cross the door of technology! Satan has finally found his Omnipresence! Let's pray tonight for a spirtual EMP by the Lord of Host, Jesus Christ! That will be our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ thank you!!!!

Praise the name of Jesus!!

No! He gathers info from his host of demons reporting back to him from all four corners of the earth. Man has been tempted globally long before modern technology.


Satan can never be omnipresent. He only pretends He can for all the reports he gets. He cannot even listen to multiple phione calls etc. He is a created being with finite capabilities. Far beyind ours, but still finite.

I personally believe that Satan has been defeated. Though darkness still exist ~ Satan and His Messengers, and Demons have been defeated by the Lord Jesus Christ. ~ Some people believe that He is still roaming around, an trying to take souls away from God.

Though many people do not ascribe to this theology it is a theology none the less ~ And is seen in and through-out the bible that Satan was going to be defeated. Defeat of Satan - Thompson Chain Reference -

Never believe me and always go check the bible for the truth, and only believe and follow God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It is possible for me to be wrong.

Therefore, we may consider it wasn't a matter of either God or the serpent lying when in Eden.

NOOOOOOOOO!!

God doesn't lie, and that serpent of old (Satan) only lies!!

So even the thought: that both would be telling the truth shows a problem with discernment of spirits!!

Both would be telling the truth from their perspective

Look closer at what that snake was telling EVE:

Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!

That snake said she wound not die, though God had said she would. She did eat and that resulted in her later dying!! That snake lied!!!!!

But that snake old was crafty about how he went about it. He was crafty even though he was in the garden, so any conclusion you might come up with about it not being possible for that lying crafty snake to be there is just a wrong conclusion, simply because he was there and lied in a crafty way to Eve.

Now that snake supported the lie by trying to tell Eve she would be like God, because she would know good and evil. Well, maybe she might be like God in the sense that she started to have an idea that both good (God) and evil (that snake) existed, but that did not make her like God in that she was not going to die, like that crafty snake was telling her.

Now here is the problem we face today. Because they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we too know that there is good and evil, which is to say we know the both God (and only God is good) and Satan (that evil snake of old who promotes evil to this day) exist!! That knowledge doesn't mean we have the ability to discern good from evil very well. That is a gift from the Holy Spirit. And we know the Spirit of God talks to our spirit so that we can find the Word of God we preach in our heart and sometimes in our mouth. Of course, as mentioned, the Holy Spirit is not the only spirit. We battle with the dark forces of this world, so we battle with a huge force of evil spirits who fell because they too bought in the lies of that snake.

So like Paul suggested, we need to take all thoughts captive to Jesus Christ. That would include any thought about whether that snake lies or not, and thoughts like whether that snake is omni-present like God is. If we are not humbling and earnestly seeking our Lord Jesus Christ and taking the thoughts we get to Him, how are we going to get discernment correct. We might know that good and evil exist because that tree was eaten from, but it wasn't a tree of discernment of spirit only a tree that gave us the knowledge of good and evil. Basically, Eve and Adam listened to the words that came from that old snake (Satan) and ate despite the fact that God told them not too, and that is how they found out that both good and evil is about, even if you find yourself in a very nice garden.

Why???

Theology is our understanding of God. And I am sure that your probably do think that Satan and His messenger (demons) are not around. Yet it is written,

FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL,
AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR,
AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES;

Who might that apply to?

It used to apply to me. I was over 40 years old when one morning a voice from seemingly nowhere suddenly told me "READ YOUR BIBLE", and did it ever shake me up. Since then I have come to know the Lord. I hear Him talk to me everyday, a number of times each day, and it has now been that way for over 20 years now. He has such interesting things to say, just like it is written:

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

That is I hear His Holy Spirit talk to me in words that are spirit, so I hear them in words in my spirit. He tells me things everyday, things like:

WE DON’T HAVE UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE WE DON’T READ THE BIBLE WITH UNDERSTANDING, BUT OUR UNDERSTANDING…. UNDERSTAND???

Understanding, is one of His names, but if we don't seek Him and listen to Him we are going to wind up leaning on our understanding instead of His, and that will be reflected in our Theology - with is our understanding of God. Another thing He told me was:

THE BEST LISTENERS MAKE THE BEST TEACHERS.

If a person want to improve their understanding they must seek our Lord Jesus Christ and listen to His Holy Spirit who does not speak on His own initiative but as He hears He speaks (Jn 16)

Prov 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.

Prov 1:23 “Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.

Prov 8:14 Counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding, power is mine.
