Before Satan was Satan, he was a glorious being: Isaiah 14:12: (KJV) “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!”Being a “son of the morning” (or as [...]
Evil spirits are spirit beings that, through disobedience to God, were cast out of God’s favor and light and into darkness. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as “fallen angels.” The first of these beings to disobey God was Lucifer. The scriptures [...]
Jesus was begotten of the spirit at his baptism. However, the context of Psalm 2 is in keeping with the Apostle Paul's application that the statement, "this day have I begotten thee" describes Jesus' resurrection. Psalm 2 opens with the heathen raging and the kings of the earth [...]
The answer lies in the context of Matthew 24. Jesus begins speaking to his disciples about the coming age. He warned about many coming in his name and deceiving many (verse 5). Then would follow wars, but these would not mean the end of [...]
Knowing the promise of his loss and power and his destruction stated in Genesis 3:15, Satan has targeted those who pose the greatest threat to his power. God foreknew Satan would especially attack Jesus and sincere Christians. God spoke to the serpent (representing the power of [...]
To clarify, in no way does Satan have "the same power" as God. At best, it is a cheap counterfeit and only has the degree of power temporarily allowed by God. The best defense against being deceived by Satan's use of spirit power is [...]
The Bible does not give us the answer, but the question assumes Satan knew or believed it would lead to mankind’s salvation. Had he known that fact he would likely have acted differently. While his ultimate destruction is clearly shown in Revelation 20, the [...]
When God cursed Satan in Genesis 3:14, “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 [...]
Hebrews 2:14 (NIV), “Since the children have flesh and blood, he (Jesus) too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil-’’ How much does Satan have to [...]
The binding of Satan is a process. Consider Revelation 20:1-2, “And I saw an angel (Jesus) come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, [...]
We really do not have a specific scripture about demonic healings. Yet we do know that “...Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according [...]
When God sent Lucifer down to earth, Lucifer was not yet sinful. The name “Lucifer” carries the sense of “morning star” or “light bearer”. He became Satan when he lied to Eve. “Satan” means “adversary,” and he became the chief adversary of God.Ezekiel 28:12-15 [...]
Any Christian, or anybody, who turns to Traditional African Religions (Voodoo) is putting himself in great danger. These religions are demon worship. Demons are fallen angels who are evil. They may try to possess you, inflict emotional turmoil and grief, or even cause you to physically [...]
Lucifer (or Satan) spoke through the serpent. Why would Lucifer lie? Isaiah 14:12-14 (NKJV), “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground,…you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, [...]
We can identify the work of Satan by analyzing actions/events and the character traits that fuel those actions. As God’s arch adversary, Satan is diametrically opposed to righteousness and all things holy. So, we analyze a work to see if it opposes righteousness.The Apostle [...]
When created without sin, Satan was named Lucifer. We will use Lucifer in this answer. Ezekiel 28:13-16 (CSB) - “You (Lucifer) were in Eden, the garden of God….You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you. You were on the holy mountain [...]
No, but it may be an act of Satan or his demons. Is Satan real? Does he exist? Yes. Satan first disrupted man’s life when he lied by telling Adam and Eve they would not die if they were disobedient. (Genesis 3:4) Ever since, [...]
God can only choose the wisest and best plan for eternity. The principles of right and wrong (good and evil) will always exist. God created the angels and man with the freedom to choose between right and wrong. Angels were made to live in [...]
It can be either or both. When Adam sinned and was cast out of Eden, the Lord told him: “Cursed is the ground because of you,” Genesis 3:11. God had specially prepared the garden for man and man could have had everlasting life. The area outside the garden, [...]
Yes and no. Satan does have power over death. It’s part of his dark empire. (Hebrews 2:14) God permitted the devil to be present in the Garden of Eden. Satan was the deceiver, who tempted Eve and indirectly Adam to sin. Their sin brought [...]
