KNOW YOUR ENEMY 2

THE FALL OF LUCIFER


God did not create a Satan,  God created a Lucifer,  a perfect and brilliant creature embedded with beauty. It was his ungodly desire that made him what he became. The same way God didnt created a wicked world, God created a perfect world because He saw what he created and it was good, but the desire and choices men made and are still making made this world a wicked world.

'You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz, and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx, and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise, and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and your sockets, Was in you. They were prepared On the day that you were created.  You were the anointed cherub who covers and protects, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire [sparkling jewels].  You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness and evil were found in you.' Ezekiel 28:13‭-‬15 AMP

Lucifer (meaning the morning star) was created in beauty and perfection, every precious  stones was his dwelling,  he was a shining light with great brilliance, he was an anointed arch angel, one that have so much influence  in heaven,  so much that was able to convince one-third of the angels of heaven to turn against God.  He was the head of the worshipping angels, gifted not only with beauty but with making music, he was so influential that his place was on the holy mountain of God.

He was a perfect creature, diligent and upright in his dwelling.  He was blameless and so exalted and reverenced. It was because he was so close to God and to the throne that he could looked upon it and desired to be God,  it's was because he saw the influence of his gifts and operations on the heavenly  beings that he thought in his heart that he could be God.

'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:  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.' Isaiah 14:13‭-‬14 KJV

Lucifer saw how much he could make the heavenlies marvel at his beauty and singing,  he would worship God and the whole heaven will be moved in awe of such wonderous gift. He saw how much most of the angels of heaven were subjected to him,  he was so influential and his dealings were magnanimous. Due to so much influence  he had, he became puffed up and exalted himself above the Almighty God in his heart.

He was so convinced due to his position and how much he has done that he could be God and rule over all things, he successfully won over one-third of all the angels in heaven (the same angels who have seen, heard and known God).  He rebelled and attempted to overthrown God but he lost and was cast out of heaven into the earth to wander until due time of destruction in hell with all his angels.

'Through the abundance of your commerce You were internally filled with lawlessness and violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you out as a profane and unholy thing From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.' Ezekiel 28:16 AMP

Pride comes before fall. Many are currently making the same mistake Lucifer made. Due to their gifts and exploits,  they have become puffed up,  due to their success, position and influence, they have exalted themselves in their heart and have assumed a position of God (consciously or unconsciously)  over others. Whoever exalt himself,  God will will humble and cast down and all men will see the weakness and emptiness of such. Pride will always lead to failure. It is a trick to rub you of your success and progress in life.  Don't be a fool.
