The most beautiful season of the year is soon approaching, the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus. But before we get into the joy of Christ(mas) it would be good to recall first why Jesus was born.
Jesus break the chain of spiritual death. So much the sin is loved that in consequence of that the devil does not need to change his tactics on us. As he had whispered to Eve: you will be like God or did God really say " You shall not eat from the tree of life? "
My dear friend do not listen to the voice of Satan, that whispers " ye are gods " or did God really said " you'll go to hell if Jesus is not your Lord and Savior? "
STOP self-worship & self-glory! Let the devil to deceive himself into thinking he can overthrow God's throne.
Pride led to Lucifer's fall. Rather than give God the glory for creating him so beautifully, Lucifer took pride in himself, thinking that he himself was responsible for his exalted status. Satan's rebellion resulted in God casting Lucifer from His presence and will, eventually, result in God condemning Lucifer to the lake of fire for all eternity.
~ S. Michael Houdmann ~
Before his fall, Lucifer was indeed a beautiful creature!
'You were the signet of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God;
every precious stone was your covering,
sardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx and jasper,
sapphire, emerald and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings.
On the day that you were created
they were prepared.
You were an anointed guardian cherub.
I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God;
In the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
You were blameless in your ways,
from the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
In the abundance of your trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stone of fire.
Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
~ Ezekiel 28:13-17 ~
The Fall of Lucifer
" How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you were cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
For you have said in your heart:
' I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High. '
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.
~ Isaiah 14:12-15 ~
Don't follow Lucifer/Satan in Hell, a place of utter darkness, loneliness, terror, endless agonizing pain. NO HOPE, NO KIND WORDS, NO LOVE, NO LIGHT
Would you not rather be in the kingdom of God, the One who created you for His glory? All He wants from you is to LOVE HIM. Confess that you are a sinner!.. incapable of earning your way into God's good Grace.
Tell God that you believe that Jesus is His Son; died for you and by his blood we are saved; and rose from the dead to give you eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Repent, turn away from your sinful lifestyle, and ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your personal Lord and Savior.
He has given you a free will so that you can make your own choices. You must choose whom you will serve: Yourself or God.
If you are at enmity with Him here in the physical realm; do not care to know Him nor give Him glory; how can you imagine that in the spiritual realm you'll live to love Him and bring Him glory??
