SATAN – THREE
TRICK PONY
First
Word
·
Make no mistake as we go along here with
the thought process that Satan is an equal and opposite force of God; He IS
NOT. - God is Sovereign and the Free
Will of Satan and the Free Will of Man both have limits and operate
within God’s perfect plan. – So you can say both angels and man have LIMITED
FREE WILL.- NYOBS 54.25 SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD REVISITED
- Man was created in the Physical
realm and given “little power and authority” but could do whatever he wanted. Free as a bird – Freedom to choose. –
His life is choice driven.
- Satan was created in the Spiritual
realm and was given massive power and authority, but with limits.
So Satan is nothing, but a dog on a leash. – NYOBS 34.17 - ANGELS
·
Satan was created perfect
and was given FREE WILL, which allowed him to have the potential for the greatest
good or the potential for the greatest evil.
·
Somewhere along eternity past
Satan SAW all of creation and focused his WILL on himself and DESIRE
was born; he desired to raise himself up to be equal with God.
·
Desire gives birth to PRIDE of one’s life
and with pride comes the fall which brings on shame. This moves on to corrupted wisdom which
brings on lies. Satan became the
Father of Lies.
Isa 14:13-14 – The five “I
Wills” of Satan
13 You said in your heart,
"I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the
stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the
utmost heights of the sacred mountain.
14 I will ascend
above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most
High." NIV
Ezek 28:15-16 – Satan’s “WILL”
was toward self
15 You were perfect in
thy ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in
thee.
16 By the multitude of thy
merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast
sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God
Ezek 28:2 – Satan gave
birth to desire
2 Thus says the Lord GOD;
Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in
the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God,
though thou set thy heart as the heart of God: KJV
Ezek 28:17-18 – Pride was
born
17 Your heart was
lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom
by reason of thy brightness:
18 Thou hast defiled
thy sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity
of thy traffic.
KJV
Prov 16:18 – Pride comes and then the fall
18 Pride goes before
destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. NIV
Prov 11:2 – Brought Shame
2 When pride comes, then
comes shame;
NKJV
Ezek 28:17 – Corrupted
wisdom
17 Your heart became proud
on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your
splendor
NIV
John 8:44 – Satan became
the father of lies.
44 Ye are of your father
the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the
father of it. KJV
WAR OF THE ANGELS – RABBIT
TRAIL
·
WAR - When I first learned of Satan
being thrown out of heaven, I thought it had already been done. I thought all this happened before Adam was
placed in the Garden of Eden taking Satan’s place of authority. NYOBS 09.34 – GARDEN OF EDEN
·
Now I find in scripture that even TODAY, Satan STILL
has access to Heaven.
·
Day and night Satan continuously brings
accusations of the Believer before the Throne of God. – After 6,000 years of
listening to accusations, you would think God would be a little bored with it
all. - THE BIG QUESTION; When does
Satan and his Angels get booted out of Heaven…?
·
Satan and his Angles will NOT be thrown out of
heaven until the middle of the “Tribulation Period”, or three and a half years
after it starts. - WHAT !
·
I hope you got that…. God allowed Satan and
all the Angles that “rebelled” to continue to have access to heaven for some
6,000 years; giving them PLENTY of time to repent. All of creation has watched and are a witness
to the mercy and patience of God - But then one day it will finally happen;
WHAM. - This will not be “Pretty Please” will you leave … It will be an all-out
WAR BETWEEN THE ANGELS. -
NYOBS 07.02 - ESCHATOLOGY
·
The accuser will no longer be allowed
in Heaven to come before God and accuse us of our sins. - So now this Devil-Angel will pursue the Saints on earth; primarily the
believing remnant of the Jewish nation.
·
There
will be Joy in Heaven when he is thrown out, but there will be Woe on the Earth.
·
The Devil is HOT from being thrown out of
Heaven. - This is where the term “Raising Hell” comes from. - He
has been told of his fate and is now STOMPING around the earth thinking he can
change things. - He marches right into
the Temple and sets up an image to be worshiped and then it gets worse; three
and a half years later he sets in
motion the first stages of THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON. - NYOBS 22.03 ARMAGEDDON
Job 1:6 – Satan reports to the Heavenly Court
6 One day the members of the heavenly court came to present themselves before the LORD, and the Accuser, Satan, came with them. (NLT)

Revelation 12:7-12 - WAR in Heaven – Satan thrown
out
7 And WAR broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
12 So REJOICE, O Heavens, and all who live there, but WOE to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time." (NKJV)

Matt 24:15-22 – Satan sets
up the Image to be worshiped
15 "So when you see standing in the holy
place `the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the
prophet Daniel-let the reader understand-
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to
the mountains.
17 Let no one on the roof of his house go down to
take anything out of the house. Let no
one in the field go back to get his cloak.
19 How dreadful it will be in those days
for pregnant women and nursing mothers!
20 Pray
that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
21 For then there will be great distress,
unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled
again.
22 If those days had not been cut short, no one
would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
NIV
WILL OF MAN
– RABBIT TRAIL
- When God created the
world, there was only “One Will”
in the whole universe.
- When Satan rebelled
there became “Two Wills”; his
and God’s.
- Satan sought to
detach man from God; to attach man to himself, thus receiving “Satan’s
will”.
- Satan was successful
in detaching man from God, but man had his “own will” and would not attach himself to Satan.
- Now there are “Billions of Wills” in the world;
that’s why God sent His Son to re-attach us.
- The war began against
God and His greatest creation; “MAN”, who was created in God’s own image. -
There is an Invisible War going on - and the war is over us. – Choose Life.

Satan Three Trick Pony
·
From the beginning of eternity past,
Satan has been a three trick pony show.
He pulls the SAME THREE TRICKS and mankind still falls for it, but we
don’t have to. - God does not want us to
be ignorant of the wiles of Satan.
1. The First Trick is the
desires of our flesh (self) – the craving of food, drink, pleasure, sex and all
that is materialistic, egocentric, exploitative and selfish.
2. The Second Trick is the
desires of our eyes –The tendency to be captivated by
everything that entices the eye, basic thoughts of greed and desire; seeing and
wanting.
3. The Third Trick is the
Pride in our lifestyle – This is ostentatious
pride that makes us feel superior to others; the pretentiousness of life; our
Public Image.
·
Let’s look at Jesus - The tempter comes when we
are at our lowest point, when we are weak and tired. - Before trying to trick
Jesus, Satan waited until He had not eaten for 40 days. - Satan
played on hunger to tempt Jesus (the
desire of the flesh), showing Him stones that could be food (the desire of the eyes); and
implied that IF He was really the
Son of God He could produce a miracle; (the
pride of one’s lifestyle). - Satan
implied that IF Jesus was
actually the Son of God, He would have the supernatural ability to provide His
own food.
- Right here you can
see
that Satan’s plan was to cause Jesus, (the second Adam), to test God, to
see if God would really take care of Him. - If Satan could just instill
second thoughts of doubt or unbelief, he would have caused
Jesus to sin; but Satan failed.
- Doubt in God is of
Satan and is sin. This action
would have separated Jesus from the perfect access and fellowship of God. -
Christ did not have to prove anything to Satan and only quoted scripture
to him. - Temptation is not a sin; the sin is giving in to the temptation.
This principal applies to sex or to any other realm concerning the desires
of the flesh.
- Satan tried to temp
Jesus
by offering Him all the kingdoms of the world and they were all his to
give. Satan knew that Jesus had left from ruling His own dominion (the desire of the flesh)
and showed Him his kingdoms of dominion (the desire of the eyes) and said He could have it (the pride of one’s lifestyle)
if he would just worship him. But Satan failed again as Christ just quoted
scripture.
- Satan tempted Jesus
again; this time taking Him
to the very top of the Temple, probably at a feast or festival time when a
multitude of people were gathering.
Satan told Jesus to cast Himself down demonstrating His superiority
(desire of the flesh) and
many people would witness the angels (desire
of the eyes) bearing Him up in front of the multitude (the pride of one’s lifestyle).
– Jesus just quoted scripture to him again. - Jesus never performed a miracle in order
to just demonstrate his superiority.
- Satan pulled this
same trick on Eve in the Garden of Eden. - Satan told Eve the fruit was
good for food; (desire of the
flesh) she saw that it was a delight to the eyes, (desire of the eyes) and
that the tree was to be desired to make one wise (pride of one’s lifestyle), she took of its fruit and
ate. - 07.037 - SATAN WHERE
IS HE?
- Satan’s goal is to keep man from
communicating and fellowshipping with God.
– He may seem to leave you, but is actually waiting for another
opportunity to snag you through temptation and he has plenty of demonic
help.
Romans 11:25 - For I would
not have you ignorant
25 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits; (ASV)

1 John 2:16 – Lust of the flesh & eyes - Pride
in one’s lifestyle
16 For everything that
belongs to the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
and the pride in one’s lifestyle—is not from the Father, but is from the
world. (HCSB)
1 John 2:16 – Desires of flesh and eyes – Pride of
life
16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. (ESV)

Luke 4:1-12 – Jesus tempted with desires Flesh,
Eyes and Pride
1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”
5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.
7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.”
8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”
9 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
10 for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’
11 and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

opportunity
13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time. (ESV)

him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of

thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.(ESV)
Genesis 3:6 – Eve saw the fruit – desired it –
took it and ate
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. (ESV)

James 1:13-15 – CAUTION -
Temptations gives birth to death
13 When tempted, no one
should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor
does he tempt anyone;
14 but each one is
tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
15 Then, after desire has
conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives
birth to death. NIV
The New Old Trick
- Satan
has joined the church.
- The
plan now
is to introduce doctrine into the church that tickles the ears of the
saints, to corrupt, compromise and otherwise water down
the doctrines of Christ.
- He
Makes the Church a VICTIM of change not an INSTRUMENT of change; he cause
them to follow not lead.
- Satan
deceitfully gets preachers to preach the Bible by what they believe
instead of preaching what they believe by the Bible. SELAH
- Ponder that for a minute.
·
Satan introduces other
religions
that increase “the man” and diminish God: “Be all that you can be”, “Prosperity
on earth” – “You have all you need on the inside” (no repentance needed)
·
Have you noticed that “Teaching”
Churches have smaller attendance and the “Feel Good” Churches become
Mega-Churches? Why is that? - People
have itching ears for a church that preaches what they want to hear. – Sin is
not black; it’s 50 shades of grey.
Acts 17:20-21 – Listening
to the latest strange ideas
20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our
ears, and we want to know what they mean."
21 All the Athenians and foreigners who lived
there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the
latest ideas.
NIV
2 Tim 4:3-4 – Seeking what
their itching ears want to hear
3 For the time will come when men will not put up
with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather
around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want
to hear.
4 They will turn their ears away from the truth
and turn aside to myths. NIV
Last Thoughts
·
We are no longer ignorant of Satan and his THREE TRICK PONY SHOW, and must stay
alert and resist temptation and continue to enlarge our faith and have mercy
toward others.

Jesus Christ and His Disciples that has painted a picture for us of “THE WAY” of Hope and eternity
with God.

life hereafter. He is the rungs on the Ladder; He is The Way, The Truth

destruction as your future. – There is just NO other Name and there is just NO other Way.
Jesus Christ is THE WAY

salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you,
searched intently and with the greatest care,…Even angels long to look into
these things.
