How you are fallen from heaven,
O Day Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
You said in your heart,
‘I will ascend to heaven;
above the stars of God
I will set my throne on high;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the far reaches of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’ Isaiah 14:12-14
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 stones of fire.
Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I exposed you before kings,
to feast their eyes on you.
By the multitude of your iniquities,
in the unrighteousness of your trade
you profaned your sanctuaries;
so I brought fire out from your midst;
it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
in the sight of all who saw you. Ezekiel 28:14-18
His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Revelation 12:4, 9
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
What’s the enemy’s common goal? To hurt the heart of God. How are they trying to accomplish that goal? By killing the innocent (especially infants still in the womb, or barely born), spilling blood (wonton violence), and by corrupting the hearts of God’s created in His image to get them to accept rebellion against God. What are their strategies to corrupt the heart of Mankind? Deception. Delusion. Twisting the Word(s) of God. Temptation. The want us to accept their ‘ways’ rather than God’s ways. How do they set out to accomplish these strategies? By starting VERY early when we are young trying to get us to agree with them and seek their approval by accepting our own fleshly nature and desires. In our pursuit for answers they want us to seek any other alternative rather than asking God Himself. Who is our best resource of the Truth? The Word (John 1:1), and the Holy Spirit. Our enemy wants to get our agreement in small ways over and over, till they have a legal license for complete control (possession and inhabitation of our body). Can you see now why asking for the baptism of the Holy Spirit is important? So that we might be completely and fully immersed by the VERY Spirit of God within our complete being and body? So that He might make our body His temple and inhabit us? The enemy cannot create, they only can copy and corrupt the creation of God.
Ask the Holy Spirit if you have made any agreements with the enemy. Ask the Holy Spirit what ways you have within you that are NOT God’s ways. Ask the Father and Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Spirit. Humble yourself before God. Surrender to God. Repent. Confess.
Thus have you said: ‘Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we rot away because of them. How then can we live?’ Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, Ezekiel 33:10-11
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you when you are beginning to be tempted by the enemy. Ask the Holy Spirit to make you more aware of their strategies against you.
