Ezekiel 2812b-14a NIV You were the model of
perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God every
precious stone adorned you ruby, topaz and
emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire,
turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings
were made of gold on the day you were created
they were prepared. You were anointed as a
guardian cherub, for so I ordained you.
6
Ezekiel 2814b-17a NIV You were on the holy
mount of God you walked among the fiery stones.
You were blameless in your ways from the day you
were created till wickedness was found in you.
Through your widespread trade you were filled
with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in
disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled
you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery
stones. Your heart became proud on account of
your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.

Satan roams the Earth and still has access to God
in Heaven Job 16-7 Luke 2231-32. The time
will come when God throws Satan out of Heaven and
even off of the Earth, but that time has not yet
come Revelation 127-9 201-3.
8
Isaiah 1413-14 NIV 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. I will ascend above the tops
of the clouds I will make myself like the Most
High.

Satan, disguised as a snake, used deception about
Gods Word, Gods motives, and the results of
sin, to tempt Adam and Eve. This resulted in
Satan usurping mankinds authority on
Earth. Genesis 31-6
10
2 Corinthians 44 NIV The god of this age
Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so
that they cannot see the light of the gospel of
the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2 Corinthians 44 NIV The god of this age
Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so
that they cannot see the light of the gospel of
the glory of Christ, who is the image of
God. Ephesians 21-2 NIV As for you, you
were dead in your transgressions and sins, in
which you used to live when you followed the ways
of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of
the air, the spirit who is now at work in those
who are disobedient.
12
One of the devils tricks is to keep us so busy
worrying about things we can do nothing about
that we fail to do anything about the things we
can change. p.81
13
Distraction can come from life problems which
lead to anxiety, stress, and suffering
Job. Distraction can come from wrong
priorities, from an over emphasis on otherwise
good things Luke 1040-42.

Believers struggle with lust 1 Peter 211. Lie
1 I deserve something, so it is ok if I
Lie 2 I have a right to be happy, so it
is ok if I Lie 3 The end justifies the
means, so it is ok if I Lie 4 I cant
control my natural urges, so it is ok if I

1 Chronicles 211 NIV Satan rose up against
Israel and incited David to take a census of
Israel. John 132 NIV The evening meal was
being served, and the devil had already prompted
Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus.

The Pattern Satan deceives us about God and his
Word, then tempts us think selfishly,
self-righteously, to live for and exalt
ourselves, instead of God. A Big Deception We
fail to see that Satan will promote something we
think of as good, if it will lead us to exalt
ourselves instead of God.
19
Satans ambition was not to become a fiend, but
rather to become like the Most High. He will,
therefore, strive for all that is moral and good
yet at the same time do all in his power to draw
men from their natural reverence of God
20
The Satanic message for this age will be
reformation and self-development, while the
message of God is regeneration by the power of
the Spirit. p.66
21
2 Corinthians 1113-15 NIV For such men are
false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading
as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan
himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is
not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade
as servants of righteousness.
22
1 Timothy 41 NASB But the Spirit explicitly
says that in later times some will fall away from
the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits
and doctrines of demons
23
It is evident that the method of this deception
is to imitate the real ministers of Christ. Evil
will not appear on the outside of these systems
but they will be announced as another gospel or
as a larger understanding of the previously
accepted truth,
24
and will be all the more attractive and
delusive since they are heralded by those who
claim to be ministers of Christ, who reflect the
beauty of an angel of light, and whose lives
are undoubtedly free from great temptation.
25
Their gospel is one of human reason, and appeals
to human resources. There can be no appreciation
of divine revelation in them, for they have not
come really to know God or His Son, Jesus
Christ.
26
They are ministers of righteousness which should
never be confused with the preaching of grace.
One is directed only at the reformation of the
natural man, while the other aims at
regeneration through the power of God. 76

1 Peter 58-9 NIV Be self-controlled and
alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because
you know that your brothers throughout the world
are undergoing the same kind of
sufferings. James 47 NIV Submit
yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you.

God offers through Christs death. Romans
