Lucifer (Morning Star) was a high rated angel of wisdom and beauty. He was given many tasks or responsibilities, one of which was to direct and oversee worship of God. Instruments were kept under or within his wings. He unfortunately grew very prideful and envious of the praise and worship that God received and he conspired to grow to a position equal to or higher than God. Consequently, he and a third of the angels were cast out of heaven and down to Earth. His name changed from Lucifer to Satan (The Accuser) and his goal is to receive allegiance/worship from new followers and to ultimately steal, kill and destroy.
Why?
Mankind was made in God's image and authority was originally given to Adam to rule on Earth. However, authority was passed over to Satan after Adam and Eve were tricked in the Garden of Eden. From that point forward, Satan's agenda has been to deceive and mislead mankind on the wrong path.
LIE: There is No God AND No Satan
TRUTH: This perspective blinds you and keeps you in the dark and away from the truth.
Have you ever questioned or wondered if there is a creator of the magnificent universe? Why are we conveniently placed as the 3rd planet from the sun? Is it just a coincidence that our planet is in perfect positioning for life to exist? Have you ever noticed or seen examples of perfect symmetry in bugs, tree leaves or snowflakes? Did you know that plants take in carbon dioxide and export oxygen? While we take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide? Is the interdependence of life on Earth just a coincidence?
LIE: It's Ok To Focus 100% On Yourself
TRUTH: It is never ok to focus ALL or the majority of your time/energy to pursue your own selfish desires. If you are spending a good amount of your time, energy and/or money on what you want, ask yourself a honest question.
Are you truly happy? Are you fulfilled? Do you have peace? Does it seem like no matter what you achieve, you have to move on to project after project? Does something seem like it's always missing?
LIE: You Have Time To Think About It (It's Ok To Be On The Fence)
TRUTH: If you think you have time to think about it to choose a side, you have been mislead. If you don't choose a side, then you automatically default to Satan's side. No-one knows the day or the hour of our last breath therefore, don't leave anything to chance. Repent and accept Christ as your Lord and Savior - start reading the Bible and truth will be revealed to you.
LIE: It's Ok, I Am Saved, I Go To Church Every Week. That's Enough (Right?)
TRUTH: God wants to have a personal relationship with you which does not consist of a mere 1 or 2 hours a week. Relationships grow with time but only when consistent effort is placed in time getting to know each other through conversation, reading and meditating on God's word.
Signs You Are Lukewarm
"I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" Revelation 3:15-16
LIE: Hell Doesn't Exist OR Hell is Cool
TRUTH: Hell is a very real place.
It is NOT an environment of 24/7 sin where you can do whatever you wish or desire. You have no free will or liberty.
It is characterized by darkness, agony and pain. There are different levels or layers in which demons torture humans based on the sin they most struggled with on Earth.
"In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side" - Luke 16:23
