Sowing the seeds. Of discontent. False accusations. Of rebellion against God and the authority of God and the word of God. You know, the Bible declares that God.
Has not changed and God said I am God and I change not Jesus Christ. It was the same yesterday, today, and forever. But neither Has the devil changed? He is still Satan the devil. The slanderer.

Mr. Fairs. Motives. Praying. The sire has His purpose is still the same.

Opposition You're right. The purpose and plan and intent to ascend to heaven. Make war upon God. And kiss God. And the car hit.
Off of the flow. Out of heaven. She All of God's creation. And bring all of his creatures. Under their sway.
And under They are. Power. Having convinced one-third of the angelic host. He then devises the plan. regiments his followers.
into the ranks. And a mighty army with the newly formulated plan and strategy of war to lead them in assault upon God. You cast out God. Throw him off of his thrones. Throw him out of his kingdom.
You shot this place Take over. And Wayne. and rule with Satan himself. Being As the most Hi. God.
This was the purpose of Satan in the beginning. He hasn't changed. This It's still Plus. To be like. The most Hi, God.
To ring a As the Most High God. From room. as the Most High God. And he doesn't care what method he has to use to gain it. What the structure?
Show you. What devastation? What suffering? What chaos! That he has to bring about to accomplish it.
He is consumed. He is possessed. With the one purpose I want to see. Out my throne. Above all thrones Above God's throne, I will be God.
And he convinced These angelic rulers and these angelic beings.
Now these angelic rulers are not fools. But they are wiser and superior in wisdom than even now man. and the loftiest and the wisest of man. And before that they could even consider rebelling. An attack God in his kingdom.
They had to think that they had a chance. They had to use their wisdom and understanding the way out. the consequences The probabilities. The possibilities. Dazzled by the wisdom and the beauty.
of Lucifer Seeing his superior wisdom. Yeah. Only under The wisdom of The Godhead of the Almighty God? Smitten with his glorious appearance. Drunken with this life that they could dethrone God because they were.
I'm the ruling angels. They were of the ruling order. of gods. Spiritual beings? Were they not over, and the leaders of principalities?
Weren't they not? The sinners are on the thrones of rulership in the heavenlies. Were they not the authority and the power of the heavenlies? Were they not the rulers? Even though They were only one third in number or half.
The number that didn't fall? They were superior. In wisdom. Super in strength. What they lack in numbers.
They were superior in their wisdom and their power. And they were stronger. And wine, sir. than the others. Of God's Creation and creatures.
And do the appearance It looks so. Because the ordinary angelic beings were under them. They were placed upon the thrones, and they were the rulers. Never the power. the air of the heavenlies.
And was not Lucifer the most beautiful and glorious-looking being? And wasn't even the wisest. of our creatures. And if they were stronger than the ordinary angels, If Lucifer was not stronger than God. And he was as strong as God.
And they joined me. Drunken. Polluted in their reason and understanding just as Lucifer. Was drunken and heavy. The thought.
Why? should be gone. I am Beautiful. I am wise. I am the greatest.
PM Didn't consider That they were just a Creature. I'm not a Creator. But nevertheless Being deceived. One of them. With the slandering and the accusations of Satan, the chief slanderer and accuser.
They joined him in rebellion. They rebelled against God. They rebelled against the wisdom and the plan and the word of God. And they join forces. Was it Lucifer.
Now sink in the devil with the promise! With him as their king, they would have a better place. in the universe, a higher and loftier office. a more place of prestige And a sting. Yea, maybe even to share in the praises and the glories.
of the rest of the creatures. Until The plan formulated. The armies regimented Satan. leads them into attack and assault. Up in the heaven against God.
Consumed! Trunk with the motivating force! Yeah. So I soaked my throat with it. I shall ascend.
above the stars and the heights. I'm gonna take God's place high. I'm gonna sit. in the mount of congregation, I am going to be like God. But you see, God is the all-wise God, and God our Father is the all-knowing God, and He knows.
what was in the hearts of Satan because he said that Satan And Isaiah the 14th chapter said it in his heart, and as soon as he said it in his heart, One. Currently in Someone said to me, Brother Hardy, well, if God knew these things, why did He allow it? Because you see. God makes every creature a free moral agent. with the right of choice.
To either Obey him, accept his word, and serve him. or not. God doesn't want a bunch of robots that he presses buttons. that have no will of their own. That do not serve him.
Out of love, but because the force true, because God pushes a button. Go! I want three more agents. Out of their own heart of love and gratitude, knowing That God is the all-loving and all-wise God, and what He has Put in a law. And what he has put in the rule is only for their good and the good of all of the universe and his creation.
And that God loves them and only wants good for them. And they recognize that. And therefore, out of a heart of gratitude and of love, they willingly serve him. Satan was born. A free moral agent.
The right of choice. And he would have to choose. Whether he was going to Be what God originally created and intended him to be. Why shouldn't he be? Because next to the guardhead He was the most powerful.
and wisest And yea, the most beautiful creature. that God had ever created. Being a free moral agent. And being drunken with his own beauty and proud. of his own place.
The impulses thinking that of his own Higher! He obtained that place And forgetting that he was created. And that he was a limited being. And that God created him, and that God had the power to control him. He chose.
Nothing. to continue to obey God. Stay in. The place in the lofty estate that God placed him, but instead. to disobey and rebel against God.
Then God used him. to try the rest of his creation. for his creation must be tried. His creation must be proven. Every free moral agent must be tested to see.
If they are going to. Humble themselves. Except The estate and the standing and the place that God has placed them. and out of love and gratitude. Love and serve him.
Knowing that he's only doing everything. for their own good and benefit. The allow them. Lucifer to show his scenes. to preach.
His revolution to preach. Rebellion. God could have stopped it at any time. God could have reached out and Wipe him off! The face of the universe.
Just like you brought him into a beating He could have annihilated him.
Somebody say, well, why didn't he do it? Because there could have been another saint and another saint and another saint and another saint. God decided at once And for all. He was going to deal with this question. of rebellion and disobedience.
And he was going to let Satan.
Now become the devil and the adversary and the accuser and slanderer of God. Run his forecast. Clear out! and test and prove all. Of his creatures to see who is really worthy.
of those lofty places of a steam and roller ship. And God found out that not only was Satan. On World Day. But one thousand of his creation. Choose not!
to love and accept his infinite wisdom and plan and place for their life. and exercise their right of free choice. Scream all agents. Join Sancton in rebellion.
Now Satan leads them up. through the first heavens of the earth's atmosphere. Through the second heavens The planetary heavens are the principalities, the powers, the thrones, and dominions, the rulership. Looks like he's home free. As he breaks through...
The atmosphere of the heavens. He is startled and stunned. Because there God knowing what he said in his heart. God seeing and watching him sow the discord. Formulate.
Pulling the Yeah. Watching and beholding those that have joined them. Watching him and knowing his plans. His motives and his desires. God was planning a reception for Mr.
Fallen Lucifer. Satan the devil. And his fallen armies. of spiritual beings. For there he had been preparing Michael the Archangel.
Before the other angelic hopes. That's still Side of God. God, I've been waiting for the assault and the attack. And he delegated. to Michael the archangel who seems to be an inferior.
Delutherburn Satan. Delegated power. And to the two-thirds of the spiritual beings the most part Just the ordinances. into an angelic being. He delegated to them.
Special power. Even as he delegates to you and I His church. His children, his sons. In this day and hour, power. Overall, the power of the devil and the enemy.
For even You and I, in our inferior form and body, in this limited side. of the spirit of action. As he said in Luke 10, 19, Behold, I give you power or authority. Take home. The power and authority of the enemy.
And nothing. By no means which he devises his plots. His mother's just tricks, his wiles, his plans.
So defeat you! I give you the power. I give you the authority. God J. Michael.
and his seemingly inferior army. Power. Oh. Of the power. of the ark.
and chief archon and ruler Lucifer firm. with his mighty princes And when they enjoy the battle in the heavens, Michael with his army prevailed. And Lucifer, Satan, the devil. With his armies. I hold your button.
Not only didn't God get up, nor the word of God, whom we know as Jesus Our Lord and Savior now and the Holy Spirit of God. But God let Michael! Just an archangel. And then the order of God. Sherubim is the highest order.
Even greater. Then it arcane show. God gave delegated power and authority to Michael. and his angels And they resisted and prevailed and triumphed. Instead of Lucifer, cast him God offer me thrown out of heaven.
Michael! That's lootable. How the presence of God. Amen, what a revelatory message on Satan's complete defeat by God's servant Brother Hardy. In this classic teaching, Brother Hardy has his answer by the scriptures: Who was Lucifer?
Who is Satan? Who is the devil? Where did he come from? Is he a God in the sense of deity, being self-existing, self-maintaining, and possessing omnipotence? And just how much power can he exert on earth?
When you realize that Satan is not a God, but a created being, then you understand that he is limited. God did not create him to be the devil. He was created as Lucifer, which means light-bearer, and was the wisest and most beautiful of God's angels. He was the anointed cherub who led the heavenly worship team. But his own self-focus on his superlative beauty became distorted with pride, and iniquity corrupted his wisdom.
When he fell, or rather was kicked out of heaven by Michael the Archangel and his faithful angels, he took one-third of the angels with him in his rebellion.
Now some people think the devil is all-powerful, but he's only a created being whom God created and has complete mastery over. And not only that, but Jesus said to his disciples in Luke 10, 18, 19, I beheld Satan falling. As lightning from heaven, behold, I give you authority over all the power of the enemy.
