Renewing my Mind
Last week, we covered the Holy Spirit-our advocate and counselor and promise that we truly belong to Jesus Christ! This week, we will be covering our true and only enemies, Satan and his fallen angels. Here are the previous editions of "A Deeper Cut" in case you want to go back and review them!

Week 3: A Deeper Cut: The Holy Spirit
Naturally, we must cover Satan and his fallen angels because many people do not have a strong enough understanding of just how insidious Satan and his fallen angels truly are. Personally, the best way I can describe Satan and his fallen angels is that they are the original and true haters, mobsters, thugs, murderers, rapists, liars, witches, deceivers, bitter betty's and originators of all sin within mankind.
I truly cannot begin to describe how much I despise Satan and his fallen angels. As Christ followers, it is our duty to look towards the Kingdom of Heaven and listen to God's voice to guide and protect us. There are so many people who are deceived (believers and non believers alike!) and unaware of just how much influence Satan has in this world. After all, Satan is the god of this world. Every institution, organization, and country you can think of is infested with Satan's influence and most people would be floored if they knew just how much our world's events were truly influenced by Satan and his fallen angels. With that said, let's get right into the Bible Study and please keep Ephesians 6:12 in mind:
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
The Backstory:
Revelation 12:7-9 "Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray."
Isaiah 14:12-15 "How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
You said in your heart, "I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will make myself like the Most High."
But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit."
Ezekiel 28:16-19 "Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you out in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, 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. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.
By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more."
Luke 10:18 "..."I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."
The Deceiver:
Genesis 3:1-5 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden'?"
"The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'"
You will not certainly die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
2nd Corinthians 11:14-15 "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."
John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy"
Job 1:7 "The Lord said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the Lord, "From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it."
Revelation 12:12 "...But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."
1st Peter 5:8 "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
Luke 4:13 "When the devil had finished all his tempting, he left him until an opportune time."
1st Corinthians 14:33 "For God is not a God of confusion but of peace."
John 8:44 "...He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
The Cronies of Satan:
Genesis 6:4 "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."
Job 1:6 "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them."
Numbers 13:33 "We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim) We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
Numbers 13:28 "...We even saw descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan."
Daniel 10:13 "But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia."
Luke 8:27-30 "When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!
For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken the chains and had been driven by the demons into solitary places.
Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"
"Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him. And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss."
Jude 1:6 "And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling-these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day."
2nd Peter 2:4 "For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment"
James 2:19 "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder."
The Deceived:
2nd Corinthians 4:4 "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."
Luke 22:1-6 "Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. They were delighted and agreed to give him money. He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present."
1st John 3:8;10 "The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother or sister."
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only few find it."
Hosea 4:6 "...My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge."
2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12 "The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."
Closing Verses:
Romans 16:20 "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you."
Ephesians 2:1-5 "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. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved."
Revelation 20:10 "And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Please add and contribute any other verses, videos, questions, comments, etc. below! It's crucial for us believers to understand our enemy. What's to come in the future will truly shock the masses because of their lack of knowledge about Satan's influence over this world! Please do not hold back on exposing his lies, puppets, and tactics to deceive the masses!
