Bible Study Satan: The Serpent of Paradise

[Relic]

.



Just to let you know... I'm not promoting anything. I just thought some of you would be interested in these audio files Dr. Erwin Lutzer is presenting on the oneplace.com site. It is a whole series about Satan, what he can and cannot do and what he didn't know himself.
I think it is a very interesting study on the devil. When you know the whiles of the devil, you have all the power through Christ in you, and you then know how powerless the devil really is. I think people give too much credit to the power of the devil and they have too much fear of him. There is no fear when you have Chirst Jesus at the helm of your life!

I hope you all appreciate these audio files as much as I did.
Note: They are only available for a shor time online. Usually, Audio files are available for one month from the date.

The Serpent of Paradise

Lucifer, whose name means "Shining One," was the highest and most beautiful of God's angelic creation. However, because of his limited knowledge and power, his choice to become independent had consequences he could not foresee.

Created an angel of light, Satan became God's archenemy.

The Falling Star Bites The Dust #3 of 3
For the sins of humanity, the blood of Christ offers full atonement. But for the sin of Satan there can be no atonement. Unlike us, Satan is doomed with no hope of salvation. In his hatred for us, Satan seeks to derail the race of life for every believer. Using his deception, and his demons, he tries to thwart the work of God. And though his doom is a certainty, his mission is to take as many human souls to hell with him as he can.

2nd Segment : The Serpent In Our Garden



The Serpent In Our Garden



7/13/2004 - Tuesday
The Serpent In Our Garden #1 of 4
It is said that a drop of Satan’s rebellion has fallen into every human heart, and that the first drop fell in the Garden of Eden. Each of us has a sinful nature, a tendency to rebel against God. By eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve fell victim to sin, with catastrophic results. Why did the first couple in paradise feel the need to disobey God? Dr. Lutzer discusses this question and more during this message.

7/14/2004 - Wednesday
The Serpent In Our Garden #2 of 4
John Milton wrote an epic poem called “Paradise Lost.†He detailed the fall of mankind and its awful consequences. You and I have inherited a piece of that fall, and our sins prove it. Far from paradise, we now live on a fallen planet awaiting its coming redeemer. Mankind’s fall began with lies from Satan. In this message we find out more about how Adam and Eve succumbed to those lies.

7/15/2004 - Thursday
The Serpent In Our Garden #3 of 4
One fundamental difference between God and Satan is that God always speaks truth, and Satan always speaks lies. His lie to Adam and Eve is his lie to you and me. Millions are deceived into thinking they can do what they like and still somehow end up in heaven. Our job as believers is to recognize the lies that can send people to the same hell that is reserved for Satan.

The Serpent In Our Garden #4 of 4
Some see the Garden of Eden as a myth, but the Bible portrays some very real history in the cataclysmic fall of Adam and Eve. Satan’s deception of mankind began at the very beginning, and continues today. We, like that first couple, are led to believe that we can ignore God’s wishes and get away with it. In this message Dr. Lutzer examines the story of the forbidden fruit, and unintended consequences.

3rd Segment: The Serpent Strikes Back


The Serpent Strikes Back


7/19/2004 - Monday
The Serpent Strikes Back #1 of 3
The seduction of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden began an avalanche of sin and misery that would taint all of human history. Satan had seemingly won. But the story is a long way from over. In this message, we join Dr. Lutzer as he assesses the far-reaching consequences of the fall of mankind. Join Dr. Lutzer as he also shows us that from the very beginning, God had planned to repair the damage caused by The Fall.

The Serpent Strikes Back #2 of 3
After the fall in the Garden of Eden, sin spread rapidly. In Genesis chapter 6, we see Satan hard at work, and we read about the Nephilim. Who exactly are these creatures? Dr. Lutzer provides that answer in this message.

The Serpent Strikes Back #3 of 3
After Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, Satan focused his efforts on preventing the birth and death of Christ, the Savior of mankind. In his despicable attempt to stop the will of God, the earth became a battlefield, with Satan as the predator and all of humanity as his prey. Even at this point in history, the tragic consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin were only beginning to unravel.

4th Segment: The Serpent Is Crushed



The Serpent Is Crushed


7/22/2004 - Thursday
The Serpent Is Crushed #1 of 3
The cross of Christ is the centerpiece of the human story. It is where Christ atoned for sin and defeated Satan, our enemy. Running life’s race means reckoning with the cross on a personal basis – truly understanding that we need to trust Jesus for forgiveness and salvation, that He has offered it freely, and that He is the only hope we have of being free from the evil oppression of sin and death.

The Serpent Is Crushed #2 of 3
Often times, children have an acute sense of fairness. But it was clear to everyone, that it wasn’t fair for the sinless Christ to be nailed to the cross. Because another Man allowed Himself to be brutally killed in our stead, we can run life’s race. Jesus’ death on the cross has paid the penalty we deserve for rebelling against God. His death also alerted Satan of his inevitable doom. Find our more in this message.

The Serpent Is Crushed #3 of 3
Among the innumerable ways The Cross is significant, it has divided time and divided the destinies of men and women. It has divided the destiny of believers and that of Satan. The Cross delineated the inescapable doom of Satan and his fallen angels in the eternal Lake of Fire, and made it possible for believers run life’s race for Jesus, and spend eternity in heaven.

It is so important for each and every one of us to have a PERSONAL relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! And it is so very important for each and every one of us to NOT take anything for granted!
Especially from those in position of authority! Always question everything! I learned that when I was a child! My mother cowered over people in authority! I stand up against them, when the need be!

I know it's unreal but i've sat in a congregation where some of those methods on hitlers list were used. It took me a year after i came out to get my head screwed on straight.
It's not that hard to brainwash a person if there is no climate of truth to counter the lies.

Some who watch movies think ghosts are “ectoplasmic energy†that can be dispersed with just the right “Ghost Buster†technology. Here is a reality check: ghosts are very real, but electronics will not kill them. In this message Dr. Lutzer gives us the real deal on haunted houses, ghosts, familiar spirits and other forms of demonic influence. He also explains why Christians must shun them all like the plague, and yet not fear these things, because Jesus is more powerful than anything in existence.

The devil can do a lot of damage to the Christian community when a believer lets him gain a foothold. Evidence that Satan has a foothold in a believer’s life comes in many forms, including slandering others. Christians running life’s race need to protect themselves from getting caught in this trap, and if they find themselves in it, they need to seek forgiveness and get back on God’s path. Otherwise, much damage can be done to the cause of Christ.

6th Segment not yet presented......


coming soon

If this part of the series doesn't convict a person of their sins nothing will!!!!!!


The emphaisis is on How God uses Satan by handing him over.

Saul was focused on Satan and became oppressed by him. God handed Saul over to his sin. Saul brought on sinunto himslef and the consequences was an "evil" spirit would not leave him. He left the door open for satan to wreak all havoc in his life. He was tormented by the spirit he gave himself over to, and therefore, God gave the evil spirit to Saul out of Sauls own sin.

Job was given over to the testing of his faith. even though He was an innocent man. He was still subject to the whiles of the devil.

Jesus was even tempted of the devil.

We are not immune! But God will see us through if we are faithful and unwavering.

We are to keep diligent watch and close the door of opportunity to the devil.

Whew! this segment of four audios is an eye opener and a door closer for sure!

It's a matter of what road do you want to take?

The road full of deception and trickery of the devil that can lead to unrepentance, confusion and misery etc., Or, the straight and narrow path that God provides for us through obedience and faith?
