Satan means accuser, and even when we're before the throne of God, he's accusing. Right when we say God, I give you my all; he stands beside us and says, 'Really? You're going to give your life to something you can't see? Really?'
In Revelation 12, it talks about the war that we as humans are born into. How the dragon (Satan) was thrown down and there was no place for him in heaven. That means there was a place for him before he chose to go against God. Before time as we knew it began, there was God and all His angels and Satan was his right hand man. There's an account in Ezekiel 28:11-16 that describes him; he had an anointing on his creation, he was perfect in model and full of wisdom. Because of God's absolute love, there was even a choice in heaven, and Satan was convinced with all that God had adorned him with, he could have all the power. In Revelation 12, it states that he lost and he was made the deceiver of this world.
How's he doing?
God loves because He is jealous for us. Satan deceives because he's jealous of us; he once had that intimacy with God and no longer does, it's a battle for relationship.
Who's winning in your life?
We watched a video (below) and I literally collapsed to my face. This man decided to give more than thirty minutes to God to wait and see what He said; he decided to just wait until, until anything. He was in his basement alone with his guitar recording song after song, just praising our King. In this video, a choir of angels are singing with him. Our speaker said, 'Just let Him speak to you.'
The Living God said this to me:
My dearly Beloved, I take you from this day forward, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better or worse.
He wanted me to know He was winning the battle for relationship, and that He wanted and wants the most intimate there is.
He is my Lover and I his Beloved.
Watch it, and then worship.
Psalm 100:4-5 says we enter his courts and gates through thanksgiving and praise.
