God Created Lucifer, Now Known as Satan. God Assigned him the Voice of Worship. Today, People Cannot Discern Between God and Satan's Voice.

One of the biggest keys to living the abundant life is to know the voice of your Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Praying for discerning of spirits and the gift of wisdom is first and foremost a good first step. The gift of discernment (1 Cor. 12:10) is a supernatural ability to distinguish between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error, between holiness and evil.

God created Lucifer, now known as Satan, as one of the three top angels in Heaven. Lucifer had responsibility for the angels assigned to worship, while Michael leads the warrior angels who oppose evil and unrighteousness, and Gabriel guides the angels assigned to bring God’s messages to people. As part of his creation, God gave angels a certain amount of free will. They didn’t get as much freedom as the humans God created, but they got some. It’s not news that letting people–and angels–make their own decisions means some dreadful decisions get made. And so it was with Lucifer. His position went to his head. As he led his angels in worshiping God, Lucifer decided some of that worship should be coming his way. As he saw it, he was as good as God and deserved equal honor. In fact, he decided, he should be God. That decision cost Lucifer everything. You have people today who cannot discern God's voice from Satan's voice. They are listening to the wrong voice in their ear and in their head. Satan brought his assignment to earth and today he will whisper in people's ear and get in their head and they end up worshiping Satan. He was assigned the voice of worship, sound. He's making the wrong sound on earth and people are listening.

The most difficult part of hearing God is the fact that it takes time to learn to discern God's voice -- and it takes a humble heart. Jeremiah 29:12-13 says, "Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."

We can't make demands on Almighty God. We can't shake our fist at the sky and say, 'all right God, let me hear you.' But we can ask, seek, and knock, and the Bible promises that God will open the door. God will reveal Himself to those who humbly seek Him.

A person living in the world of sin is not the devils target, active Christians are. Think about it; why would Satan go after people in the world? He already has them just where he wants them. Today he isn’t fighting the church, he’s joining it.  One of his main targets now is destroying the family units, causing marital strife but he is also causing strife in many other areas of life for humans whether they are in or out of the church. Today he is wrecking havoc any and everywhere. Beware and on guard. He does more harm by sowing tares than by pulling up wheat. We must remember that Satan is also a fisher of men and not only does he cast his net in the world but he is casting it in the church as well. Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. His servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15. "Satan's greatest weapon is man's ignorance of God's Word." Satan knows the difference between a professing Christian and a True Believer.

The devil will always point out your faults, your flesh will dwell on it but your soul can overcome it with prayer and positive thoughts!  I’d rather spend a lifetime on my knees in prayer than another moment in darkness without God!  When my day starts with prayer and ends with prayer, everything in between seems to always work out!  Fight all of your battles on your knees, you can’t lose.
The Bible does tell us that for the believer nothing happens outside God's control—and yes, if we know Christ, His angels continually watch over us. The Bible says that God "will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways" (Psalm 91:11). It also teaches that the angels—although they are largely unseen—watch over us and work for our good. The Bible says, "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14).

Rather than only one angel, therefore, God surrounds us with a host of angels to protect us and go before us. Even when hard times come, Satan can never snatch us away from their protection—and some day they will escort us safely to heaven. The reality of God's angels should give us great confidence in the Bible's promises.  Whenever you deal with temptation, you realize Satan is smooth and shrewd. He makes disobeying God and doing the wrong thing seem logical, even attractive–not to mention wise, clever and sophisticated. That last one gets to a lot of people. You have people today who cannot discern God's voice from Satan's voice. 2nd Corinthians 11: 13-15. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

Confused? Have you ever been in a situation where Satan is all in the midst of it? look like your prayers aren't working.  It appears that nothing is working, problems with spouse, family members, children, friends, co-workers or church members. Satan is the source of gossip and confusion. Do not allow Satan to whisper in your ear. Watch your thoughts, Satan sneaks into them.  If Satan is whispering to you. Tell him to run back to his address! He has to obey you! Yes, that's right; he has to obey you.  Remember that when you speak the name of Jesus, Satan and all of his demons tremble, now that should tell you something, that our Father's name is powerful in all of heaven and earth. The devil can lead you to sin but he cannot make you sin, you can choose to take action or walk away.  God does not make you remember your sin, the devil does. Satan wants to see you fail, matter of fact, the devil will set up your failure for you.  Don't entertain Satan's tactics.

God can send storms our way just to tune up our faith!.  Something you need to remember and never forget; the Lord is with you, over you, in you, you are never alone!  Make no space in your life for the devil to move around!  Sometimes the world calls our flesh, let your mind stay focused on God and He will hush the sounds.  We just have to step back from our life and let God be the director, only God can calm the storm.

For many Christians, prayer is a thing we "ought" to do.  There was a time, however, prayer was a thing that we "had" to do.  When you have to do a thing, there are no options.  We got to get back to the way we use to be with God. Sometimes God turn things upside down, so that we may cling to Him.  Those who bless God in their trials will be blessed by God through their trials.  Don't allow Satan to have the final say in your life or situation.  You have the right and authority to do that, you can easily reverse that and you can make sure that you have the final say in Satan's life when it comes to you.  Send the devil running back to his address. Let him know that any relationship with him is toxic and lethal, there is nothing good that comes from Satan.

Great is the power of Satan, and strong is the hold he has upon us by reason of the evil that is in us. We cannot escape his cruel and dangerous assaults. But we have a precious ally and intercessor in Jesus Christ. His heart and tender sympathy go with us in our trials. God will never leave us wanting, He will fulfill every need. There is NOTHING Satan can do for us.
