God's Word warns that believers are not to give place to the devil... no honor, no praise and no fear.

       Ephesians 4:27 "Neither give place to the devil."

Acts 8:17-24 "Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity."

The devil doesn't want the truth about himself known.

       He hates exposure of his deeds and conceals himself as an angel of light.

              2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 

Satan's final and eternal confinement is predicted in Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Matthew shows satan's audacity in tempting Jesus.

       Matthew 4:3,6,8,  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread....
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down:....
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain.....

Job revealed satan as an oppressor of good people.

      Satan replied to the lord, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

“All right, you may test him,” the lord said to Satan. “Do whatever you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him physically.”  So Satan left the lord’s presence.

The Word of God, the Bible, is the only authority for information about satan,the devil. In Genesis 3 is when satan enters the realm of  human life.

       Genesis 3:1-7 "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

The devil has caused the ills and sorrows of humanity from the Garden of Eden to this present time.

        He works through his fallen angels, men or natural forces to bring his evil designs to pass.

The devil seeks to destroy God's works and man's life. He is a gangster and a revolutionary, and he upsets the heavens.

        He gathered angels to follow him, they are fallen angels.

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."  John 10:10 

Man is a neutral power with the potential to be good or bad.

       "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?"  Romans 6:16

God is the creative and benevolent personality of the universe, God's power.

       In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 
       Genesis 1:1

        God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in      times past unto the fathers by the prophets.
        Hebrews 1:1

Our universe is no accident. It didn't evolve through unreliable and unintended forces of unknown origin. All globular and stellar information of speed, sound, color and weight is created by God.

Christians are becoming more and more aware of the influence of demons. There was a time when they were criticized for taking a stand against demons but are now believing they need to know how to discern them and how to deal with them.

         Christians need to know how to keep people free from their forces.

Another has said, The devil is actively engaged in combating America's growing religious revival. The proof of the devil's work is the increasing interest in the occult including astrology, tarot-card readings, ouija boards, palmistry, fortune-telling and particularly, witchcraft. It is perfectly obvious to all of us in spiritual work that people can be possessed by demons, harassed by them and controlled by them. 

        More and more ministers will have to learn to use the power of God to release people from these terrible possessions  by the devil.

Someone said, "Whole societies have fallen under the domination of the devil. Sex and narcotics provide openings for satan's infiltration of mankind.

        One of the great needs of our time is a defense against the evil which we call the devil. We are all under an obscure domination.

                 It is satan, the prince of this world, the #1 enemy!"

The devil has no respect of races, nations and people.

        Our world is rapidly changing. Society is being attacked by evil forces and satanism is springing up in every city and town. Many religious leaders are concerned about occultism and demon power.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Ephesians 1:7

We know that at the end of the millennium [1000 year reign of Jesus] we will be in the beginning of these things concerning the  'Ages' and eternity is still young.

With Jesus' surrender of the perfect Kingdom to His Father, what we speak of as 'time' will end and eternity will begin.

       Paul in Ephesians called it the 'ages to come.'

              John says the devil, the beast and the false prophet will be tormented day and night 'forever and ever' in Revelation 20:10 and the servants of God will reign for the same period.

Jesus Christ will not abdicate His power for any reason other than He has finished the work that was given to Him by the Father to do as the Son of Man.

         He will not give up His human nature but only His title of Son of Man and will go back to being the Son of God so that the Godhead will again act in unity and will be all in all.

The Great Abdication, the Millennial Age, and the Perfect Age between which the earth is restored by fire makes up the Age of Ages which is the time called the Kingdom of the Son of Man.

       At the close of the Age of Ages is when Christ shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet; then the Son of Man shall surrender the Kingdom of God to the Father that He may be all in all. This is known as the Great Abdication.

The New Throne
Revelation 22:3-4

The new Jerusalem has no Temple. There is no need for a Temple when the object of worship is present, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple.

      The whole city will be the Temple "Then the Tabernacle of God shall be with men and He will dwell with them and they shall be His  People and God Himself shall be with them and be their God." Revelation 21.

The Tree of Live
Revelation 22:2, 7

The streets on each side of the river are lined with trees and also on the banks of the river.

     They are not just shade trees, but fruit trees called the Tree of Life. They bear twelve kinds of fruit, a different kind each month.

          The fruit of the trees is for the overcomers. The leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations that will live on the new earth. They will be to keep them healthy.

Somewhere in the center of the City, will sit The Throne of God and from under the seat shall flow down the crystal stream that shall feed the wonderful River of Live.

The New River
Revelation 22:1

The waters of earthly rivers aren't crystal clear. Many are muddy and filled with contamination.

      This river is called the River of Life, because of its life giving ability.

             Earthly waters come from mountain springs, but the River of Life comes from the Throne of God.

My blogs have had technical difficulties since Nov 20th. The company I am with put up a create a new blog page and it kept me from getting to my blog dashboard. So I had figured I am out of the blogging business.

There has been a lot of communication between myself and google, blogger.com and webcolleagues in order to get this back online.  I do thank every body for their patience and all those who helped to solve the problem. I am sure I wasn't the only one who was having this problem because there are 100's of thousand of people blogging on these cites.  Thanks again everyone!
