- 2:14Speaker 2: The fall of Lucifer. I almost want to say the
- 2:18Speaker 2: jump of Lucifer. I just really do. I want to
- 2:21Speaker 2: say the jump of Lucifer because falls like almost like
- 2:24Speaker 2: you tripped over something and whoopsie fell, But it looks
- 2:27Speaker 2: like Lucifer who had one job. I'll come back to that.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Jumped into sin somehow, some mysterious way, Lucifer jumped into sin. Yeah,
- 2:39Speaker 2: he had one job. What was his one job? It's
- 2:42Speaker 2: in his name, Lucifer, like he's the son of the Morning.
- 2:45Speaker 2: He was to reflect the brightness of God. But he
- 2:48Speaker 2: decided at some point, in some kind of way, I
- 2:51Speaker 2: don't know or understand it, and neither do you. He
- 2:54Speaker 2: started to believe his own press. He started to believe
- 3:00Speaker 2: eva his own press. When he would walk by the
- 3:04Speaker 2: celestial mirrors and see all of those beautiful rainbow of colors,
- 3:09Speaker 2: ah representing the character of God. He was covered in
- 3:13Speaker 2: all of those fine and precious stones where they're covering
- 3:16Speaker 2: that's what the Bible says. And when he would see
- 3:19Speaker 2: his reflection, this is what I'm seeing in my mind.
- 3:22Speaker 2: He would see his reflection and be like, yeah, I'm
- 3:24Speaker 2: that guy. He would begin to believe the press. He
- 3:27Speaker 2: believed the high numbers in social media. He has fifteen
- 3:30Speaker 2: million followers, one hundred million followers, three hundred million views,
- 3:34Speaker 2: a billion views, people sending stars and everything in his
- 3:39Speaker 2: social media feed. He started to believe the veneer over
- 3:44Speaker 2: his face to where he could change himself. Of course,
- 3:47Speaker 2: I'm colloquializing this thing. I'm bringing it to our time.
- 3:50Speaker 2: He's putting the filters over his image, and he's starting
- 3:55Speaker 2: to believe the hype about himself instead of reflecting God
- 3:59Speaker 2: now how he is, he's shining his own light. He's
- 4:04Speaker 2: shining his own light instead of reflecting the light and
- 4:06Speaker 2: character of God now. And that's why Jesus was like,
- 4:10Speaker 2: how art thou fallen? How did this happen? How did
- 4:14Speaker 2: this happen? And so we're going to learn a few
- 4:16Speaker 2: lessons here before we let you go. First from Ezekiel,
- 4:20Speaker 2: chapter twenty eight and verse seventeen, I said, we are
- 4:22Speaker 2: going to learn some lessons here, and the Bible reads,
- 4:25Speaker 2: thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty. This
- 4:29Speaker 2: is what the prophet is talking about regarding Lucifer. Thou
- 4:35Speaker 2: hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness. And
- 4:41Speaker 2: now God says, I will cast thee to the ground.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I will lay thee before kings that they may be
- 4:49Speaker 2: hold thee. The lesson here is that Lucifer's pride in
- 4:54Speaker 2: his own beauty and ability led to his dish instruction.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I said, his pride, I think King Aziah had the
- 5:02Speaker 2: same problem. He was good for like almost fifty years
- 5:06Speaker 2: as the ruler Azariah Aziah, Yeah, Asiah, that's his other name.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Yeah Yeah, And then he started to believe the hype
- 5:14Speaker 2: about himself until he was strong in his own eyes,
- 5:17Speaker 2: and then that was the end of it. And so
- 5:20Speaker 2: for me, I need to ask God in prayer today
- 5:23Speaker 2: to expose to me, not saying on the internet, I'm
- 5:26Speaker 2: not saying to you, but to me, exposed to me
- 5:29Speaker 2: any pride lurking in my heart and replace it with humility.
- 5:34Speaker 2: That's what I need today, and so do you. Yeah,
- 5:37Speaker 2: Because the Bible says that the heart is deceitful above
- 5:41Speaker 2: all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it? So
- 5:44Speaker 2: we ask God in our private time to expose the
- 5:47Speaker 2: areas of pride to us and then give us the
- 5:50Speaker 2: way the means to live as humble human beings. In
- 5:54Speaker 2: Isaiah chapter fourteen, beginning at verse thirteen, the Bible reads,
- 5:58Speaker 2: for thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
- 6:02Speaker 2: into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars
- 6:06Speaker 2: of God. I will be like the most high. And
- 6:11Speaker 2: so the lesson here is that Lucifer shifted focus from
- 6:16Speaker 2: glorifying God to glorifying himself. That became a spiritually fatal error.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Now the action for me is to write out one
- 6:26Speaker 2: way that I can use my gifts and talents this
- 6:31Speaker 2: week solely to honor God and not just myself. Not myself,
- 6:40Speaker 2: because that eye problem is what killed Lucifer and made
- 6:45Speaker 2: him Satan. The dragon. Yeah, the accuser of the brethren,
- 6:48Speaker 2: the enemy of God, the serpent. Mm hm. Right, out
- 6:52Speaker 2: one way you can use your gifts and talents this
- 6:56Speaker 2: week to honor God exclusively. And now we go to
- 7:01Speaker 2: verse sixteen of Ezekiel chapter twenty eight. By the multitude
- 7:07Speaker 2: of thy merchandise, they have filled the midst of thee
- 7:11Speaker 2: with violence, and thou hast sinned. Therefore I will cast
- 7:15Speaker 2: thee as a profane out of the mountain of God.
- 7:20Speaker 2: And so the lesson is God's justice ensures that rebellion
- 7:25Speaker 2: is removed from his presence. I said, rebellion is removed
- 7:31Speaker 2: from the presence of God. Now. And the way we
- 7:34Speaker 2: do things on planet Earth these days, sometimes people reward rebellion.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Sometimes even at the highest seats of government, people are
- 7:43Speaker 2: rewarded for doing things opposite to the way that God
- 7:46Speaker 2: would have us do them sometimes, and we have seen
- 7:50Speaker 2: throughout ancient history when God had to deal with that.
- 7:53Speaker 2: In Nebuchadnezzar's day he dealt with it. In Doriasi's day,
- 7:56Speaker 2: he dealt with it, in Herod's day, Pilot's day, multiple
- 8:00Speaker 2: Pharaoh's days, he dealt with those problems. And so today
- 8:04Speaker 2: I need to examine my own relationships this week and
- 8:08Speaker 2: seek and seek reconciliation where there is conflict, and uphold
- 8:14Speaker 2: the truth in love. Uphold the truth in love. Shout
- 8:21Speaker 2: to Pastor MacFall talks about the truth in love. I
- 8:27Speaker 2: love it. On Sabbath morning. Okay, let's go now to
- 8:30Speaker 2: Revelation chapter fourteen and verse one. The Bible reads, and
- 8:33Speaker 2: low eyed looked, and a lamb stood on Mount Zion,
- 8:38Speaker 2: and with him one hundred and forty four thousand. So
- 8:42Speaker 2: redemption restores what was lost. See Lucifer out of Heaven,
- 8:49Speaker 2: God's people in the Mount of God. Lucifer kicked out
- 8:54Speaker 2: because of rebellion. God's people, including the one hundred and
- 8:58Speaker 2: forty four thousand, are with God in his presence in
- 9:02Speaker 2: his holy mountain. And so today I want you to
- 9:04Speaker 2: thank God in prayer that he's restoring He is restoring
- 9:08Speaker 2: you into his kingdom, and commit to being faithful to
- 9:12Speaker 2: him every single day. Yeah, God with our leadist I
- 9:15Speaker 2: will follow. Let that be your prayer today. Yes, yeah,
- 9:19Speaker 2: you are replacing where the evil angels used to be.
- 9:24Speaker 2: They didn't love God. They determined that they wanted to
- 9:27Speaker 2: do things the devil's way. Right, the devil didn't love God,
- 9:31Speaker 2: he wanted to do it his own way. And so yeah,
- 9:34Speaker 2: there's plenty good room in the kingdom for you. And
- 9:37Speaker 2: unfortunately the devil has made his decision. He's going where
- 9:40Speaker 2: he deserves. But you need to go and be with
- 9:42Speaker 2: God in his presence. Peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
