“Terrorist of the Soul”
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms.....that made the world as a wilderness and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of the prisoners? (Isaiah14:12, 16-17)
Before time existed and became there was one who extolled the praises of God- Who was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty - his beauty a covering of precious stones-sardius, topaz, and the diamond, beryl, the onyx and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald and the carbuncle and the gold.
The workmanship of his tambourine and pipes were prepared in him when he was created-He was the son of the morning, the anointed cherub that protected. He was perfect in his ways from the day that God created him,
Till iniquity was found in him.
In a moment as a lightning flash his habitation and glory stripped and deposed. His heart lifted up because of his beauty and his wisdom corrupted because of his brightness
Saying within himself: I will be like the Most Holy One
Cast to the ground- to earth
His first habitation forfeited by the cryptic and destructive
forces of pride and envy
Envious and covetous of his Creator God
Seeking to establish a throne above the heavens, above the Exalted One,
God the Father
Stripped of his beauty and glory, cloaked in rebellion and deceit
he enters the realm of time-Earth
Seeking to wreak havoc knowing that his time is short waiting, lurking, prowling for a gateway, an opening-a doorway of influence
Darkness shrouded the earth and therein he lurked-waiting, seething-waiting to establish his throne of rebellion,
And God said Let there be light and it was so.
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness
God created male and female
“And God spoke and commanded:
“Eat not the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”
Occasion, Opportunity-Deception-the seed of man- woman-enticed
Deception through a serpent:
”Eat and you will be like God-knowing good and evil”
Submission-satan’s dominion begins
deathv- destruction - evil continually
The terrorist of our soul thriving in sin and disobedience
Man’s soul blackened and penetrated by the forces of evil
Untold sorrow, corruption and heartache-bondage-death
The suicide of man’s soul forfeiture of his destiny-his dominion
Satan’s dominion extends 42 generations-and then God!
Captain of our souls-strike his deafening blow!
A virgin, a womb-a birth- Emmanuel- God with us, our Deliverer, our Savior
An attack-the cross, Crucify him, Crucify him-
Death pronounce your sentence, grave ready your grip
Our Savior cries “It is finished!” Death blusters-for his sting is sin-
The Sinless One has conquered death
O death where is thy sting, O grave where is thy victory.
It is finished, the reign of terrorism in our soul is conquered; it is vanquished by the blood of Jesus Christ.
Have you accepted Him- or is the terrorist of man’s soul, man’s destiny ever controlling, ever destroying, ever wreaking havoc and destruction in your life.
You have the weapon-now use it
the Blood of Jesus Christ
The greatest counter terrorist weapon of all eternity.
