Title: Satan and the Holy Spirit
Contents
Satan is the spirit that works in the sons of disobedience, and the Holy Spirit is the spirit that works in the sons of obedience. Satan is the spirit of the world, and the Holy Spirit is the spirit that came from God. As it is written, “We received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, that we might know the things that God has given us by grace” (1 Corinthians 2:12).
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:16). He is the one who has grasped everything, even the power of death.
Therefore, Christ Jesus, who came into the world as the Spirit of the Son of obedience in the flesh, to save the children of God who belong to flesh and blood, to remove those who held the power of death, the devil, and to release all those who were enslaved by life because they fear death. In everything he became like his brothers, he himself destroyed the power of death in a human body.
The Bible says, “Christ gave himself for our sins to deliver us from this evil age, according to the will of God and our Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever, Amen” (Galatians 1:4-5). is proving that.
Because the first man did not obey, sin entered the world, and death reigned through sin. Then, as the second man obeyed, the righteousness of faith was fulfilled and new life reigned again. Therefore, the first man is the son of Satan, born of Satan, and he is Satan.
The Bible says about this, "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and cannot stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own. For he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44), and the Lord said to Simon (Peter), the first man to think of men, “Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan, and you You are a stumbling block to me; you do not think about the things of God, but rather the things of men…” (Matthew 16:23). Therefore, the first person is Satan.
Therefore, as it is said, “The lust of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the lust of the Spirit is against the flesh, because these two oppose each other, so that you cannot do what you want” (Galatians 5:17) It is the Holy Spirit who resists.
All of God's children, who will inherit the kingdom of God with Christ, belong to flesh and blood (the power of Satan) and are afraid of death, so they are miserable strangers and passersby who are bound by their lives as slaves. He opened the way to the kingdom of God to the children of God who wander like lost sheep in the flesh of Christ Jesus.
To enter the Most Holy, where the Father is, you cannot enter without the veil torn. The veil is the flesh of the first man of disobedience. Unless this person is denied and crucified, he cannot enter God's eternal rest. Therefore, it is written, “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). because no one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Therefore, unless the desires of the flesh (Satan) are removed from me, the way to the sanctuary will not appear. Because the body is the curtain between God and me. It was testified, “Then the curtain of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom” (Mark 15:38), and again, “It is a new and living way that he opened for us through the veil, and the curtain is his flesh” (Hebrews 10: 20) You did.
Except for “the curtain was torn in two from top to bottom,” there is no way to enter the sanctuary. You must be torn from Christ to me to enter the veil. From head to toe....Therefore, in the resurrected empty tomb, where the head was, there are towels, and where the feet are, linen cloths. It is the same as it is written, “The towel which was wrapped around the head was not laid with the linen cloth, but was spread in another place” (John 20:7).
That is why the Bible testifies that “we, who were dead in trespasses, made us alive in Christ Jesus (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavens in Christ Jesus…” (Ephesians 2:5- 6) You said.
The devil who has taken over the power of death is flesh and blood. Because they are flesh and blood, they are afraid of death, so they are bound to their lives as slaves. Therefore, you can see God only when you crucify the flesh along with its passions and desires, die with the Lord, and tear the veil that blocked God from top to bottom. Amen, thank you Lord.
