The Old Serpent Wanna-be

"To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." 2 Cor. 210-11. Satan came to my attention this week and I wish to say something about him....mind if I gossip? Tell me if I'm wrong but He's nothing but a lier, a cheat, a thief of my happiness, a master party-pooper, and the BIGGEST God wanna-be there ever is or was!!!
Is. 14:14 "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! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." Like? In his greatest moment of pride and treachery, all he wanted to be was to be "like" God. 2 Corinthians 11:14 says he can transform into an angel of light. (1 John 1:5 "God is light") 1 Peter 5:8 says that he is "as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (Rev. 5:5 God is referred to as the "Lion of the tribe of Juda") Jesus is the "Bright and Morning Star" (Rev. 22:16).....Satan is called the "son of the morning" (Is. 14:12). He is nothing but a prideful name stealer and a copycat! So, when you imagine Satan being an "equal" enemy of God you give him exactly what he wants! Only Jesus is equal with God! (John 5:18) He may have the power to hinder us, tempt us, cause us to question (1 Chronicles 21:1), etc. He is nothing compared to our Lord.

James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
John 10:29-30 "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one."
1 John 4:4 "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
