Sermon 1476 - Fallen Lucifer - 10th Message…..(Sun pm 10/6/96)

TEARING DOWN THE DEVIL'S KINGDOM

Matthew 11:28-30. This lesson continues on the Devil side of Lucifer’s fallen nature and covers “Tearing down the Devil’s Kingdom.” When we lose our humility, we lose our reflecting power. We are like a mirror. We can reflect only what is in the mirror. The front part of the mirror represents Meekness. In the back of this mirror is an invisible Cross of Humility, which we have to get from God through Christ.

When we keep an attitude of Humility before God, reflecting that He is the Head and that He is Righteous and Just and Holy and that He makes all things work together for good, the front part of our mirror is able to show meekness toward man. God lifts us up on His High Mountain and lets us stand there so that we can experience either His Approval or Disapproval.

The Devil also has a high mountain, but when he takes us up on it, we stand there looking for the approval from the creature instead of the Creator. Going up to the high mountain to tear the Devil’s kingdom down means that we must tear down everything in us that desires approval from the creature. It means that we are going to tear down all his lying answers that tell us that we are all right, when we are not all right. We go on for God by accepting God’s Verdict of Approval or Disapproval and by humbling ourself in true repentance before Him.
