What Everyone Should Know About The Devil's Deception, Cunning Character, & Defeated DoomDid you know that Satan was once called Lucifer, a beautiful member of God's angelic praise team? Lucifer means the morning star or "light-bearer", the shining one, alluding to the previous glory he did have as top dog angel in God's kingdom. One day Lucifer woke up on the wrong side of his own pipe organ and thought he could takeover and be the "Most High". Needless to say he let it all go to his head. That is why man's number #1 sin problem is rooted in some form of pride. It was Lucifer's big hang up and it becomes ours as well. If you think about it all sin is just a prideful way of saying to God, "Hey I don't trust you enough to obey You and believe You have the best in store for me. I will do what I want to." Poof Jewels became horns when Lucifer's pride went "postal" like the horrific stories of U.S. postal workers who snap and murder coworkers. Lucifer lost his super cool job glorifying God and now fits into another sovereign plan about evil and the need for redemption given through Jesus Christ the Lord.
