The Battle of Good and Evil continues to be Waged

Happy New Year.  So happy to hear you are all doing well. I got a nice ecard from a good friend this Christmas, and she sounds like she is doing well, but she was concerned about all the turmoil and threats from the Globalists to severely reduce the population of mankind by some 47% or more..  I asked "Are you folks still meeting and getting into the Word?"  I pray you do this year because it looks like the globalists are going to continue to drag out the Virus BS and keep people locked down.  to combat that where I now live, there is extensive use of the internet, so I will be conducting my Spring classes on Skype.  My students like it and there is actually more participation that way.  It also defeats the intent of lockdowns and isolation.  All of those are used to stop diversity in communication and to make people feel alone and separated from their fellow man.  Sharing is a big part of living, loving and feeling, if you can isolate people from family, friends community and group worship you can more easily control them.  The Communists in China and Russia have always practiced this on their captives.  Groups, families sports events, and eating together fosters community. Separating you from these things gives them more control since then your only source of information is from their MSM propaganda outlets.  
Satan hates human interaction because it is the means of sustaining life and companionship.  We fight that at every turn by keeping in touch with each other.  It is better to actually be with people physically because you can hug them or shake their hands, look into their eyes and see the expressions on their faces.  We are going through a terrible time which I never imagined would happen in my lifetime.  There is still hope that people will rise up and rid themselves of the globalists who intend to do the bidding of Satan and destroy man. 

We never got into that lesson, but the Bible does tell us a big part of why Satan fell from Grace and rose up followers to go against God.  Simply put he was angry and jealous of God's creation: MAN.  The angels were made by God and given super powers.  Then God made MAN and placed him above the angels.  Satan disagreed with God on that point. He could not accept that a weak vessel like man could be more favored by God than one of his angels. He rebelled against the very idea of man, and so he set out to destroy mankind. Throughout the Scripture we see Satan confronting God about the inherent weakness of man.  The story of Adam and Eve where he showed that man was weak and could easily be tempted by himself to disobey God. Remember how he directly confronted God about how he could show Him how he cold make Job curse God.  Much of the sin we face today is our weakness for sexual sin, self indulgence in unfettered lust and greed.  In that respect. Satan uses phonography as one means to demean people in horrible ways all to show that man is so much less than the Angels; thus showing God He should not have set mankind on a level above the angels.  Of course tempting God is as wicked and insane as his idea to disgrace man before God and thus convince God to change and lower mankind's status.  God responds with Grace and Forgiveness for MAN and comes here, among us, as Jesus in the form of MAN to teach Satan a lesson and to show man can be better even if he has no super powers.  Man derives his power directly by tapping into God's power which is superior to Angelic powers. However He shows Satan man has something Satan lost by sinning against God. He lost eternity, and man  can always achieve everlasting life through Faith and by believing in God and His Almighty power to forgive.
