A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

Satan the Devil

We, as saints of God, have an enemy, a god, that is determined to send every man, woman, and child, into the flames of hell. Once a person gets into the flames of hell they will burn in eternity. Hell is a place of eternal punishment, a place of no hope. A place were every request is denied. Luke 16:23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of From the time of Adam until Christ Jesus hang on Calvary's cross we as Gentiles where without hope of eternal life. Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. With one sacrifice Christ has reconciled us unto God. Here is the reconciliation of God, and man. John 20:19Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD. 21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. In the beginning God the Father created the Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God the first born of every creature. Amplified Bible [ Now]He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible] He is the firstborn of all creation. In the beginning of creation God the Father spoke, and He took his word, and shaped His word in such a way that the word of God became the Son of God. John:1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Amplified Translation; John 1:1 IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. Then God by Jesus Christ created all things. The things that are highly asteened among men are an abomination to God. The word "Esteemed" defined, 3 : to set a high value on : regard highly and prize accordingly. Here are things that are highly esteemed that are the sin of emulations. Football, baseball, soccer, basketball, wrestling, boxing, dice, poker, Bidding are all competition. Emulations defined, is "Rivalry" striving to equal or exceed someone at the same thing; competition. Luke 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. If God imputes the sin of emulation to someone they shall not inherit the kingdom of God. What is the kingdom of God. Romans:14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Amplified bible Romans:14:17[After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. lightning fall from heaven. The Amplified Bible Luke:10:18 And He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven.When Satan was cast out of heaven he brought with him angels. Saints of God, we, as children of God are in a war that will last as long as we live. We do not fight against flesh and blood, we fight against Spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Saints of God, God has a hedge about us, remember what happened to Job when God removed the hedge. Satan and his children, took all of Job's personal possessions, killed Job's children, and put boils on Job's body from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. Here is the physical hedge that God has about us, the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, Police, Sheriffs, F.B.I, C.I.A. and others. There is the Spiritual hedge, 2 Kings 6:16And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. Saints of God pray that God will keep His hedge about this nation, the United States of America. Though there be war all about us, we may live in peace. Our enemies are Satan the Devil, the Antichrist, devils, and Satan's children and among his children are the false ( apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.) Are they successful in destroying people? In the world to come God will set up a giant wine press. And God shall harvest the people that have not obeyed His commandments, and cast them into the wine press. The wine press shall be trod, and blood shall run in a great valley for two hundred miles up to a horse's bridle. Revelation 14:17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.18And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.. Satan's children False (apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors, and teachers,) preach propaganda designed to send all that hear them into the pit. For example They preach, and teach, that faith plus nothing equals salvation. If a person believes that lie they put their salvation in perial, because there is more to salvation then faith. To make heaven you eternal home a person must repent. Jesus Christ said these words.Luke 13:5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Except you repent turn doing your own will to doing the will of God, and be sorry for the sins that you have committed you will surely perish. caused Satan to be cast out of heaven was the sin of "Pride. from the midst of the stones of fire.The iniquite, the sin, that "Pride defined "3. feeling of superiority: a haughty attitude shown by somebody who believes, often unjustifiably, that he or she is better than others." .Ephesians:3:9And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:Collossians:1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they were be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Christ created the wicked to be taken and destroyed. 2Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, (governed by one's own will : not yielding to the wishes of others : Obstinate) they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; We, as saints of God, have an enemy, a god, that is determined to send every man, woman, and child, into the flames of hell. Once a person gets into the flames of hell they will burn in eternity. Hell is a place of eternal punishment, a place of no hope. A place were every request is denied. Luke 16:23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of Satan found all mankind in one place (in Adam) and with one temptation, and one transgression took every man, woman, and child ever to be born captive. When the Spirit of God departed from Adam we all died the spiritual death. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. From the time of Adam until Christ Jesus hang on Calvary's cross we as Gentiles where without hope of eternal life. Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.

Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD. 21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Christ Jesus came into the world to sat the captives free. Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, In the beginning God the Father created the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Amplified Bible Luke:10:18 And He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven.When Satan was cast out of heaven he brought with him angels. Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out of heaven into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. When Satan was cast out of heaven to earth he came to earth with great anger because he knows he has only a short time. Is it necessary for a person to do something to Satan for him to attack them? Absolutely not. Isaiah 12:12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. Saints of God, we, as children of God are in a war that will last as long as we live. We do not fight against flesh and blood, we fight against Spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Saints of God, God has a hedge about us, remember what happened to Job when God removed the hedge.
