Lesson 2
"I Give You
The Keys of The Kingdom"
sATAN'S kingdom is not divided
Mark 3:22-26 He is the emperor of his kingdom and his follower’s fall into very tight knit groups. His kingdom “is not divided”.
I. John 10:10 “The thief comes to kill, steal and to destroy”.
The devil wants to kill us, steal our joy and our possessions, and destroy God’s work in our lives.
A. 2 Corinthians 2:11 (RSV) “keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
B. 2 Timothy 2:26 (RSV) “and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.”
Those who fall into the Devil’s snare will actually do the Devil’s will. We want to avoid those snares at all cost so as never to do his work! In order for us to make sure that Satan does not “gain the advantage” over us we must not be ignorant of his devices.
A host of demons followed him when he rebelled against God and they are working to “kill, steal and destroy”.
Satan’s kingdom is run very well. I hope when you see what we are up against you will determine to be a disciple of Jesus and an asset to His Kingdom!
II. We are God’s “battle-axe” to destroy the Devil’s kingdom
Jeremiah 51:20,25-26 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; Behold, I am against thee, 0 destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroys all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate forever, saith the Lord.
Lucifer became the Devil when he rebelled against God. His days are numbered for God has his end in sight. God is raising up the Church today with power and authority
We are going to bring the Devil and his Kingdom down placing every enemy under the feet of Jesus! We are going to look at the Devil, his Demons and their work so:
We will not be: “Ignorant of his devices” 1 Corinthians 2:11
We will be: “Strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” Ephesians 6:10
