Satan's Mightiest Move

Good evening. Welcome to Voice in the Wilderness. I'm Don

Noble of Pureheart Ministries, and I welcome you today with

exceedingly abundantly and overflowing joy. Several weeks ago I mentioned

that I would be starting a new study on the

Book of Romans. Now that's not going to be on

the radio. That's at my Bible study. So I teach

Bible Study on Wednesday evenings starting at six pm, and

we meet at top Hat Pools and Stoves, twenty two

fifty eight Main Street, Wheeling, West Virginia. That's twenty two

fifty eight Main Street, Wheeling, West Virginia. This is Paul's

greatest masterpiece, the Book of Romans. This is this is

a huge study, and this is a study that every

Christian should be a part of because it's it's the foundation.

It's the foundation for your faith. And I would really

really like you to join us. I've been encouraging people

who live locally to come to my Bible study. I'm

telling you you would learn a lot. You would be amazed.

I think my teaching style is it's definitely different, and

that is that I take questions from anybody about anything

that's pertaining to what we're talking about or not, so

that so that we just let the Holy Spirit move

and that way what needs to be taught gets taught.

Now I will be teaching that Book of Romans line

by line, precept by precept, and I just would really

really encourage those of you who live locally, please come

and connect with us. You're really really missing out. I

don't know how else to tell you that. Please don't

sit at home, Please don't please don't find something else

to do. This is a time when you need to

be investing in your spiritual foundation, investing in your spiritual life.

And we have fun, we laugh, you know, And my

teaching stall is that, you know, I let everybody get engaged.

Everybody can ask questions, no matter what in the middle

of me my teaching, you can ask any question. So

i'd ask I just asking you to come join us.

That'll start next Wednesday, that is September the fourth, six pm.

Top Hat Pools and Stoves, twenty to fifty eight Main Street, Wheeling,

West Virginia. Hope to see you there. Tonight's message is

titled Satan's Mightiest Move When Satan rebuilding and took a

third of the angels He probably thought this was going

to be a real success story for him, and for

many millennia it looked like he was correct. But the

Bible says that when the fullness of time had come,

God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born

under the law, to redeem those who were under the law,

that he might receive, that we might receive the adoption

of sons Galatians four, four and five. Satan became the

ruler of this world, and with it he brought darkness, deception, lying, killing, stealing,

and every evil work. The Bible gives us his resume

in John eight forty four, and it says this, Jesus

said these words. Jesus said, he referring to Satan. He

was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand

in truth, because there is no truth in him. When

he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources,

for he is a liar and the father of it.

During jesus time on the earth, his greatest enemies were

the Pharisees, and Jesus said they were of their father,

the Devil, and had Satan's desires to do what he wanted. Now.

Before Jesus started his ministry, he was led into the

wilderness we know for forty days to be tempted by

the devil. So I want to look at those scriptures.

We will be in Matthew chapter four, and okay, Matthew

chapter four, verses one through eleven. Then Jesus was led

up by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted

by the devil. And when he had fasted forty days

and forty nights afterward, he was hungry. Now when the

tempter came to him, he said, if you are the

son of God, command that these stones become bred. But

he answered and said, it is written. Man shall not

live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds

from the mouth of God. Then the devil took him

up into the Holy city, set him up on the

pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, if you

are the son of God, throw yourself down, for it

is written he shall give his angels charge over you,

and in their hands they shall bear you up lest

you dash your foot against a stone. Jesus said to him,

it is written again, you shall not tempt the Lord

your God. Again, the devil took him up on an

exceedingly high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of

the world and their glory, and he said to Jesus,

all these things I will give you if you will

fall down and worship me. Then Jesus said to him,

away with you, Satan, for it is written you shall

worship the Lord, your God, and him only you shall serve.

Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and

ministered to him. So Satan quickly recognized that this man

had to be removed. Jesus was an unrelenting threat to Satan.

Jesus went about doing good, the Bible says, everywhere he went,

and he was literally. Jesus was literally undoing the evil

works that Satan had accomplished. Satan killed Lazarus, but Jesus

raised him up. He mentally tormented the demoniac from the Gatherines,

who Jesus completely set free and put him back in

his right mind. Many who were lame could walk again.

Those who were ready to die with diseases were made

completely well by Jesus. Jesus cleansed the lepers, the baron

women became fruitful. The death could hear once again. And

of course we remember blind Bartimaeus received his sight and

there were many, many who received their sight. We just

know of the story of Bartimaeus. And then there were

those who were mute, who could not speak, but Jesus

loosed their tongue and they began to speak. Jesus unraveled

every Satanic plan that these people experienced. The woman with

the issue of blood for twelve years made whole after

she had been to every physician. Can you imagine the

woman bent over for eighteen years was made straight, She

was able to stand straight up. Jesus even said about

this woman, he said, so ought not this woman being

a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, think of

it for eighteen years be loose from this bondage on

the Sabbath. That's Luke thirteen sixteen. So even Jesus makes

mention that Satan bound this woman and caused this infirmity,

so that for eighteen years she suffered completely bent over,

not able to straighten up. So think how Satan has

injured people, caused them great suffering and pain. You might

be one of them. You might be someone who has

gone through terrible situation, I mean just the worst of

the worst, and maybe physically you have encountered multiple issues

of multiple problems and sicknesses. Well, Satan's ways are very cruel,

very cruel, and he desires all to be sick, diseased,

and maimed. His plan is to kill, slowly or quickly regardless.

He wants people to suffer, so it doesn't matter how

it comes. Imagine what goes through his mind, pure evil,

evil motives, evil intentions, works of darkness, getting people addicted

to alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, witchcraft. His motto is death,

no matter how, when, or where. Jesus said in John

ten ten the thief referring to Satan, does not come

accept to steal, to kill, and to destroy. But I

have come that they may have life, and that they

may have it more abundantly. So it's a clear distinction.

Satan's purpose is death, simple death, destruction. Jesus purpose is

life and more abundantly. So for three years Satan watched

Jesus reverse every work of darkness, every work of sickness

and disease, and he must have thought, there has to

be a way to bring this guy down and stop him.

You know, the Bible even says in the Gospel of John.

John writes at the end of his book that There

were many, many, many, many more miracles that Jesus accomplished

that are not even written in the scriptures. So Jesus

was unrelenting in his works of miracles and healings and

setting captives free, and that just put the devil over

the edge. So he engineered the death of Jesus by

using the Pharisees to eventually put him on the cross.

When Jesus took his last breath on the cross, Satan

had to be throwing a party in Hell. I'm sure

he thought, my mightiest move has come to fruition. Jesus

is now out of the way, and he's out of

my way. There was hooping and hollering, and all of

Hell was exceedingly glad. But what he didn't know was

his fate was sealed that day. What he didn't know

was that Jesus' last breath tore the veil in the temple,

giving us twenty four to seven access to the Father.

What he didn't know was that with Jesus' last breath

there was coming a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit

in the Upper Room that would forever changed the Church

and forever forever secure God's plan for man's redemption. Oh

had he known, but he didn't. Now there are millions

of human beings walking on the earth with Jesus in them,

doing the works of Jesus and breaking every chain of darkness. Hallelujah,

Oh shoot. His mightiest move of killing Jesus was the

greatest worldwide impacting move of God. Jesus was the waymaker then,

and he's the waymaker now. Jesus was the glory of

God then, and Jesus is the glory of God now

being manifested all over the world. Jesus was the healer then,

and Jesus is the healer now and through the healing

ministries of the past. John G. Lake, Katherine Coleman, Amy Semple, McPherson,

Brother Brannham, Jack Coe, A. A. Allen, Oral Roberts, T.

L Osborne, Maria Woodworth Etter, and those ministers today right

now in our time, Brother David Hogan, Brother Dan Moehler,

doctor Pauliniachi and Africa, God is still reversing the works

of darkness, sickness, and disease. Jesus was the righteous one

then and now he has millions of sons and daughters

who are righteous. Jesus was the just judge then, and

injustice is now being reversed in favor of the justice

of God. I want to share a few scriptures from

Luke chapter thirteen. I'm reading everything tonight out of the

New King James version. These are verses twenty two through

thirty three, and it says he Jesus went through the

cities and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then one

said to him, Lord, are there few who are saved?

And he said to them, strive to enter through the

narrow gate. For many, I say to you, will seek

to enter and will not be able. Whence, when once

the master of the house has risen up and shut

the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock

at the door, saying, Lord Lord, open for us, and

he will answer and say to you, I do not

know you. Where are you from. Then you will begin

to say, we ate and drank in your presence, and

you taught in our streets. But he will say, I

tell you, I do not know you where you are from.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity. There will

be weeping and gnashing of teeth. When you see Abraham

and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the

Kingdom of God, and yourself thrust out. They will come

from the east and the west, from the north and

the south, and sit down in the Kingdom of God.

And indeed there are last who will be first, and

there are first who will be last. On that very day,

some pharisees came to him, saying, get out and apart

from him, for Herod wants to kill you. And Jesus

said to them, go tell that fox. Behold. I cast

out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the

third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless, I must journey today,

tomorrow and the day falling, for it cannot be that

a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem. Now that's a

very interesting set of scriptures. Of course, we can see

that Jesus is encouraging believers to strive through the narrow

gate because he's going to because he's saying that many

are going to seek to enter, but they're not going

to be able to enter the kingdom, and they're going

to say, Lord Lord opened the door for us, let

us in, and he's going to say, depart from me.

I never knew you. And they'll be weeping and gnashing

of teeth. So you know, those are a serious set

of scriptures that Jesus is really kind of giving us

a warning that you know, we need to strive to

enter through the narrow way. Now, turned to John the

Gospel of John sixteen, and we're gonna look at verse

thirteen because as we see from what I've shared and

what Jesus said about Satan being a liar and the

father of lies, look what Jesus says in John chapter sixteen,

verse thirteen. He says, However, when he the Spirit of Truth,

has come, he will guide you into all truth. For

he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever

he hears, he will speak, and he will tell you

things to come. So there's an opposing person called the

Spirit of truth, and he is the Holy Spirit. Turned

to first John, chapter five, Verses nineteen and twenty, and

John writes, in this letter verse nineteen, we know that

we are of God, and the whole world lies under

the sway of the wicked one. And we know that

the Son of God has come and has given us

an understanding that we may know him who is true,

and we are in him who is true in his

son Jesus Christ, this is the true God and eternal life.

One thing about John John's very clear. He doesn't mince words.

He gets right to the point, and he's just telling

us right there, straight out, black and white. We are

of God, we are children of God. And the whole world,

the world lies under the sway or under the influence

of the wicked one of Satan. So this world that

you and I live in is under the influence of Satan.

But we are of God. And because we're of God.

Only because we are of God and children of God,

that we can understand verse twenty, that we know that

the Son of God has come and has given us

an understanding that we may know him who is true.

And Jesus we know he said of himself, I'm the Way,

the Truth and the Life. And we are in him

who is true, in his son, Jesus Christ, this is

the true God and eternal life. So there's no you know,

there's no there shouldn't be any doubt in your mind

about truth versus lies in First John three to eight.

So just turn turn back to first John three, verse eight.

It says he who sins is of the devil, for

the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose,

the son of God was manifested that he might destroy

the works of the devil. So, okay, we understand that

Satan is the father of lies. We know that he sinned,

and we know now the scripture says, whoever sins is

of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.

And so one of the purposes, one of the goals

of sending Jesus to the earth, and the reason he

was made manifest, was that he might destroy the works

of the devil. And indeed he did. All you have

to do is read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and

you'll see all the miracles. You'll see how he destroyed

the works of the devil. I mean he was unrelenting.

As I said earlier, he went about doing good everywhere

he went. That means that when that scripture says he

went about doing good, it means that he went about

reversing every ounce of darkness, sickness, disease. Whatever the devil

had planned and done and accomplished, he was reversing it.

So he was doing good. So God is good and

the devil is bad. It's like that simple. So what

is the goal for you and I? Bottom line? What

is the goal for you and I? The goal is

to destroy the works of the devil. Now that we

have Jesus in us, the Holy Spirit living in us,

and we are children of God, we are to do

the same thing that Jesus did when he walked the earth,

because John tells us that right. He says in First

John two, verse six, he says, he who says he

abides in him in Christ ought himself also to walk

just as Christ walked. So if we abide in Jesus,

we are to walk just as Jesus walked when he

was on the earth. And everything that Jesus did we

are to be doing today. If we have Jesus living

in us, if we're full of the Holy Ghost, we

are to be manifesting God. We are to bring on

the scene the Kingdom of God, to destroy the works

of the devil. That's what you and I are supposed

to be doing now. If you're not doing that, Ah,

there's a possibility you weren't taught anything about doing that.

And unfortunately there are many denominations that don't teach anything

about that. So you just come to church on Sunday,

sit in your little pew like a nice person, and

you hear the homily, and you know, you visit with

a few people and you go home, and life doesn't change.

It's the same thing Sunday after Sunday. And you have

done nothing to destroy the works of the devil. And

yet that's what you were called to do. You were

called to destroy the works of the devil because he

lives in you. Well, I mean, I guess you just

have to ask yourself the question why does he live

in me? I mean, just just so you can go

to heaven. No, read your Bible. And that's why I

really do encourage you to come to my Bible study.

Because we read the Bible, we I teach exactly what

the scriptures say. So I'm out of time, but I

hope that you know, I hope that encouraged you to,

you know, think about what your purpose is on this earth. Amen. Well,
