Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,  

The grace (unmerited favor) and compassionate love of YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) sent the Lord Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing to redeem, re-create, reconcile and restore humankind “in Christ” to the right standing lost after the trickery of the old serpent called the devil and satan, through which sin entered the earth.  

• “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. . . . Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.” John 8:44-47 (ESV)  

• “How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent orders to all the nations is crushed to the earth. But thou saidst in thine heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north: I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High. But now thou shalt go down to hell, even to the foundations of the earth. They that see thee shall wonder at thee, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake; that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities ; he loosed not those who were in captivity.” Esaias 14:12-17 (LXX Septuagint)  

• “And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:7-9 (NKJV)  

• And the Lord Jesus said, “I saw Satan falling like lightning [flash] from heaven.” Luke 10:18 (AMPC)  

Perhaps what the Prophet Isaiah spoke, and the Apostle John’s visions relayed in the Book of Revelation as well as the Lord Jesus’ response to the seventy sheds some light relative to the scientific evidence or Archaeology that the earth existed prior to Adam & Eve. For as delineated in the Book of Genesis the earth was null and void. “But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, And the Spirit of God moved over the water. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light” Genesis 1:2-3 (LXX Septuagint).  

Revelation of the information in the Word of God through the Teaching of the Holy Spirit reveals that the first thing satan lost (in that asinine attempt to rise above the Sovereign Lord God Almighty) was his position, name, and wisdom. Secondly, after manipulating the unjustifiable murder of Jesus the Christ, satan lost his authority over those on earth rendered sons & daughters of the LORD God by the blood of Jesus. For the Lord Jesus defeated satan and all his cohorts at the cross. The mystery of God’s plan to reconcile humankind to Himself, which would only occur after our redemption and  re-creation or rebirth, was revealed in Christ.  

• “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, or of the princes of world, that comes to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given of God. Which things also we speak, not the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth . . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:2-13 (KJV)  

Those who’ve been given the Ministry-of-Authority in the Name above every name (read Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:17; Matthew 18:18) endeavor both comprehension as well as application of God’s Word to establish the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven in our various God-given assignment(s). Therefore, as Ambassadors of Christ, we are to speak and do in the way of the Lord Jesus who only did and spoke as He heard of God the Father (read John 5:19 &8:26b,28,38 & 12:49-50 & 14:10,24b). Such requires (ongoing) renewal of the mind because the way of the world trains contrary to the way of God. As it is written,  

• “Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be ye transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].” Romans 12:2 (AMPC)  

Spiritual strength comes from the Word of God, strengthening the shield of faith that helps us to stand until the promises of God, already given in the spirit realm (read 1 Peter 1:4), manifest in the physical realm; and enables our ability to resist the wiles of the devil. We may personalize and pray Ephesians 1:17-23 & 3:16-21, and Philippians 1:9-11 because “faith worketh by love” Galatians 5:6b.  

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
