Pride & Joy
“60% of Christians don’t believe in the Devil.”
-Barna Research Group 2008
Just because you don’t believe in something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Revelation 12:11 NHEB
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. They did not love their life, even to death.
1 Peter 5:8 NIV
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Isaiah 14:12-17 NKJV
12 - “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!
13 - For you have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north;
14 - I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’
15 - Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit.
16 - “Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms,
17 - Who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his prisoners?’
Lucifer = Light Bearer
Ezekiel 28:12-17 NKJV
12 - “You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 - You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 - “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 - You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.
16 - “By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.
17 - “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, that they might gaze at you.
The #1 way the Devil attacks us is Pride
Genesis 3:4-7 NKJV
4 - Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
5 - For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 - So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 - Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
Proverbs 6:16-19 NKJV
16 - These six things the Lord hates,Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 - A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 - A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 - A false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

2) It Keeps Our Faith In God Strong & Active
Psalm 16:8-9 NKJV
8 – I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 - Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will rest in hope.
3) It Keeps Everything In Its Correct Perspective
Matthew 6:13 KJV
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

2 Timothy 3:1-4 NKJV
1 - But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 - For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 - Unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 - Traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
