"What are the deep things of Satan?" Jesus mentioned to John in Revelation about the deep things of Satan (Revelation 2:24). What do we need to understand about the deep things of Satan? Before we know about his things, we need to know him. He was a supernatural being blessed with great glory and talent. When created, he and his cohort of fallen angels were among the top-ranked ministers in heaven closest to witnessing the beauty and majesty of God. However, his disobedience, followed by rebellion, separated him from all the glory he enjoyed in the presence of God.

Satan's pride wasn't earthly pride. It was spiritual pride that wanted to remove Jesus from the throne. He rejected his Creator's Word of doctrine, correction, reproof, and instruction and twisted God's doctrines and teachings to keep people away from entering heaven. We should never let our ministry become a tool that destroys others, and we should never love our ministry more than our need for obedience.

Satan tempted Jesus on earth to get Him to worship him. He tried to influence Jesus with worldliness, and his lust for power to overcome Jesus failed miserably. Now, he is manipulating the world using the things of the world (1 John 2:15-17). Technology, false science, arts, literature, etc. are all used to condition man into a lower level of knowledge and wisdom.

We have schools coming up across the world that claim to know Satan. However, they do not truly know him, or else they would become believers. We do not need to explore evil to know the devil. God reveals all that we need to know in His word. We should study the depths of the love of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This way, we will know all we need to know to build our lives and help others too.

Let us redeem the time, save souls for the glory of God, and be ready for His return. Maranatha! Praise God, and amen.
