Satan was an angel or as the Scripture puts it “a covering Cherub” at one time. Now, cherub in this sense does not mean one of those fat little angels that flits around shooting people on Valentine’s Day. Lucifer was and is still a very powerful being who is described as a dragon, a serpent, a liar and a murderer in Scripture. He is also described as a roaring lion looking for those he can devour here on Earth. What does all of this mean?
The King James version of the Bible gave Satan the name of “Lucifer” in Latin meaning “light bringer” in Isaiah 14, but the description of him in Ezekiel begins by calling him the king of Tyre. Although the description cannot be of a human being because of the attributes being described.
Jesus spoke of watching him fall from Heaven and he tempted Him in the wilderness after His 40 day fast, so yes Satan is real and he is alive here on Earth now. We see his influence and his activity every day on the news when evil is killing people all over the world for no apparent reason. All of the diseases that Jesus healed people of, or at least many of them, were attributed to demons as the cause. These demons were the angels who had followed Satan when he rebelled against God and was cast down.
Is Satan real? Yes! The world is paying the price for not thinking that he is or rather by placing him in positions of power over it by worshiping money, drugs, witchcraft and other things in this world instead of our Creator, God. Those who are doing these things believe that they are getting ahead in life because of their efforts, when it is likely that he is pulling some strings to get things working for them. Why do I say this?
Because, if they are successful then they won’t go searching for God! Satan and his followers are all about keeping as many people from becoming Christians as possible. He is trying to hurt God in this way because he can’t hurt Him any other way. Is Satan real and do demons and principalities really work for him or with him? Yes, this is true but if you want to investigate it please don’t invite them into your life or your home! Check out news about possessions, which will not be in regular news. Read about Haiti and the voodoo which goes on there, which is powered by Satan and his cohorts.
You can choose to ignore him or his influence if you want, but seek out Jesus in your life. Eternity is a long time and regardless of what your “friends” may say about Hell, it will not be an eternity of partying. Life everlasting in Heaven is much preferred over that!
The Living Message of Christ 
I agree you you 10 thousand percent!!! Let’s come together tr preach the Gospel and expose the kingdom of Satan!! Amen!
OK! This will be a three-in-one.
1. How the World Sees Satan
Satan: Yo, boy! Want some candy? (shows teen some marijuana)
Teen (after taking the drug): Ya know, being naughty is cool! It’s gonna be a huge party in Hell. My buddy’s gonna be there too, pumpin’ up the volume to my favorite song.
2. How the Sleeping Church Sees Satan
Pastor: I know many of you may not wanna hear this, but there is a real devil out there!
Man: Ugh, whatever!
Satan: You know you have to pass that medical school test tomorrow, buddy! Well, guess what, you don’t have to take it!
Man: Wow! God actually answered my prayers.
Satan: Bring your study guide, and turn that in as your test. Hehe!
Conscience: But, won’t that be cheating?
Satan (soothes conscience)
3. How the True Church Views Satan
Satan: It’s OK, ya’ll! You good! You all set! You can sin ’til the cows come home. You ain’t gotta repent.
Mom: Girl! You better run from that church you attendin’, because it don’t smell right. I may be the quee of “amen” and “hallelujah”, but I can smell the smoke from under here. Oo, ee, that devil sure heatin’ um this place. So glad I’m goin’ home to meet my Savior in Heaven. Jeschs, forgive me, but I can’t let this girl stay in that church no more! Nuh uh! Oo, almost forgot! There is a bonus! Note: this last one is just an impression of what would happen in real-life.
Satan: You remember that time you use to throw all them tantrums and howlin’ about 9/11?
Me: You!! Get yo ten-thousand pound serpent self out of here before things get ugly! I ain’t got time for no’ dirty games. I got things to do before wallowing in my past, you judge wannabe! (watches CNN while drinking chi tea)
