Spoken like a true pawn of the craft...
Lucifer and his angels (devils or evil spirits) are real. The devil is not a figment of one's imagination or a mere symbol of evil; he has personal
existence. How do we know he exists? The Bible is a supernatural book of revelations that gives information about the true and living God. It also, it
tells about Lucifer and his plans. I do believe Satan and his demons exist, because the Bible says so, because of their existence I am called into a
deliverance ministry.
Satan's career begins in a distant past. God created a multitude of angels to do His bidding. In the angelic rank there was one angel who was given
the highest position/ guardian to the Throne of the Most High. His name was Lucifer.
Information about Lucifer is revealed to us in Ezekiel 28:11-19. This passage is addressed to the prince of Tyre, a man who was vain because of the
wealth he possessed and thought himself to be God. While God is rebuking the prince of Tyre for his vanity, another character called the king of Tyre
is introduced. He is revealed to be the real motivator of the prince of Tyre.
Ezekiel 28:11-19 "The word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre (Lucifer) and say to him: This is what
the Sovereign LORD says: You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious
stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your setting and mountings were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you
walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread
trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from
among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to
the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come
out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. All the nations who knew you are
appalled at you; you have come to horrible end and will be no more."
At this time Lucifer, along with the other angels were in perfect harmony with God. There was no rebellion nor any dissent, there was only one will in
the universe, the will of God. Everything was harmonious until Lucifer decided to rebel against God. The prophet Isaiah reveals the unrighteousness in
Lucifer.
