Intro: We need to understand what it is at work in our world that we cannot see; it is the evil one – Satan. The Word of God says it is a spiritual war.

I. The person of Satan.
A. Satan was created in perfection, see Ezekiel 28:13.
B. Satan was corrupted in pride; see Ezekiel 28:15 and 2 Corinthians 11:14-15.
C. Satan was condemned to perdition; see Ezekiel 28:17-19.

II. The program/schemes of Satan see Ephesians 6:11.
A. Satan lies about himself, see Genesis 3:1. Satan disguises himself.
B. Satan lies about God, see Genesis 3:1 and Genesis 3:4-5.
C. Satan lies about the consequences, see Genesis 3:4-5, 1 John 2:16 and 1 Timothy 2:14.

III. The product of Satan’s ministry.
A. Satan produces false religion, see Genesis 3:5.
B. Satan produces heathenism (idolatry), see Genesis 3:6.
C. Satan produces corruption, see Genesis 3:6. We influence people for both good and evil.
D.  Satan produces slavery – instant death spiritually.

Personal Application:
1. Satan was a created being – there was a time when the evil one didn’t exist.
2. Hell was created for the Devil.
3. Unless one is born again you cannot see the Kingdom of God.
4. There is One who can free you if you call upon His Name!
