I, Satan – 1

.

I was created, a part of the Great Creator Of Everything That Is.  A slice of God.  A sliver carved from His essence.  The first created being to ever have knowledge of Him Who Created All Things.  The first beside God to ever think “I.”  And by me the standard for all spiritual beauty and understanding was set.  I was the messenger of light.  Lucifer.  Bright and morning star of all the realm of The Great Spirit.  By me was all understanding of God measured, and without me was nothing known of Him Who Is.  Of all the Sons of God, I was the brightest.

And the most deserving.  But He did not come to me before He decided that MAN would bear His image and nature.  I and my kind had shined in the heavens, but now man was to rule all physical creation, where we could but visit.  But I wanted to be there in that new realm always, like man.  What of my desires?  I wanted to be needed and sought after by man, my importance made manifest in the physical realm as it was in the heavenly.  I wanted to be appreciated for my beauty, my perfection, my power and glory, which The Creator of All Things gave me!

And so I took it from him, from this man.  His inheritance.  His destiny.  His nature.  It was not difficult for me to do.  I simply persuaded him to open his mind to being more than his God had made him to be; that emotion and experience were the great teachers.   That he needed to have what only I could give him.

I got what I wanted and it turned to bitterness and death in my mouth.  And I could not change after that.  I could not go back.  My folly had gone forth; my glory changed to vanity and darkness, my pride to shame, and lies and murder became my calling card.

Man could not stand up to me, was no match for my wisdom, my cunning, my reasoning.  Thinking himself wise, he fell to my vain reasoning.  And my wisdom became his loss, his death, and his destruction.  And though man fell under my control and influence, The One Who Lives claimed back the course He had set, brought back victory and life and truth by His Promise of His seed

Oh but I had come so far!  The taste of that independence, of that vanity, was an aphrodisiac in my belly.  But that sweetness turned to bile when the promise of One who would stand over and on top of me came forth from The Giver of all Life.  I would never go farther than nip at this Promised One’s heels,  yet he was destined to crush my rule.  And when He Who Is spoke this, to the ones who had so freely and foolishly handed over their birthright to me, I turned my wrath and vengeance upon them all!

About stevehartlaub@gmail.com

I'm a 70 year old spiritual adventurer in life, but I don't really get along with organized religion. I find it too passive, too worldly, too conforming, too powerless ... though I know many wonderful believers involved in it. I have been a seeker of Jesus Christ since 1974 in Ketchikan, Alaska. Very early into my spiritual journey, I came to the realization that I wouldn't be able to last long in this new Godly relationship without becoming able to understand the Bible. God supplied that need, and shortly thereafter I became interested in Biblical research ... Greek, word studies, HOW the Bible is designed to be understood, its customs, etc. I married Sharon in 1985 in Vancouver, Canada. I have 5 children - 3 girls, 2 boys....ages 27-33. All were homeschooled. 3 are happily married. I have six grandchildren. I have taught and studied the Word of God in informal gatherings in England, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Canada, Alaska, Nevada and all over the United States. In 2006 I became aware of God calling me into the revelation of the glorified Christ within, and I have been involved in making that revelation known since then. I recently moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas, after living in Fitchburg, Wisconsin (suburb of Madison) since 1990.. If you're ever in the area, please look me up. I am a retired house painter, and God is providing for my wife and I abundantly! I am meek to the instruction of God...which often occurs while another person is speaking! So don't be afraid to comment on any of these studies. Because my heart is open to my master teacher, Jesus Christ!
