Knowing the Enemy - Lucifer the light bearer – Satan the Transformer

We are in the battle of our lives, the intensity is growing daily; like any competitive challenge you gain an advantage when know your opponents game plan and his next move.

In June of 2014 we looked at some of Satan the Transformer's appearances, they can be quickly reviewed here; this post is an expansion of the first post for additional battle planning on your part. 

A word of caution; if you think this is a group battle and not one of a personal nature you will be getting some black eyes. Satan loves to separate you from the crowd and soften you up before he comes in with the kill shot.

To prepare for battle you must expect shock and awe! (Signs and wonders) This will be especially true if you left home without your morning spiritual preparation such as prayer, worship, and a good portion of the Holy Scripture, followed by putting on the whole armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Mark 13:22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Your advocate is seated on the right as you face this picture, He will give you victory and protection. It is His power and provision that defeats the darkness that may be attacking you.

Daily preparation is important especially if you speaking up on the Lords behalf during your daily mix with society. In the 1990's my wife and I were performing deliverance ministry services for our King; I can attest to the morning preparation as the most important part of the day. Don't leave home without the armor!

In the previous post Satan appeared as an old man, as a young man, as a large brook of water, and in an unmentioned form when Abraham saw Satan tangle the rams horns in a bush in an attempt to have Abraham continue with the sacrifice of Isaac.

Satan the transformer appeared in the following way to Adam and Eve during their second temptation. This second method could be going on in many churches today across America, maybe in the one you attend. The following report took place after Adam and Eve had been expelled from the Garden of Eden by God.

Please pay special attention to how Adam and Eve discussed what they were seeing and what Adam did about it. (Emphasis mine with bold text of the key points) 

The First Book of Adam and Eve

Chapter XXVII The second tempting of Adam and Eve. The devil takes on the form of a beguiling light.

1 When Satan, the hater of all good, saw how they continued in prayer, and how God communed with them, and comforted them, and how He had accepted their offering −− Satan made an apparition.

2 He began with transforming his hosts; in his hands was a flashing fire, and they were in a great light.

3 He then placed his throne near the mouth of the cave because he could not enter into it by reason of their prayers. And he shed light into the cave, until the cave glistened over Adam and Eve; while his hosts began to sing praises.

4 And Satan did this, in order that when Adam saw the light, he should think within himself that it was a heavenly light, and that Satan's hosts were angels; and that God had sent them to watch at the cave, and to give him light in the darkness.

5 So that when Adam came out of the cave and saw them, and Adam and Eve bowed to Satan, then he would overcome Adam thereby, and a second time humble him before God.

6 When, therefore, Adam and Eve saw the light, fancying it was real, they strengthened their hearts; yet, as they were trembling, Adam said to Eve: −−

7 "Look at that great light, and at those many songs of praise, and at that host standing outside who won't come into our cave. Why don't they tell us what they want, where they are from, what the meaning of this light is, what those praises are, why they have been sent to this place, and why they won't come in?

8 If they were from God, they would come into the cave with us, and would tell us why they were sent."

9 Then Adam stood up and prayed to God with a burning heart, and said: −−

10 "O Lord, is there in the world another god besides You, who created angels and filled them with light, and sent them to keep us, who would come with them?

11 But, look, we see these hosts that stand at the mouth of the cave; they are in a great light; they sing loud praises. If they are of some other god than You, tell me; and if they are sent by you, inform me of the reason for which You have sent them."

12 No sooner had Adam said this, than an angel from God appeared to him in the cave, who said to him, "O Adam, fear not. This is Satan and his hosts; he wishes to deceive you as he deceived you at first. For the first time, he was hidden in the serpent; but this time he is come to you in the likeness of an angel of light; in order that, when you worshipped him, he might enslave you, in the very presence of God."

13 Then the angel went from Adam and seized Satan at the opening of the cave, and stripped him of the pretense he had assumed, and brought him in his own hideous form to Adam and Eve; who were afraid of him when they saw him.

14 And the angel said to Adam, "This hideous form has been his ever since God made him fall from heaven. He could not have come near you in it; he therefore transformed himself into an angel of light."

15 Then the angel drove away Satan and his hosts from Adam and Eve, and said to them, "Fear not; God who created you, will strengthen you."

16 And the angel left them.

Biblical verification of Satan appearing as an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

Here are a few closing thoughts regarding what we have learned about our adversaries abilities.

• Satan can transform himself and his host, one third of the heavenly angels that fell with him, into angels of light
• Satan and his host could not enter the cave because of Adam and Eves prayers (Even though they had fallen from grace they repented and then maintained a right relationship with God who protected them)
• Because this host at the cave entrance didn't come in, Adam questioned Eve and then God
• God answered Adams question with an angel
• God's angel removed Satan's disguise and revealed him for what he is and then sent Satan away
• Today's churches who have gone along with political correctness have lost God's presence as well as His protection; Satan and his host could enter right in and join the service
• Satan also moves easily from seen to unseen, dimensional transitions, and is obviously an inter dimensional fallen angel 
• He will tell you stories and sometimes admits that he lied
