The Expansion of the Battle, Part 1

What did Satan want more than anything else like to avoid devil's arrogant statement. Dr. Tony Evans says it's important to remember who you are not.

They have only one God and we are not. This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas and president of the urban alternative. Satan's problems began when he decided to rebel against God. So how did we get roped into the conflict and how do we survive it. Let's join Dr. Evans for the answers judged. He made his reign with chaos instead of creation occurred in Baja. This is a garbage dump. That is until the birds began to sing for God was not meeting with another plane, sir, straight to the Angels that God is greater than being away from what God Margaret Jones will not able to pull off the replacement of God plan enter man created because God was simply a man creating your creative conflict and angelic conflict if you will demonstrate to angels watching it.

If you read the Bible.

Angels watching watching watching. What are they looking for Alaska on God can do better and brighter independent just didn't want to say he wanted to and so he sat in the middle you job a little. Call time. That's where you and I live short. About 10,000 years of time, time 12,000 year chronology of time before the path will become a future for us. God said, let me start my stop and think all time on God against Satan and through the wall conflict issue is people will you give allegiance. So, in Genesis chapter 1. This is intervened by God and God said verse three says, let there be light. Because darkness is always seen the judgment of the Bible, God said, let there be lights six and seven, God said verse nine, at seven God said God said God said 27 God said verse 26 says God noted because you know when God speaks something always happens. Verse 26 and God said, let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness will see the sky cattle and all all the earth, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth and God created man in God he created him male and created God blessed them, and God said before, multiply, and you will see every living thing that will call back Satan's territory creates man in charge. The terrible thing was about to move it to your house and pixel Satan. It brought to this planet.

God said to re-create this planet.

Now you run problem, man will answer because no man is equal to an angel shot by the voice of God, the greater well now it's somebody will back chapter 3 it's angelic get a little closer review just a few verses out of Hebrews chapter 2 verse six the I just want to make reference to what was testified somewhere.

What is man that thou remembered him, the Son of Man, but not concerned about him made him a little lower than the angel, the lesser, crowned with glory and honor and have appointed him as all things in subjection the way back man is created to rule created control. God remodeled it and now and Satan says not want Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing in the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden which we have another good God to one tree in order to treat tutoring. One tree gives life. One tree gives the tree of life between good and evil instruction. Verse 15 the Lord God.

Remember site within the God save the baby got booted out planet Earth. Keep in verse 16 says the Lord God commanded the man saying God, you may freely, but from the tree knowledge of you may not. You shall surely show no bank on it that God said created and listen to the task because I am creating your robot choice you must make the choice to give you 3.113, the tree of life that you live in. Don't you read creation of the initial battle.state.and those same two dreams is the tree of life.the rebel against God. But in the midst of your life right now abutting to three and one tree will bring another tree will bring creation tree will bring another tree will bring life choices is by obeying God's word. I and all around you believe God and all around whether he believed God. We are told in verse 25 God gives him help me to get the woman because they were to be partners in this endeavor. Of taking over the earth and now Satan must move quickly. Verse 25 said most people think that me they didn't have any clothes on and started me to call me for more than one day when symbolize the fact that the one that could be no bail become like a newborn baby born out of their mothers will have no they were in a newborn baby is so when they chapter 3. Verse one. Now, now, now, when asked as they were married because the last verse, verse 24, 25 describes the wedding bowels of Adam and Eve. As soon as they were married. Now why is he so concerned about marriage because God said, let them be fruitful and multiply. After stopping the development of the race. He had to move quickly. Let me tell you why had to move very quickly.

Satan is not wasting anytime in the repeat not wasting any time if you can't let them get to that of the tree to tree everybody focusing on is one tree tree will not leave that to tree. He cannot let them get to this other trade and righteousness, and all the big three is one and S1 is no delay in statements. As soon as the relationship and the instructions were given.

Satan is moving to get to them before they get that God's will.
