A BEAST CAN BE AN ANIMAL, OR A BEAST CAN BE PERSON, THAT WILL LIE, CHEAP, STEAL, OR KILL A MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD, AND HAVE NO CONSCIENCE AFTERWARD. SATAN IS A BEAST. WHAT IS THE REPUTATION OF SATAN, WHAT ATTRIBUTES DISTINGUISH SATAN FROM OTHER ANGELS? SATAN IS A EXTREMELY HANDSOME ANGEL, A WICKED FALLEN ANGEL. HIS DOWN FALL WAS BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT BEAUTY, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO LIFT HIMSELF UP IN PRIDE. AND, IT WAS BECAUSE OF PRIDE, THAT HE WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, OF WHAT I THINK HIS PERSONALITY IS LIKE. WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN, BEFORE MY CONVERSION, I WORKED FOR A FINANCE COMPANY. AND ONE DAY I DROVE OUT INTO THE COUNTRY, TO SEE A CUSTOMER ABOUT HIS ACCOUNT. THE TRIP TO HIS HOME, WAS SOME DISTANCE FROM MY OFFICE. AND, WHEN I GOT THERE, IT LOOKED AS IF NO ONE WAS AT HOME. BUT, SINCE I HAD DRIVEN SOME DISTANCE, I THOUGHT I WOULD WALK UP TO THE HOUSE, AND KNOCK ON THE DOOR. THERE WAS A LARGE MASH CHICKEN WIRE FENCE AROUND THE YARD, AND THE HOUSE SIT ABOUT FIFTY YARDS FROM THE GATE. SO I OPENED THE GATE, AND BEGIN TO WALK TOWARD THE HOUSE. IT WAS A LITTLE SHOT GUN TYPE HOUSE, BUILD ON CONCRETE PIERS. WHEN I GOT ABOUT TWENTY FIVE FEET FROM THE HOUSE, A ENGLISH BREED OF BULL DOG WALKED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOUSE. YOU KNOW THE TYPE; THE BOW LEGS, THE MUSCULAR BODY, THE FANGS THAT PROTRUDE FROM THE BOTTOM JAW. I WAS TO FAR FROM THE GATE TO RUN BACK, HE COULD BITE ME BEFORE I COULD CLIMB THE FENCE, HE HAD ME TRAPPED. BUT, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HAD MADE A WAY OF ESCAPE. THERE WAS A PINE TREE, ABOUT EIGHTEEN INCHES IN DIAMETER, ABOUT TEN FEET FROM ME. SO I RAN TO THE TREE, AND GOT THE TREE BETWEEN ME, AND HIM. WHEN HE WOULD RUN A ROUND THE TREE ONE WAY, I WOULD RUN THE OTHER WAY. AND, A ROUND AND A ROUND THAT TREE WE WENT. I HELD ON TO THE TREE, AND RUN IN A SHORT CIRCLE, AND HE WITH HIS BOW LEGS RUN IN A LARGE CIRCLE. AND AFTER WHAT SEEMED A VERY LONG CHASE. THE DOG RUN BACK UNDER THE HOUSE. AS I STOOD THERE PANTING, I EXAMINED MY SELF, TO SEE WHAT DAMAGE WAS DONE. I HAD BUMPED MY HEAD ON THE TREE, AND IT WAS BLEEDING; THE SKIN ON MY ARM WAS RAW, AND REALLY HURTING. AND, THEN I GOT ANGRY, AND WENT AN FOUND ME A BRICK BAT, AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOUSE, AND TRIED TO COACH HIM OUT. BUT HE WOULD NOT COME OUT. THEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR AND LEFT. SATAN HAS MANY CHARACTERISTICS SIMILAR TO THAT BULL DOG. FOR EXAMPLE, THAT DOG GAVE ME NO WARNING THAT HE WAS THERE. IF HE HAD; I WOULD NOT HAVE WALKED UP TO THE HOUSE. THE OLD SERPENT, THE DEVIL, DOES NOT WARN A PERSON OF DANGER, NEITHER DOES HIS MINISTERS, AND TEACHERS. AS YOU WALK THROUGH THIS WORLD IT IS LIKE WALKING THROUGH A MINE FIELD. LET ME EXPLAIN; AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND HAVE RECEIVED THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, AND. COME INTO THE KNOW OF THE TRUTH, IF YOU SIN WILLFULLY; THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS.

Heb:10:26: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Heb:10:27: But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

BELOVED OF GOD, AFTER YOUR CONVERSION; AFTER YOU HAVE COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. IF YOU FALL AWAY; THAT IS RENOUNCING YOUR FAITH, AND WITHDRAWING YOUR SUPPORT FROM THE CHURCH. IF YOU FALL AWAY; THERE IS NO PLACE OF REPENTANCE FOR THAT SIN.

Heb:6:1: Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Heb:6:2: Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Heb:6:3: And this will we do, if God permit.

Heb:6:4: For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

Heb:6:5: And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

Heb:6:6: If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

LET ME WARN YOU OF ONE MORE THING, CHILDREN OF LIGHT, BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CHARACTERISTIC OF "THE BEAST. "WE AS GOD'S CHILDREN MUST; LET REPEAT, MUST NOT DO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH. FOR IF WE DO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH, WE SHALL NOT INHERIT SUCH WONDERFUL GIFTS AS, ETERNAL LIFE, THE IMMORTAL BODY, THE HEAVENLY CITY NEW JERUSALEM, AND OTHER WONDERFUL THINGS THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE THAT LOVE HIM. BEFORE YOU COMMIT ONE OF THESE SINS, STOP AND THINK OF THE COST. FOR THE COST IS VERY HIGH.

Gal:5:19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Gal:5:20: Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Gal:5:21: Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

IF YOU, DO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH, IT IS AS IF YOU STEPPED ON A LAND MINE; FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING, YOU WILL SURELY BE BLOWN UP. IN WATCHING FOOTBALL, WHEN A PLAYER MAKES SOME INFRACTION OF THE RULES, EVEN THROUGH THEY RUN WITH GREAT EFFORT, A CROSS THE GOAL LINE, THEY HAVE RUN IN VAIN.

2Tm:2:5: And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. (KJV)

MANY TIMES WHEN FOOTBALL PLAYERS COMMIT AN INFRACTION OF THE RULES, IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THEY HAVE STUDIED THE RULE BOOK. AND WHEN CHRISTIANS TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD; I WONDER IF THEY HAVE STUDIED THE BIBLE, GOD'S RULE BOOK. AS, I WALKED UP TO THE CUSTOMERS HOUSE, AND THE BULL DOG WALKED OUT FROM UNDER THE HOUSE, ONE LOOK; AND I KNEW, THAT DOG INTENDED TO BITE ME. WHY WOULD HE WANT TO BITE ME, I HAD DONE NOTHING TO HIM. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANY THING TO SATAN, FOR HIM TO HATE YOU; AND WANT TO DESTROY YOU. I BELIEVE THAT SATAN, HIS PROPHETS, AND HIS MINISTERS, AND TEACHERS, AND ALL OF HIS CHILDREN HAVE PURPOSED IN THEIR HEART TO DESTROY ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN.

1Pt:5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (KJV)

CHILDREN OF GOD, AS THE BULL DOG CHASED ME, SATAN WILL CHASE YOU, TEMPT YOU TO TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. IT IS THE HEDGE THAT GOD HAS ABOUT US THAT PROTECTS US, OR SATAN WOULD DESTROY US ALL. A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE PERSONALITY OF SATAN, IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF JOB. LISTEN AS I READ HOW SATAN BLASPHEMES JOB, AND THE ACCOUNT OF HIS DEEDS DONE TO JOB.

Jb:1:1: There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Jb:1:2: And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

Jb:1:3: His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

Jb:1:4: And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

Jb:1:5: And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Jb:1:6: Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

Jb:1:7: And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Jb:1:8: And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Jb:1:9: Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

Jb:1:10: Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Jb:1:11: But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Jb:1:12: And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

Jb:1:13: And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

Jb:1:14: And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

Jb:1:15: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Jb:1:16: While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Jb:1:17: While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Jb:1:18: While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

Jb:1:19: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Jb:1:20: Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

Jb:1:21: And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Jb:1:22: In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

THINK ON THIS SAINTS OF GOD, SATAN USED HIS CHILDREN TO STEAL JOB'S PROPERTY, AND TO KILL HIS SERVANTS. SATAN USED WIND, TO DESTROY JOB'S CHILDREN. THE OLD SERPENT THE DEVIL, CAUSED JOB TO BE SICK, COVERED WITH BOILS, FROM THE CROWN OF HIS HEAD TO THE SOLES OF HIS FEET. AND, IN THIS WORLD HE WILL CAUSE YOU TRIBULATION ALSO. BUT, PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF GOD, AND WAGE WAR AGAINST THE BEAST. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND, EITHER YOU ARE FOR CHRIST, OR YOU ARE AGAINST HIM. ONE DAY I WAS LISTENING TO TWO CHILDREN THAT SIT ON MY PORCH TALKING. ONE CHILD SAID TO THE OTHER, "I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A DEVIL." I STEPPED OUT ON THE PORCH AND SAID TO THE CHILDREN, EVERY TIME YOU SEE SOMEONE CARRIED TO THE GRAVE, IT IS BECAUSE OF SATAN THE DEVIL. FOR IT WAS SATAN'S TEMPTATION THAT LEAD TO THE ORIGINAL SIN. AND THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.

Rom:6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.(KJV).

SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF GOD, SATAN HAS THE ABILITY TO APPEAR AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. AND, HIS MINISTERS, AND TEACHERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPEAR AS CHILDREN OF GOD.

2Cor:11:12: But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

2Cor:11:13: For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

2Cor:11:14: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2Cor:11:15: Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

BELOVED OF GOD, SATAN HAS MULTITUDES OF CHILDREN. THEY PREACH AND TEACH PROPAGANDA, HERESIES, LIES. THEIR DOCTRINE IS DESIGNED TO SEND THE CHILDREN OF GOD INTO THE FLAMES OF HELL. THEY PREACH, ONCE YOU ARE SAVED YOU CANNOT LOSE YOUR SALVATION. BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IF YOU SIN WILLFULLY AFTER THAT YOU COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN. MANY OF SATAN'S CHILDREN PREACH, FAITH PLUS NOTHING EQUALS SALVATION. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD. SOME OF SATAN'S CHILDREN BELIEVE IN THE FATHER, AND DENY THE SON, OTHER BELIEVE IN THE SON, AND DENY THE FATHER. EXCEPT A MAN BELIEVE IN BOTH THE FATHER, AND THE SON; HE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN AT ALL, HE IS ANTICHRIST.

1Jn:2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (KJV)
