Lucifer's Playground!

By Pastor Brian Lithgow

Why write a book of this nature?

It is very simple. Lucifer (satan) is the architect of humanity's problems. From the time we are born till the time we leave this earth we will be warring with him. The scriptures tell us that problems with him began with his deceit and lies in heaven.

John 8:44: Jesus speaking to the Pharisees:  "You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies."

He first deceived one-third of the angels, then he decided he wanted to be God and organised the first church split. Then he made war against Michael and his angels, and ultimately tried to destroy God's creation by deceiving first Eve then Adam using the forbidden fruit as a weapon.

Today we know he is behind all the deception of humanity. We see it in the principle of divide and rule. The course of history has shown us this. Today it has come down to east verses west and satan (Lucifer) will use whoever he can to try to rob heaven and populate hell with God's family.

Many who read this blog may have some doubt about God's existence, so I have included a chapter on this for them. It is my experience many who made commitments to serve God have in part left Him because of something which happened in their lives or because of deception in the church itself and they could not come to terms with it.

Nobody has ever told people we live in a fallen world. Job was put through a test and in the process lost everything and suffered physically, mentally and medically as a result.

When we, the believer, accept the Lord Jesus Christ into our lives it seems like entering Grade 1 at school.  At the end of Grade 1 we are given a test and should we pass it we will go to the next level. Should we fail God's test we will remain inactive until we do pass it. For this reason there are people who have sat in the same pews for 30+ years, totally frustrated with life and don't know why.

This book spells out who God is, who Lucifer is and who we are.

I trust you will find it interesting and challenging.

Prayer of Protection

Please pray the following prayer before you read this book.

Father, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I petition you to hear this prayer. I ask you to stretch your hand of protection out upon me, my family and loved ones wherever they are, and to protect our homes, vehicles, possessions, minds and even our pets as I read this book.

I ask for your hand of protection and for you to cover us all in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, to place your warrior angels around us and for them to escort anything which is not of Jesus Christ away from us. Father, the only spirit I want to hear from as I read this book is the Holy Spirit.

Trustworthy Scriptures

2 Corinthians 2:11: ...no advantage may be gained over us by satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

1 Thessalonians 2:18: "...because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but satan hindered us.

Revelation 20:1-3: I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (v2) He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years, (v3) and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.

Satan will try to control and rule you, God’s family and humanity his way and at the same time pretend he is God. When coming against God nobody will succeed in this.

God is all knowing, all seeing, everywhere and all powerful. Satan has already been defeated by Him at the cross by Jesus Christ.

1 John 3:8: He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Foreword

This book is about who Lucifer (satan) is and who those who serve him are. I have already covered this subject (but not in such great detail) in my book Are You Being Played but have an urgency to cover this subject in more detail, so we will have an intimate knowledge about what to expect from Lucifer in the future.

Who Lucifer is, where he comes from, his modus operandi and some of the various names he is known by will be looked at. I have decided to summarise the book as well.

Because of his disobedience and rebellion against God, he and those angels of God who chose to follow him, were re-named demonic spirits and ejected out of heaven. At the same time, he (Lucifer), was given a different name which was satan. There are, unfortunately, many people in this world today, who because they have been promised fame, money and power have chosen to serve him and believe they are right and Jesus is wrong. The bible (God’s Book of the Ages) counters this with many fulfilled prophecies and has never been proven to be wrong. Lucifer’s end will be in the Lake of Fire and Sulphur with all his demonic followers and also all those people who have decided to serve him.

Revelation 20:10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Revelation 20:14-15: And death and Hades were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire. (v15) And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the Lake of Fire.

People who live by whatever doctrines/principles/policies or any set of rules or any particular belief system which are not biblical will not be judged by us. God is the judge. The whole of humanity regardless of who they are, the colour of their skin, where they live or whatever their culture is, have all been chosen by God. Regrettably not everyone who is chosen chooses to be chosen and they have purposely rejected God in favour of satan.

When we decide to examine any particular belief system someone has chosen to follow and what they have embraced, then this is what needs to be examined and not the person. We examine and try to understand how people live by them, not judge them. Based on their cultural beliefs they can become flawed and dangerous. It has been predicted that at the end times this will happen.

What was wrong 15 years ago is being touted as right today, and what was right 15 years ago today is being touted as wrong. For many in today’s world we still have choices to make. Even if this means we move out of our comfort zones, which have been prophesied about in the bible. There is a very strong possibility we are moving into the end of the age, but only time will tell if this is true.

Luke 21:11: There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

Let us not get caught up in a hype of fear because this is what satan would like to do to us. If we are believers then we need to understand, believe and trust God to make His move and to give us all His peace about the future.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4: "Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, (v4) he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God".

Jesus speaking...

Matthew 6:31-34: "So do not start worrying: 'Where will my food come from, or my drink, or my clothes? (v32) These are the things the pagans are always concerned about. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. (v33) Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what He requires of you, and He will provide you with all these other things. (v34) So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough
