“On Saturday night I would see men lusting after halfnaked girls dancing at the carnival, and
on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for
tent-show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I
would see these same men sitting in the pews with their
wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge
them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night
they’d be back at the carnival or some other place of
indulgence.
I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on
hypocrisy, and that man’s carnal nature will
out!”
No longer shall man's salvation be dependent on his self-denial. And it
will be known that the world of the flesh and the living shall be the
greatest preparation for any and all eternal delights!
The Satanic Bible
Anton Szandor LaVey

As love, truth, and holiness characterize God, so malice or hatred (the spring of murder), lying,
and uncleanness characterize Satan (John 8:44; 1 John 3:10-12). Disbelief of God is what first
Satan tempts men to (Gen 3); "IF Thou be the Son of God" was the dart he aimed at Christ in the
wilderness temptation, and through human emissaries on the cross. (from Fausset's Bible Dictionary,
Electronic Database Copyright © 1998, 2003, 2006 by Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord God, because thine
heart is exalted, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God in the
midst of the sea, yet thou art but a man and not God, and though thou didst think
in thine heart, that thou wast equal with God,
Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel: there is no secret that
they can hide from thee. With thy wisdom and thine understanding
thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy
treasures. By thy great wisdom and by thine occupying hast thou
increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy
riches. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because thou didst think
in thine heart, that thou wast equal with God, Behold, therefore I
will bring strangers upon thee, even the terrible nations: and they
shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they
shall defile thy brightness. They shall cast thee down to the pit, and
thou shalt die the death of them, that are slain in the midst of the
sea. Wilt thou say then before him that slayeth thee, I am a god? but
thou shalt be a man, and no god, in the hands of him that slayeth
thee. Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hands of
strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of
man, take up a lamentation (OT: HEBREW> qiynah (kee-naw'); a
dirge -as accompanied by beating the breasts or on instruments) upon
the King of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou
sealest up the sum, and art full of wisdom, and perfect in
beauty.Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God: every precious
stone was in thy garment, the ruby, the topaz, and the diamond, the
chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, emerald, and the
carbuncle and gold: the workmanship of thy timbrels, and of thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou
art the anointed Cherub, that covereth, and I have set thee in honor:
thou wast upon the holy mountain of God: thou hast walked in the
midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the
day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the
multitude of thy merchandise, they have filled the midst of thee with
cruelty, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane
out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering
Cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted
up because of thy beauty, and thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by
reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground. I will lay
thee before kings that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy
sanctification by the multitude of thine iniquities, and by the iniquity
of thy merchandise: therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst
of thee, which shall devour thee: and I will bring thee to ashes upon
the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that
know thee among the people, shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt
be a terror, and never shalt thou be anymore.
Ezek 28:2-19 GENEVA

They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is
Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.
Rev 9:11 NIV
So, let’s cut to the chase and fast forward to the end. We all know the ending of
the story, right.
The grave below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the
spirits of the departed to greet you — all those who were leaders in the world; it
makes them rise from their thrones — all those who were kings over the nations.
They will all respond, they will say to you, "You also have become weak, as we
are; you have become like us." All your pomp has been brought down to the
grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you
and worms cover you. How you have fallen from heaven morning star, son of
the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the
nations! You said in your heart, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne
above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the
utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the
clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." But you are brought down to the
grave, to the depths of the pit.
Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate:"Is this the man
who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a
desert, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?" All the
kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb. But you are cast out of
your tomblike a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those
pierced by the sword, those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse
trampled underfoot, you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your
land and killed your people. The offspring of the wicked will never be mentioned
again. Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the sins of their forefathers;
they are not to rise to inherit the land and cover the earth with their cities.
Isa 14:9-21 – NIV
As our illustrious Pastor Ron always states...
“In the end, we win”.
But have you ever stopped and really looked at how Satin operates?
Our enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to
devour.- 1 Peter 5:8 NIV

How does the enemy operate?
The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil
- Matt 13:38-39
So let’s look at a type of weed to see if we can discern how Satan works.
Also they repented not of their murder, and of their sorcery, neither of their
fornication, nor of their theft.
Rev 9:21 GENEVA
Pharmakeia - primarily signified the use of medicine, DRUGS, SPELLS; then, POISONING;
then, SORCERY, Galatians 5:20, "sorcery" (A.V., "witchcraft"), mentioned as one of "the works
of the flesh.
In sorcery, the use of DRUGS, whether simple or potent, was generally accompanied by
INCANTATIONS and appeals to OCCULT powers, with the provision of various charms,
amulets, etc., professedly designed to keep the applicant or patient from the attention and power
of demons, but actually to impress the applicant with the mysterious resources and powers of the
sorcerer."
Let’s look at the following Biblical verse again
...the workmanship of thy timbrels, and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the
day that thou wast created
Okay, so according to scholars, it is suggested Satin was in charge of music and based on the
above verse.
Those of you who were here for the quick study on God, do you remember
... and the Spirit of God moved upon the waters - Gen 1:2 -GENEVA
Good, the first thing God wanted us to know about Him was He is Spirit, which by itself
declares, the Spirit world is the higher reality.
Now follow this...
...But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship
him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in
truth.
John 4:23-24 –KJV
Notice, what is the first thing said about the Father. How does that influence you or
motivate you?

Okay, if we did not have the Bible and God’s word about the enemy, how else do we know he
exists?
Let’s get back to music...
So why do I say, music is a key into the spirit realm?
Music links us with Spirit, Spirit both Good and bad. Besides acting as a proof outside the Bible
that Satan exists consider the following statements from those who hate God.
Referring back to “Stairway to heaven”
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of LED ZEPPELIN both claim that they don’t know who wrote
their occultic song Stairway to Heaven. Plant testified: “Pagey had written the chords and
played them for me. I was holding the paper and pencil, and for some reason, I was in a very
bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out words. … I just sat there and looked
at the words and then I almost leaped out of my seat” (Davin Seay, Stairway to Heaven, p.
249).
Other testimonies from those who form popular music culture...
Keith Richards (2002): "Sympathy is quite an uplifting song. It's just a matter of looking the
Devil in the face. He's there all the time. I've had very close contact with Lucifer - I've met
him several times.
“I’ve always considered that there was some way where we were able to channel
energy, and that energy was able to be, from another source, if you like, like a higher power
or something, that was actually doing the work. I’ve often thought of us just being actually
just the earthly beings that played the music because it was uncanny. Some of this music
came out extremely uncanny” (Bill Ward of BLACK SABBATH, cited in Black Sabbath An Oral
History, p. 7).
ANGUS YOUNG, lead guitarist for AC-DC, is called the “guitar demon”; and he
admitted that something takes control of the band during their concerts: “...it’s like I’m on
automatic pilot. By the time we’re halfway through the first number someone else is steering
me. I’m just along for the ride. I become possessed when I get on stage” (Hit Parader, July
1985, p. 60).
“I wake up from dreams and go ‘Wow, put this down on paper,’ the whole thing is
strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. I feel that
somewhere, someplace it’s been done and I’m just a courier bringing it into the world”
(MICHAEL JACKSON, Rolling Stone, Feb. 17, 1983).
"Rock has always been THE DEVIL'S MUSIC . . . I believe rock and roll is dangerous . . . I feel
we're only heralding SOMETHING EVEN DARKER THAN OURSELVES." (David Bowie Rolling Stone,
Feb. 12, 1976)
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided
against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If
Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand?
Luke 11:17-18 – NIV
Let’s talk about what Jesus is trying to say here.
______________________________________________________________________________

He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound
him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed
it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand
years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. Rev 20:2-3 NIV
Let’s talk about what is said here.
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
So who is Satin?
He is also called "the dragon," "the old serpent" (Rev 12:9; 20:2); "the prince of this world"
(John 12:31; 14:30); "the prince of the power of the air" (Eph 2:2); "the god of this world" (2 Cor
4:4); "the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Eph 2:2). The distinct
personality of Satan and his activity among men are thus obviously recognized. He tempted our
Lord in the wilderness (Matt 4:1-11). He is "Beelzebub, the prince of the devils" (12:24). He is
"the constant enemy of God, of Christ, of the divine kingdom, of the followers of Christ, and of
all truth; full of falsehood and all malice, and exciting and seducing to evil in every possible
way." His power is very great in the world. He is a "roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"
(1 Peter 5:8). Men are said to be "taken captive by him" (2 Tim 2:26). Christians are warned
against his "devices" (2 Cor 2:11), and called on to "resist" him (James 4:7). Christ redeems his
people from "him that had the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb 2:14). Satan has the
"power of death," not as lord, but simply as executioner.
