What was found in Satan to get him kicked out of Heaven?

Hi Charles. Isaiah 14:12-14, How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be ""LIKE"" the most High.



( Lucifer wanted to be ""LIKE"" GOD. I think he wanted the glory and the worship.) " This may carry a different meaning than want to be God" This brings it home.

Ezekiel 28:12-15, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets 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 so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down 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.

Isaiah 14:9-17 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

He wasn't satisfied with serving God. He wanted to be God. So he recruited an army and tried to coup heaven. And God banished him.

true story

Pride (Rebellion).

This is my first night of using this site. I am reading in Psalm 46. I just feel that the first verse is one of the most important verses to us as Christians. " God is our refuge and strength". Because when we have trouble in our lives, we all need someone to turn to and it says right here that God is our refuge, not for a brief moment , but always. If we feel unsure of what to do or where to go , we should think of God immediately. Talk to him in prayer, tell him what is scaring you and why you need him. He is our strength. We may feel unable to deal with our problem, but in this verse he is telling us , he is our strength. He will be there with us through all problems and he will enable us to face this problem as his strength is our strength. He will make us strong enough to face whatever we feel challenged by. He had our backs if we believe in him . So when we are afraid and don't know where to turn, our first thought should be turn to the Lord. If that is by prayer, our minister, our Bible, a church member, anything that is Christ related then how to that refuge and draw God's strength into our soul and deal with the problem. Thank you Lord for always being there for us.

Thankyou Hopr ,that was a very comforting first post ,looking forward to reading more from you .
