Tag: epic christian music

Hello friends! first of all, I hope that you’re all doing good! I’m deeply grateful to God to share with you a new piece of music called « From Satan To Jesus ».

The contemplation is split into two layers. Regarding the first one and how the idea of the piece came: I was scrolling, searching for an artwork to buy for some pieces of music I’m working on. I suddenly came across that somber image, representing a sad, tormented woman in anime style. It wasn’t at all what I was searching for, but I could not get my eyes off that pic! It grabbed my attention in a particular manner, and right on, my heart wanted to start a new musical project — based on that art.

There was a rush in my heart to get my hands on the keyboard and play. As said many times, I truly belive that Music is a Gift from God, so, I asked God to compose through me, and by His Grace and Kindness, the first chords and notes came. I stopped the other musical projects to lean particularly on this one. The vision became sharper in me, I saw a woman deeply involved in the occult, completely immersed in Satanism, who was extremely tormented, who needed deliverance but was hopeless — without knowing where to go.

I genuinely believe that it comes from Christ and that this piece may have been created for that person. If you’re involved into the occult and are in torment, this music was certainly made for you, and your delivrance is none other than Christ. I hope this is your sign!

For the second layer of the contemplation, I wanted to take the occasion to share with you the story of Satan and his kingdom — from his origins, to his personality to his influence and activity upon the world and finally to share what God says about him — how to overcome the devil fully, and how to be saved. If you want to know more about being saved now, I have written an article on this specific subjet here : Are You Saved?

I believe that it is very important for the world, both believers and unbelievers to know what Jesus-Christ of Nazareth has to say about Satan. The Devil is not a little red creature with two little horns, a tail and a pitchfork. It’s not even an angel, but a cherub. Surely a complex creature with many detailed and intricate features (see as an example in the book of Ezekiel, chapter 10, verse 14). Perhaps the highest in the hierarchy of heavenly beings, seemingly even the closest to God.

He is not ugly but extremely beautiful ,isn’t an atheist but a devout and hateful religious being. His influence is more effective and increases the best, when no one knows who he is, when no one knows his involvement in Heaven, on earth, and on humans. The Bible says it clearly. You and I have an invisible enemy to identify and to defeat.

If you’re new here — before to go further in the description — I’m a simple Bible believing Christian. It means that I only believe the Bible. I don’t belong to any kind of denomination, but only the Scriptures. There is a great deal of differences between the Bible and all the denominations out there — some more than others — so I encourage you to go and stay to the source, (The Bible) and be grounded in it. Fact-check everything with it, and you won’t have any confusions in your faith regarding false and stranger teachings, for they will be easy to spot and to avoid.

Satan’s Origin and activity before he rebelled: Jesus says that Satan was created in the very beginning of time, perhaps even before planet earth came into existence. Perhaps, he was even rejoicing among the complete corpus of celestial beings, when our planet came into being, as states the book of Job :

«Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know understanding, Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it? On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy? »

God — Book of Job, chapter 38 verse 4 to 7).

To clarify the context, God is replying to Job’s issues he had in his reasoning against God. To answer Job, God went back to the Creation Week, stating that the « Sons of God shouted for joy » when they saw the earth forming. The « Sons of God » are another recurrent expression to identify The celestial beings (see here and here). Based on that verse it is more likely that Satan was among them praising God. At that time, he did not fell and everything was made good, as God said.

His creation seems to be very special, as music was prepared for his service on the very day he came into existence. (It’s worth remembering that Satan is deeply connected to music, and seems to know it very well, furthermore, based on the King James Version, many think that music was even crafted in his very body). Moreover, The Scriptures tell us that he was covered with precious stones. We don’t know whether these stones were encrusted in his body or around him, but it says a lot about his stature. He was full of beauty, wisdom and authority. He was created free and good — full of integrity — until he rebelled against God. The Bible reveals two of his main geographical locations before he revolted. He was assigned to the very Mountain of God in Heaven, and was also assigned to the Garden of Eden on earth, to watch over it. He probably watched Adam and Eve from birth, and perhaps even “guarded” them, maybe even the flora and fauna. I’ve put the whole verse if you’d like to read it for yourself.

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.

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, 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, 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 sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it 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 any more.

— God, Book of Ezekiel, chapter 28

As said, he spend his early life as a good and faithful, but got seduced by its own beauty, stature, wisdom and power. He wanted more, it wasn’t enough. He then became violent. Not only he decided to rebel against God, but he wanted to become like the God of the Universe himself — placing his throne above God’s. (Book of Isaiah chapter 14, and here). In His rebellion against Him, he also seduced a large nombers of other angels (Which were also created good and free, but decided to follow the fallen cherub.)

After his fall he went to Eve to seduce her. Note that he did not come to Eve as a cherub in its true physical shape, but certainly put his spirit through an animal « the serpent » — (that had at the time many amazing intellectual features, even capable of language and reasoning (see here and here) — had a completely different physical shape from the one we see today (see here) and agreed with the devil. The very animal got punished right after. He then approached her. Adam and Eve rebelled against God, humanity was doomed, death entered the world, our relationship with God was broken.

How did Satan dommed mankind? by evil wisdom, by a sweet, and ear candy lie. No weapon, no force, only well crafted lie. He said to Eve to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to become… like God! (see here). (Note that it is still the same wicked desire Satan has, obsessed with the idea to become God. It worked for him enough to be doomed, so it must work for Adam and Eve!)

Satan’s Personality and Activiy :

1) Jesus says that Satan is the father of lies. Because he was the very first that lied in the creation, making him by default the father of liers. Each time we lie, we’re similar to Satan. He excels at lying, to the world, to you and me. He can make you believe that you are special on Monday, someone important — then make you believe that God cannot forgive you for you’re the worst sinner that ever walked planet earth, the very next day. Not all the voices you hear from within are from you, nor true or morals. Take into consideration the influence of Satan so that you won’t be fooled. Jesus explains how to defeat him, I’ll try to explain below. (God loves you very much, even in your lowest)

2) Jesus says that Satan is also a murderer since the beginning. It’s true that because of him and Adam, humanity, started to die, making him the worst murderer in history. Not only he killed in this way, but also through sickness, pain, diseases, and all sort of violence.

"He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

— Jesus, book of John, chapter 8 verse 44

3) Jesus says that Satan is also a Stealer. When God created the earth, it was for Himself and for humans to rule over. Adam was meant to control the earth in a good and holy way. When we fell and got doomed, we lost our control upon it, and was given for a certain time to The Devil — making him the greatest thief of the history of the world. He stole earth from us, humans. Not only that, but he wants to steal your joy, your hope, your life, your career, everything you have.

4) Jesus says that Satan also destroys. Everything you’re trying to build, he will do his best to destroy it. If you walk with God and follow Jesus, He won’t be able to but he will try. Remember that without Jesus you cannot defeat Satan! (See here and here).

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy"

— Jesus, book of John, chapter 10 verse 10

5) Jesus says that Satan is hatred. He hates you and me to the core. (See here). You might have noticed that secular entertainments, perhaps even philosophies likes to represent him as the victim or the “good guy”. It is his dream that anyone could believe this. His dream of dreams is to see you doomed with him, especially to see you suffer, in torment. He wants to see you loose all the things or people you love, including the smallest pet you cherish. As the proverbs states : «Misery likes company ».

"Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

— Apostle Peter, first letter, chapter 5 verse 8 

6) Satan is intensely religious. He knows the Bible better than any Bible scholar (see here). He tempted Jesus with the Bible. He seduced Eve with a distorted Bible (The very Spoken Word of God). They killed Jesus with the Bible. He is actively involved in religious affairs. He’s the creator of every religion on earth, he’s behind every idol you can imagine (see here and here and here), and he’s working hard in the Christian faith itself, to imitate, corrupt, confuse, disgust and destroy people from within. (See here, here and here). He does everything he can to keep mankind away from the Truth, Jesus-Christ, God in the flesh who came to die for us, to save us from our sins, to repear Adam’s fall, and who Rose Again. (See here).

Then the devil took Him (Jesus) up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

Satan — Book of Matthew, chapter 4, verse 1. 

Right above is an exemple of Satan, tempting Jesus with the very Bible, saying “For it is written”. Well known expression in Scriptures, meaning “Written in The Scriptures”. Have you noticed that the world is not anti-God, but anti-Jesus? Have you realized that the world takes the name “Jesus” as its curse word, but no other name from any other faith? Have you noticed that so-called Christians used the very name of Jesus to kill people? This is Satan, and he must be exposed. Jesus Himself said so.

Before to continue, it’s important to emphasize that — according to Jesus Christ of Nazareth Himself, there is no other way to Salvation, to God than through Himself. We can only enter Eternity through Christ. His Divinity, His Death and Resurrection for us. Even if a religion presents Jesus differently, saying even good things about Him, but not as the Scriptures said, you know who’s behind it. Satan. As long as you deviate a bit, and don’t trust the real Jesus — Satan rejoices, because he knows that without Christ’s Sacrifice, you and I will remain in sin, and that one day we’ll have to answer for it!

Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

— Jesus, book of John, chapter 10 verse 10

7) The Bible teaches that Satan still has access to heaven. (See here, here, there and there). For some reasons we don’t understand fully, Satan has still access to God. As surprising as it may sound, Satan is more in heaven than on earth. So what does he do there? He accuses us. Day and night, he accuses us before God. He makes sure to remember God our sins, wrong doing, to solicit God’s Wrath and Justice upon us — so that we can get legally hit. (that is why it’s very important to always repent, so that the devil can’t have anything to bring to God). The following passage, talks about Satan’s future when he will be fully thrown on earth, then in hell:

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: 

For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

— God - Book of Revelation, chapter 12 verse 10

8) Jesus says that world dominion has been temporary given to Satan

As we saw above, Satan has dominion over the earth for a certain period of time. (See Matthew chapter 4 verse 8 to 11). Clearly, the world we see today is in chaos. Some countries are worse than others. Satan can’t be everywhere at once. He has a well-articulated and coordinated kingdom, in which he reigns at the highest level.

The Bible breaks down the layers of Satan’s kingdom. As we said earlier, Satan seems to be more in heaven than on earth. Just below Satan, are the Principalities. What are they? Importants fallen angels who resides in heaven and influences regions, even countries or kingdoms, to evil, wickedness, through politics, and all possible spheres (see here).

« For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.»

— Apostle Paul, book of Ephesians, chapter 6 verse 12

Then, on earth, Satan has his demons, who are also fallen angels but who’ve lost their bodies. That’s why a demon absolutely wants to live in a human, for he has no rest otherwise. We can’t estimate the number of demons roaming the earth, but we can be sure — given the high number of people tortured — that it’s in the millions, if not billions (I’m not affirming anything, it’s a purely subjective statement).

These demons all specialize in something. They cause mental illness, skyzophrenia and many other physical diseases. A person can be also possessed by several demons simultaneously (see here). When Jesus healed and delivered people from demons, He often called them by their specialty. See an example here:

He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.”

Jesus — Book of Mark chapter 9 verse 25	

How to overcome Satan?

Jesus is God become human. Since the human race was condemned, Jesus came to save it and thus became man. When we rebelled against God, it is written that “sin” entered humanity. Sin is a law, living within us, which makes us live a life opposed to God, which makes us God’s enemy, which makes it impossible for us to please God. Furthermore, sins and all evil will have to be punished at some point, otherwise God wouldn’t be Just.

However, God loved us so much that instead of punishing you and me for our evil deeds, He punished Himself. When Jesus died on the Cross, He was punished in our place, so that you and I could be cleansed and saved from our sins and eternal punishment.

Your sins and mine were transferred to His Body. When Jesus died, our sins died too. When He rose from the dead, He proved that He was who He claimed to be — God.

If you believe that Jesus loves you, that He came and Died to save you from your sins, if you believe that God raised Jesus from the dead, you are now saved. And that’s how you defeated Satan. (See here).

Jesus gives us authority and power over demons and all Satan’s forces of evil. Demons can be cast out of people. Some may resist, but they will still be cast out through prayer and fasting (see here and here and here).

A demon enters when you open a door for it. It could be magic, tarot cards, new-age stuff, ouja boards, consulting mediums, invoking spirits, witchcraft, depravity, alcohol, drugs, sin in general, etc. Not everyone is possessed, though.

I was tormented by a demon for 7 months straight, day and night, until I gave my life to Jesus and was saved. I was delivered shortly after I started following Christ.

There are so many things and details to say about Satan. This is already a long article. Forgive me, it’s far from perfect! I hope you’ll catch the main points. I encourage you to give your heart to Jesus, and to follow Him through the Scriptures. He Loves You. I would like to conclude by a quote from Jesus, that gave the music its title (He is talking to Paul the Aposlte) :

 I'am sending you to them, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

— Jesus, book of Acts chapter 26, verse 18
