New Memory VerseGal 416, So have I become
your enemy by telling you the truth?

Demonic InfluenceSatan and His Strategies John
132, During supper, the devil having already
put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of
Simon, to betray Him,

23. Satan has a specific policy called Evil.
6
16. The mature believer should be able to
distinguish between sin and evil and between evil
and honor. Heb 513-14 Titus 21-15
7
Heb 513-14,For everyone who partakes only of
milk is not accustomed to the word of
righteousness, for he is an infant.
8
But solid food is for the mature, who because
of practice (faith perception and application)
have their senses trained to discern good and
evil.

24. The Satanic Cosmos
10
KOSMOS means order, regularity, disposition,
and an apt and harmonious arrangement or ornament.
11
AION, "ages", also speaks of the world or
present age and represents the evil character of
this age. 2 Tim 410 Gal 14 Rom 122 2 Cor.
44 Eph 22 612.
12
2 Cor 44,In whose case the god of this world
has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that
they might not see the light of the gospel of the
glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
13
2 Tim 410,For Demas, having loved this present
world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica
14
Gal 14,(Jesus Christ) Who gave Himself for our
sins so that He might rescue us from this present
evil age, according to the will of our God and
Father.
15
Rom 122,And do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
so that you may prove what the will of God is,
that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
16
In the N.T. where KOSMOS and moral values are
involved, the sphere of satanic influence and
authority is indicated with the understanding of
an antigod character.
17
Those demonstrating that character, as do all who
are of the world, are under the delusion of
Satans deception and have no idea what it means
to be of the KOSMOS.
18
John 1246,I have come as Light into the world,
so that everyone who believes in Me will not
remain in darkness.
19
Likewise, it is promised that as part of the
ministry of God the Holy Spirit He would
reprove/convict the world. John 168
20
To the believer it is said, In the world you
shall have tribulation, John 1633, and They
are not of the world, even as I am not of the
world. John 1714
21
John 1836,The world has not known You
(speaking of GtF)
22
John 1836,The world has not known You
(speaking of GtF) John 1725, My kingdom is
not of this world.
23
When the KOSMOS is in view it is speaking to
something that is counter to and opposed to the
righteousness that is God and that should be in
every member of the human race.
24

25
Other phrases get right to this pointSin

That we should not be condemned with the
world. 1 Cor. 1132
