Today’s Lesson: Goals and Objective of Satan
In my days at Mellon Financial Corporation every business line and employee’s performance plan was set annually. These performance plans consisted of assigned goals and objectives with a plan to meet those objectives. Subsequently an employee or business manager received compensation and/or bonuses commensurate with how those goals where met or exceeded. In cases where the goals were not met disciplinary action could be taken if warranted.
I could have focused on The Father’s goals and objectives (which are for us to participate in the First Resurrection as New Sovereigndom builders with The Savior) but for me it’s Satan’s goals and objectives that are more revealing. If one studies Satan’s objectives one can become one with The Father by not following any of Satan’s objectives. The clearest outline of Satan’s objective is in the Book of Revelation where the dragon/Satan gives up his pursuit of the Yehudah to make war against those who obey The Father’s Commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
Revelation 12:17 (New King James Version)
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of Elohim and have the testimony of Yashayahnah Messiah.
Therefore it should be your goal and your objective to keep the Commandments of the Father and understand the teachings of Yashayahnah Messiah. It is within the teachings of Messiah that righteousness and guidance can be found. The Ten Commandments are in the Book of Exodus and should be studied and adhered to.
Exo 20:1 And Elohim spoke all these Words, saying, Exo 20:2 “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. Exo 20:3 “You have no other mighty ones against My face. Exo 20:4 “You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, Exo 20:5 you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, יהוה your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, Exo 20:6 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.Exo 20:7 “You do not bring1 the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught. Footnote: 1Or lift up, or take.Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. Exo 20:9 “Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath1 of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. Footnote: 1There are other Sabbaths, but this is the weekly Sabbath.Exo 20:11 “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart. Exo 20:12 “Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged upon the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. Exo 20:13 “You do not murder. Exo 20:14 “You do not commit adultery. Exo 20:15 “You do not steal. Exo 20:16 “You do not bear false witness against your neighbour. Exo 20:17 “You do not covet your neighbour’s house, you do not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbour.” Exo 20:18 And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the sound of the ram’s horn, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance, Exo 20:19 and said to Mosheh, “You speak with us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.” Exo 20:20 And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not fear, for Elohim has come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before you, so that you do not sin.” Exo 20:21 So the people stood at a distance, but Mosheh drew near the thick darkness where Elohim was. Exo 20:22 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Say this to the children of Yisra’ĕl: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from the heavens. Exo 20:23 ‘You do not make besides Me mighty ones of silver, and you do not make mighty ones of gold for yourselves. Exo 20:24 ‘Make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall slaughter on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you and bless you. Exo 20:25 ‘And if you make Me an altar of stone, do not build it of cut stone, for if you use your chisel on it, you have profaned it. Exo 20:26 ‘Nor do you go up by steps to My altar, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’
We should be especially concerned about creating images of anything in heaven or that lived on and is buried on earth (a crucifix with Christ on it is an image; a picture of Mary is an image). We should be most assuredly beyond any shadow of any doubt concern ourselves with the Sabbath Commandment. Ask ourself whose Sabbath are we celebrating, The Fathers or the City of Rome’s. Remember that the greatest teacher Yashayahnah Messiah was known as the Master of the Sabbath and was a practicing Yehudah. What Messiah practiced is assuredly what we should practice. Yashayahnah Messiah The Rose and Lily worshipped and taught on The Fathers Sabbath; that being Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.
My message is and I hope it comes from The Father through me is this. If we know who Satan is making war against it becomes a simple goal for us to be on the Father’s side by making war against Satan. The best way to make war against Satan is to keep the commandments and begin to learn and understand the teachings of Yashayahnah Our Shepherd and Rocking Ruler. We need to take those teachings and internalize them in our heart and mind marrying ourselves to The Savior who summarized The Commandments in the following way:
Matthew 22:34-40 (New King James Version)
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?
But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love Elohim your Father with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
If we build our own performance plan by modeling ourselves and our actions on these Commandments and treat our neighbors both friend and foe alike with love we will soon receive blessings and bonuses from The Father. The bonuses that Satan has for us are stored in the Lake of Fire and are simply just not worth earning.
It’s time for us to sing with Abba The Father ”I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do” as we make the commitment to Him and the blessings He will give us.
