SCRIPTURE

Why did Satan fall? 

  • Pride
  • Worship

Isaiah 14:12-15 

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ 15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. (NKJV)

Satan's plan has been, is, and always will be, to steal worship from God. 

Matthew 4:8-9

Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” (NKJV)

Worship is always expressed.

The issue isn’t that you are not emotional or expressive. The issue is who or what you are willing to give your worship to.

Who created instruments? 

Isaiah 14:11

Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, And the sound of your stringed instruments; (NKJV)

Ezekiel 28:11-14

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers… (NKJV)

Ezekiel 28:14-16 

“You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. 16 “By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. (NKJV)

Trading or Merchandising

The Three Archangels;

  • Michael – Prayer 
  • Gabriel – The Word
  • Lucifer – Worship

Isaiah 14:11

"…The sound of your stringed instruments…" (NKJV)

Ezekiel 28:13 

"The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created." (NKJV)

The 3 major classifications of all instruments:

  • Strings
  • Percussion
  • Wind

APPLICATION

  • Michael is still warring in prayer.
  • Gabriel is still warring with the Word.
  • But the Lord needs you and I to step up and fill the gap that was left in the arena of worship.

1 Chronicles 13:8 

Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets. [(NKJV)

2 Chronicles 5:13-14

Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God. (NKJV)

What did God do? 

Genesis 1:2

The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep… (NKJV)

CONCLUSION

John 8:12

“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (NKJV)

God created you in His image, and He created you with instruments to worship and praise Him.
