Why God created Satan

Title: Why God created Satan Summary: This message addresses the question of why God created Satan if He knew rebellion would occur. Vaughn teaches that free moral choice required the possibility of disobedience and compares human history to a classroom in which God allows Satan's alternative system to prove its failure. The sermon emphasizes obedience to God's word, rejection of Satan's suggestions, and confidence that God remains in control and will ultimately restore His rule. ove its failure.

Brother Tom why why doesn't Yahweh just wipe the devil out you ever thought about that don't you think he can don't you think he [Music] should don't you know he could then why doesn't he why if Yahweh knew that Satan would go bad why you would creating I asked the Lord that question and you know what he told me he said how foolish of a question he said what inventor ever stops making an invention because it might go bad he said if it wouldn't have went bad with Satan it would have went bad with you somebody would have went bad sh so do I create nobody do I create nothing you see if we take that approach we'll all stop doing anything for fear of failure I'm glad y'all wa didn't fear failure he saw failure he knew there would be failure so he created a plan before he created a devil it's called plan a it looks like Plan B but it's plan a he said if I took that approach I wouldn't have created anything because if it had not been Lucifer sister hope it would have been you that disobeyed him somebody would t's plan a he said if I took that approach I wouldn't have created anything because if it had not been Lucifer sister hope it would have been you that disobeyed him somebody would have disobeyed him so what what do you mean why did you create the devil what choice did he have he had to create something so that something else could come ladies and gentlemen I render to you tonight that when God created the devil the enemy came to the creation of Yahweh Yahweh created Adam and Eve perfect but here came the enemy and he came for one purpose do you know the enemy has no power do you understand that do you know the only Power that Satan has in your life is the power of suggestion oh yeah he can suggest to you that God don't care about you and whether you believe it or not gives him his power all it can suggest is that God doesn't care about you and if you believe him you gave him all power if you reject him you defeated him so the only Power he really has is for you to believe his suggestions if he tells you God's forgotten about you and you come back with a verse that says I am the apple of his eye then immediately you destroyed all of his power that's right now the enemy came into u God's forgotten about you and you come back with a verse that says I am the apple of his eye then immediately you destroyed all of his power that's right now the enemy came into the garden and he told Adam and Eve that he had a better way before that Yahweh had met Adam and Eve in the garden every day teaching them his law teaching them his Torah teaching them his instructions now what else do you think they were talking about the NFL they were learning yahweh's ways see anytime you be oh thank you Holy Ghost anytime you begin to learn yah's ways the snake will always find you listen to me listen to me the snake don't bother you until it looks like you're going to follow Yahweh and he'll always come up in your garden always and he never comes in telling you that God's not real no no no he knows better he never comes in telling you God is bad no notice what hash time that old serpent told the Son of God and his wife he said to them but surely Yahweh didn't mean what he said right they told him if we eat of this tree we're going to die what did he say he said surely that's not what he meant when he said keep the Sabbath holy surely he meant any day you wanted to keep on he didn't of this tree we're going to die what did he say he said surely that's not what he meant when he said keep the Sabbath holy surely he meant any day you wanted to keep on he didn't quite mean it as straight as you think he meant it watch this snake watch it that was the first thing to get you to question the word of God he'll not get you to question God but to question the word of God you know how you'll do it your'll phone will ring and it'll be somebody that's concerned about you they're concerned about you that you're part of a cult now they're concerned about you that you're getting off track when you're finally getting on track that little snake I'm preaching to somebody now that little snake finds his way through your loved ones he can't get you through your enemy but they can get you from dear old mama and dear old daddy and Dear Old Friends what's the snake he will never tell you God isn't real but he will always convince you that God didn't mean exactly the way it's written now when he comes he presents you with an opportunity to rebel against Yahweh so I'm going to ask every one of you a question now and listen carefully we're some new folks Joanna if I was an algebra e presents you with an opportunity to rebel against Yahweh so I'm going to ask every one of you a question now and listen carefully we're some new folks Joanna if I was an algebra teacher and I had a classroom full of students and while I'm up teaching the algebra class Rene puts her hand up back there or brother Joe and he says you're wrong teacher that's not how you work at formula now I've been to college I know how to work that formula I was working that formula before you was born but you think you know a better way I'm wrong at that point the whole class does what everybody you can hear them gas stay with me Saints I'm getting some don't make me preach let me talk a few minutes the whole class just goes they're waiting to see what the teacher is going to do I have two options at that point I can tell Renee and Joe to get out of my class and don't ever come back then what does that do to the class it puts something in their mind what does it put in their mind that maybe the teacher's wrong maybe the teacher scared that that person knows a better way or I can do this I can say Joe come up here I can say here's the chalk there's the class there's the board show us the better he teacher scared that that person knows a better way or I can do this I can say Joe come up here I can say here's the chalk there's the class there's the board show us the better way and then I'll go take my seat in the corner at my desk and it looks like I Disappeared it looks like I'm not involved now it looks like I forgotten my class but no I'm doing what a good God does I'm going to let this class learn a lesson and I move out of the way and Joe begins to scribble on the chalkboard he scribbles for a few minutes and he races it real fast and says no he starts over I thought fall asleep at the desk because I know how this is going to turn out 3 hours later I wake up and say Joe have you figured it out son the class is back there in torment Joe still ain't got it right but he looks at me and like oh no I'm almost there and I go back to sleep because this class made me do that when they gas like maybe Satan had or Joe had a better plan maybe I didn't have a right to rule them after all maybe somebody was smarter than me so I move out of the way and Joe continues to write on that board and maybe about an hour or two later somebody in the class throws a piece of the paper at me was smarter than me so I move out of the way and Joe continues to write on that board and maybe about an hour or two later somebody in the class throws a piece of the paper at me and said would you please wake up and do something where are you teacher you forgotten us where are you no I hav't forgotten you I'm teaching you a lesson and I'm teaching you there's only one right way and finally when Joe is out and he can't accomplish it and the class begs me to come [Music] back when they beg me to return and teach them the right [Music] way then for 6 days I let Jo that all Lord for six days I let him try failure after failure after failure until the point where the per the people of the Earth in that classroom that's watching Satan with his supposed better way I watch them as they look around and say where's the teacher where are you but I can't come back yet because if I do I will stop the butterfly from forming in the Cocoon I will interrupt it before the time so I give Joe his six days and he's a failure and then when the class asked me to come back you ever heard in Revelation even so come Lord Jesus when they ask me to come back I go over to the board now cuz I got authority ure and then when the class asked me to come back you ever heard in Revelation even so come Lord Jesus when they ask me to come back I go over to the board now cuz I got authority to do it and you know what I do I say son you see that back door don't let the door not hit you where the good Lord split you get out of it I have authority now the whole class won't Wonder they'll look back over those six days of Torment those six days of prisons and War and those six days of broken homes and broken lives and sexual disorientation and addiction they'll look back over and they will finally know that the right way is the only way Now ladies and gentlemen Yahweh had to step aside why because Satan had a better way what way was that the way of K God's way is the way of give Satan's way is the way of Satan's way is the way of the Jungle live or die it's the way of me first it's the way of nobody else matters but me that's Satan's way God's way is totally different here's Satan's way I'm My Own man I'll do it my way that's Satan here's Satan's way you can't tell me nobody has authority over me I'm my old man at Satan's way God's way is submit yourself to the hand of God see God's way is all y that's Satan here's Satan's way you can't tell me nobody has authority over me I'm my old man at Satan's way God's way is submit yourself to the hand of God see God's way is all about submission can I say it to you God's way is the weak way oh yeah God's way looks like the weak way it looks like you got to be weak when in fact you're never strong until you become weak because it is in your weakness that he makes you strong and so ladies and gentlemen tonight we have come here at the Feast of atonement for me to tell you and Waveland and B St Louis and all of the GF Coast that if you thought for a second that the teacher has disappeared you're wrong I know where he's at I know why he's there and I know when he's coming back he is in control of everything
