Our Accuser is Cast Down
LUKE 10:18
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
(This was right at the beginning before man came upon the earth)
REVELATION 12:7-12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (This is a different casting out – this is the casting out of Satan as the accuser of the brethren)
10 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 (this is what has been taking place during the seven church ages – so that is why there had to be an intercessor on the mercy seat).
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony (the word of their testimony is their confession of the message that they believed for their age. In Noah’s day the elect believed in Noah’s message, and that is what caused them to overcome the deception in Noah’s day, and so it has been in every age, and as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in this age – God sends an end time prophet with an end time message just before the judgement to bring the people out of the deception of the age); and they loved not their lives unto the death (they were not just talked into it, the message was a revelation to their hearts, and they loved it greater than their own natural lives).
12 ¶ 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.
REVELATION 20:10
10 And the devil that deceived them (this is the unbelievers of the word – this is not the bride because the bride cannot be deceived because of the word that they have received by the end time message) was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Our Accuser is Cast Down
It is important to notice in our three scripture readings that there are three stages of the Devil’s falling and being cast down as taught in the scriptures.
1. First, right at the very beginning, after that pride had entered into Lucifer’s heart because of his 5 “I wills”, he was cast out of Heaven and falls like lightning – and remember that all of those angels that followed him in his lie that he told them are also cast out with him to the earth.
But even though he is cast out and falls from his position in heaven as being next to God, he still has access to God as the accuser of the brethren, and he still doesn’t lose his gift of what God had made him (he was beautiful, he was intelligent, he was powerful and persuasive), but instead of using his talent to serve God, he uses it against God and God’s children, that is why a gift of God can be used either for God or against God, because your gift is what God has given to you regardless of how you chose to use it, and you do not have to repent of your sins and become a believer in God for your gift to operate.
Elvis Presley had a gift to sing, and he could have used his gift to sing praises to the Lord, but he chose to sing “jail house rock” and “I’m all shook up”.
HEAR.YE.HIM_ EDMONTON.ALBERTA WEDNESDAY_ 57-0807
E-18 People will miss prayer meeting to attend some kind of a lodge meeting. And how in the world can a Christian, who calls themself a child of God, ever go into these places to eat, and so forth, these little old nickelodeons (A nickelodeon is an old fashioned coin-operated machine that plays music. You can also call a nickelodeon a "jukebox."), and play them rotten songs of Elvis Presley's, and all of those things that talk about being shook up. I tell you; you're going to be shook up one of these days, and that's true.
2. The next casting down of Satan is when he is cast down as the accuser of the saints – that is what is taking place right now since the opening of the seven seals, because during the church ages he was the accuser, but since the mighty angel (Christ) descended in 1963, there is silence in heaven, there is no more accusing because the final judgement has been pronounced – the verdict has gone forth that we never even did it in the first place, that is why that justification took on an even greater meaning in this age.
THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125
269 You're standing, completely. You never sinned at the first place. God don't even know. It's in the Sea of Forgetfulness. You never did it. You were accused of it, by the accuser. But really, from the beginning, you were predestinated to be a son and daughter of God. You're standing there, washed. And your old book of divorcement is put away, and it's dead, absolutely out of existence, even in the mind of God.
The last battle ground now is in our mind, that is the only place left that he is able to try to accuse us and condemn us if we let him – but if we know the word then that is what also casts him out of our thoughts because every time he tries to accuse us, if we have confessed our sin, then we stand as though we never even did it in the first place.
3. The third time he gets cast, he is cast into the lake of fire in Revelation 20.
Look at the scriptures for these three castings.
First casting is when he falls like lightning from heaven.
ISAIAH 14:12-17
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (The ground is the earth)
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
LUKE 10:18-20
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS_ JEFF.IN COD SUNDAY_ 59-0628E
382-99 Satan was literally cast out of heaven by Michael the Archangel and God. And he was cast to the earth, come to the earth, got into the serpent, deceived Eve, and then has got into men, women, all down through the age on the same thing he started at the beginning: a great big kingdom, prettier than the other fellow's, be governor over all, know-it-all. "Our denomination is the biggest; it's--predo--it's--a--it's predominant over the others."
But in Revelations 12:7-9, Satan the spirit, the devil, which is up there now, accuser of our brethren, all right; the Church is taken up, and Satan is cast out (this is what we see happening in the world today with all the evil that is taking place – he is being cast down into the earth and into people until he finally becomes incarnate. Just as Christ and his bride are becoming one, so is Satan and his subjects becoming one). When the Church goes up, Satan comes down. Then Satan incarnates himself in the antichrist and is called the beast.
This casting out is also referred to by Jesus in: JOHN 12:31
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Even though he had fallen from heaven in the beginning, he still has access to God as the accuser of the saints until the time of the judgement of this world which is after the message of Malachi 4, because God cannot bring judgement to the world unless he first sends the world mercy in the form of a prophet.
JOB 1:6-12
6 ¶ Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

57 There was Job of the Old Testament, when Satan, our accuser, accused him of being a secret sinner. But Job knowed that he had not sinned. He knowed that he'd confessed everything that he'd done and put a burnt offering out there. That was God's requirement. That's all God required, was that burnt offering and a confession. And Job done those things.

62-6 {407} But when he crossed, he separated his sonship. He's a sinner by nature; he's under the hands and dominion of Satan; and God took a sacrifice, a chemical of the blood, but the blood of bulls and goats did not divorce sin; it only covered sin.
If I've got a red spot on my hand and cover it with white, the red spot's still there. See, it's still there. But God sent down from heaven a Bleach for sin. It was the Blood of His own Son, that when our confessed sin drops into God's Bleach, try to find it again. The coloring of sin goes back through the mediators and down through the time until it hits the accuser, Satan, and lays on him till the day of the judgment.
63-2 {410} What happens to the son? He becomes in perfect fellowship with the Father again, standing on the other side of the chasm with no remembrance of sin against him. No more... There's no more stain of bleach can be seen anywhere. He's free. Hallelujah. Just as that Clorox or that ink can never be ink no more because it's broke up and sent back again...

Then in Revelations 12:7-9, when Satan is cast out, the accuser... You want to put that down, 'cause I want to read it; we haven't got time now, 'cause it's twent--fifteen till ten. See?
Opening scripture
REVELATION 12:7-12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 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.
11 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.
12 ¶ 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.
This is the time that we are in now, between when he is cast out as our accuser since the opening of the seven seals, and when he is bound at the beginning of the millennium for a 1000 years
*Then the third casting is when Satan and his followers are cast into the lake of fire
REVELATION 20:10
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone (Deception is the bad smell that the devil leaves behind him everywhere he goes – if someone is in a deceived condition then you can guarantee that the devil has been involved in some way, and that is why the only repellent against deception is the revelation of the word that God sends by his grace in your day), where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever (until they are totally annihilated, because that is what fire does – it completely annihilates. Notice, they do not suffer eternally because that would require them to have eternal life, but they are eternally separated from God, that is the eternal judgment part).
JOHN 8:1-11
1 ¶ Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
LIVING.DYING.BURIED.RISING.COMING_ LA.CA FRIDAY_ 59-0403
E-12 Jesus prayed that prayer that we might love one another as He loved us--as He loved us! And He loved us so much that He died for us. No one could love like that unless they--with the natural love, because it would not hold out. It won't express itself. It'll do as long as there's friendship connected with it. But when the friendships turn, then people begin to say, "Well, he did so-and-so. She did so-and-so. They backslid, they..." Real godly love goes after that backslider till it finds him. Godly love goes and stoops to the lowest of hell to pick up a man or a woman that's fallen.
That's what we're lacking today. We have a fine cultured church, educated, fine dressed, fine buildings, nice choirs, beautiful music, some of the best the world's ever had. But we are dying for some of that godly love.
E-13 Jesus expressed it well when He found the prostitute, drug before Him guilty of an adultery. And they drug her before Him, and said, "Now, the law requires for her to die. What do You say do about it?"
I tell you, He showed Himself what He was when He turned with these words, "Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more." What more love could be than to take a wayward person like that, and see Who He was, and freely forgive the woman of her wrong.
He expressed it again greatly when He was dying at Calvary in His last words at the cross, and His enemies' spit was hanging on His face, He cried, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
No one could love like Him. You can't manufacture that kind of a love. It's a--the gift of God that comes by the Holy Spirit, the only way you'll ever be able to have that love.
THE.FOURTH.SEAL_ JEFF.IN THURSDAY_ 63-0321
305-2 {183} Notice now, he will be given a heart of a beast at that time, and Satan will incarnate himself, because when the Church goes up, Satan's cast out. See (remember that we must first be caught up in the revelation of the message of the hour before we are caught up in the literal translation at the rapture, so this catching up has two parts to it – so don’t put it all on the natural part, and don’t put it all on the spiritual part, both are important and a part of the process of the rapture)? It's done then. All of his accusing is done. See?
Now, as long... Look, as long as the Intercessor is still on the throne, Satan can stand there and accuse, because he is the attorney of the other side. He's the opponent of Christ. And Christ is... He's standing there... The--the--the opponent is standing there saying, "But wait, Adam fell. Adam done this. I conquered him. I got his wife to believe a lie, and You said she'd be damned by it. I got it."
But here's the Mediator standing there (Amen.), the Kinsman Redeemer (Amen.) standing there with the Blood that can take the vilest sinner's heart and change it. A Mediator is on the throne. Yes, sir.
Satan said, "But they are guilty."
Jesus said, "They're not."
This is like a court case where the court is debating the outcome of the case – But since 1963 when the judge himself came down, and at the same time the accuser is also cast down because our names have been called and verdict has been pronounced by the seventh angel messenger – so he has no power to accuse us anymore because the case is closed, it has already be judged and dismissed, and so Satan’s days of accusing as during the seven church ages is over for the bride of Christ, but then because he is a bluffer, he will still try to accuse you in the battle ground of your mind – so this is his very last hold, so this is where we are now to cast him out – cast the accuser out of our thinking.
THE.GREATEST.BATTLE.EVER.FOUGHT_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-0311
13-1 This great first battle that was ever fought begin in heaven when Michael and his Angels fought against Lucifer and his angels. It first started--the first battle was in heaven, so sin did not originate on earth; it originated in heaven. And then it was thrown down from heaven, cast out of heaven to the earth and fell on human beings. Then the battle from Angels become human battles. And Satan come to destroy God's creation. What God had created to be for Hisself, he had (Satan), come to destroy this. That's what his purpose was, was to destroy it.
Then the battle begin here on earth and begin in us, and it's been raging ever since.
13-2 Now, before any battle can be put in array, they first have to choose a meeting ground or a place where the battle is to be fought, a selected place. In the First World War it was so placed in no-man's-land and places where they fought, and there's got to be a place selected.
Like when Israel went to war with the Philistines, there was a--a--a hill on each side where they gathered. And that's where Goliath come out and called to the armies of Israel. That's where David met him in the valley, when he passed over the little creek that run between the two hills, he picked up the rocks. There has to be a place selected.
13-4 And in this, there's a--a mutual ground, "no-man's-land," and they fight here at this place. They just don't one fight over here, and one down here, and one right over here; there's a battle front where they meet and test their powers, where each army tests its strength against the other army--a mutual meeting place.
Now, don't get--miss this. When this great battle started on earth, there had to be a mutual meeting place; there had to be a place selected for the battle to begin, and for the battle to rage; and that battlegrounds begin in the human mind. There's where the battle starts. The human mind was chosen for the place of the battle, where it was to begin; and that is, because that decisions are made from the mind, the head.
So the mind is the last place where the devil gets cast out – and that is happening right now because of the revelation of the word.

Precious, virtuous, sinless Son of God standing with a pure, unadulterated Bride-Word that He washed by the Water of His Own Blood; that become flesh and manifested, that He might take you which were predestinated in the bosom of the Father, before the beginning, the same as He was. He was that great attribute of God, called "love."
