It says, “They came together to present themselves.” That’s a key. This group has come and they submitted themselves because He beckoned them to come together. They had to say, “Here we are, Lord.”  It says that the Accuser, Satan, came with them, and he’s not in the membership. Because all the members didn’t get listed, he came along. Interesting…

And the Lord spoke to the only one that was no longer a member. “Where have you come from?” the Lord asked Satan. Satan answered the Lord and said, “I’ve been patrolling the earth watching everything that’s going on.” I believe Satan had to be watching CNN. If you travel like I do, you know that it’s the only thing you ever see at the airport.

Lucifer answered the Lord and said he’d been patrolling. Now, we know that he goes about looking to see whom he may devour. So, he’s patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on. But, it doesn’t say that he was interfering with it. I’ve been preaching on Thursday nights about shaking and how it doesn’t always have to be based on an end time thing or something the devil does. I’ve proved in scripture that, a lot of times, God is doing the shaking. So, in this story, Satan is going around patrolling the earth and he’s watching everything. There’s a lot that goes on that we blame him for and he has nothing to do with it.

Now, I’m setting the stage for what I want to say to you today. Look at Zachariah 3:1, “Then the angel showed me Joshua, the High Priest, standing before the angel of the Lord. The Accuser, Satan, was there at the angel’s right hand making accusations against Joshua.” So, here he goes again with his accusations.

We get messed up, a lot of times, because we don’t know the scriptures.  Satan is more interested in what the council of God does than what you do. Christians, today, have almost tried to make it a badge of honor to be able to say that the devil was after them. He doesn’t even care about you! You’re not that important! You need to understand that if you get your life right, and your prayer life right, he can’t fool with you. He has to go pick on somebody else!
