How Satan goes into God’s presence

Most Christians cannot believe when they are told that the Devil can go into God’s heavenly presence. This is the first reaction of most believers when I present this message to different churches. Eventually they believe this message because it is backed by powerful Scriptures from the Bible. This article shows you  how Satan goes into God’s presence.

I couldn’t believe that Satan goes before God.

Before I got this supernatural vision I could not imagine, even for a single second, that the Devil can go into God’s heavenly presence. “How can evil go near holiness?” I kept on asking myself. It was during this divine visitation that the Lord convinced me with specific Scriptures in His true Word – The Bible, that this can happen.

Why Satan needs God.

Before we go any further, let us ask ourselves: why would the Devil always want to go into God’s heavenly presence? The answer is simple. Satan needs God because without His permission he cannot tempt any Christian. The Word of God says in  Mathew 10:29  that:

Are not two little sparrows sold for a ^[a]copper coin?  And yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

 

In order to get God’s permission, the Devil goes into His presence day and night  carrying accusations against Christians.

How Satan gets into God’s heavenly presence.

First, many Christians forget that Satan is not a human being like you and me. Satan is an angel. Even though he was stopped serving God, he still carries many abilities of God’s angels. These gifts and capabilities were given to Satan by God when the  devil was still a loyal angel. They will be taken away in the End Time when Satan will be denied any more access to our heavenly Father (Read Revelation 12:10 to confirm this.) .

God’s angels commute all the time between heaven and earth.

Second, God always gives His angels assignments in the heavens and Earth. For example, God always sends His angels to answer peoples prayers. Other angels are sent on special assignments –  like the angel that was sent to Zechariah.  The angel informed Zechariah in Luke 1:19 that:

 

I am Gabriel; I stand and minister in the [very] presence of God,

and I have been sent [by Him] to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

 

After accomplishing God’s assignments, God’s angels go back into His heavenly presence to report their accomplishments and wait for new assignments. It is at this time, when God’s angels are presenting themselves before God that Satan joins them to present himself also before our heavenly Father in heaven.

This truth is backed by two powerful Scriptures.

The first Scripture the Lord gave me in this vision was Job 1:6. 

Now there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the ^[a]Lord,  and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them.

 

In this Scripture two things happened:

1. God’s heavenly angels were reporting back to God.

2. Satan joined the holy angels as they presented themselves before God.

You may think Satan went into God’s presence only once. No; Satan continually goes into God’s heavenly presence as confirmed by another Scripture, Job 2:1:

 

Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord,

and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord.

 

In Job 2:1 three things happened:

1. Again God’s holy angels were reporting back to God. This shows that God’s heavenly angels keep on reporting back to God.

2. Satan was repeating what he had done in Job 1:6. He joined God’s angels as they were reporting back to God.  This confirms that Satan day and night goes into God’s heavenly presence as indicated in Revelation 12:10.

3. This time the Bible makes it very clear why Satan had gone with the holy angels: To present himself before God in heaven.
