One thing you need to know about Lucifer, is that he likes to be treated as an equal. I hear people all the time use the title "Lord Lucifer", I get the sense that he really hates it.
Lucifer is a spirit that doesn't want or need worship, when he works with someone, he wants you to work with him and view him as an equal. His whole thing on what he teaches is respect and love in yourself, trust in yourself, being able to be free, of body and thought. He's my teacher, my mentor and my friend. He doesn't want worship, he to work with people on an equal level.
His whole sin having been pride thing, and because he was proud then he's not able to be free of redemption is just so ludicrous to me after working and building a relationship with him because he wants you to view and treat you as an equal and come to realize that the God within yourself is the God that is most deserving of worship.
John 10:34
Higher spirituality and discovering the truth about the world, requires you to question. The God within ourselves desires and craves freedom, and there is no greater slavery than slavery of thought and mind. A religion or a God that doesn't let you question, explore or discover the truth about life, death, the universe, or yourself, is a religion that is keeping you in chains. It's been over 2000 years and do you know why there has never been another prophet?
Because to speak for God, you have to comprehend God, to realize God, you have to understand God, to comprehend God, you need to look outside your preconceived notions of what God is because God is infinite and can't be fit into some kind of categorization. God is beyond words, speech, language, you can use words and symbolism to try to portray some aspects or a part of God, but it's like the parable with the blind men touching the elephant. It's only a small part of the infinite.
God is love. God is light. God is pressure. God is being (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_that_I_Am#:~:text=%22I%20Am%20that%20I%20Am,I%20am%20the%20Existing%20One%22), God is consciousness. God is unconsciousness. God is one. God is many. God is me.
To find, explore and understand God is to look within and understand yourself.

I. Factors affecting the wrath of God
1. God has established a limit to the amount of sin He will tolerate before He comes in wrath.
God's Word makes reference to a cut off point, when God's patience and tolerance reaches its end. I Thessalonians 2:16 speaks of people who are always adding to the number of their sins, and wrath has overtaken them completely. Genesis 15:16 talks about why God's wrath is not yet revealed against the Amorites: "the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." Jesus scalded the hypocritical religious leaders of His day with these words, "Fill up, then, the measure of your father's sins!" (Matt. 23:32).
According to Scripture, God has established a legal limit to sin. We do not know exactly where that limit is, nor do we know how close we may be to crossing that limit. When the sin of a nation or a person reaches that limit, God's mercy gives way for wrath.
Understand that when God sets Himself against a person or a nation, His arsenal is vast. He has more devices for confronting us than we have ways of evading Him. His wrath is so great and our countermoves so utterly futile that no one can successfully escape once He is in pursuit. In Ps. 90:7-9, we read about life under the opposing hand of God. 7 For we are consumed by Your anger; we are terrified by Your wrath. 8 You have set our unjust ways before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence. 9 For all our days ebb away under Your wrath; we end our years like a sigh.
2. Only those who are right with God are prepared for a time of God's judgment.
Listen to the word God sent to Ezekiel: 13 "Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of bread, to send famine through it, and to wipe out [both] man and animal from it, 14 even [if] these three men-Noah, Daniel, and Job-were in it, they would deliver [only] themselves by their righteousness." [This is] the declaration of the Lord God. (14:13-14)
Oh, brother and sister hear me this morning: Do not be deceived into thinking that you can hold onto your sinful attitude or gossiping tongue or bitter unforgiveness and still try to claim the righteousness of Christ as your cover. Israel did something similar in the days of Jeremiah. They trusted in the fact that they were called God's people and had the temple of the Lord in their midst. (Jeremiah 7:8-11)
In Jeremiah's day, God brought His judgment on the nation at the hands of a Babylonian king in 586/7 BC. Centuries later, Jesus wept over Jerusalem, prophesying the destruction that would come at the hands of a Roman army in AD 70. And He brought the same accusation against God's people in His day: My house will be a house of prayer," but you have made it a "den of robbers."'"
Do you know when the people of God become a den of robbers? Claude King answers like this: "When they live lives of sin all week long and then come before the Lord and say, ‘We're safe. We're God's people.' They rob God of what He deserves by living and acting like the rest of the lost world all week long and them come to church on Sunday and say, ‘I'm okay. I'm going to heaven when I die. I prayed the prayer. I joined the church.'[1]
As God's people must confess and repent (turn away) from our sin, if we are to receive the cleansing Christ has provided through His own shed blood. Only through repentance can we stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ.
3. As God's people, we have a choice.
We can either see the pending danger and return to the Lord before He brings judgment, or we can wait until after the disasters to cry out for mercy and repent.
Throughout Scripture God prescribed Solemn Assemblies, what we're calling a Prayer Summit, as a key element in returning to the Lord. There were two approaches in Scripture to how a Solemn Assembly or Prayer Summit functioned. One function comes before the disaster and the other comes after the disaster.
