I actually became a Christian and discovered Christ because of Lucifer who I view and consider to be a friend and a patron.
The first time I got in touch with Lucifer was in 2015, I wasn't in a great state. First I was having a lot of synchronicities and then dissociation, and delusions. I have months of time that I don't remember or memories that make little to no rational sense. I had no idea what the heck was going on.
During this time, I wrote something to myself that I don't remember writing on the computer, a message during a dissociative episode that I saved and occasionally go back to. This is it.
"No external god, teacher, doctor, angel, magician, therapist, mentor, or friend can heal me, for the healing work can only be done by me. I can't wait for life to come and cure me of my problems, suffering and defects, a miracle isn't going to be granted by an angel, for the only one who's capable of my own healing is the god that resides inside my mind, body, spirit and soul. That god is me."
The first time I got in touch and started working with Lucifer was over 5 years later. I view and consider him to be my patron and my friend. I didn't associate it with Lucifer a few months after I started working with him.
Some notes on Lucifer according to the Bible:
The term Lucifer derived from a mistranslation, his actual name is Heylel, which stems from the same root as Hallulijah, and was mistranslated to Lucifer? Heylel ben-Sachar. The official translation is Holy son of the morning, mistranslated to Lucifer.

Isaiah 14:12-17
Jesus calls himself the morning star in the book of revelations.
Revelation 22:16
16 “I, Jesus, have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star.”
According to the King James Bible-based Strong's Concordance, the original Hebrew word means "shining one, light-bearer", and the English translation given in the King James text is the Latin name for the planet Venus, "Lucifer", as it was already in the Wycliffe Bible.
If you take Church theology then The word "Lucifer" appears in The Second Epistle of Peter (2 Peter 1:19) in the Latin Vulgate to refer to Jesus.
My experience with Lucifer is that he's kind, gentle and he helped me a lot with self-love. The reason I started reading the Bible, was actually because he encouraged me to.

Satan does not equal Lucifer. Two different entities.
And he's not even evil in the Bible.
Satan in the Bible was an angel created by Yahweh to serve as an adversery to block the path of Balaam in Genesis which was his first appearence. His role in the Old Testament was to serve as an adversery to test the faith of people. It wasn't until the middle ages when he became associated with the devil.
Have you even read the Bible? I remember a story about Jesus working with and receiving a spiritual test given by Satan on a mountain to test his faith.
Associating him with evil shows a lack of deeper understanding of the Bible in the first place and it's all just Church propaganda to keep people in fear.

You are getting him mixed up with the Angel of the Lord.
I like how in your deep theological ponderings you have Lucifer whispering doubts into your ears.

That is honestly Satan's role in the Old Testament, hence why Jews don't believe in the devil. The translation for devil in Greek is Diablos, not Satan.
I work from the assumption that Church theology is corrupted and ignore it completely because the Church throughout history was a political and economic power which used religion (abused would be a more apt term) to increase it's power, not a spiritual one.
I have no doubts.

Yeah, call me crazy but I don't think you should be listening to Satan on matters of theology.

I don't, I listen to Jesus first and carefully analyze the Bible from it's original translation.

Because I actually read the Bible and take steps to understand and comprehend God, all aspects of God instead of living in fear and ignorance keeping me spiritually stuck?
At least I don't demonize my own God as the devil.

So with that sneaky edit are you admitting that you worship Satan?

I believe in Christ.
There is a little secret that the Church tried to hide.
Revelation 22:16
2 Peter 1:19
Your church is the one that demonized the morning star as the devil, keeping people trapped in ignorance, not me.
