"I Will" Isaiah 14:12-16

This passage partially describes the fall of Lucifer. It was all rooted in "I will." Satan was deceived by pride and fell by asserting his own desires and will. In the end he will be cast into the lake of fire for eternal destruction. Jesus teaches us the opposite. In the garden before going to the cross He prayed asking His Father if there was another way but always, "not my will yours." Three times he prayed a prayer of surrender. So, its easy for us to discern when we are being influenced by Satan and when we are living under the power of the Spirit simply by our attitude. If it is all about "I will," it's Satan. If our heart is, "not my will yours" then the Spirit of Christ. Satan's self assertion always leads to destruction and surrender to His indwelling presence always leads to our ultimate good.
