Below are some simple instructions on how to use this template:
1. You can change the text in the graphical screen above or in the outline area to the left. 2. There is one default background that is indicated by “ ” .This slide acts as a space or a blank screen, use to clear or blank the screen. If you have a large graphic such as a map you could also use this screen. If you insert a new slide you will get this default background.
3. The first five slides have the other backgrounds for the set. To use more than one of these background types in your presentation highlight the one you wish to use and choose copy from the edit menu. Paste this slide where you want it to appear in your presentation, then change the text on this new slide. By copy/pasting the slide in this manor you will keep the background, text formatting and the customized animation from that slide. By using the copy/paste method you find it saves you time and keeps a consistent look through out your presentation.
4.There are a few additional notes written in the slide text wording that may be helpful.
Note: We are working on a website that in the future will provide help topics on using sermon outlines in PowerPoint as well as provide sermon templates similar to this one. Check for more information.

2. John 15:18-21 Obstructions to Divine Good Production

3. Reason #1: Verse 18, Satan’s Cosmic System hates the believer! Part 4

4. Principles of the KOSMOS:

5. 6. The strategy of Satan mentioned in 2 Cor 2:11 is found in many areas of scripture.

6. 2 Cor 2:11, “So that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.”

7. 7. The believer is commanded to not fall prey to Satan’s Cosmic strategy in 1 John 2:15-17.

8. a. Satan’s strategy is to negatively influence the lust pattern of man’s Old Sin Nature in three prime areas; appetite, beauty and ambitious pride.

9. 1) Appetite is the lustful sin pattern linked to the arrogance complex of sins that creates a thought of; “I want, I need or I deserve”. [wanting, craving, desire]

10. 2) Beauty is the lustful sin pattern linked with the arrogance complex of sins that perceives something as highly desirable and creates a thought of, “I must have”.

11. 3) Ambitious Pride is the lustful sin pattern linked to the arrogance complex of sins that creates a sinful thought that leads to sinful action.

12. It is inordinate pursuit of life, wealth, possessions, etc
It is inordinate pursuit of life, wealth, possessions, etc. that culminates with arrogant boasting, the “look at me”, or “look at what I have” syndrome.

13. b. This has been Satan’s strategy to lead man away from God, since the Garden of Eden, Gen 3:6.

14. 8. This strategy also has to do with the attack upon the Divine Institutions as illustrated in the Garden of Eden and the antediluvian civilization where Satan attacked them all.

15. a. He has a strategy with regard to national entities, to distort them from a protective system, (Divine Institution #4, nationalism) into something that he can use to further his gain (one world system).

16. b. When a national entity starts to get into things such as socialism, government regulation of industry, government controls where human volition is involved, it destroys human freedom.

17. c. Satan’s objective with regard to nations is to distort the true purpose of Divine Institution #4, (Provide and Protect freedom).

18. 9. Satan is anti-Divine Institution even as he is anti-Christ and is constantly exercising his hate toward God.

19. 10. The unbeliever involved in anti-establishment is described in Rom 1:28-32.

20. 11. The believer involved in anti-establishment is described in 2 Tim 3:2-7.

21. Mandates for Defensive Action against the Power of Satan.

22. Eph 4:27, “Do not give the devil an opportunity (TOPOS - place).”

23. Eph 6:13, “Pick up and put on the full armor from God that you may always be able to hold your ground in the evil day.”

24. James 4:7, “Hold your ground against the devil and he will flee from you.”

25. 1 Peter 5:8-9, “Attain spiritual self-esteem, be alert, your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for some believer to devour; therefore, hold your ground against him standing firm in faith (Bible doctrine).”

26. 1 John 4:4, “Greater is He who is in you (God the Holy Spirit) than he who is in the world (Satan and his cosmic system).”

27. Communion
