The first person nature of your sentences, for example, the "I" in "I am going to see God" which is the title of your thread.
Not a spirit the Bible I think it's White Throne judgement.
How do you get individually from together ?

Satan doesn't exist except as a dissociative personality connected to the dark part of the human nature.
We don't like taking responsibility for any dark impulses within us, nor being connected to them, so we separate ourselves from it and pretend that we're the helpless victims of an outside power.
We're very good at taking the "help me, I can't do anything!" role.
What religion has done is separate these two aspects and given them their own personas in order to make us think that there is something controlling us. If they can make us believe some outside force can control us, that leaves the window open for them to control us. It's all about control and money

Because Jesus Christ died not for my sin, but for me, a sinner.
And the thought of seeing him, disintegrates all fear of death.

So you have faith Jesus walked on water and died on the cross and was resurrected 3 days later because you experienced it? You must be ancient if that's the case.
As for insight:

You are not discerning the true nature of the bible, you are reading it literally.
You are not grasping an inward or hidden meaning in the bible, you are reading it literally.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
~ Philippians 2:5-11
