  • End of Our Dig

    End of Our Dig

    Still without my coop cuz several people had to be involved in repairing the recall. I praise God they all agree and are getting the job done. It has been great cuz it gave me reason to break out the motorcycle as a mode of travel. I love the breeze when riding! I know rambling, right?

    Yesterday I penned how I hunger and thirst for the Lord. I had been feeling this way for a good minute. This morning, I woke up 3 times within the hour, each time I laid my head back to sleep such a peaceful and warm feeling went through me. The third time I “heard” that was the presence of God you experienced. Wow!

    Anyway, let us wrap this mini “series” up. The last group we wrestle with the spiritual wickedness in high places. Although the popular belief is that Paul is talking about demons or fallen angels, I beg to differ. According to Peter, “God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment:…” He does not say some of the fallen angels are loosed on the earth to cause havoc, they are all chained; thus are not in high places.

    Place is defined in the dictionary as “identify or classify as being of a specified type or as holding a specified position in a sequence or hierarchy.” The hierarchy we see pertaining to the spiritual directly is the clergy hierarchy of the church. In Jesus’ day the spiritual wickedness was evident in the religious leaders–the Pharisees and Sadducees along with the scribes who conspired to have Jesus condemned to death. Today we suffer the same misfortune of having religious leaders in prominent positions (places) who are more interested in their being famous, fleecing Gods people for material gain while feeding them a false gospel. And like the Sadducees and Pharisees doing whatever it takes to keep their positions. These religious leaders are named among fornicators, adulterers, sextual abusers of young children –females as well as males, whoremongers, homosexuals, liars, thieves and all other ungodly behavior that you can think of –spiritual wickedness in high places. We as the sons of God must dethrone these who have willingly submitted themselves to be the enemy of the cross from these high places. You may argue that this last group is flesh and blood, but you have to realize we fight against the spirit they now walk in. They now walk in darkness and disobedience.

    These none flesh and blood are whom we wrestle against day and night. Prayer vigils, prayer chains, and individual prayers are the way we fight the fight of faith. Now you see the enemy clearly and you are armed.

    Problem: relying on men instead of the most Holy God.

    Solution: read the Word of God for yourselves, search the scriptures for yourself to see if what you hear from “experts” matches what the bible says.

  • Let’s Dig In 3

    Let’s Dig In 3

    Oooooooh, I got a nugget! I always wondered why God was good with Able’s offering but not Cain’s. Surely just because Cain brought grain and Able blood sacrifice was not the reason one was good and the other not. I John 3:12 says of Cain, “Because his works were evil….” My thinking is that Cain was always evil thus his capability of killing his own flesh and blood. I know rambling again….

    We fight against principalities (established territories-Let’s Dig In 2), and against powers…… Again, let us look at the definition of the word powers so we are all on the same page. The definition of power is the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or influence the course of events.

    The principalities have a ruler that then has influencers– those that are able to direct courses of events within the territory; those that have the ability to influence behaviors of others.

    An example of what I am understanding here is that over my city sits a principality. The principality monitors all that occurs in the city, especially the houses of worship. The ruler and influencers know each person in our territory, our strengths, our weakness, our relationships even our assignments on this earth.

    Doesn’t this remind you of the sci-fi movies/cartoons showing a dual world that parallels this world with some individuals able to teleport or use a portal to go in and out of both worlds. The one example we all know about is satan’s travels. He presents himself with the sons of God before God in heaven (spiritual realm); we see satan appearing to Jesus for the temptations in the wilderness (here on earth).

    Don’t mistake these beings for demons. Satan did not cloth himself in a human body to approach Christ. Satan is not a demon, he is a created being that was kicked out of heaven with the “body” that he ran around in.

    Examples of demons: the account where the seven sons of Sceva (chief of the priests) called those men they knew were exorcists with evil spirits in them and said, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth”. “And the evil spirit answered, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?” Demons possess people and are under the rule of the principalities and powers; they are generally on assignment here on earth, they do not reside in the territory with the principalities.

    Problem: we think this is just someone’s imagination put into theatre, not thinking where they got the ideas.

    Solution: read the bible asking the Holy Spirit to reveal unknown things that the heavenly father said were ours to know.
