The game was over from day one of creation. When God spoke into the formless void of dark waters; He said, “Light Be.” He divided light from the darkness. Darkness no longer ruled.
Satan
The personality we know as the Serpent, Satan, the Devil, and the great red dragon made his first move by getting the first set of human beings known as Adam to eat from the forbidden tree.
His real goal was the tree of life. He needed fruit from that tree if his plans were going to succeed. The fruit from the tree of life would have given man the ability to live forever on earth, however, in a fallen state.
To rule on earth; you have to be a human being. God gave dominion over earth to human beings. Satan could do nothing without people. He needs a human being to carry out his agenda.
This is how he became the prince of this world, John 14:30; god of this world 🌎 2nd Corinthians 4:4; and the prince of the power of the air (he rules over and in cultures) according to Ephesians 2:2.
Like Satan told Jesus, “All this power was given to me” Luke 4:5-6. Did God give Satan that power? No, we give it to him on a daily basis by choosing darkness rather than the light.
As far as earth is concerned, God has limited himself to the same set of rules. He always works through people!
Leveling the Field
Adam was driven from the Garden of Eden. In Adam’s place, God placed Cherbims and a flaming sword. The purpose of the Cherbims was to maintain worship in the sanctuary until Jesus could take Adam’s place, see Hebrews 8:1-6; 9:11-12; and cleanse the original sin with his own blood.
The purpose of the flaming sword was to guard the way to the tree of life.
So Satan’s defeat and destiny were sealed up in the garden.
How could you win in any battles on earth when the one you are fighting against can level the battlefield?
God leveled the battlefield in Noah’s day with the flood. He wiped out all the things that had the breath of life in it. See Genesis 7:4 & 22.
When thinking about conditions on the earth in the days of Noah as compared to conditions on earth today, all of it is man made. Man is taking advantage of his/her neighbors to advance their agenda.
There were great men in Noah’s day just as there are great people our day: rich, powerful, wealthy people who control the industries of the earth.
Once Jesus came into Adam’s place, See Revelation 12:1-16, Satan was kicked out of heaven and knows his time is short, Revelation 12:12-17. He is aligning his forces for one last attempt at preventing his own end.
The battlefield of today
Just as the Serpent deceived Eve, he is working feverishly across the world. The sakes are super super high. He is working to control the hearts and minds of the people, and his hook is the love of money 💰 of which Mammon is a high-level ruling prince of darkness, Matthew 6:24. He works through it and by it. The love of money is the root to all evil, 1 Timothy 6:10.
Satan’s trophy 🏆 room is overflowing with souls… This is the day to learn how to work your God-given gift of dominion and life.
“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, WHO GIVETH US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY.” 1 Timothy 6:17
The Challenge!!!
Living by and through the original partnership! Which God has renewed…
Christ is to be rooted and grounded in our hearts so that we can SEE the enormous potential: People being made in the image and likeness of God- the original plan – Genesis 1:26-28.
Ephesians 3:17-19
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints WHAT is the breath, and length, and depth, and height; and to KNOW the love of Christ, WHICH passeth knowledge, THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS of GOD.”
Being filled with ALL the fullness of God is living a God honoring life without limitations. It can not be defined in human terms because it is beyond knowledge based on human terms. It comes through revelation. God opens the eyes of our heart so that we can see his glory 2nd Corinthians 4:3-7, we have this treasure in earthen vessels; also see Ephesians 1:15-23
It’s a personal relationship.
God so loved the world that whosoever believes passes from death to life.
Going back to Ephesians 3, look at verse 20-21
“Now unto him that is ABLE TO DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE all that we ask or think, according to the POWER THAT WORKETH IN US.”
The power that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think is working in us. When the doctors and lawyers give up on your case, know you have infinite power on the inside of you. Know that is the same power that raised Christ from the dead and set him at the right hand of God; is working in you!
Get this; work the system God has given you. The seed time harvest process is and wills always always always be God’s way of doing things even in the age of eternity, Revelation 22:2.
Yes, sometimes God gives miracles, but you and I were designed to be made in the image and likeness God.
Become an expert at working the system James 1:12 refers to the crown of life, the victor’s crown!
We have the “breath of God’s LIFE working in us now. Work the system day in and day. Find out what works and don’t work.
When the doctors say, “NO HOPE”, You can say, “I got Life working in me.” It’s personal. YOU always always always have a choice.
God is about to level the field again.
God is going to level the battlefield again. First, He is going to wipe out the alliance between Satan and man. He is going to zero out, destroy, judge, bring to double destruction the kingdom of darkness, See Revelation 18:8
But as in the days of Noah, there will be believers who walk up under the grace of God. This is the LORD’s harvest!
Grace & peace!
