Secrets from the Garden of Eden

What is it?

Man’s system started the day Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That was the day Adam diverted from the original vision of Genesis 1:27-28. Adam’s generations are summed up in Genesis chapter 5:3. “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.”

Adam lived 930 years and he died. He birthed offspring in his image and likeness. Seth generations birth created a revival among men in that they began to call on the name of the LORD.

In Genesis chapter 6, God judges Adam’s generations. They had corrupted themselves upon the earth. There was a group of people called the sons of God who had become great and mighty in the earth. They took as many wives as they chose. They probably build dynasties that compete with other dynasties. The Bible says these men were men of renown. Every thought of the imagination of the heart was only to do evil. This is the beginning of man’s system.

Let us make a name for ourselves

Noah and his family, eight souls were the only ones to survive the flood. God basically gave Noah and his sons the same set of instructions he gave to Adam. God commanded Noah and his sons to multiply and filled the earth. God blessed Noah and his sons. He made a covenant with them. They prospered and grew. They were of one common language and speech. There was tremendous level of unity and agreement. God said, ”The people are one and nothing shall be impossible for them which they imagine to do.’

God said, “… Let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another speech.” I think it is important to point out the statements of partnership. The people said, let us! God said, the people are one and have one speech and nothing shall be restrained that they imagine to do. God said, Let us go! God always works out of partnership

Noah’s sons departed from the vision by deciding to build a city and make a name for ourselves.

“And they said, Go to, let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4 (KJV)

Let us make a name is the beginning of much sorrows. All things were are and were created for God’s pleasure. God confused their language and scattered Noah’s descendants across the earth.

The people became separated into communities. In Abraham’s day, these groups or nations banded together and fought wars, see Genesis chapter 14!

Egypt became a mighty nation. God called Abraham to separate from his family. God made a covenant with Abraham to give him a seed and land. We know Abraham’s seed by the name of Isaac. Isaac begat Jacob. God changed his name to Israel. Israel begat twelve sons which became the twelve tribes of Israel.

There was coming a severe seven year famine upon the earth. God sent Jospeh to Egypt to make provision for the children of Israel.

God warned Pharaoh of Egypt in advance through a series of dreams. Nobody could interpret these dreams but Joseph. Joseph not only interpret these dreams but he also understood what should be done. Pharaoh promoted Jospeh to the highest office in the land. Joseph became a mighty prince in Egypt. Pharaoh of Egypt was only more powerful than Joseph when he was seated on the throne.

Jospeh started building storage cities to store grain during years of abundance. During years of famine, Joseph opened the grain solos. All nations came to Egypt to buy corn. When Joseph gathered up the monies in Egypt, the people offered their livestock and their land. Finally the people sold themselves to Pharaoh to be his slaves.

Jacob and his family ended up going to Egypt to survive a severe seven year famine that would grip the earth.

Israel and his family went to Egypt. They were treated as royalty. They were given the best land.

As the years advanced, there was Pharaoh who knew nothing of Jospeh. Children ofIsrael grew in large numbers. Pharaoh saw this explosive growth as threat to Egypt’s sovereignty. Pharaoh feared that Israel might side with their enemies against them. Pharaoh came up with a plan to limit the growth of their numbers by having the male babies cast into the Nile River. He eventually he made the Israelites slaves.

The system that Jospeh set into place during seven years of severe famine is no working against them. Jospeh’ system is still functioning in our day. How do know this, the religious system of Jospeh day was not taxed or sold. In day, the Church system of our day is tax exempt and according to Genesis 47:22, the fields of the priest were exempt from being sold. The priests were provided for by Pharaoh’s government.

Jospeh’s System

Jospeh’s system gathered all the wealth and land into the hands of one person, pharaoh of Egypt. His system also made all the people of Egypt Pharaoh’s personal slaves. Joseph didn’t have to use weapons to make people slaves. Starvation was the motivating factor that forced people to sale themselves into slavery. This system becomes the foundation upon which all future man based government is formed.

“And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end.” Genesis 47:21

The people of Egypt surrendered their herds and farm lands, their only means of production. Jospeh moved them to cities. They probably switched over to a market economy. In the United States, 3% of farmers provide enough food for people of this country. There are special interest groups who are buying up all the farm land and rental properties. People will own nothing and depend upon the government for everything.

“Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.” Genesis 47:23-25 (KJV)

The Promised Land

God never leaves himself or his people without provision or representation. God called a man by the name of Abraham and made a covenant with him. God gave him and his wife Sarah a seed in their old age. The name of the seed was Issac. God made a covenant with Isaac and gave him a seed by the name of Jacob. God made a covenant with Jacob and changed his name to Israel. God called a man by the name of Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt into a Promised Land that flowed with milk and honey. God makes a covenant with Israel and he gives them an inheritance.

The promised land is a typed and shadow of the garden of Eden. It flows with milk and honey. It is fed by the fountains of living waters, Jeremiah 2:13; 17:13.

God set up a system whereby everyone is given an inheritance, a plot of land. It was called the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey. God set up a partnership. He gave them a system of partnership and worship. This system of partnership/worship is based upon the original system of partnership/worship that existed in the garden of Eden.

The crowning glory of the Promised Land was that the eyes of God are always upon it from the beginning of the year even unto the end of it. God would give the land rain in its due seasons and plentiful harvests. He would send grass to their cattle. He promised to bless all the works of their hands. All the nations would witness the glory of God.

“In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Judges 21:25

In those days, there was total freedom. The land was governed by judges. The people came to judges to settle their differences. There was no king until the people demanded a king. In demanding a king, they rejected God that he should not rule over them. The people wanted a man to go before them and to fight their battles. God told the people what kind of king would rule over them. See 1 Samuel 8:10-18. The king would take, take and take.

“Nevertheless, the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.” 1 Samuel 8:19-21

The first king of Israel, Saul was a weak king. He was driven by the opinions of the people. The second king, David, was a courageous king. In his hands, God establishes Israel as a nation. It was during David’s administration, that provisions for the first temple would be gathered. When Solomon ascended to the throne, he successfully build the first temple.

But Solomon, in the course of his administration, effectively stripped the Israelites of their inheritance through heavy taxation to finance his extravagant lifestyle. Solomon’s son, Jeroboam reigned over Israel after Solomon’s death. The people came to Jeroboam and said,

“Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee,” 1 Kings 12:4 (KJV)

Jeroboam said,

“… My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.” I Kings 12:14 (KJV)

In Romans 12:1-3, God tells us be not conformed to this world but be transformed by renewing our minds on the word of God so that we can prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. I remember where this scripture became clear to me. I was outside of a computer store and I was thinking about buying something on credit. God revealed to me, in that moment, that I was willing to come into bondage of debt to that corporation. I literally felt myself coming under their control. I was willing to sell myself and bind my future to a corporation for a momentary benefit. I was conforming to the world’s system.

1 Corinthians 7:23, “Ye were bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.”

We have also obtained an inheritance, being delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son, Colossians 1:12-13

The world’s first global system

God gave a world ruler by the name of Nebuchadnezzar a dream. He had a dream which he couldn’t remember. He called the wise, astrologers, magicians, and soothsayers to reveal the dream and its interpretation. No one was able to reveal the dream or its interpretation so Nebuchadnezzar gave an order that they should all be killed. Daniel convinced king Nebuchadnezzar to delay this order. Daniel promised that God would reveal the dream and its interpretation.

Nebuchadnezzar, in his dreams, saw a great image. The image was of a man of excellence, bright and glorious. The image head was made of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass. His legs of iron and his feet of iron and clay. There was a rock cut out without hands that hit the image upon its feet. The gold, silver, brass, iron and clay were broken into pieces and driven away by the wind. The stone became a great mountain that filled the earth.

Daniel explains to Nebuchadnezzar the image represented the kingdoms of men. Man’s system. Daniel said Nebuchadnezzar was the head of gold being a king of kings. Each succeeding kingdom would be inferior to the precious kingdom. The kingdom would be destroyed by a stone that becomes a mountain and fills the earth. The final system that takes the place of the system of man will be the government of Jesus Christ. After Jesus puts down all rule, he will deliver the kingdom to God and become subject to him.

After Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar, he decided to make a golden image of himself and commanded everyone, when they hear music of any kind to bow down and worship the image. Nebuchadnezzar’s plan succeeded until Daniel’s companions; Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow.

Nebuchadnezzar commanded that they should be cast into a furnace heated seven times hotter. The request was urgent and the pressure to bow was probably unbearable, yet they refused to bow to the golden image. They were clothed in extra clothing. He wanted to inflict the maximum amount of pin as possible. The soldiers who cast them into the fire lost their lives in the process. However, God saved the three Hebrew boys alive from the fire and Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged the Lordship of the God of Israel.

God rule in the affairs of men

God gave Nebuchadnezzar a second dream. It was not a good dream. God warned him of his pride and arrogance. The message of the dream was that the living might know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men. He gives it to whomsoever he wills.

“This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men,” Daniel 4:17 (KJV)

Daniel counseled Nebuchadnezzar to break off his sin by doing righteousness and by showing mercy to the poor. Twelve months after Nebuchadnezzar had the dream, he walked in the palace of Babylon and said,

“The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty.” Daniel 4:30

While the words were still in his mouth, a voice from heaven said, ‘The kingdom is departed from you.’ Nebuchadnezzar was driven from men and dwelled among the beast. He was given the heart of a beast, he crawled like an animal until that period of his judgment was finished. The Bible says, when his understanding returned he look up and blessed the most High.

Jesus was constantly confront by the system of man

Matthew 21:23-27; Who gave you this authority?

Parable of the householder, Matthew 21:33-46. The stone which the builders reject is become head of the corner. The kingdom is taken from you and given to another who will bring forth the fruit of the kingdom.

God remains true and faithful to his original vision even though man persist in his own ways.

Distinct Characteristic of man’s system

A distinct characteristic of man’s system is, it starts out with a noble idea but ultimately it makes slaves of people. The American Revolution of 1776; one of the grievance that ultimately lead to war was a tax on tea. Today, everything is taxed and doubled taxed. There are taxes and fees on everything. People have become slaves of governments. The Antichrist System will start out the same way. The world will praise him for his ability to make peace and then he will make everyone receive a mark to be able to buy or sell.

One last illustration

One last illustration, I am writing this only because we are in this period of time where the debt of the United States is 34 trillion dollars and we have reach the place where the interest on this debt has reached a trillion dollars every 100 days. We are also living in a time where a generational mindset has been trained to borrow money as a means of financing their lifestyle. American student loan debt is 1.77 trillion dollars. The total credit card debt is 1.13 trillion dollars.

We are living in a time where the generational mindset has been trained to borrow money! Many people are mortgaging their homes to finance their lifestyle becoming slaves of man’s banking system. Israel started out free, having received a land flowing with milk and honey, a prototype of the garden of Eden and ended up in debt to man’s system.

Other men have our lands and our vineyards

Nehemiah 5:1-5

“And there was a great cry of wives against their brethren the Jews. For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and our vineyards.“

Nehemiah 5:1-5

Solomon said something very profound which I want to quote, He said, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV)

There is nothing new under the sun. That which has been done shall be done. Human history repeats itself. We are in a cycle that is going to take us into the global system of the anti-christ. There are ten kings who will surrender their power to the beast, the anti-christ. As these kings surrender the sovereignty of their nations to the anti-christ, people see it as a blessing.

“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 18:17 (KJV)

God always make a way out for us

Go back to God’s original plan, partnership! The seventh day of creation was ordained of God, set aside, sanctified to be a creation day of partaking the bountiful blessings of God. The original system is called the kingdom of God. It is a kingdom system that cannot be moved or shaken by sudden events! The system that God put into place on day one of creation is called the kingdom of God. It is also this system that will take us into eternity.

“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Hebrews 12:28 (KJV)

Grace & peace!

Darkness

“And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did est, and gave also unto her husband with her; and did eat.”

Genesis 3:6

The moment they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, their were opened, and they knew that they were naked.  At that moment, Satan came into their souls and took over!

Satan came into Judas’ heart.

“And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him.”

John 13:2 (KJV)

In the same chapter, a few verses down, John 13:26, Jesus knew who was going to betray him. Jesus had been praying for Judas. He knew Judas was stealing money out of the ministry’s fund. Once Judas reached a certain point, Jesus released him.

How do we know this? Jesus’ disciples wanted to know who was going to betray him.

“Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.”

When did Satan enter Judas? When Judas started stealing. Judas was offered 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus. But what Judas didn’t know was that he was going to be used by Satan to kill Jesus. Once Judas realized the error of his betray, he was filled with regret and committed suicide.

Judas gave the money back. He confessed to his wrong. They told him to deal with his guilt. Judas threw the thirty pieces of silver back at the council. The council recognized that the 30 pieces of silver were blood money. They refused to put it back into the general fund. They took the blood money and bought a cemetery to bury strangers.

Ananias and Sapphira

Satan came into Ananias and Sapphira souls to convince them to secretly keep back part of the price they got from selling land. The amount of their offering was always based on free choice, but secretly, they hatched a plan to make like they were giving the whole price of the land to the work of God. The apostle Peter said

“…Ananias why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.” Acts 5:3-4

Satan evidently had a place in their minds and hearts because they discussed this among themselves and agreed to it. Satan was able to use them to hinder a move of God.

In two previous examples, Satan gained access to people who listened to him. He gets into people’s minds, and from there sow seeds into their hearts.

Eve knew the truth about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because she quoted to the serpent. The serpent lied to her. Once the serpent got into her head, it was a matter of time before acting on his lie.

Eve saw the tree that it was good for food. It was pleasant to the eyes, and good to make one wise, and she took it and ate it.

The lie was first spoken to her mind and conceived in her heart. She acted on what began as another vision, a new reality, and they opened the realm of the knowledge of good and evil.

Adam and Eve lost everything. Their son Cain murdered his brother Abel. Their descendants all died at the great flood of Noah’s day. Their one act of disobedience opened a flood gate of darkness that reverberate down to the generations of our time.

The process

The process is always the same. According to Genesis 6:5-6

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thought of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”

The moment Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the sacrifice, their eyes were opened, and they knew they were naked.

They ran from God and hid in the garden among the trees. When God called for Adam, Adam said, “I was afraid because I am naked” 😨 😱

Fear was the first sign that Satan had gained control of Adam’ soul. He was full of fear.

Adam blamed God and his wife for his failure. Adam said, “The woman you gave me, she gave me the fruit, and I did eat.”

Facts about darkness

Darkness creeps, invades, and slowly takes over. Satan wants you to take your eyes off of God. He tries to fill us with his agenda, plans, and vision. Remember, God’s vision is singular, and everything else is di-vision.

The weapons of our warfare

You might know someone dealing with dark issues. According to the apostle Paul, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, the weapons of our warfare are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. He said, casting down imaginations and every high thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ!

Keep going back to the original vision of Genesis 1:26-27. Refocus, renew, get back up, repent. God never has to change his plans. His ways are perfect!

In my last post, I talked about how the atmosphere changed after Adam sinned in the garden. The atmosphere changed again in the days of Noah after the flood. Every thought of the imagination of the heart and mind was only to do wickedness (Genesis 6:5-8)

In the days of Adam and Eve, their atmosphere was radically changed from being radiated with the light of God’s glory to one of darkness, where Satan was the ruler.

“In the process of time”, Satan started started and with Cain managed to murder his brother Abel; and a generation of evil was birthed that impacted every part of society to point that “every thought and imagination the heart and mind was evil continually”

Ephesians 2:1-5 (KJV)

“AND YOU hath he qickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the Spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.”

The prince of the power of the air is another title describing Satan’s influence over regions, territories, and nations.

He is the ruler who influences culture. He blankets entire cities and nations with darkness. He works through people to spread the virus called darkness. Darkness has a life of its own.

The apostle Paul wrote the New Testament book of Ephesians out his experiences ministering to the city of Ephesus in Acts 19.

Ephesus was a city wholly given to the worship of the goddess Diana. They had craftsmen who made shrines for the worship of Diana. They had a thriving book business that taught people how to practice the curious arts.

Once the apostle Paul went to Ephesus to preach the gospel, a revival broke out, and many people were delivered out of darkness.

In Isaiah 25:7, it is prophesied about the day when God will destroy the covering cast over nations.

“And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.” Isaiah 25:7 (KJV)

There is presently a cloud of darkness covering covering nations and blinding people to the truth. This spirit of darkness works its way into people’s hearts and minds.

Let back to the beginning; Adam’s transformation from light to darkness

Adam’s environment was full of the abundant blessings of God. They walked in the light of God’s glory. The light of God’s glory flowed to the inside of Adam and Eve to outside, blessing everything within their environment. The radiate glory of God flowed out them, clothing them in glorious light.

All of their physical senses (eyes, ears, smell, feeling, and taste) received the fullness of God. Their faces reflected the glory of God. They knew one another by their voices. The glory radiated out of them.

After Adam’s trespassed the boundaries of their dominion by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, their eyes were opened to their environment. They knew that they were naked. They hid themselves. Their faith was turned from confidence to fear!

God said to them,’Who told you that you were naked?’

Death began working in them and in their atmosphere. Satan is working in their environment, getting into their hearts and mind, and twisted them into streams of darkness.

But we have been restored to a blessed relationship with God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (KJV)

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9

My personal experience

Back in 2001, I remember having a dream about this dark cloud that covered this community. All the people in this region were dark covered people. Dark colored people in the sense that the darkness of the atmosphere and the culture turned people into dark colored figures. In this dream, I saw a man who was dressed in priestly garments of light, called this person out of darkness, and began ministering to him.

I was the dark colored person I saw in the dream. I was dealing with a lack of resources. Things were hard and difficult. The economic situations of those days had gotten into my heart and mind just as they did with the rest of the people.

You can be saved and suffer from a lack of knowledge. I was saved but had a highly developed lifestyle of living in credit debt. But once I found out God’s will that he was my source and that he would deliver me from debt of all kinds, I sought his will with a passion. God delivered me from debt. I am debt free!

Satan has always used a lack of resources to force people into debt or into compromising situations as a means of controlling them. He sows seed of hopelessness and despair to force people into his service.

But God called us out of darkness into his marvelous light! God provides seed! God has always provided seed, but we didn’t know what to do with it or how to sow it.

Go back to Genesis chapters 1-3. God’s original vision. He illustrated what means to be like God, created in the image of God. When God wanted something, he called for it! He spoke words!

Grace & peace!

People say there is no God. But the Bible tells us that there is a god among us, and we can see the evidence of his works everywhere and all in all places.

Jesus said, ‘The prince of this world cometh and he has nothing in me. In other words, there was nothing in Jesus that Satan could use against him.’ John 14:30

Satan has a well organized system with willing participants, passionate followers, and martyrs.

Luke 11:14-26

Jesus explains the system of darkness, this way:  He said, “If Satan be divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand.”

There is “no division” within Satan’s government.

Di-vision is of satanic origin, and he uses it on humans to advance his agenda, See Genesis 3:1-5; Ezekiel 27:15-19; John 8:44 & Revelation 12:4

The apostle Paul identifies Satan as the god of this world in 2 Corinthians 4:4, as the one who blinds the minds; in other words, Satan perverts our concept of God.

The apostle John said,

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels, and prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:7-9

There was no place found for Satan in heaven

Adam’s sin affected things in heaven and on earth. Once the sacrifice was restored and put in place, God could legally kick Satan out of heaven down to the earth.

This is extremely important and not be played with:

God gave us weapons of warfare. The apostle Paul said, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds (2 Corinthians 10:4)

Revelation 12:10-11

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

Those who overcome Satan will value the Blood of Jesus above their own lives!

You must have confidence in the power of the blood of Jesus! This confidence only comes out of a life devoted to applying the Blood of Jesus against the onslaught of Satan and his demons.

You have confidence in the power of the blood because you applied it in battle and have won the victory!

Satan is coming with great anger

“… Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12b

Satan is defeated

The Seed of the Woman, first prophesy by God in Genesis 3:15, to crush the head of the Serpent is fulfilled in Revelation chapter 12. Satan is soundly defeated, kicked out of heaven. Jesus is seated on the throne as man’s representative.

Notice Revelation 12:13 Satan tries to destroy the woman who gave birth to the man child. Satan failed in his attacks. But according to Revelation 12:17, the dragon went to make war against the remnant  seed of the woman, against those who kept the commands of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Satan doesn’t want anything to do with the blood of Jesus! He knows it is the blood of the covenant promises of God that was shed for our sins.

Satan knows that God values the Blood of the Lamb! He knows what is behind the Blood of Jesus!

So get in the habit of pleading the blood of Jesus’ day in and day out. Plead the blood of Jesus over everything involving you and your family.

The Backing of Jesus

The throne of God is behind Jesus; God hath highly exalt Jesus and given him a name above every name that at the sound of the name of Jesus every knee shall bow of things in heaven on earth and under the earth and that every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the father, Philippians 2:9-11

Jesus is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, Hebrews 8:1; Revelation 3:21

Jesus’ conquest

Revelation 5:1-14 declares,

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? AND NO MAN in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

Jesus proved his worthiness through conquest. Jesus defeated every attack of the enemy and secured our salvation!

Creation acknowledges the Lordship of Jesus

According to Revelation 5:11-13, all creation acknowledges that Jesus is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!

100 million plus angels proclaim his worthiness,

“And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb  for ever and ever.”

Once the final harvest comes in and God’s judgments are concluded on earth; God is going to send one angel to wrap Satan up and throw him into a bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1)

Plead the Blood of Jesus!

Grace & peace!
