Eph 6:10-12 Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places;
This world has been in spiritual warfare, from the days of Adam and Eve, to the present day. God from the beginning already had everything planned. God's main enemy, Lucifer, has wanted to take God's place from the beginning.
Isa 14:12-14 How you are fallen from the heavens, O shining star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart, I will go up to the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will go up above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
For me, the most incredible thing about this story is that Lucifer really believes that he can win the war against God, so in the end he is not as smart as he seems, but rather an idiot, because he, better than anyone You should know the immensity and infinity of the attributes of God, His Wisdom, His Power, etc., because those have no parallel.
Well, from the Garden of Eden, Yahweh prophesied: Gen 3:14-15 Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
The woman is the Church = the Ecclesia (The Children of God, not a religious organization). And the "He will hurt you" is Jesus.
Rev 12:1-5 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth. Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
In that Revelation passage, we see part of the fulfillment of the previous passage in Genesis 3: 14-15. The woman in question is the Church, the living Temple of God, the Israel of God, made up of both Jews and Gentiles, who have been transformed into New Creatures by Faith in Christ Jesus, and the Son who gave birth to the woman is Jesus, who will rule all the nations with a rod of iron.
Eph 2:17-22 (Jesus) He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Gal 6:15-16 For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
In these passages we see that both the Old and New Testament Saints united in Christ will be The New Jerusalem, THE ISRAEL OF GOD.
Then we see that Satan already knew from the Garden of Eden that the Seed of the Woman would be the enemy of his seed, that is, the children of the Devil. So ever since Man ceded to Satan the authority that God had given him over creation, and man found himself outside the Garden, Satan has been fighting to destroy the seed of the woman (God’s Children), through his seed.
And we see throughout the history of the Old Testament to this day, an incessant war between the two foundations.
Satan has always wanted to take the place of God and be worshiped as if he were God, and we see that in the Old Testament the first thing Yahweh made sure is that his Sons knew without a doubt that worshiping anything other than Himself would have serious consequences.
Exo 20:2-5 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,
That is the First Commandment of the Law that God gave to Moses.
And throughout the history of the People of God, the sin that always brought the ruin of Israel was bowing before other gods.
So God sent his Son into the world, Jesus, some two thousand years ago. And once here in the world, Satan tried to make Jesus worship him as God in exchange for power...Luk 4:5-7 The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want. If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”
Since Satan realized that he could not demoralize Jesus, he finally chose to kill him. And I think that the day when Jesus was being crucified, Satan, the fallen angels, the demons, and the children of the devil had a tremendous party, hahaha, we eliminated Him.
But they most surely got the scared of their life time when the saw the results of their crime, because if they had known what they were doing, they would never have killed Jesus.
And here we see the Master Move of God, because it seemed that Satan thought he had ruined God's plan.
So it says ...1Co 2:7-8 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, which none of the rulers of this world has known. FOR HAD THEY KNOWN IT, THEY WOULDN’T HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY.
Heb 2:14-15 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT BRING TO NOTHING HIM WHO HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE DEVIL, and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Col 2:9-15 For in Him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily, and in Him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power; in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and HE HAS TAKEN IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO THE CROSS; HAVING STRIPPED THE PRINCIPALITIES AND THE POWERS, HE MADE A SHOW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT.
Hallelujah!!! We see that right there on the Cross Jesus triumphed over all his enemies. When Scripture speaks of principalities and powers, it is referring to spiritual beings and entities.
And to complete the move, Jesus, after his death on the Cross, went and also witnessed to the spirits that were in prison in Hades and besides also brought with Him to Heaven the Sons of God who were waiting for the redemption of sins of humanity in Paradise. Lc 16:23, Lc 23:43
1Pe 3:18-20a Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which HE ALSO WENT AND PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON, who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah,
Efe4:8-10 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people”. Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
Rom 11:33-36 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?” For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
Acts 4:26-28 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’ “For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were GATHERED TOGETHER TO DO WHATEVER YOUR HAND AND YOUR COUNCIL FOREORDAINED TO HAPPEN.
Okay… Now goes THE MOST IMPORTANT PART FOR US the Sons of God that are still here in this world.
The Master Move of God, is not only to have redeemed us from sin, but to make each Believer a copy of the VERY SAME JESUS, now there is not just one Jesus in the world but we are thousands of Him and we will be millions, to the extent that Christians wake up to this truth. And this is a truth that the devil has managed to hide through religion, and we, the Children of God, have walked around with our heads down for centuries believing that due to our sinful nature we do not deserve the favor of God, that we are not worthy, that we are not good enough, that if we don't take care of ourselves we go to hell and many more lies. And here I share the Word of God that says what I have just said, but in his own Words.
Jn 14:11-14 Do you not believe that I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IN ME? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak of Myself, but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works. Truly, truly, I say to you, HE WHO BELIEVES ON ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO HE SHALL DO ALSO, AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE HE SHALL DO, because I go to My Father. And whatever you may ask in My name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Well, but the Father was in Jesus, but what about… me?
Jn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves Me, he will keep My Word. And MY FATHER WILL LOVE HIM, AND WE WILL COME TO HIM AND MAKE OUR ABODE WITH HIM.
If you have kept His Word HE IS IN YOU!
Jn 15:7-8 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you. In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.
In other words, if we are full of the Word of God ... What can we ask for? EVERYTHING YOU WANT, AND IT WILL BE DONE TO YOU! God is not glorified if we are mediocre Christians, only when WE BEAR A LOT OF FRUIT. Please say AMEN!
Efe 2:10 For WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
Do you think that if we are “his workmanship”, God would make mediocre Christians, incapable of overcoming sin and walking around like losers? What would everyone say about God? No, everything God does is done well! Otherwise, how would a mediocre work glorify Him?
Col 1:9-14 For this cause we also, since the day we heard, DO NOT CEASE TO PRAY FOR YOU, and to DESIRE THAT YOU MIGHT BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL IN ALL WISDOM AND SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING, that you might walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every work and increasing in the knowledge of God, being EMPOWERED WITH ALL POWER, ACCORDING TO THE MIGHT OF HIS GLORY, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness, giving thanks to the Father, who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son; IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE REMISSION OF SINS.
If Paul asked that we be filled with the knowledge of the Will of God IN ALL WISDOM AND SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING, it is because that is what God wants & can do. In other words, not walking around the world like some mediocre folks ignorant of the Will of God. Filled with: How Much Power? STRENGTHENED WITH ALL POWER, ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF HIS GLORY. Is that not CLEAR ENOUGH?
And don’t forget… THE REMISSION OF SINS. Your sins have been redeemed.
2Pe 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, according AS HIS DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN TO US ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue, through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises,
Let's see ... How many things has his Divine Power given us? ALL THINGS, EVERYTHING!
What do the promises that God has given us do? They make us PARTICIPANTS OF THE DIVINE NATURE. In other words, the very same nature of God is in us.
Mat 17:20 And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, IF YOU HAVE FAITH LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here to there. And it shall move. And NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU.
If you had enough faith to ask Jesus to become Lord of your life, that Faith is bigger than a mustard seed. NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU.
But why don't you open your Bibles for yourselves and with the help of the Holy Spirit see what God says about us? Do an exercise and look in your concordance words like “in Him”, “with Him”, “power”, etc.
Before the imminent rising of the New World Order, I am sure this is the moment & the hour for the Children of God to wake up from sleep & pick up the challenge of BELIEVING GOD! Mat 25:7Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Heb 4:2 For also we have had the gospel preached, as well as them. But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Isa 6:8 I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”
And you… What do you say? Let’s wake up & believe what God says about us!
Blessings… Alejandro
