The Final Conflict
The elimination of the seat of satan

January 13, 2011

This has been a bit more difficult to bring forth, because we are dealing with a finality upon something that has had a great deal of leverage within our lives.

This “something” is literally the seat of satan within each of us.  Perhaps we have not recognized it as being so.  Perhaps we have lived in a bit of denial; perhaps not.  You would best know that truth.

I have never been concerned about the coming “Anti-Christ”.  The one so readily spoken of in the book of Revelation.  At least, what we think has been spoken of.  The “666”, the Anti-Christ, the Whore, the Beast.  All of it. 

My concern has not been for the external Anti-Christ, but rather the Anti-Christ that has sat upon my own heart.  That which has had its operation and control through my soul-flesh nature.  That which has been at odds with God every step of the way. 

This has been my concern.

When Paul spoke that “flesh and blood” will not inherit the kingdom, he was not merely talking about "flesh and blood".  He was talking about the soul-flesh adamic nature.  He was talking about this body as well, but the real problem was the un-regenerated soul/flesh nature; for the soul-flesh nature will not inherit the kingdom.

1Co 15:49  Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.

 

1Co 15:50  Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Paul had to deal with this quite a bit in the early church, and he had to keep his bearings on what would be best for the church, and those who yet walked after the “flesh”.

1Co 5:5  I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Paul struggled with these things, for as Christ, he was tempted.  He saw the dichotomy of the soul within him that fought against the spirit.  This must have been exceptionally difficult for Paul, for as you know, Paul heavily persecuted the Christians.  How he must have pondered on this, for he saw the deep inner conflict as the spirit of burning and the cross continued to work within his own life.

For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.  I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? – Roman 7:19-24

I have seen how the satanic powers can easily come and go through individuals, and I am not speaking of demon possession. I am speaking of God's own people, within the household of "faith".  I have seen how the Nephilim satanic order have moved through people.  One minute there, the next moment gone without a trace.  What Peter experienced was devastating.  He reproved the Lord and the Lord rebuked satan - the satanic manifestation that came through Peter’s yet “undead” soul-flesh nature.  That is devastating and would be to anyone.

Satan moves as an angel or minister of light.  He is the most religious spirit, for he is the source of the religious spirit in the earth.  That can be very sobering when you realize how deeply entwined churches are with the religious conditioning and spirit.  How do you tell someone, “you are of your father, the devil”.  I am not mincing words; you do not need that.  It is the truth.  The religious spirit has only 1 father, and that is not God.  That is satan.  But these are beloved Christians.  Maybe, maybe not.  But until the soul-flesh adamic nature is gone; you have a huge potential for the satanic entities in the earth to have free course.

You may look at someone and see the calling of God.  You may see the “Christ” within them, but until the seat of satan is taken down (the un-regenerated soul); there remains a tremendous potential for the satanic manifestation to come through – against you and against the kingdom.  Here again, I do not want to address someone else, I am addressing each one of us.  There is no finger to point; but at our own heart.  And with the realization that we must see a conclusion to something that terminates the ability for satan to hinder and delay the manifestation of the kingdom.  And delay has been one of his biggest tactics.

Where is the seat of satan?  As we have said;  it is the un-regenerated soul/flesh nature.  I am not talking about our bodies, but I am speaking of the fleshly/soulish nature that yet resides within all of God’s people.

We are pressing into a time of great change.  But do not be deceived, it will not come about without which your soul/flesh nature is obliterated.  The promise from the Lord is that He will sanctify you;  spirit, soul/flesh nature, and body.  Your soul will make a transition; but not the soul that we have known.  Only the regenerated soul on the other side of the completion of His deep work within you.

We have been in the time of the accelerated work of Malachi within our lives, however this is not meant to be a perpetual way of life that is meant to go on and on, though…..

Mal 3:1  "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts.

 

Mal 3:2  "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.

 

Mal 3:3  "He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will

purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they

may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness.

There is an “end-goal” in mind.  We may have dragged our feet.  We may have “fed” the flesh just enough to keep it alive.  But no more.  Mene-Mene-Tekel Upharsin.  The soul has been measured and found lacking.  The decree has gone forth.  Finish this.  Complete this elimination.  The seat of satan is to be no more within the heart of God’s sons.

This process will probably continue for quite some time as the Spirit moves or broods over all of His people.  But I am speaking of a first wave of sonship; those in whom this work is to be completed now.  A complete dethroning of the soul/flesh nature that has withstood His kingdom; that has attempted to delay and hinder the manifestation of sonship within your life. 

If you do not think this applies to you, then you are not on the same boat.  This is not the luxury liner, but it is the only boat that will take you through into sonship.

Christ understood where the “seat of satan” dwelled, and as the scriptures point out, “He gave Himself to no man, for He knew what was in man”.  As well, Christ hit that point where the ruler of this present age came and found nothing in Him.

John 14:30  "I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

What are we facing over this next period of time, and I believe it is a short period of time.  We are facing a complete change of our existence.  An existence without the seat of satan within our lives any longer.  An existence I cannot even say.  Freedom.  Release.  Transformation.  All of this and a lot more.

To move more effectively in the realm of judgment, which we do face at this time;  it must be done without the Achilles heel of the soul remaining.

Years ago the word came, “You do not hate the soul enough”.  I tolerated or gave excuse to the soul.  There was not the God hatred for this defiling soul/flesh nature.  We must hate the soul/flesh nature that is yet un-regenerated before Him.  We cannot tolerate it.  We cannot pat it on the back and say, “It’s ok”.  It must be ripped away from us. 

Step outside of yourself for a minute.  What do you see?  You see the Christ, the anointed… but there is yet the taint of the flesh nature, not quite gone.  And it is time.

The whole reason for this type of word is because we are at the time of its completion.  This is not a word out of season.  This is not a wishful word, hoping maybe this will happen some day.  This is a word identifying where we are, and the river that we must pass through. 

I want to see the seat of satan fully eliminated.  If you look deep within you, there is nothing but Christ.  There is nothing else.

God must complete this.  As much as I know that the God outside of me is not moving as He has in the past; I believe between the God outside and the God inside, that this will be done.  By His grace.  As it is written in the book of Zechariah;…..with shouts of grace, grace will the topstone be put on the building.  I may have paraphrased this scripture; but it speaks of the time when the building is completed, yet the finishing touches of putting the capstone on top will only be by Grace! Grace! (Zechariah 4:7)

We will not say, “See what I accomplished!”  “I did this”.  No, He did this.  We allowed Him, we gave Him full access to us.  No walls, no reservations, but still He Did This.  In a moment, in a twinkling of a minute.  Or as the Lord told me some 6 months ago, “In the Zing of a minute’.  Why He chose to use Zing, I do not know.  But I am up for it.  Lord, do it in a zing.

Up until now we have been like a shotgun.  The coverage and focus has been a bit broad.  But the closer we come to sonship, the more focused we are becoming.  As such the differentiation between soul and spirit is becoming more and more blatant.  We are speaking of the end of the soul, yet in the same breath; the regeneration of the soul.

1Th 5:23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am going to throw something at you.  Don’t get distracted with this, but take it before the Lord.  Ponder on this.  Meditate on this.  Because there is something we are still not seeing yet.

but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

 

For by one offering He has perfected - for all time - those who are (literal: being) sanctified.  - Heb 10:12-14

We are in the process of completion – yet, my spirit testifies to the fact that it has already been done.  We are just walking out a reality that was completed eons ago.  It has been done.  It has been charted.  You are complete.  It is finished.  It was finished. 

Mystically - our reality was completed so very long ago, yet somehow we are in this final process of manifestation.  I cannot fully explain it.  It is done, yet it is being done.

Does this apply to all of God’s people?  No.  Only His sons who have been called – and sent – at this time.

It could be one crazy paradigm shift.  Something is deeply afoot, and our perception is still coming “online”.

We just let go.  Once again, we let go.  Visualize it.  Let go.  Cut the moorings to this life.  Open all the doors within your inner house or temple.  Give Him total access to everything you are.  Your entire essence.  Demand this.  It was done. 

I can’t tell you how often it has come to me in the spirit that we are walking out a destiny that we have already done.  It’s hard to understand this, because we live in a world defined by time and space, yet the world of spirit is not defined or limited by time or space.  We are walking out a reality that we have already done.  I can’t say already “lived”, I don’t know that.  But I can’t shrug the constant prodding of the spirit, that we are walking out a destiny and reality that has already been done.

It’s a strange walk with God.  A strange life we live, as a people.  We are going through the motions in many ways, yet we are still at odds with a soul-flesh nature until it has been fully removed, extracted, eradicated, burned up.  All of the above.

I know this is where we are.  And I know the vision will continue to open up with greater understanding as we link arms with the Lord to see this completed.  NOW.
