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.
