Walking In Our Spirits With The Holy Spirit Part 2
Put On The Armor Of Light

In the previous blast, God gave a parable that helps us better understand the Kingdom of God as well as the dynasty of Satan. He likened His Kingdom to the letter A, and the kingdom of darkness to the letter B. B therefore represented this world that we live in, the realm we were all born into. Infrastructured by mankind's creativity, using Satan's wisdom, it has become the manifestation of his self-exalting dreams in fulfillment of his plans of supremacy. Those of us that truly love God and look forward to being a part of His Kingdom, will gladly circumcise themselves from B, but I warn you, breaking free will not be that easy.

Satan you see has many traps laid to defeat us, and in the seven thousand and twenty five years he has co-existed with man on this planet, he has become quite efficient at misleading us. What has brought him this success is really not due to his self-taught ability, but rather how he was created. As we studied in one of the former blasts, he was originally one of the morning stars that helped sing all things into being. Father spoke, and the morning stars sang it into existence. He was heaven's chief musician, created perfect, beautiful and powerful, and specifically designed to be the covering for planet earth and all its inhabitants. You see, God created man as a family to love Him, gave them earth as their home, and this awesome creature, known today as Satan, as their guardian. He was endowed with an anointing to draw them to him and enough knowledge to help them start a perfect society for themselves. He was also created with musical instruments actually built into him so he could lead mankind to not only praise and worship their God, but sing things into being like their Father. Remember, mankind was created in God's likeness. But, Satan as we know became prideful, challenged God for supremacy, making himself God's arch-enemy as well as ours! Now here we are today, trying to exit B, trying hard to see and avoid the snares of an enemy that has the anointing to draw us in the direction he wishes and fight our way back to A, back to the perfect Kingdom of God vacated by Adam and Eve! Not an easy task to leave the grip of a creature designed by God Himself to cover us!

The earth that was meant to be man's perfect home has become a virtual prison. Humanity, created in the beginning in the image of God, has been, through these thousands of years, molded and shaped by Satan's twisted knowledge. Traits and mindsets have been formed unfortunately after his likeness. It gets worse! When mankind fell, all that they had dominion over fell with them, and they too exhibit the nature of Satan! For instance, if we look at the diet Father gave Adam and Eve before the fall we will see all vegetables. In their disobedience man and animals became flesh eaters, carnivores. They became territorial as well, divisive, dangerous to one another!

Everything that was under the cherub's jurisdiction became out of sync with God and the rest of the universe and still is today. A is in sync, B is out of sync. Father God, knowing all things, knew that Satan would fall. He knew also the whole Adamic race would follow suit. He therefore devised a plan to bring creation back in line and to return all He had created back to its original perfection as well, of course with the exception of Satan and the angelic beings that followed him. I explain all this because to escape B it's imperative to see how really evil and out of sync B is. We must understand also, there will be an end to B and we certainly do not want to be a part of its destiny! We want to be tucked away in Yeshua, returned to our original place in the whole, solidly back in God's original plan for creation.

To begin our escape from Satan's world we must first understand that every thing in B, everything in his whole world, has that creature's anointing to draw us on it. Through this anointing we have actually become addicted to the things of his kingdom.

Also, please understand, there is no knowledge to be found in B that is not seen as foolishness by God's standards. No matter how sophisticated or well thought of the world's colleges are, everything they offer is imperfect, foolish, but you see it has Satan's anointing and is contagious. Think about it, the society and culture that has emerged from this knowledge is a far cry from perfection, yet we value our education and admire the intellect of man. There are many deep in debt today because of their hunger for the world's knowledge.

But thankfully Father has a plan. To give earth's children the opportunity to find their way back into A, back into His Kingdom, He sent a great light, His knowledge, His Word and His name is Yeshua. Those that turn their eyes to Him begin to get a glimpse of that narrow path that takes us from B to A. It's like a supernatural drawbridge if you would, that has been spiritually laid between B and A, that will, in God's timing, be drawn up and no longer accessible. The light of God is still shining for now however, and His knowledge is being released across the earth, washing out the filth, the lies and the false doctrines set in place by those that followed the cherub.

In Psalm 102:18 we see how Father has made sure we all have a chance. He is raising up people to pray and praise, to sing His truth, His knowledge across the earth in fulfillment of Ezekiel 37:9.

Therefore the message of God can be heard on the wind for those with their sights on A. Prophetic prayer and praise is going forth to tear down Satan's world and pray and sing into being a new heaven and a new earth. The creative ability of God's prayer warriors and His singing prophets are at this moment busy establishing A, David's tabernacle, God's Kingdom, and focused on restoring to man their rightful possession of the planet.

To help us in our efforts to make the change from this world to God's Kingdom, I would like to expose some of the traps that the enemy has put in our lives to keep us from returning to the Father and out of A.

Let us begin with a deeper understanding of the anointing that is on this cherub. As stated before, it's on everything in B and it draws us to it. The lure may be designer clothes, fancy cars, big homes. It may draw us to drugs or alcohol, cigarettes. This anointing is on absolutely everything in B! Lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, pride of life are the perverted forces the cherub has loosed into his kingdom, and that strong drawing anointing is on all of it as well!

The Word of God gives us this advice,

And God also warns us not to be attached to those that love the world. They are steeped in that wrong anointing and it will transfer itself to us if we will let it!

Again, the world's people have that evil anointing on them that will draw you to not only them but their lifestyle. Remember, their perspectives and outlook on life has been shaped by Satan's knowledge. Before we know it we will begin to think like them, act like them and we eventually begin to walk like them! The Kingdom of God will begin to fade further and further from our minds and hearts.

So if this is so and we want to make it to A, let us take a good look at some of the world's other tactics set in place by Satan to snare us. To begin with, one that is a huge problem in almost all settings is division. Satan is well aware that there is no success for us without unity. So we looked up its meaning in the Strongs Concordance. We do not want to be fooled. I'd like to share them with you because these definitions are sneaky snares found in everyday life, and I'm sure we can all see ourselves here.

To begin with, division means twice or two, and that's exactly what Satan means to do, divide, since he knows we are all supposed to be a part of the universe, gathered into Christ as one in the end, a part of the whole.

God is busy trying to teach His children to see the heavens and earth as one realm, He's making His house united and whole once again. God wants His people to be as one, form a body so He can function through them to guide, direct, protect, bring healing and restoration to all that come to Him.

Another definition means, partition thoroughly, cloven, divide. Satan means to keep us divided in every way he can because he knows what will happen to his dreams of supremacy if we are restored to the whole. It is a fact, as long as he can keep us separated, he wins!

He therefore stirs up the next definition, disunion of opinion and conduct. This one can be seen many times even in families. Part of them may be worldly and their opinion based on Satan's knowledge, while the opinion of those that are walking with God, meditating on the Word will be completely different and clash, causing division. A real puppet of Satan in these arguments is someone that can be on either side that thinks they know it all. What can be done in these matters? The Godly should just go quiet. In the first place those not walking with God didn't get their opinion from the Bible, or from God's knowledge, so why argue? Their opinion is about as valuable as what we throw in the dumpster, we know their opinion is based on Satan's perverted mind. Titus explains.

Other forms of division are disunion, dissension, division, sedition. Let us look at sedition. Sedition means coming against government. For instance in Satan's world, here in the United States, it's coming against President Trump. In A, in God's Kingdom, it's coming against leadership, especially those He's placed in office. So now let us look at our personal relationship with leadership. God has called them to office. If they accept that call then God is operating through their gifting, so who are you really coming against if you refuse direction from that one? Sedition is a coming against any God-placed authority in any form, and this spirit plays a big role in the body of Satan, the Antichrist! See how easy it is to be caught up in the devil's nature? He came against God Himself! Whose likeness are we in?

Another definition is a popular uprising, uproar, anarchy, insurrection, which is another word for sedition, which again is an uprising against government. We are of course again speaking concerning God and being at odds with His government. The thing we really want to understand however, all division makes us, along with all we were to have dominion over, out of sync with God and no part of the whole or His original plan for earth and its creation.

Another serious form of division is backbiting, which is unfortunately found in the daily life of all cultures. Here is what Apostle Paul had to say about it.

We can see how true this is as we continue looking at the other definitions in this category. Devour. Devour literally or figuratively. It goes to eat one another up, you spiritually devour one another till there's nothing left! As we look closely at these things, we begin to see where they had their start. From the very beginning, when Satan said to Eve, “did God really tell you?” And then he said, “God didn't want you to taste of the fruit of evil because you would be like Him.” Can you see he was accusing God of lying. He was backbiting God Almighty there! And because he fed that fruit to Eve that sin of backbiting was implanted in her and has been passed on to all her descendants! That trait can unfortunately be seen in us today.

This leads to another trait of Satan that we see quite frequently, the fruit of the accuser of the brethren. Certainly not a God trait, who sent His Son to die in our place for our sin. When we allow these traits to operate through us, we regress to nothing more than puppets of Satan, ones set against the house of God to divide it!

As we look at all of these definitions we will see that they all bring a darkness, for lack of a better description, like a black tent over the people that are guilty of these traits. We see the accuser of the brethren everywhere, children bringing accusations against their parents, people falsely accusing their leadership, those in B accusing the people in A. So let's take a good look at this resulting darkness. It is a supernatural covering, the wrong covering obviously. These traits actually pull Satan's evil covering over us. It's a covert covering, a secret covering, a hiding place. Can we see the nature of Satan in these definitions and how they are used? To hide, by covering. How many things have we tried to hide, that we covered up, not seeing the spiritual dark tent that was covertly slipped over us? Be absent, keep close, conceal, hide self, keep secret. These are all definitions that will keep us from becoming a part of the whole if kept as a part of our nature, and that will keep us out of A, out of sync and forever under that black covering of Satan. It is just so dark there, and a perfect hiding place for other spirits to hide forming strongholds that can attack you at will. As others join them it becomes a virtual spiritual motel for the evil ones to hide.

For an understanding of the tactics of these evil spirits, let us look at this scenario. You have a praise night. One of the leadership has an argument with their wife, and doesn't have time to straighten things up before he leaves for praise. Now they have a black tent over their household. Spirits of infirmity or any other spirit for that matter can get in. Also, this dark covering goes with him to praise! He could say, well I prayed and covered my family before I left, but there's already a covering there, a big black one along with a spiritual law that keeps the prayer unanswered. God says if we have aughts with our brother, or in this case wife, until the dispute is settled, his prayers are not even heard! His family was therefore uncovered! Do you see how sly, sneaky and damaging this is. Now Satan has a perfect hiding place in his family and he was not even aware of it! Plus, remember, a part of this darkness went to praise. How many other spirits found a home under that tent? Nobody had a clue it was even there! Again, can we see the covert sneakiness of the enemy? God's people need to wake up and see these things! Through lack of God's knowledge we're defeating ourselves!

God says to be as sly as serpents, meek as doves. Meek as doves we've always understood, but sly as serpents we haven't always. We have to be so aware of the enemy's sneakiness. In Genesis God said that he was the most subtle or sly creature of all creatures. One of the definitions of sly is to be observant, to be totally aware, miss nothing or he will take advantage of every little thing that we do wrong. He blows it up out of proportion to make it legal for him to attack, bringing in the black tent. That's why he's called a serpent, he misses no mistake we make. That covering itself says it all, a hiding place. We therefore, like serpents, need to be totally aware, observant, miss nothing the enemy is up to.

The best remedy I know to overcome these traits and rip that black covering off of us is to let God's light shine not only on what is good, but on every situation, good and evil. If we find ourselves being used by the enemy, don't play his games. He will tell you to hide it, keep it close to the vest so to speak. God on the other hand says, confess it, let the light shine on it and He will be faithful to forgive us and restore our righteousness. Scripture says the light of God dispels darkness. Corinthians tells us that we are God's land, we are God's house, living stones the house is made of. If we are going to be a part of the whole, if we're going to be used as a part of God's house, then we have to be clean, transparent, a stone His light can shine through unblemished. There must be no darkness in us, on us or over us that would block His light. In fact, God is light, and if we are going to be restored to His likeness, we must be children of light. Now here is the exciting part, we will be fueled by the eighth day oil. It's a holy compound that can back off, overcome the anointing of the angel of light! We of course need to refill our database, our minds, our hearts with God's knowledge as well, as it too is light and has an anointing on it that will overcome the evil anointing of the knowledge of Satan. In fact it is the only thing that will overcome the anointing that is over all of this world, all of B. And I pray that God's people will totally circumcise themselves from the cherub's evil music. All of the universe, all creation has a song and his music is no longer a part of it! When I say we need to listen only to God's music, I'm not talking about the world's so-called Christian music either, I'm not talking about church hymns, I'm talking about God's prophetic music and the free praise that spontaneously bursts forth from the hearts and the minds of those that are totally in A, totally in God's Kingdom. The anointing that is on this music breaks the yoke, breaks the burden of Satan's anointing that has been on God's people to draw them to him. Since the garden God's people have been sabotaged through music. This is why God's Kingdom praisers are His ultimate end time weapon against His arch-enemy. The anointing on this music also draws, but it draws us together into the whole, into the company of the rest of the in sync universe, into Yeshua!

So in closing, those that are still in B, or those that are partially in A, but still have interests in B, I encourage you to feast on God's end time knowledge, listen to His music so the truth can set you free of the traits and mindsets that will keep you back. I encourage us all to be transparent, let the light of God shine on the residue left in us and on us from that cunning, sly, clever and covert cherub and let the anointing that is on God's knowledge and music draw us across the bridge to A. I am pretty sure we all want to fully be protected and safe, tucked away in His Kingdom, before God says enough is enough and the bridge between is forever removed.
