The Warfare and the Victory

Heaven has its 'heavens' and also has its 'Heaven' (Above) which is a realm in heaven; God dwells in this ‘Above’ in heaven. These territories in heaven and earth all have their inhabitants. (Jn. 3:31, Ps. 68:6)

Just as there are territories (strata) on the earth and they exist in heaven also. Though there was heaven already, the earth was given its heaven (firmament); this was done to define the dominions of the earth. (Gen. 1:1-8, 2 Chr. 6:18)

The laws of a territory are in their inhabitants. Creatures that are visible in a realm might be invisible in other realms as angels are invisible creatures because they cannot be seen without supernatural aid. (Col. 1:28)

Laws guide every territory because their laws are what give every creature its life and guide their service. Angels have laws that make them able to excel in strength and obey commandments. It is not in the nature of the angels to disobey the law that they live by. (Ez. 28:14-17, Lk. 1:18-20)

When a person breaks the laws of a territory, such a person no longer has the right to dwell there. Thus Lucifer was brought down because he tampered with the laws within him.  (Eze. 28:16, Isa. 14:14, 1 Sam. 15:22)

While Lucifer was cast down from heaven, he did not lose his right to all of the realms of the Everlasting which is why he still had access to Eden.

Hell is a territory, but hell was not originally among the creation of God. The life of hell is death which is separation from God and came in by reason of sin. Sin is a being that came into existence by the breaking of laws and by sin, death also came in. (Rom. 5:12-13)

Hell was not originally created by God but by the sin of a being. Lucifer knows that there are several levels of death; there is a death which is a separation that can be reconciled but there is a death which is a departure that cannot be reconciled. When Adam sinned, he did not die the death of hell but of sin. (Isa. 14:15)

Hell is not a punishment as we generally presume, rather, it is the law (life) that evolved from the laws Lucifer and his cohorts broke. Hell is the habitation of evil spirits because it is a life that came from them. All hellish creatures are Everlasting creatures because the laws in them are Everlasting death.

Every man has a measure of training in hell because of the promise of death. Christ came to save us from sin and death for the sake of the promise of moving into the land of the living for the hope of Eternal Life. (Heb. 9:27, Eph. 2:3)

As we make progress in life, we have exposures to make agreement with hell for survival which is the promise of a life. Every man has been taught how to live and die so we need Jesus to teach us how to live and never die. (Jn. 6:48-51)

This present age/world is being driven by wisdom; either a wisdom from the habitation of God or the depth of hell. (1 Cor. 2:4)

Egypt is a dominion of hell; Pharaoh was a hell-raised leader who could torment the people of God till their cry reached up to God. Even when God brought them out of Egypt, they always longed for the life of Egypt. (Num. 11:5)

There is a life in the land of promise that God sees as hope, and if those who leave Egypt can come there, God will come to them.

The devil does not have any sense of remorse, he does not give up because he is the head of death. Satan had depths of death in him that man can learn. (Job 1:7, Prov. 9:18)

Of all the beings of the Everlasting, it is only the living soul that can sin without receiving hell. God made man such that he did not know he could sin unto death, it took time for these spirits to teach man to sin unto death. (1 Jn. 5:17, Gen. 3:4)

There are chambers/territories in the depth of hell. The deeper a chamber is in hell, the more terrible the life in it. Most of the depth of hell has been reserved for engagement in these last days; the strength of hell is their wisdom.

There are ‘arms’ in the everlasting which are the instruments of expression of the dominion of the Everlasting God. (Deut. 33:27, Jer. 10:10, Is. 40:28)

The realms of heaven have their inhabitants and dominions under the Everlasting God. In the realm of the angels, there are rankings because not all angels are the same. Man is also a being of the Everlasting as a living soul but it is the lowest realm of the Everlasting. (Isa. 148:2, Ps. 103:21)

All the entities of the Everlasting are spirits because their creator is a spirit; anything that is below the living soul does not have what it takes to respond to God. God can descend to any realm of the everlasting and use them but it is not His habitation. (Ps. 104:4, Heb. 1:7)

God is in a realm of invisibility, a realm that cannot be measured with space and time. God exists even if the heavens and the earth pass away as He dwelled in Himself before creation but He stepped down into heaven for the sake of man.

God is greater than the heavens- which is just a temporary habitation and will be folded up - and the earth. Heaven is Everlasting because it was created, it is not Eternal. (Heb. 11:1, Deut. 33:27)

‘The same’ in Jn. 1:2 is Everlasting, yet it is part of the Eternal make-up of God that descended for creation’s sake; this is the least place that God can step down to create. The Everlasting God is the God of the everlasting realm and of creation. (Jn. 1:1-3)

There is an earthly Jerusalem which is just an expression of the heavenly Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem already exists and is in the custody of a being but is not yet revealed, it will be birthed and inhabited. (Rev. 21:2)

There are realms of creation like in Col. 1:16 that are for God’s use, but this does not include the natural habitations of the earth as those were made for man.

Every time God steps down to speak, the grade of words also reduces for creatures to be able to relate to His speakings. God who is Eternal can now be communicated to man because a man (Jesus) has ascended from the earth to the Above. (Heb. 1:1-3, Jn. 1:18)

The expression of the laws of creatures is found in their wisdom. Satan is powerful because of his wisdom; his ability to do a thing in one million ways. (Eph. 6:11)

For creation, the grave is an end because it is a keeper of whatever death kills, but Jesus had crowns which made it impossible for death to hold him down even though it wanted to. Hellish creatures are wise creatures; sin has a wisdom but hell has a higher wisdom than sin.

Satan so much trusts his wisdom which was why he kept ensuring that Jesus sinned up till the cross but the wisdom of the cross is higher than his wisdom. There is a death that all creatures have that separate them from the realm of God. (Ac. 2:24)

No man can journey in the Everlasting without warring spirits because it is a realm of wars. Wisdom is needed to conquer wars. (Ecc. 9:18)

The spirits that govern over the region of Africa appear to be crude spirits/demons; they pose as dumb idols which is why we are still subjected to the wisdom and civilisation of the western world. Yet, it is out of Africa that God chose to bring forth this Everlasting gospel. (1 Cor. 12:2)

The army of the Living God is being raised to deal with the dead nations that inhabit the dead and are in the promised land. (Jer. 6:22)

The primary job of an army in a nation is to protect the sovereignty and integrity of the territory. The territory of a nation is vital because it defines the people.

The land of the armies of the Living God is a land of the living, and their job is to protect this territory as God is the God of the living, not of the dead. (Joel 2:11)

A soul can be in the land of the living, yet be dead, but God cannot be the God of the dead, but the God of the living. It is a soul who dwells in the land that is living.

The assaults of certain nations/spirits are not in the land of sin, their assault arena is to ensure that men do not dwell and survive in the land of the living.  (Eze. 32:26, Jer. 10:10)

The people of Israel could fulfil the natural promise but not the spiritual promise. The nations the children of Israel fought in the wilderness are different from the ones they encountered in the promised land. These nations were in the heights. (Exo. 6:6-7)

The heathen nations are the expressions of the arms of Satan; no matter how good the economy seems, they are under his control. To stand as a tree of righteousness in politics, we cannot give allegiance to any party because Satan himself is a party leader. (Eze. 31:11-12)

It is only warriors that can dwell in the land of the living because it is a very turbulent land; we must war and become a warrior by reason of many battles. We are not called to the life of a civilian but of warriors.

Sin is lawlessness, it is the transgression of the law. When a law is broken, it is not discarded but when it is transgressed (broken over and over again), it becomes iniquity and is discarded. (Eze. 28:16)

There is a school of second death which takes man away from God without a way to return. When everlasting laws are broken, there is an agreement with another law. (Heb. 3:12)

When man fell by sinning, he was not wise because he hid himself but when the devil sinned, he did not hide. It is still a measure of safety to feel remorseful and hide when we do wrong. (Gen. 3:8)

The appointment of every man to die once is not to die at an old age but that every man was born from the womb with sin and death.

A blind man is a man that does not know that there are consequences for his actions. (Gal. 6:9)
