DISQUS

michael · 1 year ago

I don't know about that but I do know about demons.

I now know about Angels.

Angels will do the work they are sent to do and they will do it in the Name of the One sending them to do the work they are sent to do:::>

Heb 1:13 And to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

Something happened the day God Almighty tore from top to bottom the veil of the Temple:::>

Mat 27:51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
Mat 27:52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
Mat 27:53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Mat 27:54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"


What? What was done then when that veil was torn from top to bottom?

The work the Jews could not complete in bringing this Gospel of the Kingdom to every creature for a witness and then the end shall come "began". This work will end the world one day!

See those words from Matthew's account?

What happened? Tombs were opened and many bodies of the Saints rose from the ground!

And just as Jesus said!

But something more amazing was done that day! Do you see it?

Read it for yourself and rejoice with King David. It has been in King David's heart all this time even up to today and to the end of time. The Centurion now could see Jesus!

Mat 27:54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"


TRULY THIS WAS THE SON OF GOD!.

Here is how King David sang it:::>

1Ch 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"
1Ch 16:32 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it!
1Ch 16:33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.


No, TRULY TRULY THIS IS, THIS IS, THIS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE SON OF GOD, risen and now reigning in Heaven and on earth and throughout the air!!!

It's ok that this Centurion did not get his theology right! After all, he was having a God changing moment, let's cut him a little slack! He did just kill Jesus!

There are Three falls of the devil, Satan, Lucifer, the ring leader of the beast, the false prophet, Death, Hades and all whose names are not found written in the book of Life.

The "first" fall has happened already just as Jesus said:::>

Luk 10:18 And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Luk 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Luk 10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."


The "second" fall comes at the hands of the Church and will come just as quickly when the Church today rises up and reigns in the Authority of Jesus Christ:::>

Luk 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
Luk 11:18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
Luk 11:19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Luk 11:20 But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Luk 11:21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;
Luk 11:22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.
Luk 11:23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.


and::::>

Eph 3:8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Eph 3:9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things,
Eph 3:10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.
Eph 3:11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Eph 3:12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.


and finally, the "third" fall comes here after Satan and the demons are now cast down to the earth and live underground with the serpents and snakes and scorpions and all evil creatures and humans who come against His Glorious Bride, the Wife of the Lamb:::>

Rev 20:10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.


So, for the Faith 'full", not in their strength or might but in the Strength and Might of the Lord, who gives a rip if there is one or ten demons underground or under rocks?

It is high time for the Church that Christ washes daily in His Blood and Breath to rise up and reign in Life:::>

Rev 5:8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Rev 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,
Rev 5:10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

and:::>

Rom 5:17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.


amen?

Amen!

Would you say more about what is "very dark" about the city of Manitou Springs?

John Burton · 1 year ago

Manitou Springs has quite a reputation and a history of witchcraft and the occult. There are some wonderful people who live there, though some of them are very verbal in their assault against Christianity.

It's quite a spiritually suffocating place... very oppressive. The goal is to see that city develop into a center of extreme Holy Spirit activity, of revival, from border to border.

The Emrys · 1 year ago

From memory when I was there, there is quite a bit of New Age stuff going on there.

Thanks John for publishing this information. Many Christians in the West dont want to talk about demons or even demonic activity. I am taken to Mar 5:9 And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
This is a very simple question with a very simple answer that we may not be paying enough attention too. Its time that the Body of Christ step and and understand the power that toils against us every moment of every day.

PS. Sounds like Miles is my kind of guy....
PEACE
