Satan rages war in the Heavenlies!
There is a rival kingdom apposing the Unshakable Kingdom of God.
This opposing kingdom is of Satan and all humanity are under its control, until Yeshua – Jesus sets us free, but until then, Satan will exercise control of our lives through the following methods:
- The kingdom of Satan: The devil controls humans by force, fear and deception (John 10:10) and he came to steal, kill and destroy.
- The world system: The world system is being used to bring falseness to manipulate people (Ephesians 4:14)
- The kingdom of self: our fleshly fascinations for sex, lust and money est. Could be used against us by tempting and enticing us, drawing us away from God and making us slaves to our own desires and sin. (James 1:14)
Colossians 1:13-16:[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, In whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins. [Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation. For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
That Kingdom has many names, it’s called the Kingdom of darkness or Hell, Hades, Sheol or Gehenna, but all are the same place.
Hebrews 9:27: Everyone must die once, and after that be judged by God.
Everyone that was born into the seen world must die.
The word says everyone with out exceptions, and then judgement.
- The place called Hell or Hades.
We have all tried by our own ways to impress God but The word of God says that Jesus the Son of man can save us from sin and from death.
Sin makes us fall short.
It is time to repent and to come in right standing with God.
Ok!! You may reply! But how does one make this decision to become a citizen of this Unshakable Kingdom of God and escape Hell?
We have seen that God made man of the seen as well as the unseen worlds. So all mankind is born into the seen world with flesh as humans. Mankind came into this world through the birth channel of another human. Only mankind has the right to be born this way and have the authority to rule on earth.
As we have discussed humans must rule over the animals, birds and plants. The earth is his domain. When you are born you are part of a kingdom of this world; for example the kingdom of South African.
John 3:5-6: I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit.
So to be born into the unseen world you must undergo another birth.
That means that you must be born as an unseen being (spirit). Only unseen spirits are legally in the unseen world and so no flesh can go legally into the unseen world, but a spirit.
The human in the seen world can feel and see the world around him. He can work the land; eat the fruit of his work and so on. But he cannot feel or see the unseen (Spiritual) world or eats of its fruit.
To enjoy the unseen world and to be part of it, he must be born into it, the same with the seen. The Holy Spirit is the one that gives the re-birth by making mankind’s spirit alive.
As soon as man is re-born he becomes a new creation (spirit being). When you are reborn, God’s Spirit enters into you and gives your spirit life.
Then Jesus gives you authority to overcome Satan and his powers.
Luke 10:19: Look! I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to destroy all the (the entire) enemy's power, and nothing will ever hurt you.
John 9:31: We know that God does not listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing {and} a worshiper of Him and does His will, He (God) listens to him.
We are born into sin and that makes a gap between God and man.
To be reborn into the spiritual realm of God's Kingdom brings us to a place of peace with God and also brings back to us the authority given to us by God.
- Way to Salvation by three simple steps.
As soon as reach adolescence your life journey heads for hell, all man is born into sin and mankind’s nature is sinful. You can choose between life and death! - God is not finished with you, He has folded the Napkin!
Revelation from God that He is not finished with you and me, this is giving us Hope. The napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus , was not just thrown aside like the other linen cloths.
Take action!
We need to make this right by taking the way out that God has provide for us.
We need a saviour to do that. No sin (unclean human that is not washed by the blood of Yeshua - Jesus) can enter into God’s presence (or Heaven). Jesus is the only one that can do that by washing away all your sins with His blood.
The process can only begin when you repent.
Can and will Jesus forgive all my sins?
But I have committed unthinkable sins; you may answer.
Yes, Yeshua - Jesus will if you repent and if you ask Him, He will wash you clean as the snow, from all your sin, does not matter what you have sinned, He is capable to forgive. As mankind is running away from God when he sinned, we are suppose to run to God for healing and restoration.
If you never have made Yeshua - Jesus your saviour, your relationship with God the Father is broken; a gap that can only be mended, through Jesus’ work on the cross. God is talking to you!
Where your attention is focused, your energy will flow. Where is your attention focused, money, sex or lust for power? The things of this world, only brings death. If we focus our attention on God, our time and energy will be spent on Him and His Kingdom and not on sin.
Your altitude will determine your altitude.
God has a yearning and a longing for a closer relationship with us, His creation.
The love of God is unconditional. He loves us deeply. God cannot enter into this close relationship with us if there is still un-confessed sin in our lives.
Those who truly walk in the fear of the Lord will not intentionally commit sin, but will repent and turn away from their sins to be saved.
Satan is a liar and he wants to tell you and me that when we sin, God hates us; but God hates sin, not mankind. God loves you!
He is calling to your heart "Come home"
- True Repentance & Salvation.
Without repentance you are like a ship that is sinking fast! Your sin is dragging you under and you don’t even know it! Salvation come trough Jesus.
