Conquering Power

God=s spiritual dominion is the most astonishing power in the

universe. God has always worked through humans to

accomplish bring His kingdom to the earth. We must take

heaven by force. Just as God gave the people of Israel the

promise then told them to take it by force.

ASo will they fear the name of the Lord from the west andEast. His glory from the rising of the sun; when the enemy

comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift a standard

against Him,@ (Isa. 59:1).

SPIRITUAL KEYS

The Apostle Paul gave the Church the apocalyptic

knowledge of the powers and principalities in Eph. 6. He

disclosed that the church was in spiritual warfare gave us

the keys to spiritual warfare by using our spiritual

weapons. Jesus Christ also told us in (Matt. 11:12), AThekingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent

take it by force.@ We must break through the powers of darkness with military force against thekingdom of darkness.

The Church of Jesus Christ has to be the difference in every community. Jesus = Saints are His

instruments on this earth because He is sitting at the right hand of God waiting and willing to give the

power to win every spiritual battle. He gave the Church spiritual armor and weapons. Our weapons

are prayer, using His name, His blood, His Word and His power. The Apostle Paul shows this

transference of Jesus= power to usward who believe in (Eph. 1:19-22). AAnd what is the exceedinggreatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which

he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him at His own right hand in theheavenly places. Far above all principality and power and might, and dominion, and every that is

named not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his

feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.@ The problem is, some Saints neverunderstand their position in Jesus Christ.@

The Bible says, AMy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejectedknowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the

law of thy God, I will also forget thy children,@ (Hos. 4-6).

It=s time for Christians to look to Jesus and win the battle for souls.

STRATEGIES FOR TAKING TERRITORIES Territorial taking power is shown in both the Old

Testament and New Testament. It is not a new idea, only it is a strategy that has been lost too much

of the Body of Christ. Territorial spirits= take over for God can only be understood spiritually by a

careful examination from the Word of God. Territories are shown as either under the power of God=s

people or under the power Satan=s servants. Territorial taking responds to the faith and obedience of

God=s servants. The subjection to Satan by his subjects slavishly hold territories and is moved by

demonic supernatural powers or by supernatural beings.

We must pray for these pastors that Our God will take the blinders off their eyes. If the blind

led the blind, they will both fall into the ditch.

Father We all agree that according to Matt. 18; 18 we pray for Your Pastors and Churches that

all the witchcraft territorial demons are bound in Jesus name.

The Spirit of Intercession

Intercession prayer is the petition or entreaty in behalf of another as act of mediating between

two parties for the purpose of effecting reconciliation. One of the offices of Christ is that of

intercession. In his capacity of a mediator he intercedes with God the Father on Behalf of mankind.

The Bible teaches us that the Holy Spirit also makes intercession for us. In the epistles of Paul there isconsiderable emphasis on the duty of Christians to intercede for one another.

Isaiah shows how the condition of the land when God does not have an intercessor. The entire

nation will fall into darkness. However, God is faithful and He seeks for a man to accept the

responsibility to stand before His throne to plead for His people. (Isa. 60:2). AFor, behold, the
http://www.miracleinternetchurch.com/http://www.miracleinternetchurch.com/http://www.miracleinternetchurch.com/


3/36


darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee,

and his glory shall be seen upon thee.@

Then we see in the previous chapter, (Isa. 59), God pleading for someone to stand in the gap for

His people. (Isa. 59:15-60), AYea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself aprey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. 16 And he saw that

there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought

salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 17 For he put on righteousness as a

breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance

for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. 18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will

repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.

19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun.

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against

him. 20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob,

saith the LORD. 21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon

thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of

the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth

and forever.@

God Needs You!

The world is in need of self-denying intercessors, people who will sacrifice their time for the

church and the nation in prayer. Revival will come on the wings of prayer. We must return to God =s

way concerning the issues of our country. Territorial warfare must return to God=s people to bring

revival to the church. Moses= intercession is epitomized when he was chosen to lead God=s people. He

said, AOh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt

forgive their sin, and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.@

Moses delivered a nation from bondage of slavery by the spirit of love and he was so devoted

to his people, he was actually asking God to strike him dead and wipe his name out of the Book of Life

rather than to lose his people! He was demonstrating that the number one reality of intercession is

death to your flesh and love for the people. Many times, he is shown struggling in prayer because of

the condition of his people.

How to Take Our Cities for God

AAnd it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together forwarfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go

out with me to battle, thou and thy men. 2 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what


4/36


thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for

ever,@(1Sam. 28:1-2).

OCCUPY

Jesus admonished us toAOccupy until I come.

@The word occupy means to take possession of

Jesus placed His business and His great work in the hands of his servants.

How do we occupy?

We occupy when we are faithful to our calling.AHis lord said unto him, Well done, thou goodand faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many

things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord, (Matt 25:21).

Territorial battles are won when one has a zeal for Godly values and will want to raise His

standards through spiritual warfare. In the resurrection of Christ, as in our salvation, there was put

forth nothing short of a divine power. There is no more blessed way of living than a life of

dependence upon a covenant-keeping God. We have no care, for He cares for us; we have no

troubles, because we cast our burdens upon the Lord. Jesus gives us all the power that we need to

win every battle. "The exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe according to the

working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead,"

Eph. 1:19, Eph. 1:20. Stand up in your faith in the power of Jesus Christ, he has won the battle. Now,

Hell give us all the power we need to overcome every demon. Heb 11:3 Through faith we

understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were

not made of things which do appear. Have faith in God!

Witches and wizards rule over territories. They have these territories because Christian men

and women who are spiritually not actively taking part to conquer the enemy and tending not to

participate actively, and usually letting others make decisions and do not intercede with passion for

Jesus to rule by simply give the territory over to the powers of darkness. Satan only has the power

that is given to him by Gods people. This is no witch are wizard alive that is more powerful than the

power of Jesus Christ. They stand in the power of the forces of Satan and Jesus Christ has defeated

his power. Col. 1:16-17 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in

earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all

things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all thingsconsist.

Never attribute power to Satans witches and wizards they are simply deceived human beings

who receive their power from defeated demons, 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have

overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 4:4


5/36


[And have overcome them] Have triumphed over their arts and temptations; their endeavors

to draw you into error and sin. The word THOSE in this place seem to refer to the false prophets or

teachers (witches and witches) who collectively constituted antichrist. The meaning is that they had

frustrated or thwarted all their attempts to turn them away from the truth.

[Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world] God, who dwells in your

hearts, and by whose strength and grace alone you have been enabled to achieve this victory, is

mightier than Satan, who rules in the hearts of the people of this world, and whose seductive arts are

seen in the efforts of these false teachers. The apostle meant to say that it was by no power of their

own that they achieved this victory, but it was to be traced solely to the fact that God dwelt among

them, and had preserved them by his grace. What was true then is true now. He, who dwells in the

hearts of Christians by his Spirit, is infinitely mightier than Satan, "the ruler of the darkness of this

world;" and victory, therefore, over all his arts and temptations may be sure. In his conflicts with sin,

temptation, and error, the Christian should never despair, for his God will insure him the victory.1

Jezebel, a Territorial Spirit C Elijah, a Territorial Taking Prophet

King Ahab was willing to give his inheritance of being ruler of the nation by giving his wife

the authority for her to promote her gods over his countrys religious system. Because of his passivity,

she took the nation and turned it to paganism. Of course, since everything is spiritual, it is only a

matter of time before she began to move into the secular realms to grab power. The Jezebel spirit is a

territorial taking spirit.

While Israel clearly was influenced by some of the traditions of her neighbors, the Hebrew

prophets and religious leaders abhorred other aspects of these cultures. First they condemned suchreligious practices as idolatry, common in Canaan and in the surrounding regions. AI am the Lord yourGod . . . You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image,@(Exo. 20:2-4). The Hebrews called a pagan deity to whom child sacrifices were often made by the

contemptuous title Molech which by the way, is the very same idol that our leaders are worshipping a

forty foot owl at Bohemian grove.2

This name combines the Hebrew consonants for Aking@ with the

vowels from the word meaning shame. The Bible says that Ahab looked upon his marriage to Jezebel

Aas a light thing.@ Yet, this woman was a witch-idolater and was able to take the entire nation over for

her gods.

The Ahab spirit promoted a wishy-washy man to be unstable in all his ways. He was efficient

and strong in manipulative and administrative powers but weak and vacillating in the face of his

powerful wife, Jezebel. "But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work

wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. And he did very abominably

in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the

children of Israel,@(1 Kn. 21:25).

He gave his authority to his wife and even when she abused it. He remained passive. Ahab=s

marriage to Jezebel proved to be a major factor in the eventual fall of the Omride dynasty.

Jezebel, a witch, was a clever and determined woman, devoted to the worship of Baal and

Ahserah and determined to substitute their worship for that of the true God. AAnd it came to pass, asif it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to

wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and

worshiped him. And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in

Samaria. And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger

than all the King of Israel that were before him,@ (I Kn. 16:31).

It was she, being devoid of the authoritarian principles which characterized the religion of the

Hebrews, who secured the vineyard of Naboth for her pouting husband (usurpation of his authority).

This deplorable offence became a battle cry of the revolution to overthrow the house of Omri.

Elijah appeared before King Ahab to declare the Word of God to him concerning the subject of

God=s judgment. He actually spoke and forbid the rain. Elijah said, AAs the Lord God of Israel liveth,before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.@( I Kn.17:1).

God was going to Judge Jezebels= capture of the nation (territory) through the practice of

witchcraft and goddess worship. Amazingly God used the commitment and obedience of one man to

provoke these powers of darkness that had control of the entire kingdom. Elijah=s narrative is one

that when God turned His eyes on a nation to deliver it from Satan =s hands. He moved through a

human vessel. To become a territorial taking warrior, you must make note of the fact that God and

one man became a majority in the spiritual realms.

After God=s wrath of judgment was poured out for Ahab=s rebellion, Elijah returned to challenge

his wife=s Jezebel=s gods of Baal and Asherah. The Bible says, AAnd it came to pass, when Ahab saw

Elijah, that Ahab said unto him Art thou he that troubleth Israel?@ (I Kn. 18: 1). When a person is insin, they always want to place the blame for his condition upon someone else.

The curses of rebellion had brought much suffering to land. Uncontrollably, the evil power using

nature had brought King Ahab to his knees. In his desperation, he was willing to listen to Elijah=s. He

allowed him to oppose the false prophets and Jezebels= gods. Elijah wars the power of Jezebels= god

Baalim on the mountaintop of Mount Carmel. He boldly fought against the prophets of Baal, and the


7/36


prophets of Asherah. There were four hundred and fifty and the prophets of the groves, four

hundred, which sat at Jezebels= table. After Ahab gathered the prophets together and the people,

Elijah said, Ahow long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him; but if Baal,then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.@ (I Kn. 18: 21).

The Word says that after winning this great spiritual battle, all the false prophets were killed by

the people. Elijah had rebuilt the altar of God and the people fell on their faces to worship Jehovah. In

his zeal and victory, Elijah announced the abundance of the sound of rain warning the king to go to

Zezreel before it began. The king left and Elijah went alone to pray. He cast himself down to ground,

put his face between his knees and sent his servant to look for a cloud to form toward the sea. After

the seventh time, the servant announced to Elijah, Athat he saw a small cloud about the size of amans= hand. Elijah sent him to tell the king to prepare his chariot so that he would miss the rain.

The heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode and went to

Zezreel. And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah and he ran before the chariot of the king. Thinkabout it. He actually ran forty miles, faster than the king =s team of horses to the city. It was

miraculous that he could run thirty miles before the Ahab=s chariot. The powerful anointing of God

was still upon him and he had supernatural power.

The truth is, whenever a person has ministered under the anointing of God, it takes while for

God=s anointing to lift. Do we see anywhere in this account that God told Elijah to go to city to

challenge Jezebel? Did Elijah in his excitement and zeal for his victory, go before he sought God=s next

move?

I believe that this is where Elijah failed. He should have gone apart returning to the presence ofGod, building himself up on the Word of God, before attempting to face the next battle. After

winning a victory, the person is on a spiritual high, and must settle them down because they need to

discover the next part of God=s plan. The minister will begin to act in the flesh; the person will lose

spiritual strength if they push ahead before God=s time.

Baal destroyed by the fire of Jehovah

It was customary to honor a king by running before his chariot (Verse 46; Exo. 12: 11; 2Kn. 3:29;

9:1; Lk. 12:37; 17:8; Acts 12:8). Ahab made his report to Jezebel regarding the prophets of Baal being

destroyed by the fire of Jehovah. She was confident that her powers were greater because her godshad overcome all the prophets of God and she had successfully killed them and taken the territory for

her god Baal. She reasoned how could one man defeat and kill her powerful prophets? She rejected

Ahabs account of the miraculous fire and of the supernatural superior power of Elijah =s= over her

pagan prophets. Her heart was hardened and it caused her determined to kill Elijah who had caused

her idol gods to be so humiliated.


8/36


The bondage of fear

We see in verse (1 Kn. 19:1), Ahab tells Jezebel about everything that had happened on the top

of Mount Carmel. Jezebel is furious and sent a messenger (messengers were angelic beings in the

bible) which in this case was a fallen angel to confront Elijah to take his life. Then a very curious

thing develops. This brave man Elijah is shown running away in fear for his life. Look carefully at the

Word of God, AThen when he saw >that=, he arose and ran for his life,@ (I Kn. 19:3a). He was nowrunning to Mount Horeb, completely out of the will of God. He was no longer looking for God to lead

and direct him.

We see this thing called Athat@ evidently it released fear upon him. His doorway was openedfor that demonic spirit to discharge fear into him. The bondage of fear, brought spirits of self-pity,

oppression and depression. Fear is the exact opposite of faith. He had received the spirit of fear bring

hordes of demons to join him.

What was Athat@ and who was the Amessenger@ that Jezebel sent to this prophet of God? Whydidn=t she just send someone to kill Elijah without first warning him? Witchcraft always works with

the spirit of fear! Did Elijah really run in fear from the woman Jezebel, as many teach today?

Remember. Elijah had killed all of Jezebels= prophets on the mountaintop thereby showing faith to

attack her gods. Could, what was simply described as Athat@ has been the chief evil demonicprincipality over Jezebels= witchcraft power abiding in the city? Could the messenger have been a

chief evil principality that was aiding her jurisdiction over the nation? The messenger was most

definitely an evil spiritual being or a fallen angel.

And so, the messenger that was sent by Jezebel was a powerful evil angel, or devil. Jezebel wassetting Elijah up to receive a spirit of fear by her threat of death. Witchcraft powers work with fear.

Fear is the opposite of faith and opens the spiritual doorway for entrance of evil forces to enter.

Before a witch is able to be effective in sending evil spirits for destruction, she will always send a

message (or messenger) to the intended victim to inform of her evil intentions. This message can

come in the form of a threat or it could come in the form of an object that is used in her blood

sacrifices such as a voodoo doll. The witch has to appease her spirits before they will obey her

request. Before conjuring her powers to cause the death, the witch must plead with the evil spirits to

go and obey her command. However, before the spirits obey, they must be worshiped by blood

sacrifices. This is why Jezebel sent the messenger (evil angel) to Elijah. She had to open his spirit tofear before she could penetrate his shield of faith. Remember, this man, Elijah was a godly man that

had faith to raise the dead! Therefore, she had to appease the demons with blood sacrifices before

they would obey her commands.

So did Elijah run in fear from the woman, Jezebels= threat or did he run from the intimidating

appearance and powers of the demons that were controlling Jezebel? The Bible said Awhen he saw


9/36


something called Athat,@ and then he ran for his life. AThat@ must have been so formidable,grotesques and startling that the spirit of fear came upon him. This thing called Athat@ caused him tobe filled with terror and he ran for in terror for life. Elijah is seen, after he saw Athat,@ he instantlybecame a changed man. He received a complete religious transformation. He was totally dispirited,

no longer a strong man of faith. He is exposed as a man changed and filled with fear. Suddenly, hischaracter has shifted from a man full of the power of God to conquer the gods of the mountain and

killing Jezebels false prophets into a man overpowered and weakened from the oppression of evil

spirits that he just wants to sleep. Even after an angel appears, awakens him to feed him, he goes

back to sleep. This is a picture of man being weighed down by the power of evil spirits. The same type

of serious oppression can be seen when the disciples were sleeping in the Garden of Gethsemane

while Jesus was under heavy spiritual attack. This is why the Church is sleeping in our time.

Spiritual submission to God is important before battles can be won!

Elijah had raced victoriously into Jezebel=s territory to conquer her predominate rule over God

=s

people and the evil powers and principalities were totally controlling this area through the

manipulations of this powerful witch. Elijah came under intense bewitching spirits as long as he was

in Jezebels= domain and this spirit followed him as he ran in terror. He would have never survived

Jezebels= witchcraft attack, if God had not sent a ministering angel to strengthen and support him.

Actually, we see a man moving by his own flesh during this time of confusion and no longer abiding

under the power of God.

After this angel fed him and gave him drink, Elijah was able to fast and walk for forty days,

leaving Jezebels= territory. However, the effects of her evil spirits were still present after he left her

territory. Her witchcraft powers had thrown him in spiritual confusion and many evils and troubles

had befallen upon him. He was dispirited, depressed and in a state of confusion, seeking God =s

presence at Mount Horeb. It seems that he was going toward Mount Horeb without being in the

direct will of God to do so. But God enabled him to go in his own self-will. Even so, Elijah had to learn

that self-made plans, never work out. Eventually one has to go back to where to the point that he left

off following the direct will of God, if he wants Him to lead and guide. This was not for him to go to

Mount Horeb for when he arrived, he was sent back farther north to than the place where he had

started from (Verse. 15-18); more than 80 days of much hard traveling was his only reward except for

the new experience of hearing from God.

Horeb was about 180 miles south of the place where he sat under a juniper tree. His was a slow

journey, for it took him 40 days to get there (Verse 8). Perhaps this was because of his fast. The

journey north again was over 300 miles. In (Verse 15), this question confirms the fact that God did

not tell this prophet to go to mount Horeb. However God permitted him to go where he desired,

before giving him the next assignment. It seemed he was so moved with fear to get away, that he did

not inquire of God what to do. Fear brings doubt and blocks the voice of God. He had lost his spiritual


10/36


ears. The Lord could have protected him without going this drawn-out distance to mount Horeb and

the back north to Syria.

This shows the serious turmoil that Elijah found himself. He was in a state of outright religious

confusion. Why did he have to go looking for God? Didn =t Elijah find God at the brook of Cherith?

Didn=t Elijah find Him on the mountain when he demonstrated the power of God? However under

Jezebels= witchcraft spell, he found himself in religious chaos. Jezebels= demons had totally bound his

mind by evil spirits that he seemed to have forgotten the great spiritual battle that he had previously

won.

When God spoke to him again there were three great things that God was not in, a great wind

(Verse 11); a great earthquake, a great fire. When Elijah raced before the chariot of King Ahab, God

was positively not in Elijah=s honoring him. Remember, when he returned to Jezebel, he returned to

his weak, passive state of mind. God looks into the heart of a person. He discerned that the King=s

change of heart would only last until he returned to his wife and her powers of deception.

Elijah discovered God was in the still small voice (Verse12). Covering his face, was a sign of

reverence, in the presence of God, after his second visit with the small still voice, (Verse 9:13), God

was saying to him, I did not ask you to come here; go right back north (Verse 13-16). He had to face

the giant demons of Jezebels= territory in order to finish his course for the cause of God.

Jezebel had sent powerful bewitching spirits of mental illness, oppression, depression,

confusion, doubt, destruction, pain, suicide and death. Elijah cried to God to die. He blamed the

people to God for his fear and defeat. He told God that the people had torn down His altar and were

not following Him. Did we see Elijah rebuild the altar of God and the people turned and fell upontheir faces in worship of the true God? His victories had receded in the depths of his doubts and

fears. Elijah was being tormented in his mind. These powerful blocking-mind controlling spirits seems

to have caused him to misplace his memory of these things because he repeats his charges to God.

He is seen suffering from a spirit of isolation because he believes that he is the only one left, still

serving God. If spirits can isolate a person, they become more effective.

Understand that Jezebels= demonic powers were working on his mind, body and spirit from a

distance as she had conjured up killing demons and sent them out. It was an all out attack for his life.

Witches do not have to present, to work their powers because they do their rituals and then send out

their evil spirits to do their craftsmanship

Jezebel was just a human being, but a willing instrument to these evil spirits. Satan had taken

the territory through evil lusts and designs. He revealed himself to Elijah in his ghastly appearance of

evil. No, I believe that Elijah did not run from Jezebel the woman. He ran from the witchcraft and

idolatry gods (demons) of Jezebel that were controlling the territory! Elijah had successfully defeated

the gods of the mountain. Evil spirits abide where people live. On the other hand, the gods of the city


11/36


were different, there were more of them. They were stronger, more intimidating because they had

more humans willing submitting to them in sin. Notice that Jezebel=s messenger (devil spirit) was not

fearful to approach the man of God that had just defeated the gods (devil spirits) of the mountain.

These city evil spirits were more powerful because they had successfully taken over the entire nation

and murdered all the prophets of Jehovah. Every time a religious spirit defeats a child of God, thatspirit gains strength!

In my ministry of deliverance, I have found that every time a demon defeats a child of God, he

becomes bolder and stronger and begins to think of itself as invincible. If a spirit that defeats= a child

of God, that evil spirit will lose his fear of God=s people. Nonetheless, Jezebels= demons were

successful because they had killed God=s prophets. Also, they had control of a committed agreeable

vessel. They had used her witchcraft powers to take over the territory and bring its people to the feet

of Satan. The entire nation had fallen into churlish sins of idolatry, witchcraft and goddess worship.

Interestingly, the word ANGEL (Hebrew mal`ak; Greek angelos, both meaning "messenger"). Insome cases the word is applied to human beings (Mal. 2:7; Rev.1:20) or even figuratively to

impersonal agents (Exo. 14:19; 2 Sam. 24:16-17; Psa. 104:4). The connection must determine its

force. In its most common use in Scripture the word nevertheless designates certain spiritual and

superhuman beings that are introduced to us as messengers of God.1

There is harmony between the teachings of our Lord upon this subject and those of the

apostles and other Scripture writers. Many questions that may be raised can receive no answer

whatever from the Scriptures. Of the history of the angels we can know but little. It is clear that Satan

and the fallen angels (demons) were created sinless and later fell (Isa. 14:12-15; Rev. 12:3-4). Some of

their number "did not keep their own domain" but fell under divine displeasure and are reserved "for

the judgment of the great day" (Jude 6).

Aside from the teachings of Scripture there is nothing irrational, but quite the opposite, in

believing in the existence of creatures superior to man in intelligence, as there are many inferiors. But

we depend wholly upon the Scriptures for our knowledge. The denial of the existence of angels, as

that of a personal devil and demons, springs from the materialistic, unbelieving spirit, which in its

most terrible form denies the existence of God.1

The truth is, the Jezebel spirit is a territory-taking principality. People who are totally

committed and submitted to God because this devil will come after their life can only defeat this

Jezebel spirit. In the Scripture, it took another man, Elijah with a double anointing, and a school of the

prophets taught by Elijah to accomplish God=s plan for the nation of Elijah.

Deborah, Territorial Warrior


12/36


There are many places in the Old Testament Battles that required territorial taking faith.

Deborah was a prophetess and judge of Israel at a time when Israel was oppressed by Jabin, King of

Hazor, and Sisera, the general of his powerful army. Judg. 4:4-5 Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of

Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between

Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

Deborah commanded Barak to gather men to engage Sisera in Battle. Although reluctant, Barak

carried out his mission but only with Deborah at his side. Judg. 4:10, And Barak called Zebulun and

Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with

him. This proves that God and one person in agreement with His power will make a majority. Barak

had ten thousand men but needed the faith of woman connected to the power of God to win the

Battle.

He routed the army of Sisera. Sisera himself escaped but was slain by Jael, the wife of Jeber the

Kenite, who put him to sleep with a glass of milk and then drove a tent peg into his temple.

Oops, poor Barack had to take a double barrel rebuke from God, another woman killed Sisera.

The fact of this testimony is that two powerful women, Deborah and Jael, had the anointing of

God for territorial taking power. Her submission to God had elevated her to the position of

prophetess and judge over the nation.

Many people today equate every woman who has spiritual power, as having the spirit of

Jezebel. Not so! It all depends upon whose power the woman is submitted! If she is working for

Satan, then she has a Jezebel spirit. If she is working for God, then she is a royal, noble woman!

New Testament Breaking Territorial Spirits

The greatest spiritual battle happened in the Garden of Gethsemane when every power and

principality came to stop Jesus from His blood sacrifice. The spiritual atmosphere was charged with

spirits of heaviness and oppression that His disciples could not stay awake. Every devil in the world

was there, working to keep Jesus from finish His goal of sacrifice for the souls of the world.

The reign of Jesus Christ on earth with His saints is as sure as His birth, life, death, resurrection,

ascension and High Priestly intercession. He has always wanted His disciples to participate with Him

in spiritual warfare as is shown in (Matt. 26: 40-45), AAnd he cometh unto the disciples, and findeththem asleep, and saith unto Peter. What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and

pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42 He left

for the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me,

except I drink it, thy will be done. 43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were

heavy. 44 and he left them, and went away again, and prayer the third time, saying the same


13/36


words. 45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest:

behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.@

The powers of Satan waged a spiritual warfare against the flesh of the Lord =s disciples. Satan

and every devil=s assignment were to defeat Jesus Christ=s purpose for His life. If they had only known

that the killing of Jesus would turn into His victory and our redemption, they would have never

crucified the Lord.

Jesus was able to win the greatest spiritual battle of His life against the powers of darkness C

alone. Every demon in the world came to the garden that day to work against his failure. He was

victorious through His prayer life to defeat the principalities and powers of Satan, but seemed to be

heartbroken that these men were overcome by their corporeal weakness of the flesh and could not

participate with His victory. Remember, this battle was occurring before they received their power to

overcome by the power of the Holy Ghost as is shown in (Acts 1:8).

Jesus established His Church upon the rock of His Deity, His blood sacrifice and the anointing

and powers of the Holy Ghost. He believed that His Church should be able to wage a militant

successful war against the powers of the Devil. His church was given the absolute ability to conquer

the powers of darkness and win the souls that He had died for.

The Bible shows in (2 Cor. 10:3-5), For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the

flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling

down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself

against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience ofChrist;

Though Christians live in the world, they do not wage war as the world does. The weapons that

we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish

strongholds. He left His power for. His people to be victorious because we have the same anointing

through the Holy Ghost as Jesus did. Will you sleep during the greatest battle of the end time Church

while millions are in the valley of decision?

The Apostle Paul

God had a use for this former persecutor. He was to be a Achosen vessel@ in which the gospel

would be carried to the Gentiles. His ministry shows the clearest view of territorial usurpation in the

New Testament. He began his ministry in Syria and Cilicia, which probably lasted ten or eleven years.

His Fist Missionary Journey took Paul and Barnabas to the island of Cyprus and to Southern Galatia

and other cities in that area of Asia Minor, see Acts 13-14.


14/36


The Second Missionary Journey which took about three years carried the new faith across the

continental boundary into Europe to such cities as Philippi, Athens, and Corinth, Acts 16:18.

The Third Missionary Journey many of the areas previously evangelized was revisited. A great

portion of the tour-about two and some half yearsBwas spent in the work of Ephesus, Acts 19: 21.

Look at his work in the city of Athens.ANow while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spiritwas stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. And when they heard of the

resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and other said, we will hear thee again of this matter,

(Acts 17: 16, 17). What did Paul see? He saw a city totally taken over by the spirit of idolatry and their

souls are going to hell; then he set himself to the purpose of taking back the territory for Christ!

The Great Evangelist Charles Finney

When this man of God came to a city, he came to take the territory. It was written that he

became an aggressive prayer warrior for each city before attempting to minister. He prayedmilitantly, walking back and forth, pacing and crying out for souls. He looked out the window and

could see the people milling about. They were bent over with the burdens of sin. He stopped praying

at intervals and said ACan I go now Lord?= The Lord would answer, Anot yet.@ Finney continued to

pace, fervently prayed, but when he looked down at the people, they were still bent over as though

they were carrying heavy weights on their backs. ACan I go now Lord?@ The Lord said, Anot yet.@

Finney prayed again but when he saw the people this time, they were looking up, crying out, Awhere

is God? Where is God?@ Then the Lord told Finney, Anow you can go.@

The testimony of this event says that seventy-five thousand people were saved. The bars shut

down and the churches filled up. This is territorial taking power!

Intercession Produces Territorial Victories

We never to underestimate the enemy; AAmong the most highly respected intercessors and

spiritual warriors today is Johannes Facius of Germany, coordinator, of Intercessors International. I

point this out so that we understand we are not talking about a novice, but a veteran. He tells how

back in 1986, a team of intercessors went to the Soviet Union and entered the Lenin Mausoleum in

Moscow, The felt they should pronounce judgment upon the Agods of the Soviet system,@ Vladimir

Lenin.3

Shortly after this power dominion taking intercessory prayer, the Soviet Communism crumbled.

But Facius said, Ait was through this move against Satan that I suffered one of the strangest attacks of

sickness that I have ever experienced. The initial attack lasted one day, but soon afterward came a

debilitating heart disease. I see it as a counterattack of the spirit of death that they had resisted in the

15/36


Lenin Mausoleum and three years of severe depression followed. After that he was delivered in a

session that lasted less than 30 seconds!

We must always go into spiritual warfare understanding Gods power requires us to drop all

pride because pride will bring us to fall. Paul said to the Corinthians AI was with you in weakness, in

fear, and in much trembling,@ (I Cor. 2:3), and, AWhen I am weak, then I am strong,@ (2 Cor. 12:10).

Nonetheless, Paul was one of the most powerful spiritual warriors in the New Testament. He took the

territorial power from the satanic goddess, Diana! Effective spiritual warfare requires a delicate

balance of weakness and power. The minute we begin to think we are doing it ourselves, we become

vulnerable to the enemy=s attack.

Johannes Facius admitted this was his problem he did not remain unbroken, intimate fellowship

with the Lord. He let his humility. Facius said, Adue too much busyness in the Lord=s business, I came

to the point where I let go of my dependency on the Lord.@4

My Experience with Territorial Battles

I have been teaching on the subject of intercession for more than thirty-five years. Several

years ago, I took an evangelistic team to Jamaica. One of the members of my team, Henry, was

praying for the island one morning. He prayed, ALord why is this island in such darkness?@ Suddenly

the clouds parted and he saw a giant black dragon. On the dragon=s head, he saw a black crow. The

crow was walking back and forth across the dragon=s head. The crow seemed to walking like a sentry,

watching the people below.

When Henry told me about his experience, I prayed and sought the Lord concerning these

spiritual beings. The Lord showed me that these two principalities were the instigators of black

witchcraft. The island was taken over by these powers.

The very next meeting, at the end of the preaching, I asked the entire church to stand and pray.

As the Christians prayed, I began to do warfare and took authority over these evil principalities and

powers. I commanded them too loose the people. In the islands, the churches are not air-

conditioned. People gather outside to watch the people turn on for God and hear the music. After

this territorial spiritual warfare prayer, these people raced into the church and many got saved,

healed, and filled with the Holy Spirit.

I repeated this spiritual warfare action each time we visited different churches, and each time

we experienced people running into the various churches to receive Jesus!

Another interesting story happened in Ghana West Africa. I had been flying for more than

twenty-one hours and very tired. At dawn, I was awakened to the Islam cries of a man that was

praying over the city. His loud sound machine blasted and reverberated over the city coming into

every household. I said, ALord, if that man can pray to his false god, I can battle him in the spirit for

you!@ I began to do spiritual warfare. I commanded the spirits to be bound and shut their mouths. I

command the demon of Boice to break that machine in Jesus name (Boice is a demon that breaks

Christian equipment) It was amazing, by the third day, I had beaten these demons and we neverheard them again.

When I returned to Ghana recently, Bishop Kanco told me that one of his preachers saw one of

the Islam minister walking down the street. The Islam minister asked him, Ais that white woman still

staying at the Bishop=s house?@ The Christian minister said, Ano. How did you know that she was

staying there?@ She=s been binding our spirits, they came and told us about her.@

It was incredible that the city prayer crier is still not praying since I prayed the first trip! More

wonderful, Muslim people began to just show up at Bishop=s gate. They were being saved. The

Bishop=s wife

=s grandmother and mother who were former Muslims were filled with the Holy Spirit.

The grandmother, was bent over to the waist was suddenly healed and her back was straightened by

the power of God. Yes, I have experienced many spiritual battles and have won!

Another interesting experience that shows that spirits are territorial happened some years ago.

There was a woman that was practicing witchcraft on the west coast of Florida. She found my book,

the Walking Deadin her mother in laws= house. She stole the book and took it home. She particularly

liked the cover of the book and wanted to have it enlarged so that she could put it over her satanic

altar. The Holy Spirit had other plans. He led her to read it!

This witch called me on the phone and asked me if she could be forgiven and saved like thewitch in the book. I replied, Abeyond a shadow of doubt.@ The witch decided that she wanted to see

to whom she was talking on the phone. She wanted to know if I was a real Christian. She told me

after her conversion to Jesus that she killed a dog for a sacrifice and conjured up some evil spirits.

Then she sent them across the state to Ascan me.@

These demons returned to her to give a report. She could no longer see them. She asked Awhy

can=t I see you?@ The demons told her that when they came to the authors= house, that I had bound

them and put them in a cage. They told her that they could never serve her again. (Think about that! I

had bound them according Matt. 18:18 and they could never serve her again!) They were defeated!

She was perplexed. She conjured up her most powerful spirit. This evil spirit told her that the

witch would have to do some more sacrifices to bring up a whole bunch of demons to go with him.

These spirits returned back to her and she could not see them. They told her, that I had also bound

them and put them in a cage. They said that they could not get into my house because they saw

angels everywhere. They said, ACall her and tell her to stop praying for you, because she is praying

invisible blood everywhere. She is praying it down here to you.@


17/36


The witch did call and ask me to stop praying for her. Of course, I still prayed for her. One day,

she drove across the state and came to my house. She told me that she thought that AI was a stronger

witch and that I was stealing her demons.@ I led her to the Lord Jesus and through deliverance and

she is still working for Him. She is leading people to Him while working at a Hospice.

The interesting thing about this testimony is this witch had to send her conjured demons across

the state to see me before she knew anything about me. I believe it is because her evil spirits only

knew what was happening in the territory that she lived in. They had to cross territorial lines to know

things in my area.

Picture of Obedience

New Christians are like babies that have to learn to live in a new supernatural environment.

They have to establish a different connection with the powers of darkness after salvation. Once they

were will dupes to these devils. They were slaves. However, they are now the sworn opponents of

the legions of Hell. They must be taught how to defeat these evil powers. Whoever they were before

they became Christians; adulterers, idolaters, horoscope readers, witches, warlocks, fornicators, they

must not have any delusions about the devils= reality or their hostility. They must not fear them. They

must believe that the devils= no longer have any power over them.

The Lord Jesus that lives inside of the Christian terrifies the devils. The devils cannot touch them

but they will try to seduce them. If they become a serious Christian, the devils will target them. The

Christian at times will experience great opposition. The Christian should call upon the name of Jesus

and ask the Lord to send warring angels to protect them. They must read the Bible and lean upon the

Lord in obedience.

Jesus Christ is our Master, the One Who leads, Who gives commands. And we don =t have to

wonder what He wants us to do, for God has revealed. His will to us in the bible. As we learn its

principles and specific commands, made known to us by the Holy Spirit we are to obey them exactly

and without question. When we obey, His work among His people is accomplished. Philip=s response

to the Holy Spirit was immediate in Acts 8:29, 30. Then the Spirit said to Philip, AGo near and overtake

this chariot.@So Philip ran to him.@Philip=s reaction to the Holy Spirit directive was instantaneously

obeyed. He didn=t wait for any further command or prompting from God; he raced like Elijah did and

caught the Ethiopian eunuch. He found him reading the Scriptures. Had Philip hesitated, he might

have missed the opportunity to lead him to Jesus Christ!

We should always be ready to obey God.

The Church of Jesus Christ has to be the difference in every community. Jesus= Saints are His

instruments on this earth because He is sitting at the right hand of God waiting and willing to give the

power to win every spiritual battle. He gave the Church spiritual armor and weapons. Our weapons


18/36


are prayer, using His name, His blood, His Word and His power. The Apostle Paul shows this

transference of Jesus = power to usward who believe in (Eph. 1:19-22). And what is the exceeding

greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which

he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him at His own right hand in the

heavenly places. Far above all principality and power and might, and dominion, and every that arenamed not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his

feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.

Heavenly Father, Most glorious God. We bow in worship and praise You; be merciful and

gracious by the might of Your Spirit lift us to Your Presence, that we may receive clemency and find

grace to help us in time of need.

We cover ourselves with the blood of Lord Jesus Christ as our protection as we intend to enter

into Spiritual warfare. We surrender ourselves entirely in every area of our lives to You. We examine

our hearts and we ask You to forgive us for every transgression that we have committed. We cometo your as our Deliverer. We ask you to release us from all the things that bind, torment, defile and

harass us.

The disciples did not ask Jesus to give them power or teach them how to do miracles. They saw

His relationship with You and they desired to learn to pray. They wanted that unique kinship because

of Whom You are and Your glory and holiness.

We want to learn to stand in our priesthood positions, praying for those who are unable to

come before your throne through the blood of Jesus Christ. Your Word tells us (Matt. 28:18), that all

power is given unto Me in heaven . . . earth. In (Matt. 8:24-27), the disciples saw that, even thewinds and the sea obey Him, and in (Hebr. 1: 3). Upholding all things by the Word of His power.

Jesus Christ is unequaled in power, (Psa. 69:6). He has a name above every name, as is shown in

(Phil. 2:9-11). In (Hebr. 2:17, 3:2). He is a Faithful High Priest that never fails. Since He is

unchangeable, (Hebr. 2:22, 23), and (Hebr. 13:8), Jesus Christ, the same yesterday . . . today,

forever, we can depend upon His love and mercy."

Lord if a demon possessed man called Todd Bentley and GODTV and all that have joined them

can cause a world outpouring of satanic signs and wonders, then we believe that You can stop these

demonic forces through our prayers. We believe that You and one person is a majority and have

more power than all the demons in the universe.

We have every confidence in the authority of our Lord and the total defeat of Satan. The

rebellion against God is great as people are filled with all unrighteousness. Spiritual death is stalking

the world. It is certain the unbelievers will fall into the hands of the Living God and we know that is a

fearful thing, (Hebr. 10:31). We have dedicated ourselves to stand in the gap for our families,

churches, cities, states and country and nations.


19/36


Because of Jesus and His great power to save unto the uttermost, we stand on the foundations

of His life and Word to pray. We believe You Lord, for a revival in our land. Let your fire fall as you did

for Elijah in (I Kn. 18:38). We need the fire of God today to burn out the sins of our hearts and to set

us afire to win souls for Christ. As You gave victory unto Your prophet Elijah over these evil forces of

his day, You will give us victory.

We praise You Lord God that You will each us to reclaim city, our country, our lost relatives, and

our cold modern churches, to return to You. We give you glory, Lord that you will teach us how to

tear down the false religious system of the New Age and the spirit of Baal. Help us O Lord to pray for

the rebuilding of the altar of God. Send us powerful living stones that are needed for this dark hour of

time.

Lord we thank you today for sending a great number of laborers to enter the harvest fields of

lost souls, (Matt.9: 38); that Gods ministers might have boldness in preaching the Word of God, (Eph.

6:19,20); that Gods people might become doers of the Word and not just hearers only, (Jas. 1:22);that Gods people will make known his deeds, (I Chron. 16:8); that they make known God=s deeds of

mercy that recorded in His Word and experienced in their lives, (Jn. 4:23-30) & (Tit. 3:5). Also that

they make known Gods deliverance from Satan and the penalty and power of sin, (Jn. 8:36); (Rom.

6:14-18); that they make known Gods provision for us as shown in (Jas. 1:17).

As believers, we contend that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and we contend for the

faith, (II Tim. 3:16). We know that no revival can come until we live what we claim. Move upon your

people Lord and give them a hunger for Your Word, a desire to be doers of the Word, washed by the

blood, by the Holy Spirit and by the Word. Cleanse Your church Lord and take not Your Holy Spirit

from us.

Thank You Father for regeneration and sanctification, help us to rededicate our lives to You,

Your Church and our families. We adore and worship You Father for the innumerable blessing in

Christ but most of all that we are chosen in Him, (Eph 1-4). Thank You for our inheritances and the

sealing by the Holy Ghost that took place when we were saved and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, (I Cor.

6: 19). Father we stand before Your throne, through the blood of Jesus, as we are His inheritance, we

are asking You to train and teach us to become great and mighty prayer warriors.

John 10:1-4 "1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the

sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that

entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep

hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he

putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his

voice."

They told him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for

three days. They had to leave. They were afraid to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He

turned and asked them where they were. They pointed to the hut and he asked them to go with him,

but they refused. They were afraid to go.

The native and his wife went to this little cottage and entered in where the man and woman

had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand in the name of the Lord Jesus

Christ, and spoke the man's name and the woman's name and said, "In the name of the Lord Jesus

Christ, I command life to come back to your bodies." Instantaneously these two heathen people who

had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit

and the power of God came into the life of those people.

To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning of these end-time

ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, and the no-accounts.

He is going to take every man and every woman and he is going to give to them this outpouring of the

Spirit of God.

In the book of Acts we read that In the last days, God said, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all

flesh." I wonder if we realized what he meant when God said, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all

flesh." I do not think I fully realized nor could I understand the fullness of it, and then I read from

the book of Joel: "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath

given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former

rain, and the latter rain," (Joel 2:23). It is not only going to be the rain, the former rain and the latter

rain, but he is going to give to his people in these last days a double portion of the power of God!

As the vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great highdistance. Where I was, I do not know. But I was looking down upon the earth. Suddenly the whole

earth came into my view. Every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the

east and the west, the north and the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had

been in, and I was almost in fear and trembling as I beheld the great sight before me: and at that

moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder.

As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward and I was facing

the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked at it, I was

almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the North

Pole and his head to the south. Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. I could not even begin tounderstand whether this be a mountain or this be a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great

giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but his body was covered with

debris from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it

would even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away.

Hideous creatures would run away from this giant, and when he would become calm, they would

come back.


22/36


All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven, and then it lifted its other hand,

and when it did these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the

darkness of the night.

Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As

he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him,and he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his

hands, they went even unto the clouds.

Suddenly, every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched

this phenomenon it was so great I could not even begin to understand what it all meant. I was as

stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord and I said, "Oh Lord, what is the meaning of this." and

I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the Lord even as I was asleep.

And from those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this

mighty giant, and slowly, slowly, this giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself,

and as he melted, his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth, and this great

rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth itself and as I watched

this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As I

beheld the sight before me, people stood up all over the world! They were lifting their hands and

they were praising the Lord.

At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens. I

turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white - the

most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew

it was the Lord Jesus Christ, and he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth

to one, and to another, and to another. And as he stretched forth his hand upon the nations and thepeople of the world - men and women - as he pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow

from his hands into them, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them, and those people began

to go forth in the name of the Lord.

I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I

beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch forth his hand; but there was a tragedy. There were

many people as he stretched forth his hand that refused the anointing of God and the call of God. I

saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God. But as he

stretched forth his hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and

began to back away. And each of those that seemed to bow down and back away, seemed to go intodarkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere.

I was bewildered as I watched it, but these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands

of people all over the world, in Africa, England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the

Anointing of God was upon these people as they went forward in the name of the Lord. I saw

these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, and

they were rich men, they were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness


23/36


and blindness and deafness. As the Lord stretched forth to give them this anointing, they became

well, they became healed, and they went forth!

And this is the miracle of it - this is the glorious miracle of it - those people would stretch forth

their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed as if there was this same liquid fire in their hands.

As they stretched forth their hands they said, "According to my word, be thou made whole."

As these people continued in this mighty end-time ministry, I did not fully realize what it was,

and I looked to the Lord and said, "What is the meaning of this?" And he said, "This is that which I will

do in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpillar - I will

restore all that they have destroyed. This, my people, in the end times will go forth as a mighty army

shall they sweep over the face of the earth."

As I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they

were going to and fro over the face of the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment

he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia, or China or America or some

other place, and vice versa. All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and

through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.

Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And like Jesus, they passed through the

multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and

everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened.

There was not a long prayer, and after I had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and I

thought about it many times, I realized that I never saw a church, and I never saw or heard a

denomination, but these people were going in the name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah!

As they marched forth in everything they did as the ministry of Christ in the end times, thesepeople were ministering to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even

millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these people stood forth and gave the message

of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it seems as though

there were those that rebelled, and they would become angry and they tried to attack those workers

that were giving the message.

God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last hour as the world has never known.

These men and women are of all walks of life, degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they

were going over the face of the earth. When one would stumble and fall, another would come and

pick him up. There were no "big I" and "little you," but every mountain was brought low and everyvalley was exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common - there was a divine love, a divine

love that seemed to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived

together. It was the most glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus Christ was the theme of their

life. They continued and it seemed the days went by as I stood and beheld this sight. I could only cry,

and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the whole

earth, bringing forth in this last end time.

As I watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid

light seemed to fall upon great congregations, and that congregation would lift up their hands and

seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, "I will

pour my Spirit upon all flesh," and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and every woman that

received this power, and the anointing of God, the miracles of God, there was no ending to it.

We have talked about miracles. We have talked about signs and wonders, but I could not help

but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o'clock this morning the letter from our native workers.

This is only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a "do-nothing, an unheard-of," who would go

and stretch forth his hand and say, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into

your body." I dropped to my knees and began to pray again, and I said, "Lord, I know that this time is

coming soon!"

And then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution

seemed to come from every angle.

Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder that seemed to resound around the world,

and I heard again the voice, the voice that seemed to speak, "Now this is my people. This is my

beloved bride." And when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the

mountains. The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages,

seemed to be rising. And as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every

direction. From the east and the west, from the north and the south, and they seemed to be forming

again this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ seemed to be rising first, I could hardly comprehend it.

It was so marvelous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of.

But as this body suddenly began to form, and take shape again, it took shape again in the form

of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful gorgeouswhite. Its garments were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all

ages seemed to be gathered into this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very

heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the Lord Jesus came, and became the head, and I heard

another clap of thunder that said, "This is my beloved bride for whom I have waited. She will come

forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time."

As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north, and I saw seemingly destruction: men

and women in anguish and crying out and buildings in destruction. Then I heard again, the fourth

voice that said, "Now is My wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth." From the ends of the

whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials ofGod's wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. I can remember it as though it happened a

moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing the cities, and whole nations

going down into destruction.

I could hear the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they

went into caves, but the caves in the mountains opened up.

They leaped into water, but the water would not drown them. There was nothing that could

destroy them. They wanted to take their lives, but they could not. Then again I turned my eyes to this

glorious sight, this body arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly, it began to lift

from the earth, and as it did, I awoke. What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries -

the last hour. Again on July 27, at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came

again exactly as it did before.

My life has been changed as I realized that we are living in that end time, for all over the world

God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a

churchianity. It is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord, and are going to

say, "I heard it so many times in the vision and according to my word it shall be done."

FALLEN CHURCH BATTLEGROUND

The Church has the answers through the deliverance ministry and the teaching of Christian character.

However, the Church of Jesus Christ must have spiritual eyes to discern the demons involved in a persons life.

Ministers must ask the Lord to them see which spirit is operating. Is it a devil? Is the human spirit controlling

the persons flesh? Is it an emotional spirit controlling the nervous system? Is it a mental spirit in control? Is

the Spirit of the Holy Spirit in control or is it a religious spirit of the Devil?

THE NAME OF JESUS

The name Jesus is the legal right of absolute authority. His power is Far above all rule and authority,

power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to

come, (Eph.1: 21). His power is above all power.

(Mk. 16:17-18) And these signs shall follow they that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;

they shall speak with new tongues; 18.They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shallnot hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

(Mk. 16:18), They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;

they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

PERILOUS TIMES

We are living in perilous times. Nevertheless, it is also a time for great light to shine into the darkness.

Jesus said, And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather

than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh

to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds

may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God, (Jn. 3:19-21).

Christian witnessing can be especially powerful because of the tremendous darkness that has spread

across the world. The Christian Church is surrounded by the enemy and infiltrated by New Age doctrines

camouflaged in Biblical language. To be successful, we must be a vigilant, but Word enlightened church.


26/36


The Church of Jesus Christ has been purchased with the precious blood of the Eternal Son of God,

therefore, like Him is eternal. Jesus said, upon this rock(Petra)I will build my church.The Church is not

built upon Peter, but it is built upon Christ. There is a divine person living in the church. Each member of the

church is indwelt by the Spirit of God. The Christian has a unique relationship with Jesus. Jesus is shown as the

Head of the church and the members are called His Body. He has given his believers power of attorney to act

against the power of Satan.

The Apostle Paul reports, that Jesus rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the

kingdom of his beloved Son. He writes in the beautiful poetic language of Jesus in (Col. 1:13), describing

Christs sovereignty. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the

kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins . .

. (Col. 1:13-14). Look at a passage that celebrates Christ as creator and sustains the universe, and He is shown

supreme over every living creature. He is the head of His body, the church, and the first to conquer death.

Although in Christ all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. Paul asserts, it was ultimately only through

his human sufferingthrough the blood of His cross, (Col. 1:19, 20), That he was able to reconcile all things

to God and make peace. i

Paul describes the power of Jesus. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:

for in Him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible whether thrones or

dominions or rulers or powers, (Col.1: 15-16). Jesus Christ is Lord and we worship Him in the Spirit of truth

according to (Jn. 8:32). Jesus must be at the center of our sermons and our lives that the world can truly see

that the Father sent Him.

[Who is the image of the invisible God ] eikoon tou Theou tou aoratou. The objects, here, as it is in the

parallel place in (Eph. 1:20-23), is to give a just view of the exaltation of the Redeemer. It is probable that, in

both cases, the design is to meet some erroneous opinion on this subject that prevailed in those churches, or

among those that claimed to be teachers there. See the Introduction to this Epistle, and compare the notes

at(Eph. 1:20-23). For the meaning of the phrase occurring here, "the image of the invisible God, (See the

notes at (Heb. 1:3, and 2 Cor. 4:4).

The meaning is, that he represents to mankind the perfections of God, as an image, figure, or drawing

does the object which it is made to resemble. See the word "image " eikoon - explained in the notes at (Heb

10:1). It properly denotes that which is a copy or delineation of a thing; which accurately and fully represents

it, in contra distinction from a rough sketch, or outline; compare (Rom. 8:29; 1 Cor. 11:7; 15:49).

The purpose noted in this passage is that the being and perfections of God are accurately and fully

represented by Christ. In what respects particularly he was thus a representative of God, the apostle proceeds

to state in the following verses, to wit, in his creative power, in his eternal existence, in his heir ship over the

universe, in the fullness that dwelt in him. This cannot refer to him merely as incarnate, for some of the things

affirmed of him pertained to him before his incarnation. The idea is, that in all things Christ fairly represents to

us the divine nature and perfections. God is manifest to us through him; (1 Tim. 3:16). We see God in him as

we see an object in that which is in all respects an exact copy of it. God is invisible. No eye has seen him, or can

see him; but in what Christ is, and has done in the works of creation and redemption, we have a fair and full

representation of what God is . . . ii

SEAT OF POWER

Jesus has been raised and seated at the right hand of Father God. He is ruling in power and distributing

His power to the ones who believe. (Eph. 1:17-23), That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,

may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your

understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches ofthe glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who

believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from

the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power,

and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to

come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

He has been raised by the Father and is sitting in His position of divine power and has put every power

under His feet. He is giving His power to usward who believes. This means that we can walk in his powerful

anointing and accomplish the very same results that He and His disciples did.

Each one of us is accountable to God to make certain Jesus Christ is residing in us, creating his life

through us, and that we have the witness of the Holy Spirit within us. (Rom. 8:16). "Examine yourselves, to see

whether you are in the faith; test yourselves," (2 Cor. 13:5). Every Christian emerges either trusting in

people, or trusting fully in God, that is, either cursed or blessed. "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man

that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be

like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good
