Dear Barry : I might ramble a little because my thoughts are not solid right now but I'll start anyway and see where this goes.
Isaiah 14: 12 How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer son of the morning how art thou cut down to the ground which didst weaken the nations.
I believe that this scripture tells us that Lucifer once had dominion on earth over what I feel were pre Adamite men and nations.Isaiah 14:14 when Lucifer says he will 'ascend above the heights of the clouds' demonstrates to me that he was under the clouds of the earth.
Look at Colossians 1: 16 " 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 "
Let's put another piece of the puzzle in place. Clearly this demonstrates that initially in the PRE chaotic age that God placed thrones or dominions or whatever you wish to call them in power on what I believe were individual planets in the cosmos. It could have been groups of planets or regions in galaxies..dont know .... really dont care but Lucufer the 'morning star' with dominion over something that included earth or maybe only earth but he was in charge.
So it was from this platform of power that Lucifer chose to mount his ascention to heaven to exalt himself and overthrow God. Clearly he persuaded other angelic rulers to follow him and not only this but first created rebellion on the earth over those subjects (men) that (nations) he ruled over.
Obviously God chose to flood the earth for in Genesis 1:2 the earth was without form or void and covered in water. So that earthly civilization was wiped out. Then God tells Adam to RE plenish the earth not to plenish it right ..so it had to be that there were pre Adamite civilizations on the earth. Of course Noah:: again God flooded the earth, promised not to do it again , I guess twice was enough !.
How many times have I said here that in spiritual warfare that the enemy is territorial---if you dont get anything tonight get that fact. I guess it goes back to the giving of planets to angels and dividing those planets into nations....I believe that there are powerful demonic powers assigned to the USA ..We should as an intercessory thread always lift up our nation and our leaders ,FIRST !! The enemy will try us to do the opposite, worry about ourselves first.
So Lucifer wanted to ascend to heaven , scripturely in the North,so heaven is a literal planet North of us in the heavens...Psalms 75:6 David speaks that "PROMOTION cometh neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south" David left out 'north' because that is where he knew promotion cometh...from heaven in the north.
Well where am I going with all this ..it is against this backdrop that Adam, and Abraham and Noah and the prophets, and the Levitical priesthood...then the desciples then the church , THEN US arrive on the scene. I mean did God really know what He was doing? Allowing mortals like us to go straight in , directly into the throne room, Lucifer has access, STILL..Christ is sitting there...Holy Spirit is not there, HE'S on the earth right. And there we are. Our prayers are directed right in there. Little ole me , little ole you .
I mean. How much better does it get than this. Its like me going before town council, it might take me a year ,it might take me two or three years ; but I know as long as I have access to Town Council, keep on bugging them, persuading them, talking to them , I know sooner or later I'll get exactly what I want.
When I pray Barry I dont think about what to say, don't you either.I don't think about how I'm going to say it. Oh yes David said some wonderful prayers , Abraham did too Jacob did. I dont sit there saying well so and so said it this way and God answered, so and so has a great way to approach God. First and Last I'm just thankful that I have access because without access it wouldn't matter . I could praise God for a million years to just have been given the access. Access is what it is all about. Access. Access. Access. Now go do your homework and write the best study lesson that that church has ever heard. In Christ .gregor |
