Greetings in the name of our healing savoir. I wish I could write a book on 'Why Its Not Easy'.
In the 10th Chap of Daniel vs 13 " But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 21 days" .Paul writes in Eph 6:12 about the four levels of satanic activity. We battle .
1. Principalities 2. Powers or Authorities 3. Rulers of darkness 4. Spiritual wickedness in high places
In the Greek these are known as 'archas', the highest ranking fallen angels as in daniel Chap 10, then 'exousias' , these execute the orders of the the chief rulers, then 'kosmokratopas' or world rulers of darkness and finally 'pneumatika ponerias' or spiritual wickedness in high places or the heavenlies or 'epouranois'.
But yet in Daniel we see that God was aware of the prayer the first day. Then we see in Deut 32:8 that boundary lines are drawn according to the numbers of angels of God .
What I am giving you is the heirarchy in angelic warfare. The first level of Principalities is the literal warfare over the souls of individual nations. I feel that spiritual OPPRESSION comes in at the 3rd level. (Rulers of darkness.) At this level there is not solely disease loosed but certain diseases, certain accidents , certain calamities, on certain groups certain areas, certain counties, certain neighborhoods certain families. Remember the plane crash in the same neighborhood where 100's had already been lost in the WTC !!
This past year there was a rash of unspecific digestive tract maladies.....that is now over but one new rash of satanic activity is eye problems. My wife has been having a problem for 2 months now . Literally a hole was eaten in her eye by we know not what. It has now healed . Praise God.
But once you start seeing a pattern you start knowing how to pray. Gods' people are solely given the power to bind and loose upon the earth..so if you pray the wrong thing to begin with ..the enemy brings in reinforcements and time is extended.The battle intensifies. That is why a double minded man receives nothing. You all have seen me pray here many times. My usual method of attack is to hit it hard the first time , cover all the bases and go on. Rarely do I come back over and over. Then I wait. I try to see how the enemy is regrouping and hit it hard the second time if necessary. But done correctly it shouldn't take but a few times.
Another thing to consider is that going back to Jacob the interaction between heaven and earth were those angels ascending and descending, then again in Zachariah the visions of the angels riding those spiritual beasts or horses, going to a fro upon the earth, Chap 1 vs 8. A man riding upon a red horsestood among the myrtle trees behind him red horses, speckled horses, and white . God appeared as an angel, the angels appeared as men...one step down so Zacharial could relate to both.but they waht ? walk to and fro upon the earth---and reported back to God ..but angels are not omnipresent, they have to walk to and fro upon the earth and report back to God ..all this takes time...not time in eternity you understand , that is where many of give up and miss the mark, but time in earth time. There is no time in eternity. That saying a day is as a thousand years , a thousand years as a day..is a little misleading in my opinion..I think what god is telling us is that in eternity time makes no difference. If God ( excuse me Lord ) got 4 days off when Lazarus died ( Lord , I know you did not get 4 days off )then He makes it up in another way...or He planned it that way.
So when the road gets steep and the fog starts rolling in remember that God has everything under control. He heard your first cry. Angels are being marshalled and deputized just for you, reinforcements are being brought up. Your victory has already been spoken,envisioned and sealed; dont give up dont ever give up.In Christ .gregor |
