Translated from the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light
Once I was caught up in an open vision, in which, I was suddenly in a dark and eary world or realm! It felt like something could jump out from behind every dark shadow or from behind any rock! I asked the Lord Jesus: "Where am I?" Then the answer came to me from the Lord Jesus, through the Holy Spirit: "What are you doing here?" Immediately I realized that I was in the second heaven, which is known as the kingdom of dark, where the demon spirit of the air lives! (Eph 2:1-3)
The Lord spoke to me again and told me to look up into the heavens! As I looked up, I saw a bright light, high up in the heavens. Then the Lord said to me in the words of the apostle Paul: "[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,..." (Col 1:13 AMP)
Then the Lord Jesus said to me: "Stop fighting the devil on the devil's territory!"
When an eagle attacks it prey, a deadly and poisonous snake, on the ground, the snake's natural habitat, it has a great advantage over the eagle. But, when the eagle, with lightning speed, catches the snake on the ground and lifts it high up into the sky, the snake has no balance and looses its ability to effectively attack the eagle. Though it might strike at the eagle, the eagle, by letting the snake hang in the sky, with a tight grip in its claws, the eagle can easily overpower its prey. It is the same with us: When we try to fight the devil in His kingdom, we WILL loose the battle! We might win some, but we will loose! The devil has legal right, when there is sin in our lives! Therefore, we must understand, that which the apostle Peter wrote:
"He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed." (1Pet 2:24 AMP)
We must cease to exist to SIN, because NOW we are a son of God! IN CHRIST, we have died to sin! SIN is dead to us! The only way to operate in the kingdom of the power of the air, is to be alive to sin! There are two ways to die to sin! First, when we fully accept the righteousness of God, provided in Christ, we are dead to sin and hidden in God! NO death, sickness or any force of the kingdom of darkness has any dominion over us! Second, by living a perfectly holy, righteous and sinless life! When we live according to all God's requirements, perfectly keeping the moral law, which is based on love, we can also escape the legal right the devil has upon us. This was the very reason WHY Jesus came, to free us from that which we could not free ourselves, because of the power of sin over all mankind. Thus if any try to be righteous by His own righteousness will burn out and finally fail, although he might have SOME momentary victory and experience of momentary glory! When the love of God, revealed through the righteousness of Christ, does not lead to holiness and a righteous and overcoming life, we have received the grace of God in vain, we have deceived ourselves and have not understood the real purpose of the goodness and the kindness of God, mercy, which was intended to lead us to repentance.
When we realize WHERE we are seated; that we are NOW seated in the kingdom of LIGHT, then we have dominion over sin and sickness and over all the works of the devil!
Let's stop trying to fight the devil through our own works of righteousness, based on the law’s righteousness! Let us except God's righteousness, which God in His great love paid for us, paying a very intense and expensive price, to purchase us from the power of the kingdom of darkness.
Light is stronger than darkness! Darkness will never be able to put out 'The Light'! We are SONS OF LIGHT, therefore let us walk in the Light of the glory of God's love, and we will not have to fight any devil anymore, because the battle has been won! Now we merely need to STAND in what has been accomplished through the LOVE of God, revealed in Christ Jesus, through the cross!
