Let's
Take the Mountain!
|
Matthew
21:21-22 AMP
And
Jesus answered them, Truly I say to
you, if you have faith (a firm
relying trust)
and do not doubt, you
will not only do what has been done
to the fig
tree, but even
if you say to this
mountain, Be taken up and cast into
the
sea, it will be done.
And
whatever you ask for in prayer, having
faith and [really] believing,
you will receive.

Why
is
spiritual warfare ever
necessary since Christ
defeated the
devil, Satan, and his
demonic spirits of the
kingdom of darkness?
The
Bible
reveals
that Christ came to
destroy the works of the
devil...
take
away
his
power, and disarm him.
Is
not
the
Body of Christ delivered
from Satan's
power?
Walk
with
us
as we discover the
biblical principles and
truths about
these
questions....
Satan's
destruction
wasn't
a literal annihilation
of the demonic prince
of the
air.
It
was
a breaking of his
"legal" rule and
authority.
Remember
that
Adam lost
the authority of God
when he disobeyed
the
command "Do Not Eat
from the Tree of the
Knowledge of Good
and Evil."

Have
you ever seen a
scripture verse
that states, Christ
delivered us
from
Satan's power? No!
The Bible states Christ
delivered from the
devils' authority
(Greek: exousia).
He
delivered us
from the devil's
"legal
right" to use his power (Greek:
exousia)
on us.
Do you think that settles
the questions above?
No.
Let us look at some
scriptures so we have the
mind of Christ on the
subject...
Colossians
2:15 AMP
[God]
disarmed
the
principalities
and powers that were
ranged
against us
and made a bold display
and public example of
them,
in
triumphing over them in
Him and in it [the cross].
The
word "disarmed" (Greek:
apekduomai) means Christ
divested
Himself
of the rulers and
authorities. He
established His rule over
them and
took away their "legal
rights." He did not
kill them.
Colossians
1:11-13
AMP
(Note:
The
exercise
of intercessory
prayer)
[We
pray] that you may be
invigorated and
strengthened with all
power
according to the might of
His glory, [to exercise]
every
kind of
endurance
and patience (perseverance
and forbearance)
with joy,
{Why
are we
given this power (Greek:
exousia)?
12
Giving
thanks
to
the Father, Who has
qualified and made us fit
to
share the
portion which is the
inheritance of the saints
(God's
holy
people) in
the Light.
{That
we might exercise our
inheritance in the Light
of
Christ!}!!
13[The
Father] has delivered and
drawn us to Himself
out of the
control and
the dominion (Greek:
exousia)
of darkness and
has
transferred
us
into the kingdom of the
Son of His love,
Luke 10:19-20 AMP
Behold!
I
have
given
you authority (Greek:
exousia)
and power
(Greek:exousia)
to trample upon
serpents and
scorpions, and
[physical and mental
strength and ability] over
all
the power
(Greek:
exousia)
that the enemy
[possesses]; and nothing
shall in
any
way harm you.
20 Nevertheless, do not
rejoice at this, that
the spirits are subject
to you, but rejoice that
your names are
enrolled in
heaven.
Power
was never the issue
between God and
Satan.
Remember that
God "kicked Lucifer" out
of heaven with a third
of
the rebellious angels who
teamed with the "pride"
and plan
of the most
beautiful cheribum in
heaven.
It is the rebellious
spirit of man called the
"pride of life," "lust of
the flesh" and "lust of
the eye"that keeps one
from repenting
and
receiving the Lord Jesus
Christ and His Kingdom of
Light...
the
culture of righteousness.
Rebellious spirits deny
the power of the
Gospel.
{Want
to learn why? That's
Radical!}
Authority (Greek:
exousia)
was
the
issue
with Lucifer
and with the
"Serpent" in the Garden of
Paradise.
Satan is still power
hungry.
The authority Satan had
obtained through
deception, omission,
and lying ... was a "legal
authority."
It had been
given to
Adam
and
Eve.
God gave them a "legally
binding word"...
dominion
over the creation.
The Lord Jesus did not
come to get back any
authority, nor did he
remove
Satan's power. He
came as a man to
regain the
authority
Adam
lost to the "Serpent" and
crush his headship
over the
earth!
Now we
are beginning to "see"
through spiritual
eyes the revelation
of
Gen 3:15 AMP
15 And I
will put enmity
between you
and the woman,
and between
your
offspring and
her Offspring;
He will bruise
and
tread your
head
underfoot, and
you will lie in
wait and
bruise His heel.
The
woman
is
the Church and
her Offspring
are
the children of
the
New
Birth,
the
spiritual
New
Creation.
Satan's
offspring are
those
who
live inthe
kingdom of
darkness in the
"sin"
and lawless
realm.
Christ came to
take the
authority
of headship back
from
Satan
"bruising,"
destroying his
work.
Christ came that
we may be lights
to
the world of
darkness walking
in His Name in
which there is
all
authortiy and
power!
Satan
lies in wait of
the offspring of
the
Gospel.
Mark
4:15 AMP
15 The
ones along the
path are those
who have the
Word sown
[in their
hearts], but
when they hear,
Satan
comes at once
and
[by force] takes
away the message
which is
sown in them.
(1 Peter
5:8)
Satan
prowls like a
"roaring
lion" instilling
fear, and
destruction
wherever he can.
(Ephesians
6:16)
He
still
has
"firey darts"
.
If you do not
believe these
truths, try
going
without your
spiritual
armor.
Ephesians
6:10-20
NKJV
Finally, my
brethren, be
strong in the
Lord and in the
power of His
might.
11
Put
on the whole
armor of God,
that you may be
able to stand
against the
Wiles
of the devil.
12
For
we
do not wrestle
against flesh
and blood,
but against
principalities,
against
powers, against
the rulers
of the darkness
of
this age,
against
spiritual
hosts of
wickedness in
the heavenly
places.
13
Therefore
take
up the whole
armor of God,
that
you may be able
to
withstand
in
the evil day,
and having done
all, to stand.
14
Stand
therefore,
having girded
your waist with
truth, having
put
on
the breastplate
of
righteousness,
15
and
having
shod your feet
with the
preparation of
the gospel of
peace;
16
above
all,
taking the
shield of faith
with which
you will be able
to
quench all
the
fiery Darts of
the wicked
one.17 And take
the helmet
of
salvation, and the
sword of the
Spirit, which
is the word of
God;
18 praying
always with all
prayer and
supplication in
the Spirit,
being watchful
to this end with
all
perseverance and
supplication
for all the
saints
--
19
and
for
me, that
utterance may be
given to me,
that I may open
my
mouth boldly
to
make known the
mystery of the
gospel,
Intercessory
prayer
is
the
spiritual weapon
God has
given to the
"WOMAN,"
the
Bride
of Christ to
break Satan's
activities in
the
affairs of the
New Creation.
Jesus gave us
His
authority...
in
His Name
and in His Blood
to bruise
the
headship and
rule of
demonic activity
in our
lives and the
lives of others
oppressed by
the enemy.
Mark
16:17-18 NKJV
And
these
signs
will
follow those who believe:
In
My
name they
will cast out demons; they
will speak with new
tongues;
18 they will take up
serpents; and if they
drink anything deadly,
it will by no
means hurt them; they will
lay hands on the sick,
and they will recover."
What Satan and his demonic
horde lost was the
right (authority)
to use his powers (Greek: exousia) on those who
make Jesus
Christ, Lord and walk in
the Law of the Spirit.
Keep
in
mind that Satan is a
thief and
a lawbreaker.
He will use his power or abilities
on us in anyway he
can.
We must understand and
exercise
intercessory
prayer
to thwart his
influence by the
authority that
Christ has given
us. We do
not
defeat
Satan. Jesus
Christ
defeated him as we have
examined
in our study.
We
only have
authority and power
through our Lord's work
and
His Name.
Always
remember
that
AUTHORITY
is the
issue!
Power
does
the
work. Authority
controls the power!
Daniel
7:13-14
KJV
I saw in the night
visions, and, behold,
one like the Son of man
came with the clouds
of heaven, and came to
the Ancient of
days,
and
they brought him near
before him.
14
And
there
was given him dominion,
and
glory, and a kingdom,
that all people,
nations, and languages,
should serve him:
his
dominion is an everlasting
dominion, which shall
not pass away,
and
his kingdom that
which
shall not be
destroyed.
Through
intercessory
prayer
the
unseen
battles in the
heavenlies
decides the outcome
and the victories we
experience. The Lord
Jesus has given us
the
scepter or rod of
kingship, His
headship
as
head of the WOMAN...His
Bride. His
authority is not
the power
we
exercise on the physical
realm
of the mountain
battlefield.
It is the
authority is exercised
on the Mountain of
God
(Spiritual Mt.Zion) that
decides the
victory!
Authority
has
always
been
the issue; power never
has been!
Not by
might, nor by power, but
by my Spirit, says the
Lord!
Matthew 28:18-20 AMP
Jesus
approached
and,
breaking the silence,
said to them,
All
authority
(all
power of rule) in
heaven and on earth has
been
given to Me.
19
Go
then and make disciples
of all the
nations, baptizing them
into the name of the
Father and of the Son
and of the Holy
Spirit,
20
Teaching
them
to observe everything
that I have commanded
you, and behold, I am
with you all the days (
perpetually,
uniformly,
and on every
occasion),
to
the [very] close and
consummation of
the
age.Amen
(so
let
it
be).
Let's
Take
the Mountain!
May
God cover you with His
presence,
