Cho from South Korea talked about faith being the fourth dimension but in the natural world there is a fourth dimension called time because a time is measurable based on the Sun and the moon and the stars there are seconds that make up minutes minutes that make up hours and that make up days and days that make up years therefore time enters into the fourth dimension now as we talk about the dimensions of God there are at least eight different dimensions of God now I want to write these down to make sure that I give them to you correctly in in in what they are there is length there is width there is depth all right there's your three dimensions but God also has the the dimension of sound because sound is measurable sound travels X number of miles per second then there is the dimension of light the Bible said God dwells in the light that no man can approach and we know that light travels at over 186,000 miles per second then there is the dimension of what we call past present and future why do I say that past present and future is dimension because God absolutely operates in the realm of what we call the past the realm of the present and also the realm of the future God is the only person that operates in those three and I'm going to talk about that as it relates to the kingdom of Satan in just a moment and give you a revelation that the Spirit of God gave me that I want you to hear today on the manna-fest telecast just keep watching and stay with me as I develop this in your hearing now when we talk about the the ultimate dimensions there's something called the string theory that says that there are a total of 11 11 different dimensions in the cosmic realm or in the cosmos now we're not going to talk about the string theory and we're not going to talk about all the different dimensions as it relates to the 11 different kinds but some scientists believe that if you can operate in 11 different dimensions that you could peel an orange from the inside out now that's enough about dimensions what I'd like to talk about is the advantage that Satan has over human beings there are two direct advantages that the adversary has over human beings and they are dimensions and I want to give you two dimensions of Satan that are an advantage and here's number one ready he operates on what I call unlimited distance he operates in the area of unlimited distance now what do I mean by Satan operates in the realm of unlimited distance there are three realms that he operates in now watch carefully we know that he operates under the earth he operates on the earth and the upper operates in the third heaven and here's the Scriptures for this in the book of Job when Satan was going before the throne of God to test Joe God asked Satan where have you been and Satan said I've been to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it if you do studies from the Old Testament you'll discover that there is a netherworld or an underworld and in this underworld there are chambers underneath the world where there are fallen angels that according to 2nd Peter chapter 2 and verse 4 are bound in chains of darkness and there are also there's also an area called Sheol or Hades which is the area of lost souls what we call Hell so satan has the access to the underworld according to job chapter 1 now if we come into Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 2 here was another dimension of Satan he's called the Prince of the power of the air there are two main greek words that can be used in the greek for the word air one is from the bottom of the ground to the top of mount olympus which is the highest mountain in greece many times mount olympus part of it the upper part of that will be covered by clouds so you only see part of it coming down to the ground that's the air that's one Greek word for air the second greek word for air is worthy from that the cloud part of mount olympus going up into the atmosphere now that when when it says that Satan is the Prince of the power of the air in Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 2 the greek word that is used is the word from the ground up to the top of mount olympus so there is a second dimension that he operates in now this is also the dimension of the principalities the powers the rulers of the darkness of this world and the wicked spirits in heavenly places that verse is found of course in the ephesians chapter 6 and verse 12 so we find out that he operates under the earth that the prince of this world or Satan operates underneath the earth and we also know that he operates in the realm of the third heaven now what do we mean by operating in the realm of the third heaven second Corinthians chapter 12 Paul says that paradise where righteous souls go at death is located in the third heaven there is the atmospheric heaven where the birds and the fowls of the air and the airplanes fly and man is given dominion over that heaven there is the second heavenly realm faeces - and - and Satan has a stronghold in that realm but there's a third level of heaven where God and the throne of God in the in the temple of God dwells paradise New Jerusalem etc and that is located in the area of the third heaven now we do know that Satan does have access to that realm based on the book of Revelation in Revelation chapter 12 the Bible tells us that Satan is the accuser of the Brethren before God day and night and therefore Satan has an access into the third heaven realm to be accuser to be an accuser and a slander of those in the Assembly or the church or the believers now if you look at this that's three realms three dimensions so what makes him have an advantage is that he has an advantage under the earth and advantage of being able to be on the earth the advantage of being able to be in the upper atmosphere and the advantage of having access limited access I may add to the realm of the third heaven to be the accuser of the Brethren now if we were to say that we can counter that how do we counter that power of the dimension that Satan has of being now not omnipresent don't get me wrong but having access to three different dimensions well first of all it's it's useless for us to have any authority or dimension under the earth because that's the realm of fallen angels and fallen spirits or lost spirits but on the earth jesus said all power is given unto me both in heaven and in earth and that word power in the greek is the word for authority so jesus is declared i have authority over over an all of heaven and also what is on the earth and the Bic of the Bible in Philippians says every knee shall bow of things in heaven things under the earth and things on the earth and every tongue shall confess that Christ is Lord so in other words our authority that comes through the power of the name of Yeshua or the power of the name of Christ Jesus Christ is the counter to the ability of the enemy to operate in those three dimensions and then we discover that in the third heaven when he operates is the accuser of the Brethren that we have according to the Bible and ad and that word there in the Greek means a lawyer who stands and represents us in the courts of heaven so if we sin the Bible said we have an advocate or a lawyer with the father who presents our case and gets our case dismissed in the heavenly Court through the power of his own blood the blood of Jesus Christ so remember this that for those particular dimensions that Satan operates in the under the earth on the earth in this in the second heaven of Prince of the power of the air in the third heaven we have authority through the name of Jesus Christ and we have advocate in heaven now I want to give you the second dimension that Satan can operate in and that is this he has the advantage of invisibility the advantage of invisibility now let me explain to you this is something the Holy Spirit gave me I want all the people that attend church and if you've ever had a problem in your local church to come up I want you to hear what I'm about to say one of the greatest advantages that the enemy has and the Bible says that we're not to were to understand his devices because he will get an advantage of us if we don't understand his devices but one of the greatest advantages he has is this the air the realm of invisibility now why is that important because I cannot see angels angels are spirits I cannot see with my natural eyes God because God is a spirit I cannot see with my natural eye demons and I cannot see with my natural eyes Satan now the reason I say that's an advantage for him is that if he operates if he performs a battle plan if he does a strategy many times we are ignorant that it came from him in Matthew's Gospel Satan is called the tempter therefore he is the source of temptation but many times people don't understand that the temptations coming from the adversary and there have been battles that churches have fought and I don't want to go into places I have been experiences I've had because there'll be people watching the program from those churches and I don't like to bring those things up but I have known of churches that had church splits just split right down the middle and they were battling it as though it were a flesh and blood battle they were faintly thought they were battling a pastor they thought they were battling an erring church member when in reality if we go into the book of Revelation it's called the depths of Satan and it's really interesting that that were depth in the book of Revelation is the word where we get the word bath from Beto's which is where we get the word bath from so the you know we someone who says look at them they're going underwater that business is going underwater well that's that would be considered the word depths in the Greek because in other words what it's telling us there is we do not understand the complexity of the kingdom of darkness and many times I'll give an example you know when when Peter looked at Jesus in Matthew's Gospel and said thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God and then just several verses later Jesus revealed to them he was going to suffer and Peter then jumps out and says Oh be it far removed from the Lord it will not happen and Jesus looked at Peter and said get thee behind me Satan now Jesus understood that that phrase was from the adversary and not actually from Peter that's the point I'm making many times we don't realize that that which we're dealing with is coming from the the enemy because he's invisible we see the person behind it we see the church member behind it we see the maybe the earring pastor behind it not realizing that the entire strategy is a strategy of Satan himself so there is the there is the advantage the Satan has of being able to be not omnipresent but in different dimensions at different times but we have a powerful victory that we can encounter with that now when it comes to his ability of being completely invisible how do we detect and how do we know that something has come from him when it is operated in the realm of invisibility well the Bible tells us that we're not ignorant of his device devices and that greek word there in corinthians means his methods his strategy those things which he does so the Holy Spirit is given to us to be able to use what's called discern discernment or discerning of spirits first Corinthians chapter 12 7 through 10 list 9 gives you the spirit and one of those 9 gives you the spirit is the ability of called discerning of spirits then we often say the gift of discernment that's really a misnomer that's not the correct terminology or concept there it's discerning of spirits meaning the spirit of men the spirit of angels who are spirits the Spirit of God a satanic powers which are also wicked and evil on clean spirits there's an ability to discern what is coming from the enemy and so God has given us the gifts of the Spirit in order to be able to counter those things that Satan would try to do now one of the things that the Lord wanted me to share with you is there is a great advantage a great advantage that you have through the Holy Spirit I love this now this is the greatest part of the message writer then I hope you've just stayed with this all the way to this point because this is powerful Satan can only operate however in to earthly realms at one time and that is the realm of the past and the realm of the present now how does the adversary operate in the realm of the past he does it through condemnation of something you previously did he does it through guilt of something you previously did the feeling of condemnation over something you previously did so one of Satan's areas of rent of operations that he can be very effective in and he shouldn't be and he only is because we were ignorant of what God can do through us through the Holy Spirit is the realm of operating in the past and making you dwell in your past failures now how Satan operates in the present is simply this that he operates in the realm of fear God fear operates in the nail most people have no fear of what happened yesterday they have a fear of the present or they have the fear of what's going to happen in the future now here's where you have a great advantage over the adversary I want you to hear this because this is very powerful you can deal with your past through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ the Bible says in Romans 8 there is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit so if the Spirit of God dwells in you then you do not have to worry about what has happened in your past if your past has been covered by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and if you believe that you have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb now that also takes care of shame and it also takes care of guilt when the enemy tries to bring up your past remind him of his future I mean you you know you if you want to remind him of his past you could tell him he's an unemployed cherub you know who got booted out of heaven long time ago but if you want to talk about the the the present the Lord covers the present but here's the great thing there's only one person one one great being God himself the Holy Spirit Jesus Christ they are able to go into your future and take care of your future before you ever get there you know most of you know that we love to study Bible prophecy in what is Bible prophecy Bible prophecy is the ability to reveal to people what is going to happen in the future prophecy is the headlines written in advance now how are we able to take the Word of God and make predictions based on certain things related to Bible prophecy we're able to do that because God has stepped out into the future I mean God says to Abraham when he's 75 years of age you're going to have a son that sons going to be a great nation and many nations shall come out of that seed well of course we know that has been fulfilled through the nation of Israel and the spiritual seed of Abraham is of course the believers who have been born again through Christ so these things are very very very powerful extremely very very very powerful because of the ability of Almighty God to to go into the future to step into the future and to reveal to us the future in advance now this is something that I think is is absolutely tremendous that everybody needs to be aware of and that is that in all of these dimensions how does God look at your warfare how does God look at your situation how does he look at your testing in your trials the Bible says this listen to this he will make a way of escape that you will be able to bear it he will either take you into the fire and preserve you in the midst of the fire or he will allow you to go through a den of lions like he did Daniel and preserve you in the midst of the den of lions and sometimes God can deliver you before the trial begins sometimes he will deliver you in the right in the middle of the trial and sometimes you will go through the trial but you will come out on the other side so this is what I want to tell you today the Lord that the way the adversary looks at your battle is he can know your past the adversary can know your present situation but listen carefully here's the revelation he cannot determine the outcome of anything he tries to put you through and I'm going to say it again this is the message today in the eyes of the adversary he can plan something against you he can actually create situations to make those things happen but he cannot determine the outcome you and God alone can determine the outcome of your situation you have the power to choose between right and wrong good and bad dark and light evil and what is what is positive and negative some people say it that way but you have the power to choose and if you have the power to choose that means that you and the Lord can determine an outcome that the enemy has absolutely no control over and so this is why it's important that you operate in God's word that you know what God's Word says about you that you know what God's Word says about your situation this is how you're not ignorant of the enemy's devices is by knowing the Word of God and the power of God's Word and so I want to encourage you today to not worry about your past put it under the blood to not worry about your present because the Lord is with you you all you do is pray thy will be done give me this day my daily bread my daily provision and you look into the future knowing that the Lord has already been in your future and he's already predetermined a good outcome for you and what you have to do is align yourself with the purpose and the will of God believing that that good outcome has been predetermined and has been three plan and that God is going to go with you now again I'm here in the city of Jerusalem at a park bench I just felt like sitting down at a park bench and teaching and there's an olive tree right above me and the sun's about to hit the leaves of those olive trees and put a shadow all over my face and and I know it's

meeting it's the biggest camp meeting all year long but you'll attend Ron Carpenter and John Kilpatrick and Tommy Bates and myself for hosting the preaching part of it so please keep that in mind if you will I also want to just make mention that in the seasons and times that we're living in I received a text from a friend of mine who has a lot of prophetic teaching that he does and he was being criticized for saying that Jesus was going to return based on certain signs it seems that there is this split in the body of Christ and I regret that it's there but it's always been there to an extent of people who believe that Christ is coming soon based on the evidence of the prophecies of both the old New Testament and then there are those who feel like that this is an event that's not even going to happen or it's not going to happen for another thousand years I want to talk for just about one minute to the first generation preachers many of you pastored large churches please keep in mind that when everything is going great you can just preach everybody happy and you know kind of touch your field and everybody goes home smiling when it the tragedies happen and but the Bible says they're going to whether you deny them or not it's not going to stop it people in these churches are gonna want answers pastors it's important that you share with people the prophetic truth of what the Bible says is going to take place the book of Revelation chapter 4 through chapter 19 has not yet happened I know there's historical interpretations but when you study the historical interpretations which I have there's too many holes in their theory you said what about that verse from the Old Testament that ties in there what about that first line on line precept upon precept but I want to encourage young ministers do not be afraid of what people think do not be afraid of the criticism of standing up and saying we're going to look at the future according to the Bible and we're going to look at the great things that are planned that Kingdom for a thousand years we're going to rule in but we're also gonna have to look at the days ahead that the Bible talks about a man called the Antichrist and his ten nation Confederacy folks this is going to happen is not happening history anyway I'm running out of time let's go to perrystone.org for more information god bless you this
