I'm going to tackle a very controversial, I
right away want to warn you, some of you will disagree with me on that and that's okay. I just
ask you that you open your mind, and that you go in the Scriptures with me. And that for those of
you who are huge evangelists of your position, that you study it a little bit
more because high chances are, you don't know or don't have a scriptural
basis for the practice that some of you hold. This one is going to start with cosmic
conflicts. So I'm going to title this topic: Cosmic Conflict. I'm going to deal with
second heaven warfare, my stance on it, and I'm gonna tell you that from the
beginning for you not to dabble in that. And then in the next session, I'm going to
deal with what you and I were called to do, and that is to fight demons and remove them out of
people. Not to remove demons out of territories. In a nutshell, that's what I'm gonna
say. I was involved, in the beginning of our ministry, in the second heaven
warfare. How that looks like is Friday night, because something is magic about Friday
night, 12 o'clock. I don't know where I heard about 12 o'clock, but something about
12 o'clock, and witches and portals. And so what we would do in being a youth pastor
is we would gather all of the youth, and on Friday night we would sometimes take a time of
fast, and we would go and attack principalities. We would fight against this ruling spirits of our
regions, believing that that's what the secret of revival is at. So of course yell, scream.
You know do the whole nine yards, curse them, and I mean literally like we're little punks, you
know 15 year olds. But we already like, pow pow. You know, like shoot, shoot at them. And of course
and then we upgraded our authority by buying virgin oil, and then going to clubs and pouring
it in front of the clubs, closing the portals. So really you know deep stuff,
that only deep people understand. And then it got to a little bit deeper
where we did the seven day march. And then you march on the seventh
day, seven times and then you make a shout so that the walls will come down. We
didn't want the physical walls to come down, but we wouldn't mind if they did. And so
we would break the walls down in the spirit realm so that we could finally penetrate our
community. Now does it work? Absolutely not. It didn't work for us. 99% of those of
you who do that, it makes no difference in your community. The only thing it does, it
actually creates a problem for you personally. I've witnessed majority, I'm not saying every
person, majority of people who are involved in second heaven warfare have needless
casualties, they could have avoided. These casualties show up in their finances, these
casualties show up in their car accidents, that God did not license. They simply, I believe,
again we can disagree in that, but I believe it's stepping out of your jurisdiction. So what I'm
going to do in this is I'm going to take you from the beginning, and share with you 10 simple
thoughts about principalities. I will give you notes, so you're going to have to kind of work
with me, and I'm also going to talk mainly. I'm not going to preach, meaning I'm not going to
scream. For some of you, you'll be like, praise God. And so for others of you who need to
stay awake, I apologize. You might have to just re-listen to that, take a nap,
God bless you. I will not judge you. All right. I want us to read Deuteronomy 32:8 in
a translation ESV. We will have verses, hopefully on the back with us, amen. Deuteronomy 32:8.
Now, I'm going to read to you NLT translation. This is very important because this is going to
set up the foundation of where the principalities came from. Now this is one of the views,
we don't know a hundred percent for sure, but based on these verse I'm gonna draw
my conclusion. And NLT says the following: This is going to make sense in just a moment.
Point number one. God scattered everyone over the face of the earth. So write that down. I'm
gonna just build layer upon layer. God scattered everyone over the face of all the earth.
Genesis 11:9, it says the following: Point number two. God divided
nations, and gave them to His sons. God divided nations, and gave them to His
sons. Deuteronomy 32:8-9. I'm gonna read again: So, Deuteronomy says that when
God scattered the nations, He divided them, and He put His sons, elohim.
This is not speaking about Jacob's sons, God's sons who are part of His divine
counsel, in charge of the nations. We read in Genesis that it was God who
scattered people abroad, and He made nations. In Deuteronomy, we get a curtain being pulled
away and we see that God. Now some of the New King James says that God allotted to the sons of Jacob.
That's not a proper translation. The original translation, and it's corrected, and some of
you have a footnote in your Bible where it says, the sons of God, not the sons of Jacob. And then
in the original language, it says the sons of God. So, and Dr Michael Heiser has a book called
"Unseen Realm" where he explains that way deeper. He kind of popularized that view, and I'm gonna
pretty much kind of go on that train of thought. There was more than one Rebellion. Not only the
rebellion of Satan rebelling against God. Most likely there was a second rebellion in Genesis
chapter 6, where the sons of God left their domain and slept with women and they got locked in this
particular place. And there was probably a third rebellion. This is the rebellion, that again I'm
using the words maybe and probably, because we don't know a hundred percent sure. Based on this
verse, I take this stance, and it's gonna make sense a little bit more right now when we go to
the New Testament. The third rebellion, Michael Heiser, Dr Michael Heiser argues for that is that
God puts His sons, from His divine counsel, over different nations of the world. Which makes sense
in Deuteronomy world view, where the Bible says He divides the nations and He puts His sons over
it. But He himself takes Jacob as His inheritance. Now why would God do that? Because God was
planning to use a nation to bring a seed of a woman, who will crush the head of the serpent.
But God puts the nations under the rulership of His sons. Who are His sons? They are these
divine beings, in His divine counsel. Point number three .God's sons, elohim, or gods who
were assigned to those nations, became corrupt. They refused to judge, they became abusing, and they enslaved and try to seduce even
Israel from their God. Psalm 82:1-2 ESV. Psalm 82:6-7. Now there's different arguments. Some people say
that this verse speaks of us as humans. I will beg to differ that this is speaking to elohims.
This is speaking to gods, the sons of God because the same is used for when Satan came in the
presence of God. The Bible says that the sons of God were there. You and I were not there. So it
speaks of some other being, supernatural celestial beings who are part of God's divine counsel.
God's spiritual family. So God not only has a human family, God also has a spiritual family and
they're composed in his counsel. So God takes the place in His counsel and God starts rebuking
His sons, and says pretty much, you're not fulfilling your duties over those nations. Now,
read the history. What happened to every nation is every nation started to worship different
myths. We call it myths, they were not myths. Every nation that was under a spiritual being
assigned by God, that spiritual being, a spiritual son of God started to teach those nations,
instead of worshiping God, to worship them. And not only to worship them, that's where
the Greek mythology, that's where the Chinese mythology came. None of them were fake stuff.
This are real demonic principalities, filling the nations they are responsible over with their
doctrine, to distract creation from their Creator, and to worship them. So God in His counsel, I'm
going to read that verse again. Psalm 82:1. God is rebuking His sons.
He's saying, you went rogue. He said, what you did was wrong. You
were not assigned over those nations to do that. And then He says, you will die like
mortals. We all are gonna die like mortals. That's not a punishment to us because we're
all fallen already. So I do believe that it's speaking of some other celestial beings that the
Lord is rebuking, and saying that their doom is going to come. What I want you to notice, is
He doesn't remove them from their position. He rebukes them, He judges
them, but they're not removed. So let's go to point number four. God's sons,
these spiritual sons in Deuteronomy chapter 2, led the nations to worship them
instead of God. As I mentioned that, let's read the verse. Deuteronomy 32:16-17. "They
provoked Him, God, to jealousy with foreign; gods with abominations they provoked Him to
anger. They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to god's they did not know, to new gods, new
arrivals that your fathers did not fear." So not only these Gods taught the nations
witchcraft, taught the nations immorality, taught the nations to worship them. These
gods infringed into God's territory, Israel. To try to seduce God's people, that the Lord was
over, that they will worship them instead of Him. And God comes to the children of
Israel, and He says, you guys worshiped, I want you to notice, He's not talking about
some statues. He says, you worship gods, new gods and new arrivals. These are not
just myths. These are spiritual entities so powerful they're not entering people in
here, they're twisting their world view, they're mixing their worship and they're
drawing their allegiance to themselves. Number six. Number five, I apologize. Number
five. Thank you for keeping score. I was just checking if you guys were writing it down. Note
takers are history makers. Come on somebody. Number five. God judged the gods of
Egypt for mistreating His children. God judged the gods of Egypt for mistreating His
children. If the gods of Egypt were mere idols, Moses could have just hit them with his hammer.
These were not idols, meaning just a human make. There were forces behind them that God execute
judgment on. Exodus 12:12 it says, "For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and
I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both men and the beasts," and I want you
to see this, "And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment." Now if you study the
history of Egypt, and last year me and my wife had a chance to go and visit Egypt, and spend our
vacation you know study all their weird gods, and Pharaohs, and all of that stuff. Egypt had gods
that they worship. If you look at every plague, do the research. Every plague God did was
a direct assault on one of Egypt's gods. God Ra, you know the god of light, God
brought darkness. Frogs was one of their gods. God brought the frogs on them. Nile was another
one, and then God polluted that. God says, I brought judgment on all. One of the reasons
there was ten of those plagues is because they had more than one god, and God wanted to
make sure every god of Egypt gets a black eye. But I want you to notice this.
God went to war against gods. God went to war against those, I believe they
were sons who rebelled and who started to draw those nations to worship them. Now we can disagree
on the logistics of it. Once we get to heaven, we'll get all of the stuff squared away. But we're
looking through the thick glass, and we are seeing the sons of God were placed over the nations.
We study the history, we see the nations didn't worship God. They worship weird stuff, and they
worshiped them with zealousy and allegiance. And so it's almost like there was a spiritual pool
for the nations to worship these weird ideas. I'm currently in a Bible seminary so I am studying
world history, and it's just it's amazing how devoted they were to these ideas. And they all
are not very far away from some of the biblical concepts, because I believe these gods copied,
they duplicate it and everything was about them. And then we're seeing Israel gets harassed,
God's people where in Deuteronomy God says, but Israel will become My, I will
be responsible for them. Israel gets harassed. God doesn't just go and deliver
them. God goes in and smacks god's of Egypt. That's why when you read Exodus, I want you to read it with the new
lens. It was a battle of the gods. It wasn't just delivering, He was also inflicting
judgment. They will not remove those gods. They were judged, because they still remained in Egypt
as those gods. If you study the history, you will see that Egypt continued to worship those gods,
even afterwards. But they did receive a black eye. Number six. Territorial principalities
oppose God's work on the earth. Territorial principalities oppose
God's work on the earth. Daniel 10:13. Chapter 10 verse 20. Again, we see that Persia and Greece were nations. The archangel of God doesn't have a struggle against a human being. We see one angel attacks Asyrian army, and over
a hundred thousand eighty-something soldiers. Go puff. Gone. To tell us that a spiritual powerful angel of God was wrestling with a human
being for 21 days, doesn't make sense. Unless, he wasn't fighting with a human being, and most
theologians, scholars agree, this was a spirit, a territorial god behind the Persian Empire.
Which would make sense, why they were successful. Greece, which would make sense why they were so
effective. And you look at all of those nations, you will always see one common thing. They had
their religion. And those gods, those spirits were empowered over those territories by the
worship they received from the people they ruled. And the reason why there is a wrestling match
is because they have legal jurisdiction. First given by God, and now
reinforced by people's allegiance. That even God's top dog has
a difficult time penetrating, because once it's given by God and
reinforced by people's allegiance. That's like you know let's say you were
married and your husband leaves you, your wife leaves you. Divorces you, and
goes marries somebody else legally and they want to be with them. You can't just
come back and say, well you're my spouse. Doesn't work. There's a legal binding, and
there's an emotional connection there already for which you have no jurisdiction. So this would
now make sense why Daniel is praying and fasting, and the archangel comes in. Who literally, I mean
these angels can move mountains with like fingers, like this. And he says, I've been wrestling and
then what I'm done, he says, I'm going to wrestle with another one. We're gonna have to push through
God's agenda because they're opposing God's work. Now let's go just a little bit further.
Number seven. Now this is going to get good. Jesus's death disarmed legally the
principalities over the nations. I'm so excited. All right. So, in Luke 4:6, the
Bible says the devil said to him, look at this, "All the authority over the
nations I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me,
and I give it to whomever I wish." From Eden until Jesus's arrival,
satan has been accumulating power. He merged all of God's rebellious rogue
sons together. Somehow he was able to have enough of accumulating power that he
could offer Jesus access to every nation. But Jesus knew that the devil is lying, and you
can't get the nations by bowing to the devil, because then you're gonna be under demonic spell.
That's exactly what happened to Adam. Jesus had a different way. He was fulfilling a prophecy in
Genesis 3:15, where Adam and Eve committed sin, God initiated a plan. And He said, He spoke to the
serpent and He said, "Out of a seed of a woman," which is interesting because the word "seed"
there is a sperm. A woman doesn't have a sperm. A man has a seed, a woman has egg. So God is right
away instituting how His Son will come. He will come out of a seed of a woman, meaning it will
be divinely planted. It will be a virgin birth. Genesis 3:15. God says, seed of a woman. He
said it will crush the head. Place of rulership, a place of authority, a place of legal right. He
says, "He will bruise the head of a serpent." But God also said there will be a price for that. He
says, "But he," the snake, "will bruise His heel." Meaning that there will be retaliation against
the one who will come for the legal keys of the nations. That's why people who walk around
and say, "I'm going to attack principalities." There is going to be retaliation. You
can't do that. Somebody already did that, and it cost him his life, death on the
cross. I always thought, pastor, the death on the cross was only Jesus dying for
my sin and God putting my sin on Jesus. I never saw another facet, that on the cross,
He was being bruised also by the dragon. No wonder it was Judas, whom the devil
put in his heart to betray Christ. No wonder Corinthians says, if the
rulers of this world would know, that on that cross it was their keys they're
gonna get snatched, they wouldn't crucify. They were blinded by their pride. They
were blinded by their vengeance against the Son of God. They didn't see while they were
bruising His heel, He was crushing their skull. Jesus is a dragon slayer, and you
are a demon slayer. Come on somebody. Drop this in your notes.
This is hot from the press. The reason I am a demon slayer is
because Jesus is a dragon slayer. Now Colossians 2:15 it says: Have you noticed He didn't
say, having disarmed demons. We're dealing with the gods of the nations. We're dealing with ruling principalities over the
nations, who have been assigned by God in their place. Number two. Who have been reinforced by
the allegiance of the nations that worship them. And now, fully God and fully man, bruised by
the serpent, crushes the head of the serpent, takes the keys from the serpent, takes
the legal right. Why? Because see, humanity were given the authority over the earth,
not satan. Humanity through sin turns over that authority over the earth, and now it's given to
him, and now a human takes that authority back. His name is Jesus, who is also fully God. Now
something, this is exciting. Number eight. Jesus now holds all the legal
authority over the nations, therefore He sends us to claim them for God. Do you know how the great commission starts? It doesn't start with, go. It
starts with this, "All authority. Have been given to Me. Now, go to
the nations and claim them for Me." Why? The principalities are there, but
now they are not in their legal position. Have you noticed, Christ did not say, all the authority have been given
to Me, now go and bind them. He didn't say, go and wage war against
them. He said, that war, I fought. You are my ground troops. Go therefore
and make disciples of all the nations. Why? Because I disarmed the rulers of the nations. All the authority has been given to Me now. Before
His death, He barely went to any nations. Israel was never given an assignment to convert nations,
because those nations were given to God's sons. Now that God's Son, Jesus Christ, disarmed
principalities. He claimed all the authority, and now He says, I want you to reclaim the nations
for Me. How do you do that? Go, make disciples, baptizing and teaching. I don't see one
instruction in there for second heaven warfare. Authority over the nations now belongs to Jesus. Principalities don't have legal jurisdiction,
but they still have rulership because of the allegiance of people. What gives them rulership
over the nations is not legal authority, it is allegiance of people. That's why you
don't need to be breaking authority. That's broken. You need to shrink their domain by
getting people from darkness into light, and that's not done in a secret closet.
That's done through, go and make disciples. As you get more people into
Jesus, their domain shrinks. Why? Because now the only reason they stay
in power is because of people that give them allegiance. As you sway people away, they can't
fight you back because they are not legitimate. Now, they will try to attack you because they're
still evil, but you have Jesus's green light to go to the nations of the world. Nations that
have witchcraft, nations that are pagan, nations that have demonic infiltration, and
win souls, make disciples, plant churches, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and
drive out demons. Come on somebody. Write this down. It's still
under point 8. Preaching the Gospel is the greatest form of spiritual warfare. Preaching the Gospel is the greatest form of
spiritual warfare. When the principalities see Christian minions invading their territory
and pulling one after another, boldly. This is another death blow of the cross.
That's why Christians invaded Rome by preaching the Gospel. They
spread Christianity. They drove out into exile the principalities of those
nations. They weakened them so much. by what? Preaching the Gospel. Now with the
preaching of the Gospel came signs and wonders, but please understand. Jesus defeated
them, disarmed them and He because of that, I want you to never look at the great
commission the same way. He first started with authority over the nations, and
then the great commission was birthed. Otherwise what we would be
doing is intruding illegally into the enemy's territory. Now we are
reclaiming for the rightful King, Jesus Christ. "For the weapons over warfare are not carnal
but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high
thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every,"
not principality, but every "thought into the captivity into the obedience of Christ."
2 Corinthians 10:4-5. We destroyed the work of the principality by bringing people to Christ.
Write it down. We destroyed the works of principality by bringing people to Christ.
Daniel did not fight the prince of Persia. Daniel did not fight the prince of Persia when he
fasted for his people. God's top dog fought the prince of Persia. The recipe for revival for your
city is not engaging in second heaven war, second heaven warfare. I'm going to give you the recipe
that has been used for Christians for the last two thousand and even more years. 2 Chronicles
7:14. And if my people get virgin oil and anoint all the nightclubs in their city, if they gather
on Friday at midnight and close the portals to demonic principalities, then everything will turn
around in their cities. Their churches will grow, the children will come back home, and their
finances will prosper and I will heal their land. Sorry, that was the charismatic version of it. If my people called by My name will, humble themselves. And what?
Pray. And what? Seek My face. And what? Turn from their wicked ways.
Then I will hear from heaven I will forgive, not their cities sin first,
their own sin. And I will what? Heal their land. This has been the recipe of great awakenings
in America. This has been the recipe for our revival in Argentina. This has been
the recipe for the revivals in Africa. If you track revivals, you will see deep travail
and intercession, with fasting, and repentance. This thing that many of us feel like, oh but we
know better. Do you know better than the Bible? The fruits show for themselves. The people
who do that, their cities aren't changed. The cities aren't changed. The cities
aren't transformed. There's no massive revival happening in the region. For those
of you who are doing that back at home, you're not seeing the fruit
you're claiming it should bring. And based on God's Word, I will go on the limb
to say, you are outside of your jurisdiction. And most likely, this is not to
judge anybody but slightly judge. You're not winning souls, you're not making
disciples, you're not healing the sick, you're not casting out demons, and you're not
living as a Christian. You focused more on fighting enemies. Jesus says, I got them already.
I give you the keys to go reclaim the nations, and the things He tells us to do, we don't
do. And things He doesn't tell us to do, we do, thinking we got some secret sauce. I know,
it's because we watch the Youtube preachers who went trips upstairs, and they found some secrets
that nobody else knows. Any wisdom, mysticism and secrets that do not line up with the basics of the
Gospel, and did not line up with church history, should be treaded very carefully. I'm
not saying they're demonic or wrong. What I'm saying is stay close to the
orthodoxy of Christian basic theology. Anytime you go too deep into the extreme, based on
the secret somebody received with their visit from God, and that pushes you to do things that the
Bible doesn't give you clear instructions to do. And usually those people
with those visits upstairs. Pull Scripture out of context, and the turn Christians into principality hunters,
instead of soul winners and disciples of men. Paul was teaching Timothy about praying for
the region. Now Paul took trips upstairs. When I say upstairs, I mean to another realm.
So I don't mean like physically upstairs. So if there is somebody who's been there, heard
things that could be uttered, it was Paul. Paul knew the spiritual realm. He's the one that wrote,
"we don't wrestle against flesh and blood." But I want you to notice his instruction for regional
revival to Timothy. 1 Timothy Chapter 2:1-4. Interesting, not one reference about second heaven
warfare. Did he miss something? Did he have a secret he didn't tell us? Or are we treading
on a territory we have no jurisdiction over. When Jesus wept over Jerusalem, interestingly
He didn't bind principality over Jerusalem. When He sent people to different cities, His
disciples. He didn't say, make sure you first wage war against the principalities and only then
go preach the Gospel. He never told them that. What I'm telling us is this, keep it simple,
saints. K.I.S.S principle. Keep it simple saints. I'm not gonna call you stupid
because we ain't stupid, right. We're saints. Come on somebody.
In other words, keep it simple soldier. There is no secret sauce to conquer your nation,
your city. Except the simple basic of My people, I have the authority, go and make
disciples. It's one soul at a time, we pull from the claws of the principalities,
and bring them to the cause of Christ. Now, I know you may be thinking, well Vlad, it
sounds very convincing. I'm still not convinced because Ephesians chapter 6. Well I'm
so glad you're thinking about that. Number nine. Our authority against the ruling
principality is limited to self-defense, not direct confrontation on their domain. Let
me say that again. Our authority is limited to self-defense, not direct confrontation
on their domain. So this is how it works. So there's civilians and they're police officers.
Now police officer can come and arrest a criminal, but even a police officer cannot go on a shooting
spree. It's illegal. You same thing, you cannot kill somebody because you have a gun. Now
how many of you,you know that that's how it works? Just because you have a weapon,
and just because maybe you were a marine or you were special forces. It doesn't give
you license to shoot everything that moves. The moment you use the power and the experience
you have to feel cocky and to say, well, well. In war. You know and I have a person on
our team who leads a security team, who was in a very upper shalon of a U.S military.
Who has quite few bad people's heads removed from their bodies in his military. Godly
man, very quiet but very, very lethal. Dangerous, yeah. I sometimes warn people who
come with bad intention. I said, wrong church. I was like, you better have a death certificate on
your head because you're not coming out alive if you even dare to do something. But anyway. He has
no right, no right. Even though he was military; he's trained to shoot very precisely. It's a
sniper. He has no authority to go on the street and shoot someone because he can. His
authority as a civilian is limited to one thing, self-defense. Now if
you attack him, he will fight back. He will never initiate the attack. That is
how our authority is with principalities. Self-defense, not direct confrontation on their
domain. That's what Paul says in Ephesians 6. Read it carefully. He says, we don't fight against
flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. And then you would think he will say, and
fight them back. He says, then stand your ground. What do you mean stand? I wanna fight. He
says, and then he says stand, three times. Stand your ground, meaning
don't let them move you. And then he keeps talking about the armor of
God, which is most of the pieces are for defense, not offense. He uses one weapon for the
offense. Interestingly it's not a rifle, it's a dagger. Which is daggers are only use
for close combat. Meaning if the principality comes breathing on my neck, I am licensed
to defend myself with the Word of God. But I do not have weapons in my arsenal to
shoot them down. I can only stab up close. I cannot fight at a distance against them. I
don't have the weaponry for it. So the only verse that we have for principalities has to
do with a self-defense, and most of our weapons are defensive and only one that's offensive, and
that's the word there for the sword is a dagger. You don't throw daggers, you use them up close.
That means if the principality comes very close and you know something is attacking you, you
can rebuke it as a self-defense mechanism. You don't go provoking the attack and initiating
it, because that is not your legal jurisdiction. Is this helping anybody? So Paul's dealing with self-defense for
principalities is first stand your ground, live like a Christian, very important, be in
the Word and be in prayer. And even when you read about him talking about prayer, you would
think, Paul, in dealing with principalities, look at what kind of prayer he's talking about. Ephesians 6:18, "Praying always with all
prayer and supplication." No prayer warfare. "Being watchful to this end with all perseverance
and supplication for all the saints." Meaning hey, pray for the saints. "And for me, that
the utterance might be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to declare the
mystery of the Gospel." No reference whatsoever to go and bind something there, to go
directly confront something there. If a principality intrudes on my personal
life, I am licensed the same way that if you attack me in my house, to pull
a rifle and to bring the end of you. That's the way it works, and the principality
knows that. So that's why they will sometimes intrude, but the moment you know that you can
defend yourself. It's kind of like you walking on a hiking trail and if the lion comes against, you
don't go looking for the lion, you don't provoke the lion. But if he comes attacks you, you have
a knife and you have some kind of a you know a glock, and then you go shooting in self-defense.
That's exactly what Paul referring to in principalities in Ephesians chapter 6 ,is these
illegal entities still rule over the nations. As we go and we destroy their works by winning souls
are making disciples, we live a life of prayer, fasting and consecration. And if they intrude on
your life, you in self-defense, can fight back. But what you don't do, is you
don't gather other 25 intercessors to try to bombard them with spiritual
missiles at a distance of your Friday night 12 o'clock prayer meeting. We
just don't see that in the Bible. And the last thing, are you ready
for number 10? Now this is very good. For those of you who are like, man but I
just, I just want to fight them Vlad. Man, you made it seem like I want to fight them
low demons. My rank is higher in the realm. Now I do want to satisfy your appetite for
blood. So let me satisfy that by the Bible. We will replace the ruling principalities
to rule over the nations with Jesus in the eternal kingdom. Did you know, they're currently
fired from the job we all gonna get hired on? Do you know what we're going to do for
eternity? Well let's read. Matthew 24:47. These are dealing with faithful stewards.
Matthew 25:21. "His Lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things," like

You were faithful over those things, "I will make you ruler over many
things. Enter the joy of your Lord." 2 Timothy Chapter 2:12. Revelation 2:26. Revelation 20:4. I believe these ruling
principalities, we will replace. Jesus will assign it to His redeemed sons, that
will never go rogue. They will lead the nations, because you know heaven, the heaven we are going
to is not the heaven we are going to stay in. Remember the Bible says, the heaven like
a Jerusalem will come down on the earth, and God will have His dwelling with
men. God will bring two realms together, and guess where He will set up his office? On the earth. And yes, there's going to be life here.
The people are going to live. There's gonna be stuff that's going to be
happening, creation. I mean all of that stuff. We're not just going to be in
a forever eternal charismatic conference. God is not, there is going to be no more church,
church buildings. We're all going to be creating, having dominion and reigning with Christ.
There is going to be cities. There's going to be work. You're not just going to be
floating on the harp forever, singing one song. That song that is being sung, holy, holy.
That's done by them angels, you're not an angel. We will always live in the worshipful attitude
to our God but we will also reign with Him. The Bible doesn't say just worship, we will reign, we
will have responsibility. There's a reason why He will give us crowns. There's gonna be ranks,
and there is going to be different things that we're going to do. And one of the things He
will give to His redeemed sons and daughters is power over the nations. Because once
these bad boys principalities got kicked out, God's like, I got a vacant place. And my sons
and daughters who've been washed by the blood, who have been faithful in driving our demons,
they've been faithful serving at their local church, they've been tithing. So they've been
living a life sacrificial to God. They've been loving their spouse. They've been raising their
children. They've been faithful with the little, let Me entrust them with the region, let Me
trust them with the nation, let Me entrust them over the neighborhood. Because these bad
principalities are going to be completely removed, but actually they won't be removed, they will
be replaced. And you and I will become the new sheriff in town, who will direct everybody's
worship to the Lamb that was slain before the foundations of the earth. Come on somebody, rise
on your feet right now. Give God some praise.
