SEMINAR SPIRITUAL WARFARE Speaker: Jonathan Tusubura WELCOME March 2015
SPIRITUAL WARFARE Spiritual warfare is part of the big picture PRAYER Prayer is earthly license for heavenly interference
PRAYER IS Praise, tell of what he has done worship, focus on the throne intercession, prayer on behalf of some else fasting is humbling yourself,
Spiritual mapping is Geographic/demographic structure, God s word logos/rhema, Meditation, Giving, Dedication is covenants, vows, agreements, Deliverance is salvation,
SPIRITUAL WARFARE Eph 6:12 We do not wrestle against flesh and blood Wrestling is the most intense form of comflict between two persons We are in total combat against spiritual forces in the heaenly places How come we have spiritual forces in the heavenly places
HEAVENS Gen 1:1 the word heaven is plural and the word earth is singler Implying that we have more than one heaven 2 Cor. 12:2 caught in the third heaven If there is a third heaven that means There is the second and the first heaven as well
THIRD HEAVEN The third heaven in this text must have been the highest point where God dwells The third heaven is top heaven The first heaven is what we see, that is where the moon sun and stars are. The second heaven is where the conflict takes place
CONFLICT PLACE There is no conflict where God dwells There is not that kind of conflict on this earth The conflict is between the earth and the throne of God
ORIGIN OF THE CONFLICT Isaiah 14:12 Prophetic words towards angelic being The motivation of Lucifer s rebellion Starts with the word I WILL The root of rebellion is the will set against the will of God
FIVE TIMES I WILL 1. I will ascend 2. I will exalt 3. I will sit 4. I will ascend 5. I will be like
LUCIFER The origin of Lucifer s rebellion was personal ambition The same today TIMELESS TRUTH Personal ambition in ministry, it s origin is in the heart of Satan
LUCIFER **TIMELESS TRUTH** Satan can in plant personal ambitions in every heart of whoever accepts it. Personal ambition was Satan's down fall watch out
EZEKIEL 28:1-15 Ezekiel 28:1 The prince of Tyre and the king of Tyre in this scripture are two different persons There is interplay between the earthly Rulers and heaven Rulers
THE PRINCE OF TYRE Your heart is lifted up and you say I am a god Human being claimed to be a god Wise, wealth, powerful. In most cases wealth is the source of pride V.8 the prince was killed so he died V.9 he is human and not god
THE KING OF TYRE Ezk 28:12 lament for the king of Tyre Signet of perfection (signature) Full of wisdom Perfect in beauty Where? in Eden garden of God Created being Anointed, blameless,
KING OF TYRE Ezk 28:16 Violance, Cast out Proud of beauty, corrupted This was not a human being In the spiritual realms there is a relation between heavenly Rulers and Earthly Rulers
SPIRITUAL RULERS The spiritual ruler seeks to gain control of human ruler to gain the ground on earth. Pride is the most temptation that caused the fall This king of Tyre was not killed he was driven out He is still proud
LUCIFER Compared himself to the image of God Who is the image of God? JESUS Colossians 1:15-16 That is where the conflict begun The conflict has not stopped, Lucifer fights against the purpose and the will of God
STRUCTURE OF HEAVENLY BEINGS Colossians 1:15 Image of invisible God Heavenly being are invisible, Created. In this case Jesus was born
IMAGE OF GOD The image could not be created it was born This is why God does not want us to have idols, he has image Because God has image, all things where created. Visible and invisible.
VISIBLE THINGS Gen 1:1 Heavens, earth, light, darkness, water, plants animal, and human being
INVISIBLE THINGS Thrones Dominion/ lordships Principalities/rulerships Powers/ authorities These are offices, these are positions Likened to president and presidency
TOP LEVELS Ephesians 6:12 shows the two top levels Principalities Powers In Colossians 1:15-16 shows throne and dominion where not taken away from God The wrestling is against principalities and powers
MID HEAVEN, SECOND Daniel 10:10-14 HEAVEN These verses suggest that there is a mid heaven Which is occupied by satanic angels or spiritual beings Why did it take 21 days for the angel to reach Daniel? V. 13
PRINCIPALITY The king was not human, But in charge of Persia There spiritual figures in charge of physical places or locations
DANIEL **TIMELESS TRUTH** Why was Daniel mourning? Israel the condition of his people Prayed and fasted 21 days Why should we be praying and fasting? The condition of our people
**TIMELESS TRUTH** If you want to see your life change If you want to see your nation change It will not happen without praying and fasting If you want to see Finland change it is going to be by prayer and fasting Ezra 8:21-23
THREE WEEKS OF SPIRITUAL CONFLICT One angel could not breakthrough, it took two angels to over come one king over Persia I must return to fight the prince of Persia and of Greece v.20 ***TIMELESS TRUTH*** It is going to take more than we are doing to break the power of Satan over our nations
THE POWER OF HUMANS IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE (SW) In order to understand prayer you must understand the kingdom principle of petitioning Prayer is the most important kingdom activity on earth
THE KINGDOM Without God man cannot and without man God will not On earth man cannot do anything without God God will do nothing on earth without man Therefore there must be a relationship between heaven and earth in order for things to happen on earth
HUMANS LEGAL AUTHORITY Prayer works as earthly license for heavenly interference God gave only humans legal authority on earth What is a human? Human comes from the term humus Humus is a combination of spirit and dust Spirit living in a dirt body
HUMANS LEGAL AUTHORITY The only being that has legal right to dominate the earth is a spirit in a dirty body Timeless truth You do not have a spirit, you are a spirit God in dust Gen 2:7 God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being
HUMAN LEGAL AUTHORITY **TIMELESS TRUTH** The most powerful weapon that you possess is not your spirit, but your body (I have a reason for saying this) This is why when you lose your body you have to leave the earth
HUMAN LEGAL AUTHORITY Gen 1:26 God said let them have dominion The only being that has legal right to dominate the earth is a spirit in dirt body Any spirit with out a body is illegal on earth that is why the spirits want to enter humans, to become legal so they can operate on earth
HUMAN LEGAL AUTHORITY God chose to make himself in the background by allowing man have dominion on earth, that is why He said "let them have dominion" When God speaks every word become law God will never violate his law
HUMAN LEGAL AUTHORITY That is why God could not stop Eve from picking that fruit If God had interfered with Eve at that time he would have violated his law and we would not trust him anymore
HUMAN LEGAL AUTHORITY Satan is a spirit being, for that reason he is illegal on earth If he has to do business on earth he needs the body He went to the serpent, required it to loan its body the serpent accepted and in the end he was punished
HUMAN LEGAL AUTHORITY Before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, He had to consult with Abraham For God to deliver the Israelites from Egypt, He needed Moses to play his part. God did nothing without Moses announcing it, not because He could not have worked supernaturally but this was His operational principle
HUMAN LEGAL AUTHORITY Jesus reconfirmed this authority to his disciples Mt. 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven"
INCARNATION OF CHRIST Isaiah 9:6 A child is born Jesus 100% human A son is given Christ 100% God The child will give the son legal rights to operate on earth In other words, God can now do Business on earth without him breaking His law
The only reason why Jesus could do miracles was due to Him being the son of man
THE ARMOUR Put on the whole armour Belt of truth Breastplate of righteousness, protects your heart
Shod your feet with gospel of peace. The only thing that most of the people do not have is peace. Some people have money without peace Besides all these, take the shield of faith Don't leave any part of your life unprotected Remember the shield protects only the person not properties
Helmet of salvation, protect your mind there is a battle going on here. Its is called the battle of the mind The mind is the thought engine of the person It is the seat of man s consciousness If you win a person s way of thinking, you can drive him or her into evil or deliver him or her from evil.
Gen 3:1 "did really God say" Judges 16:17. Samson and Delilah
Sword of the spirit, the word of God Have a scripture answer to all questions in your mind Jesus took it and used it against the devil
Praying at all times in the spirit Praying is the ultimate weapon The sword will only reach where your arm reach but prayer will go every where
GUILT When need to learn to deal with guilt The devil will always want to keep us down by bringing the guilt even from the parts Rev 12:10 the accuser accuses day and night In order to keep us guilty of our sins even the part sins
Guilty takes away our confidence We are going to overcome using word of testmony
SPIRITUAL WARFARE ON EARTH The personality we do spiritual warfare against on earth are demons Mark 1:21-26 When doing deliverance we are dealing with people with supernatural knowledge Jesus rebuked the demon in the man He came out of him
Those demons know who we are. Mark 1:24 "what do you have to do with us? Jesus of Nazareth" Some Christians are demonized even though they are a part of the church, there some areas in their lives where the Holy Spirit have not been given full control v.23sons of Sceva Acts 19:13-15 "who are you?"
Healing and casting out demons was part of Jesus' ministry Lk 13:31-32 Jesus casted out demons and healed the sick In the O.T they performed miracles like Jesus did in the new testament but they did not cast out demons
Mt 12:28 casting out demons is a sign of the kingdom of God Casting out demons is a war of two kingdoms Jesus demonstrated the victory of the kingdom of God over the kingdom of Satan by casting out demons
JESUS INSTRUCTS HIS DISCIPLES Mathew 10:7-8 preach saying the Kingdom of God is at hand Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, cast out demons. It is not enough to preach. In Christ final instructions to whoever wants to go and preach in his name There who preach not in the name of Jesus
Jesus said Mk 16:17 the first supernatural sign in Jesus' instructions was not speaking in tongues, it was casting out demons Lk 10:17-20 When they obeyed It was exciting they gave a good report Demons where subject to us
V.19 I have given you the power to do what? And nothing will hurt you Acts 8:5-8 What attracted the crowd? Miracles What miracles, unclean spirits crying
DESCRIPTION OF DEMONS Demons are personalities without bodies Demons are real personalities Demons have real characteristics The most distinctive thing about demons is that they crave to occupy a body They are not satisfied until they enter a body
They can enter any body, even animals The demon of alcoholism must have a throat The demon of immorality must have sexual organs to operate We are surrounded by invisible persons desperately craving to occupy bodies And desperately craving not to get out of the body
HOW DO DEMONS COME IN They come in through a moment of weakness, e.g. Samson. What was his moment of weakness? David, Solomon, Judas Iscariot, Ananias and Saphira, Jesus moment of weakness, bread, authority, worship me. What was Paul's moment of weakness? 2 Cor. 12:1 Jesus said if a demons come out of someone.
In this time of weakness more and more demons will come in and then finally they will kill the person
GENERAL MOMENTS OF WEAKNESS When you have no money When one is hungry When one is not loved, rejection, separation, loneliness, suicide
PRENATAL Infants are born with demons depending on what the parents did or did not do The problem that exposes unborn children to demons is parental involvement in occultism You cannot get involved in any form of occultism without being exposed to demons
CHILDREN Babies are born into the world craving for one thing LOVE But when they are born to a mother regretting why she got pregnant this exposes that child to demons of hatred, discrimination Some parents wanted to have a girl and a boy came, this baby is exposed to rejection
Deut. 18:9-12 Divination, soothsaying, augur, sorcery, charms, medium, wizardry, necromancery If you have been in any of these you have been exposed to demons When you get into occultism you are making friends with God's enemies
James 3:16 Pressure in early childhood Strive tones, unhappy family exposes children to demons
ACTS AND HABITS Sinful acts and habits exposes people to demons Criticism Sexual habits Idle words
Characteristics of demons Entice Harass Defile Torture Compel: they cause you to do things you would rather not Enslave: addictions
STEPS TO DELIVERANCE Personally affirm your salvation: be sure you are what you think you are Humble your self: humility is a decision, accept the condition you are in and be delivered After you have received deliverance dignity will come back Mark 16:9
Deliverance exposes you to shame and humiliation but it is the only way to get it Luke 8:27 Some times you have to talk about your private life, Acts mk 9:17-18 Luke 8:43
Confess any known and unknown sin, ask the Holy Spirit to stand on your behalf. Ask God to show you mercy and forgive you Forgive and release other people. Forgiving others is a condition for receiving forgiveness Get rid of occultism.
