Apostle Billey
All those in heaven have used the weapons of God against the forces of darkness, and they have been victorious.
Evil has existed for thousands of years. And it’s easy to let yourself be corrupted, to think that what’s in the world is normal.
Because we can hear someone lying right in front of us, and it doesn’t mean anything to us.
The solution lies in Jesus, for He teaches us the truth.
We live in a world where our way of life is not the original one. It’s all down to the man.
The reason Jesus came was to show us the original way of life. To walk with Him, we must cultivate humility and have a teachable heart.
Isaiah 14. 12_15; Colossians 2:14–15; Hebrews 2:14–15; 1 John 3:8–9; Colossians 1:13–14; Romans 8:28–29; Isaiah 59.
Isaiah 14 12_15
12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
We’re talking about Lucifer here. God created everything, including the angelic realm. There are many angels. They were created to serve. And we, as human beings, were created as children of God, in the image of God. We are closer to Him.
We don’t need to knock on the door to come in, just as a child walks freely into his father’s house.
The angelic realm is well organized. There are several departments. Among the angels, for example, we have Michael in the Department of War.
A single angel can subdue and fight an entire city.
The role of his angels is to establish order.
There are angels who deliver messages. Spokespersons. Like Gabriel, he works in the information department. He appeared to Zechariah to bring him good news.
Because he doubted, the angel Gabriel said to him, “You will not speak again until this comes to pass.” And it was issued when John the Baptist was born. [Luc 1.10_64]
When it came to praise and worship, we had Lucifer.
At the head of the angelic orders, they are called archangels. For example: Michael and Lucifer are archangels.
God created everything with love. Everything is connected through love. Whatever He does not like, He will destroy. We protect what we love.
Colossians 1.17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Love must be free. In love, there is free will.
God loves us of His own free will, without any conditions. And He created us with free will. It is a power that God has placed within us. The power to decide.
Heaven is bigger than the earth. Even the sun is so big that you could fit the entire Earth inside it (a million times over).
All the angels loved God for a long time, until evil entered the angelic world through Lucifer.
One day, he took God’s eyes and looked at himself. Angels are bright and radiant. Praise to God brought even more light.
Isaiah 14
13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation, On the farthest sides of the north;14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’
Lucifer thought he was special, handsome, brilliant… It was subtle. But in reality, he had forgotten that the source of everything comes from God. He forgot God’s love and set his sights on himself.
All of this was on his mind, but God saw it, and Jesus saw it. For there is no darkness in heaven. Presumption is a little more subtle, but it opens the door to pride.
That is how he fell into pride, starting with presumption.
What is a presumption?
Let’s suppose this: God uses you and brings about a resurrection. Then everyone starts talking about it everywhere. How might you be feeling?
That is what presumption is.
Or someone has a nicer car than everyone else in the group. And everyone starts looking at him. How might he be feeling?
Presumptuous.
So Lucifer began speaking to the other angels: “We deserve better than this…”.
Some angels listened; they agreed, but others said, “We already have everything here.”
Those who listened let it take root within them. They were infected.
So the love for God in their hearts began to wane. They are fallen angels today.
Consider this:
For example, if someone approaches the senior deacon and asks, “How long have you held this position?” That’s too much. You should already be a pastor.
If he doesn’t take up arms to use them, he will be corrupted.
And he might even decide to skip a few steps, if he truly feels called, and be recruited as a pastor by the devil.
Or even at work, someone might say to another person, “In theory, you should already be in a higher-level position. It seems like your manager doesn’t like you…”
And if he accepts that, his love for his supervisor may fade and change.
We have to be very careful, because the snake uses these techniques all the time.
Love is a responsibility. You can’t force someone to love you. God does not force anyone to love Him.
God could have snapped his fingers and made Lucifer and the angels who followed him disappear.
God created everything. He wasn’t afraid. He controls everything.
But He was waiting for them to repent.
However, after corrupting the others, Lucifer rose up against God alongside them.
14 I will ascend to the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
He showed pride here.
As soon as they began to do that—when Lucifer said that—they were completely stripped of their glory, their beauty, their power, their treasures, their charisma…
The archangel Michael came to fight them.
15Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.
Once they were light, but now they have become wretched, shrouded in darkness, and fallen.
Did God do that? No, that’s their decision.
That is why the kingdom of darkness is hateful.
All the weapons of darkness are directed against love. Because if he attacks love, the person will become proud.
Can anyone think of why God let Satan do that?
The truth is that God thwarted him.
Let’s not forget that God is in control of everything.
These fallen angels have become wretched, more than pitiable, like black smoke, stripped of everything.
Let’s imagine it’s as if everything had disappeared because the person hadn’t thought about the consequences of their decisions.
Lucifer had forgotten that it was God who had created him and who was the source of everything he had. And so he must love Him; otherwise, it would be painful.
Beloved, a billionaire who loses all his wealth, his castles, and his luxury cars and ends up sleeping in the subway; in reality, this former billionaire who has nothing left is in a better position than what happened to Lucifer and all the fallen angels.
If “fallen” means 0, then Lucifer has fallen even further than that. (- infinity)
The name Lucifer means “shining angel.”
Satan means “fallen angel.”
And so it all began when we turned our backs on God’s love. They probably stayed that way for quite a long time.
The one who ate what God gave had the light, but no longer has it… What could this mean? Knowing that he cannot create his own world.
His final destination is hell.
We must no longer be afraid of Satan, but we must fear Jesus.
If Satan were powerful, he would have abolished hell and destroyed all of humanity.
We must come to know God and His power. And we must love Him and not accuse Him because of earthly matters.
Some people say, “If God is love, why does He allow wars?”
That’s not God.
Many people use their free will to wage wars and do harm.
Or others have built cars like Lamborghinis and drive around in them with the spirit of the serpent—pride. Then, when they have accidents, they blame God. What an injustice!
God is good and loving. He’s right. He doesn’t do anything wrong. What happens to a person is the result of his free will to choose evil.
Anyone who knows God’s laws and continues to love God—who understands God’s perspective and His way of seeing things—will be guided and protected.
It is our responsibility to keep our love for God alive.
Love is beautiful when we can do things but choose not to, out of love. That is what God wants,
Satan and the other angels remained in their wretched state for a time. Filled with fear and weakness. Until they saw Adam and Eve, created in God’s image—who were beautiful and close to God, who loves them as His children.
They ate from the spring, from the tree of life, filled with wisdom.
So Satan went to see Eve. He was jealous; he had nothing left to lose—he had already lost everything. He was embittered and bitter.
Genesis 3:1–6
Satan said to Eve, “You will be like God…”
In this way, he planted his seed in Eve.
Unfortunately, Eve and Adam agreed. So they, too, automatically departed from God’s presence; they fell, they were afraid, and they lost their glory.
Normally, their love for God should lead them to reject the serpent’s temptations and drive it away.
But they believed the serpent.
Beloved, the spirit that is waging war against your prayer life is doing so because it knows who you are, and that spirit is Satan. He wants to prevent you from realizing who you are.
But if you use your free will and accept God’s will, you will overcome him.
You have the authority to destroy it.
He can’t confront you because he knows who you are and that if you say a word, he’ll be destroyed.
He is afraid even of the pagan who does not know Jesus, because the pagan can always cry out to God for help.
All the weapons of darkness are effective against those who are not fully committed to the Lord, who are weak and wavering (woazo woazo, fleke fleke…).
This gives the impression that Satan is powerful.
For those who do not fully respond to God’s love will be manipulated by darkness. They’re the demons’ chewing gum.
And they will think that the Christian life is difficult, impossible. That’s a lie.
The foundation of all the weapons of darkness is pride and lies.
In Jesus, we have victory. And as a Christian, it takes three seconds to destroy everything.
Colossians 2.
14 Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Jesus did all of this out of love for us.
What should we use to destroy all these weapons of darkness? Along with, of course, the weapons of God.
But the power behind these weapons that must not be overlooked is God’s love—the truth.
God can speak, and the devil will disappear.
But God, in His wisdom, had a Plan B to humiliate Satan. So that we can exercise our authority. [Luke 10:19]
When we fell, God’s love sent Jesus. To save us, so that we may be enlightened and know the truth.
On the other hand, Lucifer was always with God; he knew a great deal. So, by doing what he did, there is no hope left for him.
The moment I accept God’s love, the plan of salvation and restoration begins to unfold. From that moment on, we receive the strength and power of God’s weapons, which destroy the serpent’s schemes in a matter of seconds.
A Christian is armed; he is not just anyone. God wants to train you to destroy the forces of darkness.
Beloved, reject the colonization of the world of darkness. That is what the spiritual battle in the world is all about. You rely on the truth and destroy everything that stands against your life.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, let us pray… →
Lord Jesus, I surrender myself to You.
I ask your forgiveness for my blindness.
Thank you for lifting me up and restoring my life.
Thank You for setting me free through Your blood.
I declare that I belong to God.
You, demon, I reject your colonization.
I declare your permanent destruction in the name of Jesus.
I declare that I am more than a conqueror.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
