Eternal Glorious Fountain Ministry (EGFM)
Programme: Revelation Hour (RH)
Date: Saturday, 9th July 2022
The kingdom of God is a birth canal and there is no succession in it without being born. The essence of dominions are for birth. This is why when people are under the dominion and power of Satan, they are being born. Mankind has, to a degree, been born by the power of Satan — this is a hard truth to churches. Churches and christians are generally ignorant of the birth of the soul.
Some ministers are “letter ministers”, while some others are “spirit-ministers” (2 Cor. 3:6). A spirit-minister is someone who ministers the word. It is such a minister that can know the things about the oracles of God, for it is by the leading of the Spirit that we understand some laws of the Spirit. A minister of the word is a minister of the Spirit because in the New Testament, the word is the spirit. A person can know scriptures but may not understand them well. To really know scriptures is to see the division of the scriptures by the spirit; it is one who knows the spirit that is able to do this.
The New Testament has not yet been fully unveiled to many ministers of the gospel but we are in that era where it will be preached. Grace teaching is not the New Testament, although the elements of the New Testament are mentioned when teaching it. Grace is not unmerited favour; it is a law of God. Grace is another kind of bondage and it is stronger than the law of Moses. The law of circumcision that was given to the Jews was a copy or shadow of it (Gen. 17:11; Rom. 2:29).
It is not wrong for a Christian to use the law because the law is good. We should however know how to use it in the New Testament (1 Tim. 1:8). Grace can use the law, but many people do not know this. There is a lawful use of the law, an example of which is tithing. The New Testament demands that we bring our “all” to God (Matt. 22:37), so it is not evil if you give ten percent of your monthly income to God, every month. It is not wrong or a sin to pay tithes; on the contrary, it is good to do so. Tithing is an ancient landmark that no one should seek to remove or be free from. We should not teach against tithing if we do not understand it.
Ministers should encourage the Church to move closer to God and know Him. Then, such people would even have the grace to pay more than ten percent and also give all of themselves to God. In the wisdom of God, the law is good. Any aspect of the law that will not hinder grace is lawful. It is not a good training for your soul if you do not pay your tithes or sow into a minister or ministry that has blessed you. This is because it is ordained that those who preach the gospel will live by the gospel (1 Cor. 9:14). When a person lives a crucified life, giving would not be an issue for him. We have given our lives to the Lord, therefore, giving our money should also be an issue.
Every part of the dominion is a birthing, therefore, you have to be born. No neutral person can enter into the kingdom. One cannot say he is free, even if he has never committed any sin, because he is not yet the species of salvation. You must enter into the kingdom to be free. Jesus never committed any sin, but He entered into the kingdom. He entered into glory, which is the last dimension of the kingdom. He must also have entered previous dominions for Him to enter into glory (Luke 24:26).
When you are born again, you have not yet entered into the kingdom. But being born again is a prerequisite for birthing into dominion (John 3:3-5). To see the kingdom is to comprehend it. You need to see (understand) the kingdom and it has to be taught continuously. However, it is not easy to see the kingdom. It is the power of Satan that is behind the blindness (or lack of understanding) of men towards the knowledge of God (2 Cor. 4:4). This is why many are usually distracted when hearing the word of God. Therefore, God stations spirits around the preaching of the kingdom to bring about the destruction of the kingdom of darkness.
Anytime sight changes, spirits are touched. God gains when we have comprehension of the kingdom but it is a loss to Satan and his kingdom. Each of those spirits that we overcome when we comprehend the kingdom are dominion spirits; although there must first be a deliverance from principalities and power.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Eph. 6:12). Some people have taught this verse with an idea of Satan attacking their finances. But spirits are not financial beings; they are not ordinary. They have wombs (for birthing) and were designed by the might of the Menorah before they fell. They are knowledge-framed and revelational beings. The ability of men to understand revelation scares them but this understanding also matters to them because it is their essence.
What makes princes (high spirits) to be as they are is revelation. Principalities and powers are little princes. They are princes in their rights because they can affect the eyes (sight or judgement) and the thoughts of men. They can make one think in a way he ought not to think and also make him blind. Your evaluation of things (how you think and reason) shows who you are. Those are the iron bars or bondages that hold men captive.
When a spirit binds a soul with iron, he does this with the thoughts of iron. This does not refer to physical iron but a manifestation of the thought nature. The nature of an element reveals the thought pattern or the DNA of the thought. This is why it is difficult to break these thoughts. A spirit can bind people with iron in their minds, and nothing would be done except God brings judgement and melts that iron. The original identity of these spirits (in the positive) is that they are beings of dominion, from the least to the greatest.
“The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. [20] Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. [21] Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. [22] Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.” (Psa. 103:19-22). The beings described in these verses are angels. There are angels that are referred to as names, and there are also those who are referred to as principalities, power, might and dominion (Eph. 1:21). The angels who “do His pleasure” are another dimension of angels who are different from the ones previously described. They all have places of dominion and they are not the same in ranking. The highest of them are thrones, for their exercise of reign is thronic. Next to them are dominions (also called might), principalities, and powers. A spirit can have dominion but may not be or have a throne.
God wants us to be tied to the angelic. Any man who has the understanding of angels has been exposed to them. The reason why Satan ensured that men do not have an understanding of angels is to shut down the activities of angels. You cannot see these things naturally or just by reading the Bible. One of the angels needs to come to open your eyes. Then, initiation has taken place. Paul could align with the Spirit because he was taught this by revelation.
Lucifer fell with angels who were below his strata because he could not lie to the angels who were in his realm (Cherubims). This is because the angels in his realm knew the things that he knew. When these spirits fell, they came into our world in their numbers and spread their civilization. What is called the dominion of darkness is what gave kingdoms to kings, but it is not the true dominion. As such, what these spirits gave to men is not the real dominion. What they gave to man is nonsense, and it has no gain. They gave perishable crowns to men and divided their dominion in several ways.
The reason they give men those things is to make men busy and passionate, while blinding them away from what God offers. These spirits are behind men who are confident in this world. They are behind pushing us into all manner of dominions and at the same time, they want to keep us busy so that we will think that these things in nature are profits. The gain of these spirits is the edge they have over us, so that we would still be under them. If they do not have a place (over men) to stand on, they will expire and their time will pass. It is men that are giving them a legal ground to remain.
The reason Satan came into the garden to tempt Adam was because he was looking for a footstool, so that he could argue with God not to go to lake. Satan’s intention is that he will not go to lake. As long as what God loves (man) still loves him, God will not throw Satan to lake. The fullness of time is when men willingly disobey demons. Casting demons out is not tormenting them, but just taking them out of a particular space. Demonic oppression follows disobedience. When you cast out demons, the dominion of Satan has not yet been broken. Those demons are little deviations to further distract man from the true dominion.
“Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:20). Until your name is written in heaven, Satan will not fall down like lightning (Luke 10:18). This has not yet happened. Dragons are not ordinary creatures; they are very high evil spirits. But we will see many of them falling. Angels are warring with them, and as they war, those dragons will fall and be dispossessed.
“Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.” (Psa. 91:13). An adder is a snake, but there is also a lion who is an adder. That lion is an old serpent or an old lion. The lion and adder is one manifestation that has two faces to it. The next one is a young lion who is a dragon. The young lion is a dragon, for the old lion is weak. A young lion is able to drag, just as a dragon. What an old lion has is skill and the adder depends on its intelligence. But the young lion has both intelligence and strength. These two creatures are the beings we fight. Dogs are spirits against Christ but the young lion is the one we will overcome before we enter into Eternal Life.
These spirits prey on men and use them to buy time. This is because Satan wants to take man to a place where He will prevent God from casting him to lake. After he is through with man, he desires to step into heavens. Satan is not leaving any open space; he wants to take the earth. This is why the number of men in disobedience is more than those in obedience. However, if a critical mass in righteousness can disobey Satan, his kingdom will expire. If there are one hundred and forty-four thousand (144,000) people who can obey God, this number can erase the claim of the adversary (Rev. 14:1-5).
God is fighting a legal war. He is looking for a legal number of men for Michael to make war with the dragon. Michael has already won the war; there is no way that the dragon can win a war against Him. But it is our disobedience that keeps us defeated. Satan is fighting us individually and warring with our minds so that the legal war can be lost. God is however a righteous judge, therefore, Jesus is interceding for us (Rom. 8:34). Some people have not denied ungodliness and worldly lust and still claim to be a new creation. Most Christians are new in their spirits but not in their souls. Therefore, this legal war must be fought with righteousness.
“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” (Eph. 5:16). The evil day is a time, but there is a need to redeem the time. We redeem the time by obedience and walking circumspectly (Eph. 5:15). When you redeem the time, you will pull the carpet off Satan's feet. You redeem the time by being wise and walking according to the will of God. It is a generation that obeys that will redeem time. Even after being born of water and spirit, it is not enough for ones’ name to be written in heaven.
“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:15-16). When Jesus is lifted up, He will give men Eternal Life. The word “perish” appeared in the two verses, but the promise differs — one is Eternal Life while the other is everlasting life. If the Son of Man is not lifted up, man will never have Eternal Life. It will take a man like Moses to lift the Son.
An ordinary man cannot lift the serpent; it is he who has arisen from the earth that can lift him up. Therefore, God will need a prophet to lift the Son up. To lift Him is to magnify Him by the Holy Ghost. It means to reveal the Son of man as the Son of God. When He is seen as the Son of God, whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life (John 3:15). The preaching that lifts the Son of man is the same preaching that will give both everlasting life and Eternal Life.
Earthly things are meant for us to believe that we may find entrance into the kingdom. You must be an earth of the kingdom before you can be an heaven of the kingdom. You cannot, from the earth that is outside the kingdom of God, enter the heavens that are in the kingdom. Heavenly things are of the Son of God and it contains two messages. These are what make up the heavenly gospel. The first heavenly message is everlasting life and the last is Eternal Life. Before you can receive heavenly things, you must ascend from the earth.
Lucifer said he will ascend and sit, not even stand (Isa. 14:13). He did not say this based on his might but in terms of legal power. Lucifer is unlawful but he is legal in his actions. He acts based on his wisdom, seeking to ascend into heavens by laws. But there is a legal means of ascending, which is to deny worldliness and ungodly laws. Then, one will come to the holy mountain of God. However, Lucifer sought to get there by another means.
When you are on the holy mountain, you will be given heavenly things. We ought to use the earth to ascend into heaven. Thus, the feasts of Christ are for ascension so we can stand on the holy hill of the Lord. We must walk worthy of our vocation (Eph. 4:1) and become perfected in Christ, in order to ascend. This is the nature of the warfare we are engaged with, for Satan wants to hinder our ascension and bring us down.
Satan took Jesus to a high mountain and the pinnacle of the temple in order to bring Him down (Matt. 4:5-10). The mountain is the first place where you will see the glories of this world; it is the level of Christ. Jesus had gone past this level but Satan wanted Him to break this law. He wanted Jesus to foul godliness. The pinnacle of the temple is the Holiest of All, typifying everlasting life. After a person has ascended, there are two messages he will hear — everlasting life and Eternal Life.
To be on the mountain is different from being in the mountain. When one is on the mountain, he has arrived at the Holiest of All, but you need the mountain to arrive at the Holiest of All. This nature of warfare is to hinder us from climbing up to the peak of the mountain. It is at the peak of the mountain that we hear the voice of the Son of God, speaking of His kingdom which cannot be moved. The kingdom that cannot be moved is the kingdom of the Son of God.
When one comes to the mountain, he has come to the blood of sprinkling which speaks birth. This blood speaks better things than the blood of Abel (Heb. 12:24). These better things are speakings of the birth of grace. It is a call to be graciously born or to be a son of the grace of God, until that man fully goes through the gracious birth and becomes fully born by God. When a man has come to this stage of being fully begotten, he can be said to have everlasting life, through the speaking of the Son. Then, he cannot perish.
The blood of Jesus speaks better things than the blood of Abel. The proceedings of the blood immunes one from perishing. When the blood is sprinkled, it opens one to its world. Embedded in blood are books, which makes one see secret things. The blood shows one the end of corruption, and the secret of Satan — where he sinned from. We must know the sins Satan committed; these are the things in him. They are his thoughts, which are also inside us as seeds.
The blood of Jesus trains us to reject Satan’s things. It gives us the opportunity to be exposed to temptation. If you are not tempted, there would not be room to expire Satan’s things. Therefore, we should count it all joy when we are tempted (James 1:2) because through this, we gain the opportunity to defeat the enemy completely. It is good for God to pull out things in us so that we will be healed.
The seed of the serpent is the corruptible seed; it is not this world for it is higher than it. Everyone has a latent part of this seed that has not been obeyed. The day a person sees the seed, it will pull him. This pull is a call for birth but we are expected to refuse his offer. Jesus is praying for us until the expiration of this seed. We expire seeds by not taking thoughts or acting on them when they come, for it is then they will naturally die. There is a birth program that is embedded in the seed and if we do not allow it to run, it will wither away and die.
The key to overcoming Satan is the key of David. This is the key of mercy, which we must look for. When we look for it, we would not just find grace, but also seek for mercy to find mercy. Mercy is Eternal Life. Everlasting life is great; it enables a person to gain a crown of keeping himself (Jude 1:21). It is an overcoming life but Eternal Life is weightier. Mercy is the quick operation of life (Rev. 22:12). Every merciful being is a quickening spirit. One who wears the nature of God is a merciful being. God is a spirit and He is weaved in mercy. Therefore, His seat is called the mercy seat.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.” (Eph. 2:4). Mercy is not pardon. Before mercy can pardon, it has to be converted to grace, and from grace to forgiveness. The great love in the verse above is grace. When God commends His love to us, it means He is gracious to us, and so, He can forgive us. Mercy is a realm of eternity, for it is a product of the Head. The tree of life, hidden manna, white stone, and the white raiment are all merciful substances. The white raiment (Rev. 3:5) is different from the linen (Rev. 19:8) because the linen is an everlasting clothing for approaching God. When God is clothing one with a change of raiment, his linen is changed to a white raiment. The white raiment represents Eternal Life.
The white garment is a merciful garment. We must get to the point where we walk with Him in white. We need to walk with Him so we can gather the education of Eternal Light. Anyone who has these operations is in heaven; this is how we write our names in heaven. Lucifer was a son, so he had some eternity but it was not God’s own. It is this mercy of God that will subdue him. When we walk into Eternal Life and God begins to reveal Himself in us, Lucifer will lose his place. Some people must walk in Eternal Life in this world.
Blessings!
