Programme: Special Prayer for the Nations (Grand Finale)
Date: Friday, 3rd February 2023
Transcript Summary
1. There is contention over bodies this season. God cannot be manifested in the flesh until He has established His dominion over the bodies of people. This means there must be victory over bodies for God to manifest Himself in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). As such, manifestation is not accomplished by dialogue but by war (2 Tim. 2:4).
2. There is a program in beings that is also present in God. This program is the ability to take the space of flesh, that is, the ability to take the body. Satan had once ruled over the body of Moses; but towards Moses' old age, Satan’s claim over his body was unwound through obedience, which was a big loss to Satan’s ministry. Satan loses when a man obeys God to the point where Satan loses his hold over him. If a man goes to be with the Lord without reclaiming his body, Satan still has confidence over him.
3. There is a work in the Son that subdues all things under Him. That working is the victory that is through our Lord Jesus. This subjection refers to giving instructions to that which ought to be brought under subjection and commanding its agreement. Death is a force that needs to be clubbed with the rod of iron until it comes under. For God to work on our body, He has to subdue things in our body.
4. The reason Jesus was given power over flesh is that flesh would not naturally respond to the giving of Eternal Life. Flesh must be held bound by a power because men delight in the sweetness of death. Thus, if Jesus does not hold us, we would not endure the receiving of Eternal Life.
5. The enemy perfected his work inside us. As such, we get angry when we are being redeemed from the law that the enemy wrote in us. This is why it takes power for us to be delivered from death; it takes time for us to be given Eternal Life. This is the ministry of the High Priest. Without God’s throne, Eternal Life cannot be given to flesh. We are often criticized for looking for Eternal Life above everything else, including natural things. What men often call natural is no more natural, for the natural has been polluted.
6. Our body is bigger than the whole earth; it is a massive world that God can dwell in. The devil has once intruded and comes after the flesh. This is why the spirit of the antichrist opposes the coming of Jesus in the flesh because he knows that Jesus’ coming will drive him away. The only thing that is not complete is the full manifestation of Satan's entrance into our body, as he has not been able to produce a son of a high order.
7. There had been many antichrists (1 John 2:18) but Satan did not succeed to raise a son of perdition for many generations, but God raised His own Son within 33 years. This shows that there are things the enemy does not yet understand about flesh (body) and the door to the outward man (body) is the soul. The purpose of the salvation of the soul is for God to take our bodies (1 Pet 1:9).
8. Flesh is a way; it is the manifestation of Satan in bodies. Satan has worn the bodies of men. He is a thief and a liar who saw what God wanted to do and hijacked it. He is not the owner of any 'body' but a robber (John 10:8-9). There are robbers but there is the thief (John 10:10). One of the things that the enemy stole is the purpose of God for man, but what God is doing in us is destroying the investment and works of the devil.
9. Satan has flesh. The flesh is the desire of every creature to find extension or expression. To extend, one will have to generate an offspring. Satan is a father, hence, he is a covering and a veil. A covering is a father and a husband. This is why our Father is called the Husbandman (John 15:1). The Father is an offspring raiser; He is one who generates springs.
10. Covering is an innate characteristic that God gave cherubims for them to father. This is why Satan was covering the mountain of the Lord (Ezek. 28:16). He was overseeing that mountain and was spreading a veil. As such, he was both a covering and a veil. Covering and veil are the two realms of a father. When a father shows forth this character, one cannot get out of his hand and that in itself is a manifestation of his flesh because the veil is flesh.
11. The house that is eternal in the heavens is the arrival of an eternal covering. That is the victory, which will not come except without groaning (2 Cor. 5:4; Rom. 8:23). This groaning reflects our dissatisfaction in the natural, including those given by God. When God blessed Abraham with the natural, he began to groan and look for a city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is God (Heb. 11:10).
12. “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory…” (2 Cor. 4:17). The eternal weight of glory is a house or covering. We must keep looking at things that are not seen (2 Cor. 4:18). As we groan, we call for our eternal home. Many souls are not yet seeing the eternal weight of glory. As we commit ourselves to these words, evil spirits will fall. Evil spirits wmmere against this kind of message and as they fall by our obedience, there will be freedom on the earth.
Blessings!
