 FROM
THE DESK OF STEVE SHULTZ:
In the pre-Adamic time period in Heaven
(the time before the World was created and Adam and Eve along with it), we have
more that we DO NOT know --than that which we DO know. What the
Church seems to "know" about this pre-earth time period and Satan is this:
Rev 12:4 --
4 His tail swept a third of
the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in
front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her
child the moment it was born. ... [and then] Revelation 12:9 which says:
So the great Dragon
was cast out, that serpent of old, called the devil and Satan, who deceives
the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with
him.
Many of God's prophets are receiving
revelation in these days about the levels of angelic and demonic rule on earth.
As it turns out, there is quite a difference between demons and simply The
Angels (messengers) who were cast out of Heaven along with Satan.
Some of this is of course by revelation
and other is speculation only. Use this article to "speculate" with God just
how He has partnered with his people to dethrone the works of Satan who came
only to kill, steal, and destroy.
Blessings,
Steve Shultz

Worship for
Spiritual Warfare

 "You
are the anointed Cherub that covers; and I have set you so: you were upon the
holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of
fire. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity
was found in you." -- Ezekiel 28:14
The Lord often does things in threes. He reveals Himself as Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. He created us as spirit, soul, and body. He created three
archangels: Michael - the warrior; Gabriel - the messenger; and Satan--the
worshipper (the anointed Cherub).
"You have
been in Eden the garden of God; … every precious stone was your covering, the
workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day
you were created." -- Ezekiel 28:13
Satan was created to be an "instrument" of
worship. Within him was the workmanship of a powerful and mighty pipe organ. He
led all creation in the worship of God, but because of pride, he fell from this
place of ministry and responsibility, and corrupted both man and the earth.
After deceiving Eve, the Lord appeared to him and said:
"And I will
put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it
shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." -- Genesis
3:15
ÂÂ
"Lord, why
don't you get rid of Satan?"
I have asked, "Lord, why don't you get rid
of Satan?" The Lord responded and said "I am not going to do this, as you are to
do it--the seed of the woman is to bruise Satan's head." That is, we, through
Christ, are to defeat Satan and the fallen angels. So then, how are we to do
this?
"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."
-- Ephesians 6:12
In wrestling, the winner is the one who has
successfully weakened and displaced the strength of his opponent. We are called
to displace the strength of Satan by taking his place as a "worshipper" of our
Lord.
Satan was created to worship before the throne, in the presence of the
manifested glory of God, as he "...walked up and down
in the midst of the stones of fire." So also, we should experience
the manifested glory of God, as we are lifted to join the choirs of heaven in
"high praises." As we approach the end-time, many are beginning to hear these
choirs of heaven singing with us.
"Let the high
praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand."
-- Psalm 149:6
With this "two-edged sword," we are to
"bruise his head" (render Satan helpless and unable to function) through
our being lifted into a realm of pure "worship" that merges into the harmony of
heaven. This is as an airplane going through the sound barrier.
However, this "bruising of his head" has not been as effective as it should be.
This is because the necessary "harmony" is missing in much of the worship music
today, which enables us to rise up into the heavens, so these fallen
principalities can be "displaced."
"And the
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceives the whole world: he was cast out in to the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him." -- Revelation 12:9
Jesus said:
"Heal the
sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils (demons)."
-- Matthew 10:8
Demons are disembodied spirits, in all
probability from a pre-adamic creation that was destroyed (cast down to earth),
in which the earth "became without form and void." Jesus said that we are to
cast these demons out of individuals, whom they have entered and possess.
Satan is an angel, a separate created being, who fell from his high calling. One
third of the angels joined with him, and also were cast out of heaven. These
cannot be cast out of an individual, as they were never in. Instead, the Word
tells us that we are to "wrestle" against these fallen principalities, powers,
and the rulers of the darkness of this world.
ÂÂ
As we
"wrestle" (worship)...
As we "wrestle" (worship), we weaken them by replacing their strength with our
strength. Because Satan led the worship of heaven, we displace his strength and
power with our "worship." The more we worship, the greater the displacement.
During a meeting in our nation's capitol, as we worshipped in a high level of
harmony, we began to go through the earthly barrier into the heavenly realm.
Suddenly, there came an unusual witness that we were affecting the
principalities that darken the heavens over Washington DC.
As we worshipped, these principalities, powers, and the rulers of darkness,
began to go into disarray. They could not stand this high level of "worship" in
the harmony of heaven. A flow of pure worship of the Lord will bring terror into
their being, and they become weakened and loose their "ability to function."
The heart of spiritual warfare is worship
The heart of spiritual warfare is worship.
It is not our pronouncements, casting out, or our trying to command
principalities, that will cleanse the heavens. Rather, it is our worship that
flows up and unites with the harmony of heaven that will defeat them. When we
come together in union, and enter into this high level of worship, we literally
"bring down" principalities from their place of control.
Judicially, we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. However,
experientially, we must come up into this place of spiritual authority, as the
enemy is entrenched there. Therefore, he has to be pushed out. We can do this
because we have the right to be there, not the enemy.
"To the
intent that now to the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be
known by the church the manifold wisdom of God." -- Ephesians 3:10
We have heard that we are to sing, usually
three songs, to get ready to hear the Word. Rather, the "quickened" Word of the
Lord prepares, or enables us to not only "worship," but to become a worshipper.
It is through the worship of a "worshipper" that principalities are hindered and
brought down.
When we begin to understand why we must move away from the beat of present day
church music, and begin to worship in harmony, we will "become" a worshipper,
and begin to displace Satan.
"He who smote
the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in
anger, is persecuted and none hinders. The whole earth is at rest, and is
quiet: they break forth into singing. Yea, the fir trees rejoice at you, and
the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since you are laid down, no feller is come up
against us." -- Isaiah 14:6-8
At this present time, the ability to
worship in harmony is not available in many worship services. Therefore, we have
to push through, with determination, in order to truly worship. Our part is to
"wrestle" and displace Satan. In order for our worship to become more effective
against the enemy, we should sanctify and purify our lives. As we do this, our
worship will take on a higher authority and we will take from Satan the "ground"
that he has usurped, and as a result, he will loose his hold on individuals and
nations.
"The Spirit
of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good
tidings to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our
God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give
to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified." -- Isaiah
61:1-3
As we worship,
the Lord will begin to move, and much will be accomplished.
