The Two Spiritual Kingdoms.

Man has made many kingdoms and nations on earth but there are really only two kingdoms:

The Kingdom of God: This is in heaven and not on earth. Jesus said it was also in those who followed Him.

The kingdom of His enemy, Satan: This is on earth and the atmosphere surrounding it as well as the space around earth. This is why the earth world is in such a mess.

Angels and demons work in the spirituak plane which we cannot see unles God allows us to see it. We live in the physical plane. It is called this because we can see and touch the things in nit.

Satan only has a kingdom because God allows him too. God owns every thing including the kingdom of Satan and Jesus is coming back soon to remove Satan as it's king and rule his place.

At Calvary Jesus defeated Satan and obtained all Satan had because Satan was now His prisoner along with all he had ruled. This is why Christians can order demons to leave if done in this accordance with the Will of Jews and in The Name of Jesus.

The two deliverances

When you truly decide to follow Jesus as your Lord, beause you want too and not because you havwe been forced too,The Father in heaven removes you from the kingdom of Satan and makes you a citizen of the Kingdom of God and gives you the Holy Spirit to live in your spirit to show Satan you belong to God.

The second deliverance is when all the hurts, demons or Satan places on, in or around you are removed (cast off and healed in Jesus' Name).

Where are you in these kingdoms?

You are either in one kingdom or the other. There is no place in between. You are either following Jesus or following Satan.

If you are not obeying Jesus you are helping Satan.

Salvation.

Salvation is what we call our deliverance from Satan's kingdom when the Father in heaven transfers us to His Kingdom and makes us a citizen of it.

This occurs when we decide of our own choice to follow Jesus we our ruler and reject Satan as our ruler. To do this we must declare we follow Jesus and to stop doing any thing He does not want us to do.

Jesus Loves us and when we do not do what He wants us to do it makes Him sad. It hurts His love for us but even more, if we disobey Jesus on purpose it upsets Him as we then fellow Satan and if we are really bad we will go to hell instead of heaven because we will turn our back on Jesus as we follow Satan as our king.

Who ever you fellow determines where you go when you die:

If you follow Satan and not obey Jesus you go to hell when you die.

If you follow Jesus you will go too heaven when you die.

You do not have to live a perfect life All Jesus wants you to do is to try and obey Him. You will make mistakes but all you need to do is to stop doing the wrong thing and keep trying to do what He wants you to. This is called repentance.

God forgave all you did wrong at Calvary so you do not need to ask Him to forgive you as it is already done by Him. You may have to live with the physical consequences of your wrong (and Jesus can will help you with that if you ask) but spiritually all is dealt with by God. All He asks is that you repent and keep trying to obey Him. You do not get to heaven because you lived a life without failure. You get there because you kept trying to obey Him no matter what Satan did to you or what mistakes you made or failures you had.

God looks at our heart not and how important we are on what we have achieved in this world. He looks at how we related to Him, tried to follow Him, and what we did for Him when He determines where we end up: heaven or hell!

God has given as a warning. If we do not forgive others as He has forgiven us at Calvary we do not get to heaven. If we do not forgive others when they hurt us we are disobeying God's command to love others as He Loves them, so God cannot allow us into heaven as we are deliberately disobedient. Once we forgive them God can accept us into heaven.

If we have offended someone we must try to restore the relationship with them or God cannot accept any thing we do for Him and He cannot bless us as He would like too.

You are to forgive them, even If they do not forgive you and are to try and reconcile even if they do not accept your efforts to do so. That is all Jesus asks of you.

The Battle

A follower of Jesus belongs to The Kingdom God but lives on earth in Satan's kingdom so Satan is always seeking to attack them and recapture them for his purposes.

So you are always in danger of being attacked by Satan and His demons.

Because Jesus defeated Satan at Calvary, He can tell Satan what to do so that you will never face an attack of Satan that is more than you can manage as Jesus limits Satan in the ways he can attack you as well as how a much he can attack you!

How do you fight an attack of Satan, the Devil?

Satan can only get you to do something if you accept his suggestion and agree to do it. If you do not agree to do what he wants you to do you will not disobey God. This not accepting what he suggests stops you from sinning (disobeying God). It does not get rid of him. To get rid of him you need to use the authority Jesus has given you. You have the right to tell Satan to go to the abyss in Jesus' Name and to tell him to stay there and not come back.

Whatever Jesus is King of in your life Satan is not able to use, only to attack (if Jesus lets him).

You can use the five step pattern that follows to deal with Satan. This will give the situation, even or problem to Jesus to be lord of so Satan must leave it and can no longer use it!

The Five steps for Children

When you have a temptation or problem tell Jesus that you want to do what He wants you to do

Tell him you are sorry for what you did wrong and ask Him to help you forgive everyone who hurt you and to help you and love them as He does

Tell Satan to go to the abyss in Jesus Name as you do not want what He is wanting you to do

In Jesus Name command healing and restoration of all the hurts Satan did to you

Ask Holy Spirit to take the place of Satan and to help you to live as Jesus wants you to.

We only need to tell Jesus your sins and no one else. We may have faults and weaknesses and these we can tell those trying to help us use the five steps but they do not need to know the sin we do as a result of these weaknesses.

Once you have told Jesus you are sorry you did wrong using the five steps you should not feel bad any more about having done the sins (wrong things). If you still feel bad about these sins then it is demons trying to make you unhappy and miserable so tell the demon to go to the abyss in Jesus Name and not come back.

The only way Satan can attack you is to affect your body in some way so you will like what is happening and sin or places thoughts, altitudes or emotions in you so you will do what they want you to do.

He also may attack you through another person through the hurtful things they say to you. When someone says something bad about you do not react or get upset. If they are correct God may need to change things in your life. If they are wrong ignore them and do not let their problems become your problems.

You can pray all you want to about something wrong that is happening but unless you tell the demon to go in Jesus Name that demon will always be there using your hurts to try and get you to sin. This is why we have the second deliverance from the effects of Satan and his kingdom you!

Prayers

Dear Father in heaven.

I am sorry for the wrong things I have done.

I forgive people who have hurt because you ask me too and will try and fix up anything wrong I have done to others.

I do this because I want Jesus to be the King of my life and to obey Him in everything that I do. So I give you my life, my mind, my heart, all I am as a person, to use as you want too.

I ask you Holy Spirit to lead me and to teach me how to fellow Jesus and to live as I should as a follower of Jesus.

I declare I do not want anything Satan has placed on, in or around me in any way or at anytime without my agreeing to these things being done to me . Any thing in my soul, or body that is from Satan I do not want. I want only what Jesus gives me.

I say to Satan, I have given all these thing to Jesus to be King over so you no longer can stay in these areas of mt life or use them in any way.

Go to the abyss now in Jesus' Name and stay there.

In Jesus Name I command healing and restoration on all the damage of any type Satan did to me and I ask you Holy Spirit to fill my soul and replace all the demons that have gone.

Thank you Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit

Whenever Satan attacks you, you need to work out if the demon is inside you or outside of you. If it is inside you then you need to do the five steps. If they are outside of you, you only need to command them to go to the abyss in James' Name and ask the Holy Spirit to take their place.

You can also use these two ways of dealing with demons when they are attaching things you or others own.

Remember that Satan tries to:

Stop you following what Jesus wants you to do and follow what he wants you to do

To doubt God's Love to you so it is harder to trust and love God and follow Him

Prevent you trusting God's love, purposes, control and plans for your life so you will stop trusting Jesus and do what Satan suggests you do which is to try and do it yourself as you are afraid God will not or can not do it.

Prevent you properly understanding the truths of Jesus and what He wants you to do so Satan can place his plans in your mind instead of what Jesus wnats to place there.

Satan tries you to get you to stop focusing on Jesus and what He wants you to do and to do what Satan wants you to do so he can guide you in the way he wants you to do and behave. He will try and get you to concentrate on yhour problems and not Jesus the problem solver.

How to hear The Holy Spirit

We serve God and no one else. He may tell you to serve others for His purposes and the purpose of His Kingdom. So how do you know what God wants you to do? Jesus said that we could only do this properly if the Holy Spirit led us and guided us in this!

Unless the Holy spirit or Satan actually show themselves to you, the only way they can speak to you is in your mind!

What they place in it will appear like your own thoughts, altitudes feelings, emotions or imagination and may even be a voice you hear. So you need to work out if what you hear or feel is from you, the Holy Spirit or from Satan.

The Holy Spirit never ask you to do anything wrong and you will have peace in your heart when He asks you to do any thing.

When Satan asks you to do something you will not have peace and will feel something is wrong.

If you have any problems you can ask The Holy Spirit to help you. He will help you with anything unless God does not want you to hear the answer yet in which case He will say nothing. Sometimes God does this so Satan will now know what God wants to do. You just have to trust God and wait for Him to guide you or answer you. Until The Holy Spirit tells you what God wants you to do you do not do anything but wait for His answer. You do not try and help God as it will only cause you problems.

Sometimes a demon will stop you hearing the Holy Spirit so you will need to cast it out in Jesus' Name to the Abyss and ask The Holy Spirit the question again.

What we should think about

Jesus told us to get to know God better and to focus on what God wants you to do (Mat 6.33)

We are told to give all to Jesus to be Lord (King) of. (Rom 12: I-3) and to always concentrate on the things Jesus wants you to do (Col 3:1-3).

As your King, Jesus can protect you and give you all you need to live and serve Him. There is often a big difference between what you think you need and what God says you need. IF you buy things you do not need or do things that you do not need to do they will use up your money and time so you will not be able to do what God wanted you to do with that money or time.

All we have belongs to God and we are just caretakers of it so you need to ask Him what to do with whatever He has given you to care for Him.

You must learn the knowledge you need so that you know what you need to do to live and obey Jesus without another having to tell you what to do. Thus is maturity and true independence. People will be there to guide you but you are usually able to make the correct decision alone under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and are able to do what Jesus wants you to do without the need of another to help you, This does not mean God will not send others to help you in trials but that in ordinary daily living you are able to handle everything you face without the help of others.

Worship

Worship is the act of admitting someone is greater than you and that it is worth following them. Satan wants people to worship him by doing what he wants them to do. We show we worship Jesus by obeying Him out of Love for what He has done for us. As we obey Him in all we do it is an act of worship so that our life becomes a continual act of worship. Even the everyday things like sweeping the floor or washing the dishes is worship if it is done property because He asks you to do things properly and not complain or do them carelessly.

So as you do things properly without complaining and out of love for Him you worship Jesus because you are doing it in the way He asks you to do it.

Your value as a person

You are valuable as a person and have worth because God says you are precious to Him and not because of what others say. What God thinks of you is important and not what others think who may say bad things about you that are not true so they will feel better.

Always remember to ask The Holy Spirit if what someone says about you is true. If it is then you need to go to Jesus and ask what to do about it. You may need to pray the five steps or simply change an altitude or the way you are doing something.

Remember, you are not bad but what you are doing may be. This is why God says to love people and hate wat they do wrong but not them. You are only evil if you reject Jesus and continue on purpose not to do what He says to do.

Remember that failure is not important but how you deal with it is. Learn any lessens you need to from the failure. Repent of anything you have done wrong to another person and keep following Jesus. Do not look to the past and its failings as Satan will use these to try and stop you succeeding. Life is a series of failures. Dealt with properly they help you grow. Dealt with incorrectly they will stunt your growth and maturity as a Christian and may even eventually destroy you as a person.

Remember that your purpose for living is to serve Jesus your King and not a minister, parents or another. He may say to obey them which is why you obey them and by obeying them you are obeying Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is your guide and teacher, telling what Jesus wants you to do teaching you what Jesus wants you to know as well as helping you work through any problems you have. So you need to develop the relationship you have with Him so He can help you develop the relationship you have with The Father and Jesus.

Life is a continual series of choices either for Jesus or for the things of Satan. You alone make these choices and it these choices you will have to explain to Jesus when you face Him and are judged for what you did with your life.

You may make wrong choices because you did not knew the truth. This is why it is so important to Study the Bible and memorise its truths. Remember, Jesus will judge you for how you obey what you know of His requirements and not what you did not know to do. But if you knew you needed to learn something to know how obey Him properly and decided not to learn it, you will be judged by Jesus for this.

In conclusion I remind you that every wrong word you deliberately say that leads to His love not been showing you will have to explain to Jesus why you said it when you face Him to have your life judged by Him.

Remeber that God weill never ask you to do or face anything He has not prepared you to face or do and that THe Holy SPirit lives in you and will always helps you as you seek to obey and serve Jesus in all you do.
