Sonship & Spiritual Warfare (3 of 3)

I was in a meeting in Singapore, and God started to move, and demons started to manifest and scream out. Pastor Kong and his parents were there, and his mother said: what's going on? The father said: I see there's a greater spirit at work here - and we need to respond to that. These others are scared of it! So, just by seeing that happen, they came up on the altar call, and gave their hearts to Christ. We want to be connected to the stronger power.

Oh God, Your throne will rule forever! Amen! We're the winners! He is the winner! He's already won! He's waiting for us to take hold of His victory; and to rise up and win!

#5 - To undermine and replace kingdom order in relationships.

To undermine marriages and families, undermine church leadership, undermine governmental authorities, undermine authorities all through society. Any kingdom order that God has set up, and put in place - this spirit wants to undermine that order.

Here's the thing... People want God's blessing; but God blesses what He orders. God doesn't bless chaos; He blesses things which come into order. He's a God of order. All of nature has got order in it; it's ordered by God.

The spirit world has order in it too, so my role is to seek first His kingdom, meaning to align with His order, and priorities, in my relationships. If I'm aligned, then I'm automatically positioned, by the faith I've expressed, for God's blessing to flow.

Understand then, that the devil wants to corrupt God's order everywhere - to make men passive, so they don't pray, and become a priest and a leader in their home. Now we have a whole culture that reinforces that. You've got to join the rebellion against that, and stand up and say: actually, we want our lives in God's order. We want men standing up, and being the head of the home, as God called them to be.

Now it may not be a PC kind of language, but I tell you what the Bible says…

“God is the head of Christ. Christ is the head of the man; but man is the head of the woman”.

There is a governmental order. It's not an order of who's important, and who's not important. It's a functionality, to make it work. It's about fulfilling your rightful role, that you're appointed to fulfil - men and women standing together, rightly aligned, so they have authority in the spirit, and can put an umbrella of spiritual protection over the family.

The biggest problem with men, is the roots of rejection, that cause them to become passive, and fail to fulfil their responsibility to lead, and be a priest in their home.

When you take that line, it doesn't really matter why you took it. When you take that line, you are surrendering to the spirit, and permitting, or tolerating, disorder spiritually in the home. Then you wonder why you've got problems…

There's no authority to bring covering over the family. If you're a woman, and you've been hurt, and you never resolve it, then you start to want to control everything, so you feel safe - but then you're out of order, and now you've got a problem. You now are the doorway through which the spirit comes. Your husband has allowed it to be there, and so there's chaos, and constant conflict.

Or, it can be the other way - it may be that the man has been abused, or hurt, or whatever; and he's now got the spirit around his life, such that now he's the controlling, abusive leader in the family. Now he's totally out of order. He's violating God's order, that the man should lead, and serve, and love his family - so he's violating God's order. By violating God's order of functionality, he gives permission for the spirit to operate.

We can still go to church on Sundays; yet we have no power in our lives - why is that? Oh, perhaps you should pray for me? No, no, I want to change you, so you come into divine alignment! If you come into divine alignment, the result is outstanding. God's blessing comes around your life, and that means favour comes around your life. It means that opportunities come.

In other words, we should “Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness” – meaning right order, right relationships, right functionality - and everything you need is added. You initiate a law, that brings the presence of God, and the blessing of God, into your life.

But people react, you see… Our culture is totally against kingdom order. You stand up, and start to talk this, and speak this, and say this… you will unleash hatred against yourself. Where is that coming from? That old spirit, which hates the prophetic, and wants to shut down and destroy God's order. It's an old spirit - there's nothing new about it; but now you see it, and it's very, very violent; and it's very expressive, and it's showing itself all through the west now. The media - you can see it everywhere; you can see it all over the place. It's very tangibly visible. You say something, and immediately, you're falsely accused. That's what's going on! That's where the warfare is!
