The God of this World - Spirit Life Part 4

Build with Hari Rao

This week Prophet Hari brings the 3rd level of warfare into consideration, which is the god of this world (Satan). The three levels of warfare we unveil in this series is derived from Ephesians 2:2-3. Last week we covered 1- The flesh, and 2- The systems of the world.

Going deeper, in this teaching we will discuss the course of the world which is led by the enemy, Satan. There is a force, the structures to the lusts of the flesh, which is the course of the world, or the systems of the world. It is the environment which decides the direction of sin. The systems of the world create a path for sin. What’s important to note is that the devil is not the god of the earth, he is the god of this world. The earth belongs to the Lord.

The devil's designs, desires and agendas are contrary to God. The devil introduces his world implicitly; his rule is not always seen or explicit. He is the power behind many behaviours and thoughts. Many in the world, without knowledge and consent, are dancing to the tune of the enemy. The only legal way to achieve the redemption of man is by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, how He offered His body as a living sacrifice for us.

In this Kingdom, we don’t measure success only by outcomes, we measure success by how you go about attaining it. What were the tools employed? Is the example of that way found in Jesus? Your body, time, and space is either going to be used for the Kingdom of God or for the prince of the air (the course of this world). Your money can either glorify God or it can serve another master. The biggest problem of poverty is that you fail to honour God with your substance. The highest purpose money can serve is glorifying God.

With all this in mind, the following is a key that we must be mindful of. We must learn to exercise dominion over our bodies. A sin that becomes a habit is dangerous. When sin is repeated it becomes a stronghold in the flesh. It makes space for a spirit to come and occupy that territory. A stronghold can become fortified because of a demonic presence. If you’re not delivered it’s only a matter of time that you’ll return to that pattern. If the stronghold isn’t broken in your lifetime, it can be passed on to the next generation. Thankfully, as children of God we are anointed to overcome patterns! Bloodlines are spiritual real estate. It’s the system that God put in place to transfer image and likeness; it’s how the spiritual substance is transferred. May you be the Joshua in your family that cleanses your bloodline and breaks strongholds. The only solution is the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

A true child of God is constantly at war with the flesh and the systems of the world. A believer is called to be a source for good, for God and the Kingdom of Light. Light doesn’t run from darkness. Light by nature is transformative. We are an extension of another reality on earth. May your light shine bright!
