28:11-15. His diabolical nature and fall is described in the angelic King of Tyre.
Before his fall from the kingdom of God, the devil was called Lucifer, the son of the morning. He was described as Mr. Music. Tambourines and pipes were in him. He was a majestic created angel that was filled with musical ability to worship the Lord God. He was also called the anointed cherub. Cherub is a being of angelic order connected with vindicating the holiness of God over the prideful sin of man. As recorded in Ezekiel 28:15-19, the Holy Spirit describes the fall of this majestic cherub from his glorious service to the Lord God. Lucifer got caught up in his own beauty and splendor. In the pride of his beauty and brightness, he became his own authority. In Lucifer’s fall, understand the principle of authority: God’s throne is established in authority! Jesus declared after His resurrection that “…all authority is given unto me in Heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18. Our Father sent Jesus to redeem man, to set men free from the power of sin, Satan and selfishness. Also, He sent Jesus to reconcile men to God and to bring men under His rule or authority. Therefore, we declare by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is Lord. When I was born again, I met authority! He is my Father, I am His adopted son. He is my Lord, I am His servant. He is my commander-in-chief, I am His solider. I am a man under authority; therefore I am a man of faith and favor. I have the authority and anointing to set captives free…to heal the sick and deliver the demonized in Jesus’ name.
In Lucifer’s fall, understand the principle of rebellion. Rebellion means to “rebel, to resist; being disobedient to the will of God Himself.” Rebellion is the principle of self-exaltation. Listen to the voice of pride and self-exaltation in Isaiah 14:13, 14.
“I will ascent into Heaven.” “I will raise my throne above the stars of God.” “I will make my mantle myself like the Most High” or in common language, I rule…I will do what I want to do. I pastored a church in Reserve, Louisiana for thirty-seven years. How often have I seen believers walk away with their “I will’s” – I will do what I want to do; I am hurt, I am offended…I will not forgive…I will leave.
The vision of the church leadership is too much; it’s too hard…I will leave and go down the road. These are the “I wills” of rebellion. To stay free from the darkness and demons, to stay delivered…we must denounce self-rule, or self-will. Rather, we must follow Jesus as Lord and stay in a spirit of repentance, dependence and obedience. God pronounced judgment on Lucifer’s rebellion. “He was cast out of the mountain of God and was cast down to earth. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” Isaiah 14:12. To stay free from darkness and demons and to free others, we must understand Satan’s structure and strategy for ruling nations, communities and individuals. Read and study Ephesians 6:1-12 to see the four-fold listing of the dark kingdom. It is a diabolical structure of controlling regions and even nations.
First, there are principalities: rulers, strongmen or generals who rule over whole regions and nations. There are several principalities assigned to take over nations. We must allow the Holy Spirit to reveal them and the church lead by apostolic generals and prophets who will push back the darkness and diabolical rule. In regards to the USA, the Holy Spirit gave me the prophetic warning, “The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.” Jeremiah 4:7. In the land of the free and home of the brave, the lion has come out of his thicket to destroy our nation as we know it and to make our land desolate.
There are three major principalities over America:
1.The Principality of Humanism: This demonic mindset has taken over the media, our public education and the minds of most political leaders. Under the diabolical mindset of humanism, everything is relative, there are no moral absolutes. There is no need for the Ten Commandments. There is no judgment. There is no heaven and no hell. If it feels good, do it. Abortion is the moral choice of a would-be mother. Same-sex marriage is the moral choice of two males or two females coming together in matrimony. In this mindset, America is going over a moral cliff. We have lost the moral roots that made our nation great, and like the Roman Empire, we are rotting away and being destroyed on the inside.
2.The Principality of Socialism: This dark ruler has taken over our national and political leaders to divide and destroy America. Socialism is a demonic mindset, it is an Anti-Christ form of government that controls and strips a nation of its individual freedoms. Socialism promotes the redistribution of wealth, to steal from the work force to support those who will not work. Obamacare is a masterpiece of socialism; to have a government constructed health care system costing billions of taxpayer’s dollars. Panels of government ruled doctors are being setup to determine who will receive health care in critical cases, especially in regards to the elderly. Many of the leaders in the Democratic Party are socialists and have no regard for the Constitution or for the Judeo-Christian values that made our nation great. The lion has come out of the thicket!
Socialism is a principality that has come to make our land desolate. Socialism is the bedfellow of Communism and Fascism. It is an Anti-Christ form of government that controls, oppresses, and steals individual rights and freedoms. Nazism under Adolf Hitler was National Socialism. Under the tyranny of Hitler, this Anti-Christ mindset murdered over six million Jews and brought Germany into destruction. The Executive Branch and most of the Democrats in the Senate and House are under the dark mindset of this principality. We are in the midst of a demonic take-over of health care, public education, and the business sector including oppressive bank regulations. As a whole the Constitution and Bill of Rights are being ignored and dismantled. Executive orders are bypassing Congress and the Constitution. We are on the brink of tyranny and Anti-Christ take-over. The Lord God has empowered the body to bind the strongman or principality, engage the culture, and take back what the devil has stolen, which is our Christian heritage and righteousness. Let’s do it!
3.The Principality of Islam: This has been assigned to divide and destroy America. Islam is a violent warring principality that is moving through Muslims for national takeover. In the United States, the average Muslim family is having eight children per household. Figure out the math, in the next thirty years they could take over the gates of authority through population explosion. Wake-up church, the lion has come out of the thicket to make our land desolate.
There are other principalities that release a dark mindset over regions and cities. Years ago, I had a castle vision in the heavens. I walked into a castle that was over the gambling city of Las Vegas. As I walked in, I knew I was in a demonic stronghold. Men dressed like kings were in slow but deliberate moves operating over a black-jack table, a roulette table, slot machines, etc. I looked on the wall of the castle and there were large switch gear boxes. I knew what to do…from one switch box to the other, I threw the switches down into an off position and shut down each area of gambling one by one. Then in fear, I ran out of the castle. We have authority to bind the strongman over cities and regions thereby, shutting down the works of darkness giving us a power for a takeover and the harvest of souls. Let’s do it!
The second listing of Satan’s strategy for oppression and control is powers. “We are against principalities and powers…” Ephesians 6:12. Powers are demon spirits that are under the ruling principalities. They derive their power from and execute the will of the principalities or strongmen. There are many evil spirits that carry out Satan’s plan of darkness and oppression over cities, communities or individuals. In regards to individuals, there is a spirit of depression and despair and a spirit of suicide that work together to kill or destroy.
“Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles or schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11. The scheme of an evil spirit is to make an inroad into the mind of an unaware believer. The strategy of demons and darkness is to hammer one thought until it penetrates and oppresses the mind. There are thoughts of failure, thoughts of rejection and self rejection, thoughts of sexual lust and guilt, spirits or thoughts of fear and failures. Evil
