3.3.7 Three Levels of Spiritual Authority (Part 2)

3.3.7 三個層面屬靈權柄（下）

Shared by: Ming

We continue to talk about the scope of spiritual authority and the field of warfare. First, we need a breakthrough of spiritual authority on a personal level. Darkness operates in people's lives through sin, flesh, spiritual blindness, and trauma.

We all know sin, but what is sin?

Sin is darkness manifested through human sin. Many sinners really do not have the ability to know sin, so they need others to pray for them. Therefore, we mentioned the concept of repentance, which is a kind of repentance called identification, which helps the sinner. What is solved? It is the entanglement around him, so that he can turn to God. When he repents of his sin, transformation occurs. Flesh is also a channel that can operate in human life.

Many times we see that people or groups are full of flesh, and dealing with flesh requires constant prayer and intercession.

Then there are some who are spiritually blind, having wrong beliefs and wrong dogmas that hinder the work of God.

There is another kind of trauma, which is spiritual trauma. So in order to drive out these aspects and let God work in our lives, we must deal with the trauma of life. How do we deal with trauma? Forgiveness and pardon. These are all things that can cause darkness to operate in people's lives.

In fact, we have had many bad aspects and dark parts in the past. Many times, it is because we do not change or secretly nurture them. What do we nurture? We secretly feed our appetite for sin.

We often feel angry or easily offended, but in fact, this is because we secretly feed these dark aspects, whether it is your sin, flesh, spiritual blindness, or spiritual trauma, we secretly feed them, or your self-esteem, you overestimate all these parts of yourself, then what is the key to victory in the battle? Spiritual authority.

If you personally have not overcome, even if you are united in the group, I tell you that you yourself will not possess the anointing and authority.

Because you are not victorious on a personal level.

What we will share next are the different areas of conquest, mainly talking about five areas. These five areas are also the part where we face the conquest. What are these five areas?

The first evil.

The second spirit controlled by evil spirits.

The third evil demon appears in the flesh.

The fourth personal.

The fifth battlefield of the mind.

I will not talk about the latter two today, because we usually talk about them the most in spiritual warfare. Because this is a training, everyone has a foundation, so today I will talk about the aspects that you don’t often encounter - the spirits controlled by the evil spirits, and the physical manifestations of the evil spirits.

As for these sharings, many people in the church will avoid them because we hope that we talk more about God’s word and the work of the Holy Spirit. We all need to focus on the work of the Holy Spirit and on God’s vision. However, when we want to seize more authority in spiritual warfare, we will actually interact with the spiritual world more frequently. When we interact with the spiritual world more frequently, we will encounter them, so it is unavoidable.

The higher you go, the more these levels cannot be avoided. I will give you some concepts, some basic teachings, so that we can know what these levels are like, how we can distinguish them, and what our most basic concepts of them are.

We have talked a lot about the battlefield of the mind and thoughts, and everyone knows this famous verse in 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5. It says that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have power in the presence of God to destroy the strongholds of the enemy and to destroy every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and to obey Christ.

These scriptures and contents all refer to the spiritual battlefield of the mind and thoughts. We have talked about this a lot before. We also know about the battles between people, so we will not talk about it. We will just talk about things that we don’t often encounter. But the more we enter into this high-level spiritual battle, the more we will encounter it.

When did I first come into contact with spiritual warfare? It was in a casino in Malaysia, where I encountered a group of wizards. These wizards were not human, but manifestations in the flesh. They wanted to challenge me in the spiritual world. Because I had no experience at the time, I didn’t know that feathers meant a challenge.

Later, after listening to some sharing from Africa, I realized that the spirit world sometimes gives you feathers. What does feather mean? It is a challenge, which means that they actually have laws to find, and they abide by the laws of the spirit world and want to compete.

So at that time I had no idea that someone had issued a challenge to me. I just felt strange that a battle had started inexplicably. After he appeared, he said directly that we are challenging you now to see who is stronger, you or us.

I don't know how many people have taken the Revelation course, but in this course I talked about the classification of fallen angels, and there are three analogies.

The first is the angel who rebelled with Lucifer. When we talk about fallen angels, we are talking about the angel who fell with Lucifer. They are called devils and are mentioned in Ezekiel 28:16-17, Revelation 4 and Revelation 12:4.

Other group is the one imprisoned in darkness by God in Jude 6, the angelic creatures mentioned in Genesis 6:2, the sons of God.

Then in Jude 6, it says that they did not keep their original position but left their own dwelling place. Therefore, the Lord has chained them in darkness forever, waiting for the final judgment. These rulers have lost the authority given by God, so in the Psalms it is said that God stands in the assembly of the powerful and judges among the gods. The gods mentioned are referring to them. This is another group, which is also mentioned in the Book of Enoch and the Book of Revelation.

In the Book of Revelation, some of them will be released. The latter is mentioned in Isaiah that they will all be released, so where are they imprisoned? Deep in the earth, under the rubble, in the desert. So when you see some ancient relics being excavated, it is possible that this type of fallen messenger will be touched.

The third is an angelic creature appointed to watch over a specific group of people.

Deuteronomy 32 : 8 , John 38 , Daniel 10 , 1 Kings 22 , and Psalm 89. These all talk about the Most High giving the nations their inheritance, dividing the peoples according to the number of the Israelites, and establishing the boundaries of the peoples.

The number of Israelites mentioned here does not refer to the Israelites, but to the sons of God. It means that the boundaries of the people are divided according to the number of the sons of God.

The Book of Job also talks about the morning stars singing together, and the sons of God shouting for joy. We know that the morning stars often represent messengers. Because each star has a name, and the Spirit of God is on it, why are the stars also said to be messengers in the Bible? Because there is energy in the composition of the stars, and we know that part was created by God, because only spirits have such power and ability. The Book of Daniel calls them high-ranking people who are given divine authority by God to guard mankind, and they are called spiritual officials.

They are angels who carry out God's will and have served God. They are powerful and intelligent living beings created by God.

From a wisdom perspective, Satan once brought a large group of angels to follow him and disobeyed God. We know that these evil demons have great power and ability, and the only authority to defeat them comes from Christ.

When we live in Jesus Christ, we have the authority to make these demons rise and fall, and their number is very large. If you only have one-third of the stars mentioned in the Bible, that is already very, very large.

His entire kingdom is highly structured. What does that mean? In the spiritual world, laws are very important and efficient.

In the Bible, God calls them the rulers of the world and the earth. The devil knows the Bible very well, which sometimes exceeds our imagination. Sometimes we think that we can defeat it by reading two passages of scripture, but it is not necessarily the case. His understanding of the Bible is more thorough than yours. What he is best at is distorting and twisting words.

The reason why God’s word is so powerful is because you have obtained the authority and power from God, and it is because of the relationship you have established with God, not because of the word.

If we don’t know the Bible, or don’t understand God’s words, it’s easy for us to fail in this area. It’s easy for God to misinterpret the Bible and God’s words.

Ephesians 6:12 says that the rulers and authorities, the powers over this dark world and over the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places, fought against each other. We know that these powers are divided into levels. They are first, the rulers, second, the authorities, third, the powers, fourth, the rulers of this dark world, and fifth, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Like the Persian prince mentioned in the Bible, we know that he has risen to the position of a ruler, a ruler who governs the country, a ruler who governs the entire country.

The second type of spirit controlled by evil spirits.

We all know that our skin is called flesh, and sometimes the flesh needs to be taken care of, and it is right to protect the flesh, but don't overdo it. When the weather is cold, you should wear clothes. Otherwise, if you get sick, you will blame it on the enemy's attack. It is not necessarily the case. It is because you do not protect your flesh. What you wear in this skin is your soul, which is the real part of you. This is why we need to know the condition of our spiritual man.

We have found that many brothers and sisters see their spirits in their dreams at night. Some people, although they are already in their 40s or 50s, find that their spirits are very small at night. That is because your spirit has not grown up, and that is the real you.

Therefore, in the material world, he will show immaturity. He will also be immature in his spiritual life and in his attitude towards people and things. Some people's spiritual beings are disabled, with missing hands and feet. Why? Because he only cultivates a certain part of his spiritual being and does not allow the spiritual being to develop comprehensively. So remember that the spiritual body of a person is very important.

Once, I went to visit a patient. This person was a sister from my former church. I had a good relationship with her. She had not contacted me for a long time. Then one day she called me and said that her depression had come back and she hoped that I could visit her. I asked her what was wrong. She said that she had been ill since she came back from China. And the disease was very strange. She had to be sent to the ICU , but the hospital said that they could not find out what was wrong after a long examination. She said that she was completely paralyzed and could not move.

Actually, when I went to her house, I was very surprised when I entered her bedroom. I saw an old man standing next to her bed, looking at her. So I described the man and she said it was my father-in-law. I asked her if her father-in-law was dead. She said no, he was still in mainland China.

Later in this matter, it was obvious that it was not an evil spirit, but a human spirit standing next to her. How did I help her later? I asked her to forgive and repent. But the one who really hurt her was the human spirit. Why?

Later I learned that when she returned to mainland China, she went to the hospital to visit a patient. While she was visiting the patient, a person in the next bed suddenly died, so she was a little frightened by the incident. After that, when she returned home, she had some conflicts with her husband's family. She and her father-in-law did not get along very well. During the time she was visiting her family, they had some quarrels, and later she had resentment with her sister-in-law. The seeds were planted. So what did this resentment lead to?

This caused her sister-in-law and father-in-law to resent her very much.

Of course, this conflict has been going on for a long time, so it caused the spirit of this person to come to her bedside. At first, she was unwilling to share this part of the trauma, so I told her that I actually saw two other spirits beside her bed. I said that I could tell that one of them was an evil spirit of death, but two of them were human spirits.

Later, through her experience, I learned that there was an evil spirit of death that followed her to Canada when she was frightened in the hospital. There was also another one, which was her sister-in-law, so she was a woman.

Because she had identified it, it was very easy to deal with the problem at this level. She was able to get up from the bed and walk back to normal. The effect was very fast. From this incident, I knew that in addition to the evil spirits attacking people, the spirits of people would also attack people. This kind of battle would happen.

We know that many people come in and out of our house, so we need to re-anoint and cleanse our house with oil. When you see that something is not right in your home, you quarrel with your husband, your children start to make noises, and there are disputes in your family, I urge everyone to quickly re-anoint your house with oil, because it means that a powerful force has come in.

Perhaps it is power. This is a teaching that everyone involved in spiritual warfare needs to know, because the gate has been breached in a certain area. You declare that this place is under the control of God and seal it, protect it, and make it holy.

Because the realm we live in is like the front and back of a coin, it is in the same space. Since we cannot see the spiritual world, when we do things in the material world, the spiritual world will react. The same is true for the spiritual world. When there is a problem in the spiritual world, the material world will also react. It is very important for you to close this spiritual channel for those who are involved in spiritual warfare.

Suppose you are harmed by the spirit of a Satanist, because we know that there are some evil cults whose spirits can come out, and after coming out, they can attack God's children at night or during the day. Do you remember what method you can use? You can ask someone with the anointing, or ask your leader to anoint you with oil. This is the most effective way to cut off the invasion of human spirits, and it also requires God to protect us. Genesis 12 also talks about the use of anointing oil. The anointing oil can anoint the tabernacle and everything in it to sanctify the tabernacle and all the utensils, and then everything will be sanctified.

The human spirit can speak and act through a person who has an evil spirit or demon living inside him, so for each specific situation, you must have the personal guidance of the Holy Spirit. That includes the treatment methods we are sharing now, which are not effective for everyone. You need the guidance of the Spirit of God at this level.

The third level is the manifestation of the flesh of humans, beasts, and demons.

We know that many movies and stories have plots about vampires, werewolves, and even lizard people and mutants. They appear in many books and movies, but many of us believe that they are fictional because people don't want to talk about them and think they don't exist. But these things actually exist.

In Leviticus 26:6, he said, "I will give peace to your land, and I will destroy the evil beasts from your land." If you have not encountered these things, it is difficult to imagine them, but you will encounter these levels more often as you reach higher levels.

Because he disdains to appear before those who have not made breakthroughs at the collective and individual levels, and because he knows that you are under the dark power at a certain level, he disdains to appear before you, unless he obtains authority in a certain area, then he will appear.

The influence of the devil on our flesh can cause people to completely dedicate themselves to Satan. People who completely dedicate themselves to Satan can ask the devil to live in them, and in this way, their bodies will undergo major changes. You have seen mental patients. It is obvious that mental patients have completely lost their minds. There are some changes in their bodies. What about those who are deeper and more advanced than mental patients? The devil can produce a change in their bodies. This change will cause the body to become similar to the shape of an animal. This is possible.

But in the Bible, there are mentions of such evil beasts, and they are given superhuman powers and characteristics through demons. The more you get into this level, the more you will understand that these levels of lizard people are 100% obedient to Satan.

In Leviticus 26: 6.

Here he makes a very clear distinction between evil beasts and wild beasts. In Leviticus 26:22 he says, "I will also send among you the beasts of the field." This makes a very clear distinction between evil beasts and wild beasts.

Here God tells the Israelites that if you obey his commandments, he will drive the evil beasts out of the land of Canaan, but if you do not keep his commandments, he will send them to kill you.

We know that the beasts of the field belong to God, but the evil beasts do not. The evil beasts do not belong to God.

There is a passage in the Book of Ezekiel that talks about something very interesting. In Ezekiel 8 : 9-10, he says that when Ezekiel entered the temple in Jerusalem, he wanted to see the rituals of demonic and Satanic worship. Israel was performing the rituals of demonic and Satanic worship, and what came with the worship? It was all kinds of fornication.

On the four walls were depicted all kinds of creeping things, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the House of Israel.

The Israelites stayed in Egypt for more than four hundred years, and among the patterns, relics and hieroglyphs excavated in Egypt were images of half-human, half-beast creatures.

The Horus of Egypt is a man with an eagle's head, right? The Israelites stayed in Egypt for more than 400 years, and they secretly revived their worship.

This kind of half-human, half-beast image is what we call the fleshly demon. Jude 7 to 11 mentions Sodom and Gomorrah and the people of the surrounding cities. They were indulged in sexual immorality and followed perverse desires, which will result in the punishment of eternal fire. They defiled their bodies, despised authority, and slandered dignities. The Bible says that what they knew by nature were the same as those of beasts without souls. They walked in the way of Cain and for profit ran straight into the error of Balaam.

We know that Balaam's error was to worship Baal, which is a kind of evil spirit. There are many such scriptures. Worshiping evil spirits and combining with evil spirits can turn into evil beasts.

In this era when Satan was rampant, especially when witchcraft was prevalent, there were some documents that could be found about the existence of werewolves and other beasts, especially during the period of the Reformation.

In our last days, these things will become more and more frequent, because in this age, more and more fallen angels are being released, coupled with various fantasy games, mysterious works, and the loss of love and indifference of Christians. In this environment, more and more evil demons will appear at this level.

In fact, the appearance of this evil beast is because humans and demons have established a relationship that is forbidden by God. The existence of this evil beast is to destroy humans, because they only obey Satan's orders. They will not even obey the commands of evil spirits below their level, including Satan's bride and wizards. These evil beasts will not listen to them because they are at different levels and ranks.

Can these evil beasts be released? I don’t have this experience yet, so I don’t know if the evil beasts can really win, because they have already sold their flesh to the evil demons, but I believe that if these transformed evil beasts are willing to give up their lives, God still has this great power, and will expelling the evil demons within them lead to their physical death? This is also a question.

Usually, because his whole body and flesh have changed, will expelling this part of them lead to the death of their flesh? This also requires God's mercy, and it is also extremely painful for that person's flesh. The weapon we use to fight is the authority from God.

When humans, beasts, and demons appear in the flesh, remember not to be afraid when you encounter them, because fear creates a breach. So no matter what level of dark power you encounter, we who are intercessors and those who engage in spiritual warfare must not be afraid. You must remember one thing: when you walk in destiny, God is with us, and God walks with us. He will not let us fall into such a situation.

One time at night I encountered a werewolf. At that time God was very protective of me. He woke me up a few seconds before it came. I found that the air in the whole room was not right. Then the werewolf appeared at a very fast speed. It passed through the house and the material world, and laid its entire body directly on my quilt. Because my physical body was in my quilt, it came close to my physical body to smell my nostrils, and my spiritual man felt it.

It smelled very bad and its fur was hard. This was not an illusion but a real experience. It was the body of a wolf. It must have been very confusing because the human body does not breathe. I believe that in its cognition it would think that I was dead. This was a real experience of mine.

We can be victorious by relying on God. The spirit will not come out easily. Through what? Through resentment, or through God's permission. Because its source is different, everyone should be careful to distinguish.

These are all very valuable experiences. They have been of great help to me in my battles in the kingdom and regional realms. Thank the Lord. This is also permitted by the Lord, just like what I shared about the alien army in California begging for mercy. The angels let them in because God permitted it. If we assume that God did not permit it, these people would never have encountered us, because God wants to protect us. Thank the Lord.

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for being among us morning and evening. Thank you, God, for leading us into a deeper realm, allowing us to see the levels and structures we may encounter, so that we know that our lives must rely closely on God. When we walk in God's destiny, Lord, you walk with us and support us unconditionally. Lord, we are willing to live such a life and have such a life. Thank and praise the Lord.
