Do You Remember Me”

A
Personal word to our Precious Readers who are dedicated to the truths of
God’s Endtime Message: You have an ear to hear and that is worth more than
all the wealth of this world! The
Word is in you in the form of God’s own Soul.
Our flesh will die or else be changed, but the Soul is Eternal and will
live forever in a different kind of body.
Many of you, I have never met, but your support of this ministry, as I
try to present God’s revealed Word as given to His Prophet means more to me
than I have words to express. But
know this My Friend, whatever good may be done for the Kingdom of God on
Earth; He will not ever forget your part in it.
The Bride revival is not a one man show, neither is it being a Public
Show, but our Father is watching it all. I
love you. This is a message for
the Bride. There are Sermons for
the Lost and for the Foolish Virgins and there are Sermons that only the Bride
can receive. No amount of culture
or religious training can give spiritual understanding to the heart and mind.
We must be Divinely taught before we can understand the Word of God.
The truth is that the most illiterate babe in Christ has a capacity to
understand Spiritual things that an unregenerate university graduate does not
have. The Plainest and Simplest
Word of God is far above the reach of the natural mind.

Several weeks ago, I heard a sermon preached by Evangelist Tom Morse,
who sets under Pastor David Morse of Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, who is Tom’s
blood Brother as well as his Spiritual Brother.
This is a church that over the years has turned out quite a number of
ministers preaching our Endtime Message! I
have heard some of the others preach and their calling can’t be denied.
Br. Tom Morse’s message so impressed me that I asked him if I could
use some of his material for this Monthly Sermon.
It has to do with the devil knowing exactly who the members of the
Bride of Christ are!! Our text
Scriptures are found in Acts 19:11-16.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or
aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of
them. 13 Then certain of the
vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil
spirits the name of the Lord Jesus,
saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of one
Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the
priests, which did so. 15 And the
evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame
them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
In these Scriptures we see that the devil knew who the men were who had
Power over him to Cast him out! He
knew the man, Jesus, and the man, Paul, but questioned the authority of the
seven Sons of Sceva to cast him out!
Perhaps we don’t question the fact that the devil knew Jesus
had authority over him, but what about Paul?
Our natural mind might conclude that the devil also knew Paul because
Paul had cast him out before, but I want to go deeper into our subject and
show the real reason that Satan knew Paul, and also why he knows every member
of the Bride of Christ!
The first War that was ever fought was in Heaven.
It was a Spiritual war between God and His Angelic Beings and Lucifer
and his angels.
Rev. 12: 7-9 tells the story of this war.
7 And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and
his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
heaven. 9 And the great dragon was
cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with
him. Luke 10: 17-18 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying,
Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as
lightning fall from heaven. (Lucifer
and his angels were cast out)
Jude 1:6 “And the
angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he
hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the
great day.”
The Scriptures tell us who fought in this first war.
It was Michael (Jesus) and His Angels on one side.
Who were these Angelic Beings? They
were the creation of God as seen in Gen. 1:26-27, made in the image and likeness of God, (In a
Theophany Body like God’s own body) who did not Fall and follow Lucifer!
And who was the other group that Michael and His Angels fought against?
They were the Angelic Beings who had also been created
perfect by God, but who chose to follow Lucifer.
All of God’s created human
beings were Created Perfect, including Lucifer himself!
Ezek.
28:15 “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the
day thou wast created, till iniquity was
found in thee.”
At the same time, we were created Free Moral Agents, and
would be required to choose our own destiny.
Two thirds of God’s creation chose to stay with their creator,
but one third chose to join Lucifer’s rebellion.
Rev. 12:4 And his tail
drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:
and the dragon stood
before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon
as it was born. And so we see
who the two armies were that met in Heaven in a great Spiritual war.
It was Michael and His angels that stayed in their own original habitation
and believed their Creator! This
was one group!
The other group was the Angelic Beings that chose to
follow Lucifer. They had been
created Perfect Beings also until they chose to disobey God!
Knowing what they were doing, they decided to follow Lucifer in his
rebellion. We can know that a
loving Father warned as He warned Adam and Eve in Eden!!
Here is a revelation, the Decision that God’s Created Beings made in
Heaven, before there was a world, was an Eternal Decision!
We were Eternal Beings and our final decision there was an eternal
decision. Let’s read that again
in Jude 1:6 “And the angels
which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath
reserved in Everlasting chains under darkness, unto the judgment of the great
day.” This Scripture says
that their decision in Heaven was Everlasting or Eternal!!!
Now let’s get back to the title of our Sermon
“Devil, Do
You Remember Me?”
Can
you believe that all the angels that God created were Perfect in their first
estate? It’s true.
Lucifer and his angels were once our Brothers!!!
But our Scripture says they left their first Estate or habitation.
Jude
verse 13 calls them “Wandering Stars” foaming out their own shame.
And remember, our Scripture that we quoted in Rev.
12:4 called these beings that fell and followed Lucifer a one third
part of the Stars of Heaven. “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and did cast
them to the earth…” Now
let’s look again at our scripture in Rev.
12:7-9 “There was war in heaven and Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon and his angels” And so
we ask the devil, “Devil, do you remember me??? The
answer is Yes, he certainly does remember us as a part of
God’s army that put him out of Heaven.
We don’t remember fighting in that Heavenly War, but the Bible says we
were there and fought Lucifer and his Fallen Angels.
The devil well remembers us as part of Michael’s Army that put him and
his angels out of Heaven.
And now we have found out who we are!
We are the stars (children of God) who stayed with our Creator.
God spoke to Job in Job
38 1-7 and told him who he was. In
verse 7 God is telling Job
that he was a son of God before the world was, and as a son of God, Job
needed to stop Questioning the ways of God and His Wisdom!!!
And Job repented, he repented for thinking God did not love him!!
Some of the rest of us need to repent for the same sin.
Now what is the Powerful
revelation this message gives us? The
devil recognizes those people who
have been given authority over him!!!
We fought with Michael in Heaven and defeated the devil there and
he knows us very well.
And now, here on earth, we have been quickened back to the Faith we
had and held onto in Heaven! Now the
devil has to
say (if
he would tell the truth) Jesus I know, Paul I know, and The Bride of Christ I
know! “Devil,
Do You Remember Me??” Oh Yes,
Oh Yes, I know you. You are a Child
of the King. His Royal Blood now
flows through your veins. Have you
come to torment us before the time? (Matt. 8:29)
We
(Bride) have been Awakened. All ten
virgins slept, but the five Wise have now had revelation!
We are now binding Devils on Earth and Our God is backing it up in
Heaven! We are now loosing people
who have been bound, and our Father is loosing them in Heaven!
Amen
