God's Energizing versus the devil's energizing
The measure of God's power that can work in our life is accordin to the eneri!in force that flows from our spirit" This ener# can $e at different le%els flowin at different times" The more ener# God imparts& the more it can flow forth" There is a certain deree of ener# that remains in our life $ecause of our $ornaain e(perience which is the first step )the seed*" Then it $eins to flow forth in our li%es" +e need to $e sensiti%e to the ener# le%el that the Hol# Spirit is releasin $ecause the de%il also has an ener# force" He uses that and acti%ates it toether with the law of sin and death& which Romans , speaks a$out as $ein in our $od# and flesh" In Romans ,- . the word member refers to our ph#sical or mortal $od#" This is an ener# that is the law of sin and death" This is a t#pe of ener# that pulls people downwards into sin and death" In Rom ,- /0& this is ener# of sin" In Romans 1- 23 to make you free means to pull #ou out of the crutches of the ra%itational pull of sin and death" The solution is i%en to us in Romans 122" As we #ield to the spirit of God& our spirits& souls and $odies come under the ener# of God" +hen the spirit of God comes upon our li%es& it is eas# to resist the enem# $ecause we ha%e more ener# and strenth than the enem#" 2 4or 2/- 0&22" The ener# also flows in the ifts of the Spirit" There are nine ifts of the Spirit and each one of them is different" +hen we stud# them accordin to the definition& we di%ide them into 333" +hen we stud# them accordin to operations& we di%ide them into /./ )which means the word of wisdom& and word of knowlede are toether and the other fi%e followed $# the last two which are tonues and interpretation of tonues"* All these ifts are
different $ut the 5i$le sa#s that the# are all from one ener# source which is the Hol# Spirit who is the eneri!er" Each of the ifts of the Spirit is desined to flow from the same ener# source" There is an ener# le%el where %er# powerful miracles can take place" It is here that #ou ha%e to 6uickl# o$e# and flow with the Hol# Spirit in order to tap on it" It takes a lot of spiritual ener# to make the $lind see and do creati%e miracles" The ener# re6uired is so stron that it cannot remain lon& and when it comes& we must tap on it" It cannot remain lon $ecause our mortal $od# cannot stand it" 7ur ph#sical $od# needs to $e trained to withstand stroner amounts of ener#" Howe%er& some of us can carr# more spiritual ener# than others" It is measured $# the a$ilit# to fast" If #ou cannot contain the passions of #our $od# the $od#'s se(ual dri%e& desire for food and all these thins& #ou will carr# less ener#" The more #ou can control the desires and the lust of the flesh& the more #our $od# can take in spiritual ener#" Speakin alleoricall#& it is like #ou are wired from a onephase wirin to a 3phase wirin" As our faith increases increases&& as well as the understand understandin in of the eneri! eneri!in in of God& we can one da# li%e in the realm of the ener# le%el where nota$le miracles take place and can remain loner on us" +hen the anointin of God is flowin& #ou cannot afford to dou$t or 6uestion God" All we must do is to $e recepti%e to the Hol# Spirit" +e can test the enuineness of the anointin within and $# the +ord of God" 8ou$t will ro$ #ou of #our miracle" 9ou will $e like Peter walkin on the water and one dou$t will cause #ou to sink" 7ne dou$t is all it takes to pre%ent a nota$le miracle from happenin" The ifts of the Hol# Spirit are i%en for specific purposes" 5ut $ecause the# are from the same ener# source& from time to time& an# of the nine ifts ma# operate accordin to the needs present around #ou" Howe%er& there will $e particular ifts that make #ou function in a ministr# that God has desined for #our life" E(odus /,- 20 speak of the ates of the Ta$ernacle T a$ernacle that ha%e four colours representin the four ospels" 5lue s#m$oli!es :esus 4hrist the Son of God& di%init# and hea%enl# nature" Purple s#m$oli!es His ro#alt#& His kinship& :esus 4hrist the ;in of ;ins and the Lord of Lords" Scarlet s#m$oli!es :esus the Son of Man and white linen :esus the Son of Man" 5efore #ou do an#thin to the $ra!en altar& #ou must enter the ate" -32* These three laws are proressions to enter into the depths of God" Each of these laws has a specific manifestation that produces somethin special" All three steps ha%e faith $ut the# are different" In Rom =- 2>& /?& A$raham was walkin $# the law of faith" He e(emplified the law of faith workin" Each of these laws has one ke# Greek word"
)2* In the law of faith it is endunamoo, meanin a strenthenin" This is the $einnin of the eneri!in of God in our li%es" Rom 2/-/ The law of faith has to do with hope actualised (2) In the law of the Spirit of life in 4hrist :esus it is eleutheroo, meanin 'made me free' which is translated as deli%erance deli%erance in Rom 1-/2" " The law of the Spirit of life in 4hrist :esus has to do with faith that is naturalised (3) In the law of rihteousness it is transformed& chaned& or transfiured"
metamorphoomai & meanin
" The law of rihteousness has to do with lo%e which is the essence of God" 'Hope& faith and lo%e' is what 2 4or 23 talks a$out" +hen #ou $rin all the fullness of hope into actualisin& actualisin& it is the law of faith f aith workin and it $rins #ou into the first realm the outer court" As #ou $ein to o faithfull# into that realm& faith $ecomes second nature to #ou" Then #ou enter into the second realm faith naturalised" It $ecomes so natural in #ou that #ou li%e a$o%e the law $ecause #ou fulfil the law and #ou enter into the di%ine presence of His lo%e" There is also a different wa# in which #ou could arrane it" )2* Empowerment from on hih" 4onception endunamoo faith concei%es and recei%es from God" )/* Resurrection power" )3* Ascension" +e are seated with 4hrist in hea%enl# places" places" All these three realms flow toether from one ener# le%el to another into the hihest realm" All these tie up with Eph / when we are set free into the hihest realm in God" There is a di%ine harmon# and flow in these three realms of the supernatura supernatural" l"
God's Energising for God's Work
Lets look at some scriptures that ha%e the Greek word energes which means eneri!in power of God" Eph 2- /?- 'which He work )eneres* in 4hrist when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His riht hand in the hea%enl# places"' Eph 2- 22 '"" according to the purpose of Him who works (energes) all things according to the counsel of His will.
9ou will onl# recei%e spiritual ener# to do what God wants to do in #our life" +hen #ou are not doin what God wants #ou to do the #oke seems to $e hea%# and the $urden o%erpowerin" 1 Cor 12: And there are diversities of activities activities,, but it is the same God who works (energes) all in all. all. !erse 11 sa"s# 'But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each individuall as !e wills.' Gal 2:$% "or !e worked effectivel (energes) in #eter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked (energes) effectivel to me toward the gentiles%% &aul here is talking aout (inistr" gra)e% Gal *: $ %herefore !e gentiles who supplies the Spirit to ou and works (energes) miracles among ou, Here does he do it b the works (energes) of the law, or b hearing of faith& Here he is talkin a$out workin of miracles which comes $# the hearin of faith"
+hen ministers stand up to minister& it is $ecause the# ha%e recei%ed rhema from God" The rhema that #ou recei%e is directl# proportional to the renewal of #our mind" If #our mind is full of dou$t and fear& it will cloud #our a$ilit# to hear from God" The most important thin for ministers is to sharpen their hearin from God until it is so clear that the# cannot $e mistaken"
Gal +: "or in hrist esus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anthing, but faith working (energes) through love.. The law of faith& the law of the Spirit of life and love the law of rihteousness is hope& faith and lo%e" All of these operate toether and to different e(tents" There is a point in time when it is not faith eneri!ed $# lo%e $ut lo%e totall#" How do we e(press it@ The door to the outer court& the %eil into the Hol# Place and the %eil into the Most Hol# Place of the Ta$ernacle ha%e the same colours" The# represent :esus in His fourfold re%elation re%elati on to us" As #ou enter the court it is hope actualised in faith and #ou $ein to walk in that realm" •

As #ou enter the first %eil" It is faith 'naturalised 'naturalised'"'" -/"
+h# did Moses put the altar of incense in the second part of the ta$ernacle@ It is $ecause of the need to attend to the altar of incense e%er#da#" The# were not permitted to enter the Holiest Place e(cept once in a #ear" - /= %'or a tabernacle was purposed the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary, and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of ll, which had the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold..% 5ecause of the limitations of the priestl# s#stem& God chaned the order of the furniture in the ta$ernacle to /32" As mentioned earlier •

So there is the /// principle with the 3 laws that o alon" The Se)ond Law : The Law of the Spirit of life in Christ /esus
In Romans 1- / 'or the law of the *pirit of life in "hrist #esus has made me free (eleutheroo) from the law of sin and death. &leutheroo means to $e deli%ered& to $e made free where #ou li%e under an open hea%en" It is possi$le to li%e under an open hea%en such that e%en if wicked spirits and rulers in hih places are rulin o%er that place #ou still enCo# an open hea%en a$o%e #ou" This is a place called li$ert#"

;nowin that li$ert# ) eleutheria * $rins us into the hihest realm& I asked the Lord this 6uestion" Eph 2- /?/2 which He worked (energi0ed) in "hrist when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in which is to I asked the Lord& D+ho are these principalities and powers and miht miht and come.% I dominion@D
Here is the conte(tual interpretation in Ephesians 0- 2/ 'or we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 8id #ou notice there are two hea%enl# places mentioned in the $ook of Ephesians@ I then realised where God wanted the 4hurch to $e" He wants us to $e in the hea%enl# places where we sit with 4hrist :esus& as in Ephesians /-0" The other hea%enl# place is where the hihest t#pe of demons dwells" 7ur warfare is not on this earth" 7ur spirit man has certain 6ualities" It is not limited $# eoraphical space& natural understandin )#our spirit man knows more thins than #our mind does* or time" In God& #ou can sometimes peep into the past )$# God's permission* or o into the future" Man# people think that when our spirit lea%es the $od#& the $od# $ecomes unconscious" That is onl# if #our spirit lea%es #our $od# under one of the states of seein %isions called a trance %ision" There are two other t#pes of %ision- 2" The closed %ision" In this %ision #our ph#sical man ma# fall asleep or fall down in some form and #our spirit lea%es #our $od#" /" In an open %ision& #ou e(perience what Paul had in / 4or 2/- /=" Here he was not aware whether he was in the $od# or not" If it were a close %ision& he would ha%e known that it was Cust the spirit" 5ut if it is an open %ision& the spirit and the natural mere toether as one& like the state of man $efore the fall" There is another t"pe of vision )alled the spiritual vision where "our spirit leaves# ut "our od" is still here% -t was (entioned in 5)ts 6: ++7+# when Stephen saw the Lord and had )o((union with the Lord while he was still )ons)ious% - a( talking aout a real( in the spirit where we literall" live in the heavenl" pla)es# and we re(ain there% 8n)e "ou have een there# "ou realise the a)tivities and things of this life pull "ou down% 5ut #ou can et $ack into the spirit and $e Cust there in God" +hat I lo%e most is to $e in God& ministerin to Him and standin in His presence& watchin all those thins happenin in the hea%enl# places" It is possi$le to e(perience that in God" :ust like Enoch who walked with God and was not& one of m# desires is not to onl# walk with God so closel# $ut to stand in His presence until I am Cust taken into Him" There ha%e $een times when I was in the presence of God& that the people in hea%en knew I was there $ut I needed to $#pass them $ecause I had $usiness with God" There ha%e $een times when m# $od# was Cust on earth $ut m# spirit was in God in the hea%enlies" 5# the time #ou reach this le%el& Satan
