For the sake of saving time, I'm cutting and pasting and as long as I stay anonymous and don't advertise on here, hope to stay out of legal trouble. To any who wish, feel free to cut and paste, share or use any of my work for the furthering of His kingdom. I'm not doing this for money but because God called me by way of a couple servants with the gift of prophecy to "make a break through" find "treasure."
I've just gotten past a mistaken concept about heaven. In MATTHEW 18:18 and elsewhere in the gospels, Jesus tells us, "Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." We bind good things to ourselves, loose evil from ourselves.
From this verse, I was having the idea that it meant that what we do here, Jesus is doing thousands of miles away somewhere from heaven. This concept makes it difficult to believe, but there are 3 heavens, the earth around us is the first and I believe Jesus is telling us he's right here with us in another dimension doing our will as long as it's in his name, (John 14:12 "Truly I tell you those who believe in me will do the works I have been doing and they will do greater things than tehse for I go the the Father. And you may ask me for anything in my name and I wil do it for you so that the Father may be glorified through the son. Ask me for anything in my name and I will do it for you."
Adam gave satan the deed to the earth, first heaven. John 14:30 "...fot the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me." EPHESIANS 2: 1-2 "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions ad sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who were disobedient." and 1 JOHN 5:19 "We know that we are children of God and that the whole world is under control of the evil one."
Through Jesus, we have power over satan, his fallen angels and their demons who weren't supposed to be here in the first place, not part of God's plan but a major torment to us, his children. We must be careful how we do it, but we can pray out demons and evil in the name of Jesus which will lead me to my next posting, PRAYING OUT DEMONS.
In His service, a Misfit Child of God
The First Heaven: Earth Atmosphere
- Deut. 11:17--Then the LORD's anger will burn against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce . . .
- Deut. 28:12--The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.
- Judges 5:4--"O LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water.
- Acts 14:17--"Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; . . .
The Second Heaven: Outer Space
- Psalm 19:4, 6--In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun . . . It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; . . .
- Jeremiah 8:2--They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens which they have loved and served . . .
- Isaiah 13:10--The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light.
The Third Heaven: God's Dwelling Place
- 1 Kings 8:30 (phrase repeated numerous times in following verses)--then hear from heaven, your dwelling place . . .
- Psalm 2:4--The One enthroned in heaven laughs; The LORD scoffs at them.
- Matthew 5:16--In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
The highest heaven, the third heaven is indicated by the reference to the Throne of God being the highest heaven:
- 1 Kings 8:27--"But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you.
- Deut. 10:14--To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
