THE SPIRIT REALM. Pt.5
Rev 12:7 Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. NLT
OPERATING SYSTEM
In computer science, an operating system is a program that manages the functions of software and hardware. There's no computer that will function as desired without an operating system. The operating system in the realm of the spirit that makes everything work is submission to authority. In that realm, there's a high regard for superiors and hierarchy is recognized. When Lucifer wanted to breach this order by exalting his throne above God, he was deposed and thrown out of heaven: "For you said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’ Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths",
Isaiah 14:13-15 NLT.
In that realm, insubordination, pride and lack of submission is frowned against. It earned Lucifer a deposition. Another example is the story told in Jude talking about Satan disputing the body of Moses with Michael: "But even Michael, one of the mightiest of the angels, did not dare accuse the devil of blasphemy, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (This took place when Michael was arguing with the devil about Moses’ body.)" Jude 1:9 NLT. Did you notice the bible said Michael didn't accuse Satan of blasphemy? Yes he didn't. Why? Satan was an archangel in heaven likewise Michael. They were of the same order, rank and authority so it would be an act of disrespect for Michael to accuse Lucifer even though they weren't in the same kingdom any longer. However, to overcome Lucifer, Michael followed the operating principle in that realm by saying "The Lord rebuke you". Why? The LORD, was superior to them all and no one is strong enough to oppose Him. Lucifer had no option than to bow to the name of the Lord and allow Michael perform his duty. Hallelujah!!! That's another example in submission.
Demons know their superior and they submit. Don't forget that realm has rank and order. Everyone knows his limit. It is dangerous for a believer to be rebellious and insubordinate to authorities. It reduces spiritual authority and deposes one in the realm of the spirit. Demons know this and the moment they sight a rebellious believer, they deal accordingly. Coming to the new testament, Paul gave us an insight on how to deal with the various hierarchies in that realm to get what we desire: "Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED HIM, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things IN HEAVEN, and things IN EARTH, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father",(Philip2:9-11 KJV). That's deep. In that realm, they respect Jesus. On both side of the divide, He rank higher than all officers( demons& angels). That's why it is wrong to pray in the name of angels or any arch angels. Even Lucifer cannot stand His authority. You have that edge and advantage over demons because of the name of Jesus Christ.
CONFESSION: I run into the name of Jesus. I am on the winning side and I refuse to be defeated in Jesus name.
