The information contained here is not theoretical but the very practical nuts and bolts of walking in victory over all sin and darkness. It is so much easier than we have been taught.
We do not strive to be holy. We do not follow a bunch of rules, and we are definitely NOT pretending that sin and evil don’t exist! We make covenants with Heaven ONLY so that we experience ONLY Heaven. The way we do this is being very careful to only agree with things that are true –>through the cross<–
Everytime we are presented with an idea, statement, fact or truth we run it through this filter —> IS THIS TRUE IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW?! <— If it is not true in heaven, it is not true now. If you cannot imagine it in heaven then it cannot be true when viewed through the lense of the finished works of the Cross because the Cross has manifested the reality of heaven now.
Understanding the Distinction: Facts vs Truth
There is a BIG difference between knowing something has happened and >AGREEING< with it! I know things have happened that are contrary to the will of God, but there is a BIG difference between knowing facts and making a covenant with them. If you AGREE with something that is contrary to heaven and thus the will of God, you can actually open the door to it and invite it to manifest.
One of the best places to start is with your own experiences. You’re experiences are not necessarily true. If you have experienced less than victorious results in life that is NOT THE TRUTH but merely FACTS and a consequence of a life and circumstances TAINTED BY SIN. Everything that happens under the circumstances of bondage to sin is a FACT but it is not the TRUTH of what Jesus purchased and is available NOW for all who will Repent and OBEY.
This is one of the reasons why it is so important to renounce ALL your past experiences (the good and the bad). The religious spirit tries to use past experiences, especially the good ones, to twist the truth. That is why you have to renounce them and you have to remember that anything less than victory all the time is not the truth.
These subtle seemingly inconsequential agreements are not merely semantics, but the very weighty substance of COVENANT. Whatever your mind says “yes” to your heart makes a covenant with, and whatever you make a covenant with will manifest in your life. When I tell people about agreeing ONLY with what is true through the Cross, it is extremely helpful to give specific examples of it.
Most of these are covenants that I have accidentally made and suffered immediate consequences from. This is definitely not all of them and unfortunately I have made some of the same bad agreements multiple times!
Demon Access
About a year after I was set free from sin I visited a friends profile on Facebook and read many different accounts of him casting demons out of Christians. He was saying he routinely casts demons out of some really devoted Christians and I was captivated by many of these stories. My agreement at that time was that demons do not have access to me, but when I was reading those posts I changed what I believed [agreed with] without really realizing it.
After I read his stories, which I knew were real experiences, I began thinking: “well maybe demons DO have access to me”
Guess what happened? Within about 10 minutes my kids did one little thing and I blew up like Hiroshima. It was sudden and intense irritation and anger. It happened so fast I could not stop it. It was VERY strange for me so I stopped everything and asked Jesus what was going on!
That is when I realized what happened: I agreed with a LIE. I accidently changed my agreement after I read those stories. Can a born again Christian manifest demons? I have definitely seen that happen! Do I —-> AGREE <— that demons have access to me?!
NO! I DO NOT AGREE because that is not THE TRUTH of what Jesus purchased for us with his own Blood! I AGREE ONLY WITH TRUTH OF THE FINISHED WORKS OF THE CROSS! DEMONS HAVE NO ACCESS TO ME!
As soon as I repented, (changed my agreement) I was right back into peace and joy.
Dream Attack
A few weeks later a good Christian friend of mine came over and was talking to me about how he had been attacked in his dreams lately. He said: “you know how the devil will come and attack you when you are asleep and vulnerable” and I just quickly agreed in passing: “uh yeah”
Again, I didn’t consciously change my beliefs, I just carelessly agreed with something that is NOT true through the Cross. That has happened to me, but not really at all since I had been set free from sin. Well after I agreed with this guy, I had HORRIFIC dreams. Like over the top horrible. When I woke up I knew I had agreed with another LIE: “the devil attacks me when I am asleep and vulnerable” So I immediately took away that agreement. I said out loud “I DO NOT AGREE that the devil attacks me when I am asleep or ANY OTHER TIME! And that was the end of the bad dreams.
Religion Retreats
This same “good Christian friend” who had been attacked with bad dreams came back over to my house later that week. (Just so you know, this person was not your average Christian to say the least. He had been born again longer than I had been alive. He lived on miracles his entire life. He has even seen someone raised from the dead after he prayed for them, so I generally liked talking to him.
We were hanging out again when he told me a story from his younger days. One time a really cute girl invited him over to her house but when he arrived, he was met by several other guys. The Lord said to him: “get out now; you are a not going to walk away from this one”.
So he asked where the restroom was, walked out the back door and ran away. And his conclusion was this: “It is best to obey the Lord.” I agreed with that, but within five minutes I went from being really super HIGH on the peace and joy of heaven to REALLY ANXIOUS. Like really super anxious and fearful and I could not shake it for HOURS.
I KNEW I made a covenant with Hell somehow during our conversation. I thought about it and realized I agreed with another lie. After that story I let this thought creep into my mind: “Well I guess sometimes you just have to tuck tail and run, if the Lord tells you to.”
But hold on! My “friend” probably did not ask Jesus if he should go over to the girl’s house to begin with, maybe did not have the best intentions in doing so and by his own admission was not walking in freedom from sin at the time. So he got himself into a mess and God told him what to do UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES!
But the Truth is HEAVEN DOES NOT RETREAT!
The TRUTH is you cannot expect total victory all the time when you are bound by sin because victory all the time is the consequence of receiving the Lordship of Jesus over every area of your life. So yes, it is best to “Obey the Lord” but obey him with your whole life and you will not get into bad situations.
CS Lewis
As my wife has agreed with the Truth and learned how to stay in the presence of God, she experiences a lot of heavenly fruit. One time she called me in distress. Apparently, a darkness and depression came over her suddenly and she was struggling with unforgiveness toward people that she knows she already forgave. We asked if she simply needed to forgive them again and it was a “no”. So we asked if she had a bad agreement she needed to repent from and she heard a “yes”. So we asked further where the bad agreement came from and we narrowed it down to the Audible App. When we looked at her listening history the only thing in there from the previous days was a talk from C.S. Lewis.
We asked if that was where the agreement came from and (after threshing through a lot of resistance) we heard a solid “yes”. She had to renounce everything she heard that day and C.S. Lewis in general. As soon as she did this, like within 10 minutes, the depression and unforgiveness were completely gone and she was back in the atmosphere of heavenly joy and peace. This same type of thing has happened with almost every Christian she has listened to since being set free from sin. ALL of her favorite preachers and teachers have had to be renounced and she has had to stop herself from listening to all of them. The interesting thing about this instance with C.S. Lewis, was that the talk was not even about Christianity, it was about creative writing. But as she engaged him she partook of his atmosphere of defeat and compromise and instantly (within 12 hours) felt the effects of it.
This is not at all strange. This was my exact experience dozens and dozens of times since I was set free. I have been bumped out of the atmosphere of heaven by Christian teaching again and again for years! And many times I still do not notice the lie right away. The only thing I notice is that the atmosphere of heavenly peace and joy is suddenly (or slowly) replaced by anxiety, fear, sadness, or confusion. If ever that happens, I stop what I am doing and ask Jesus to show me what is going on. It is almost always some Christian that I must renounce.
New Levels, New Angels
One day I was talking to a friend of mine and he was saying he was experiencing a lot of resistance lately everywhere he goes. I thought about my experience [the facts] and I have definitely experienced a lot of resistance from the devil and I told him: “yeah that is normal, you ever heard that saying: “new levels new devils”.
As soon as it came out of my mouth I knew it was wrong. I said: “DO NOT AGREE with that resistance bit; instead agree that it is a TOTAL HOLOCAUST on the devil wherever you go” And that part about “new levels, new devils” NOPE! Instead agree when there are New Levels there are New Angels!
There are many people out there teaching that resistance from the devil is a good thing! I used to be one of those people! IT IS NOT TRUE!!
“And I got it, thank God! In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade.” [2Cor2:14]
Old Testament Stories
Here is an example of facts FROM THE BIBLE used to deliver deadly lies to someone’s soul that will keep them bound to sin:
“King David committed adultery and murdered and he still went to heaven. Therefore I could sleep around and murder and still be “ok”. If you agree with this type of lie you are making a covenant with hell and hell will use it to gain entry to your life.
You may not commit adultery or murder because of agreeing with this but you will find that agreeing with a compromising interpretation of Scripture like this will STOP you from walking in perfect freedom from sin.
Sanctification is not a Process
One day I was very high on Jesus. It felt like heavenly light was coming out of my face, from behind my ears, out of my chest and inside I felt like a pure ball of light.
Ephesians 5:8 took on some new meaning: “For once you were darkness, but now YOU ARE LIGHT in the Lord. Live as children of light”
I was experiencing this for most of the day and toward the early evening a new Christian friend of mine sent me an email with some passages he had compiled about sanctification.
It was all about the PROCESS of sanctification. There were multiple verses from Philippians and Ephesians talking about the process of sanctification and based on the tenses they all showed that salvation is in progress being outworked, not yet complete.
“Complete in eternity, but not yet complete in experience”. I read all the verses and of course I agreed with them since they were in the Bible. As soon as I did, WHILE I WAS STILL READING IT, I came down out of that bright brilliant light. By the time I finished reading his paper the Glory was almost totally gone.
I was feeling pretty complete and perfect all day when I was agreeing that it was FINISHED, but when I saw those Bible verses and I agreed that sanctification is a “process not yet complete in experience — NOT Finished” I sobered up! I shut myself off from the sensible awareness of that heavenly atmosphere.
What in the world? That is in the Bible RIGHT?! yes, but it is not the Truth of the Finished Works. I had given my agreement to facts.
They were infallible facts contained in the Holy Bible but they were still just facts and not the Truth of what Jesus purchased with HIS OWN BLOOD.
It can be hard at first to discern facts from Truth especially when they are all jumbled together IN THE BIBLE. The facts it contains are infallible, they really happened, but they are not the Truth and I do not give my AGREEMENT to something just because it is in the Bible.
The Truth of the Finished Works
The “process” of you experiencing the magnitude of the victory is only dependent on how long it takes you to Agree ONLY with God and OBEY. Everything but that is complete. Jesus Christ has “become our sanctification” Sanctification is not a process, it is a person. Jesus is not a process. He is the infinitely perfect one.
We have been “resurrected with Him and seated in heavenly places IN Christ.” God has “delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (This is all past tense stuff) Our sinful nature has been REMOVED and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE HOLY. We now have a brand new PERFECT NATURE that we can choose to live from by agreeing ONLY with the TRUTH of what Jesus accomplished for us on the Cross.
When I look back at my own experience, and the experience of ALL Christians, it is easy to see that manifesting the reality that we have IN Christ can look like a process. That is a fact, but I never give my agreement to facts. I only give my agreements to what is true through the Cross.
The Apostles’ Experience
I have noticed, along these same lines, that people are tempted to agree that the experience of the Apostles is the Truth. “O well Peter sinned and was openly rebuked by Paul so you think you are not going to sin” <—This is a religious objection to Truth. The Apostles are not the Truth, they were followers of the Truth. Jesus is the Truth and He NEVER sinned. He was incapable of sin.
My Personal Journey to Freedom
The “process” that I went through to enter into this experience of being free from sin and enjoying the reality of heaven on earth was simple. First, I agreed with what the Bible says about the sinful nature, that it has been crucified, circumcised, utterly destroyed, REMOVED, so that it doesn’t exist anymore AND I agreed that I am a brand new creation, having been made PERFECTLY HOLY and PERFECTLY RIGHTEOUS by the sacrifice of Christ.
THEN [and this was the hardest part] I threw out ALL of my experiences with the Lord based on 1 John 3:
“Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him OR KNOWN Him. So, my dear children, don’t let anyone divert you from the truth. It’s the person who [acts] right who [is] right, just as we see it lived out in our righteous Messiah. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.”
I did not like those verses very much, but I have too much fear of God to disregard His Word. This passage does not say anything about EXPERIENCE. The Bible says there will be “MANY” who have lots of experience and yet Jesus will say: “depart from me I never KNEW you”. How do you know if you KNOW Him? You WILL NOT SIN. So I had to admit that I did not yet KNOW Him and by doing that I effectively threw out ALL of my supernatural experiences as worthless.
Then I just had to decide to stop sinning, one sin at a time. I started with the sin you are planning on doing and just decided NOT to do it. I determined to hear from God what I was are supposed to do in moment by moment awareness of Him, and I set my heart to obey.
If you smash enough idols you will find that you are in the constant abiding presence of God, and once you are there, choose to stay there by rejecting every ‘little’ lie and taking every little step he shows you.
The Problem with the Old Testament
Most of the Old Testament has to be completely rejected or spiritualized. You cannot “pray the Psalms” against your enemies! That is asking God to kill them! You can learn a great deal from the Old Testament, but it is not for finding out what God is like! God does not kill people! I know it says that in the Old Testament. It says it all the time. It says that God gave people sicknesses. It says that Jehovah struck them with plagues. You have to get rid of Gods character as portrayed by Jehovah at every place that it contradicts the example of Jesus. Jesus killed no-one. He HEALED everyone. That is why He came: to set the record straight, because mankind could only relate to God through their fallen position. Jesus told them plainly that He was the God they worshipped but they did not know him. God was soooo different to what they had been taught by their religion that they tried to put Jesus to death!
You cannot agree with everything Old Testament saints did and said! For example, How many Christians like to quote David when he asked God to “create in him a clean heart”? “Oh yes God, create in me a clean heart just like David prayed, He was a man after your heart and he asked you to create in him a clean heart, so I want to pray the same thing.” WRONG! You do not want to pray these prayers that David prayed! David was before the Cross! If you ask God to “create in you a clean heart” you are renouncing the CROSS! Why? Because that is exactly what Jesus did for us! He gave us a brand new heart! He gave us brand new EVERYTHING. If you start asking him for it, you are also agreeing you don’t yet have it when He says He already gave it to you! So you are renouncing the Cross and calling God a liar by praying for those things.
The Truth of Healing
It is the same with HEALING. You never pray that God will heal you. Why? Because Jesus already gave us health by his sacrifice. The Bible says “by his stripes we were healed. Instead of praying for it, you thank God for what he has done, you anchor your heart in the agreement that you are already healed and refuse to move off of it. Any experience to the contrary can and must be rejected as a FACT. The TRUTH is you are healed right now and when you anchor your agreement in that truth ONLY, you open the door to it manifesting!
Genesis 12:3 Incident
One time I was at work enjoying the atmosphere of heaven when a man walked into the store I was managing. He had several bouquets of handmade wooden flowers in his hands. He had obviously had a stroke and he explained that this was how he supported himself after the stroke.
I thought my wife would definitely enjoy some flowers, so I bought some. As soon as I handed him the money he said “Since you have blessed me, I want to bless you according to Genesis 12:3: ‘God will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you’”
I was very surprised that he said that but I instantly agreed with him. I even felt goosebumps when he said it. I thought “wow what a pleasant surprise” It was not even 30 min later that ALL HELL WAS BROKE LOOSE at the store. Customers started manifesting demons, employees started manifesting demons, I had no authority. I felt like crying. I texted my wife and said: “Please agree for heaven on this place something has happened!” Her prayers helped, but I was still fighting back the tears and was just barely holding on. It was bad for the rest of the day. I thought about it the whole time and when I got home, I messaged a friend and asked him if I should have agreed with the blessing from that man selling the flowers.
He said: “Nope! Agreeing that God will curse those who curse you is the opposite of what Jesus said” AHH, OF COURSE!! We have to agree that God will BLESS those who curse us! “Yup, that gives the devil major anxiety, nothing he can do with that agreement”
When I agreed that God would curse those who curse me, not only did I open up a door to hell by agreeing with something that was not true, but the devil was quick to send ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE TO COME CURSE ME so that they would be cursed as a result.
Recovery from Wrong Agreements
After a few experiences like that you might be tempted to agree that if you miss a step all hell will break loose. I would NOT AGREE WITH THAT IF I WERE YOU!
THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH. NEVER AGREE WITH ANY DEMONIC CONSEQUENCES FOR ANYTHING.
If you miss a step, you may feel like a door is cracked open in the spirit and demons start pouring in. DON’T JUST SIT THERE AND TAKE IT!
REPENT, AGREE with the TRUTH and SLAM that door shut as soon as you notice. You can recover from a missed step by doing the original thing God told you to do, or if there is no possible way to do that, do the next thing God tells you to do. But if you agree with a lie there is no way to get around it, you must find the lie and repent – change your agreement.
Sickness and Sin
Over a period of time I started to notice a close connection between missing a step and sickness. I found that if I obeyed Jesus and stayed in his presence sickness really could not get ahold of me. I may notice a small headache or a little sore throat, but it would never progress into anything more UNLESS I missed some major step, then I would actually start to get sick.
I noticed this again and again, until one day I agreed and declared that sickness is a result of sin. I agreed that if I sin sickness has an entrance into my atmosphere and body that would not otherwise be there. It was a really big mistake!
The very next day a guy came into my store and started coughing uncontrollably. I had a very strong urge to rush over and pray for him but I hesitated. In that 2-3 seconds of hesitation, I felt a punch on my lungs. It literally felt as if someone punched me in the chest and I INSTANTLY started coughing a little. Like that very instant. I thought it was strange, but I did not change my agreement. Well that little cough slowly turned into a huge unstoppable cough and I became really sick for over a month!!
I was more sick and for longer than I had ever been in my life! It was all because I agreed with a lie that sickness is a result of sin. So I had this HUGE open door so when I missed that step and failed to pray for that fellow the sickness came RUSHING IN.
Jesus Christ shed his blood to make us perfectly whole, spirit, soul and BODY. The Blood of Jesus is MORE than enough to keep us in perfect health ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT! I NEVER agree that sickness can have access to me, EVER, FOR ANY REASON!
Friendship and Relationships
One time I had a very interesting experience regarding FRIENDSHIP; one which I will not soon forget. Remember I stay in the presence of God all the time. It feels like a warm blanket of LOVE and fullness, or bright electric joy where there is perfect peace and perfect rest. If anything ever gets in the way of my sensible aware of His presence I stop everything and find out what it is.
Many times it has been a wrong agreement. I have found there are both active and passive agreements. An active agreement is like anything I have mentioned above, but a passive agreement can occur when you stay friends with people who are agreeing with lies, or you agree that someone is a friend when they have not received the Lordship of Jesus over their life.
One time I had been hanging out with a certain family who I could tell was a divine connection. I could see we had a future with them and generally enjoyed their company. One day I declared: “These people are our friends” and immediately I felt something demonic hit me.
I thought it was strange, but I did not make a connection. Well, the presence of God waned over the whole day until the next day I really could not feel it at all. I could feel it around me, but it was like there was something standing in-between me and Him, casting a shadow on me and stopping me from feeling his presence.
I knew it was an agreement, but I could not figure out what it was until I stopped everything and asked the Lord. I retraced my steps and prayerfully thought about everything that happened in the previous day. When I changed my agreement from “friend” to “acquaintance” everything went back to normal. That wedge in-between myself and his presence instantly dissolved, and I felt fully saturated again.
You have to make a distinction between those who are in agreement with you and those who are not. Real friendship is only found in Kingdom unity which real when each individual person has received the LORDSHIP of Jesus Christ over their entire life.
This applies to Facebook friendships as well. Many times being in passive agreement with someone on Facebook has opened the door to demonic static and it stays open until I unfriend or block them.
Sometimes I go through my entire friends list person by person and ask Jesus about every single person, and I will hear “keep” or “let go”.. “yes” or “no”. If I accidentally unfriend the wrong person, I’ll feel it. (it has only happened 2-3 times)
Cutting people off is possibly the single biggest key to continuous breakthrough and victory after being set free from sin. One of the biggest sustained breakthroughs I’ve had was by removing hundreds of people from my Facebook account. To this day it remains a critical aspect of victory and freedom. Many people cannot get free without cutting people off, and to this day if Jesus tell me to cut someone off and I fail to there is hell to pay.
Even earlier this afternoon, I started to suddenly get irritable and at the same time I almost had a horrible accident. I knew there was some specific reason for it. After praying with my wife, we found out that it was because of a “friend” of hers. In this case, we heard many months ago that we should cut this person off and deliver a word to her that she should repent of a certain relationship, but we failed to do that. My wife cut her off in her heart but did not deliver the hard word. Then she allowed this person to come over to our house and hang out for a while. It was huge mistake. When she invited her over, she also invited her demons, and I felt them immediately.
Marriage and Submission
My wife and I have gotten into bad places with certain universally accepted agreements about marriage. The Bible says that the husband should love the wife as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her, and the wife should submit to the husband “as unto the Lord”. The scriptures are very clear on this. But we have found that if you make AGREEMENT out of it, you are opening your relationship up to lots of demonic static! In Genesis 3:16 directly after the fall, when God is pronouncing judgment on the devil he said this to the woman: “And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you” This was a direct result of the fall.
When you agree that the wife must submit to the husband you are imposing the fall onto your relationship and there will be a source of conflict that is very hard to pinpoint. For myself it appeared as an inability to NOT get irritated with my wife. Usually she would get irritated about something (ie: a demon was messing with her because of some open door she had) and I seemed to instantly be dragged down into that same irritation, even though I knew what was going on.
This happened continuously UNTIL I canceled my agreement that she “must submit to me” As soon as I cancelled that agreement, I was able to consistently rise above any irritations and I could help lift her out of it instead of getting dragged down. This, by the way, goes both ways. The wife should not agree that the husband “must love her”. That is the same as demanding submission. The problem is about making laws and rules about things. The law empowers sin. That is what 1 Corinthians says. So every place you make a law or a rule about something, you are cutting yourself off from true grace. This is especially true of submission.
Law vs Freedom
Putting yourself under a Law will wreck your buzz as fast or faster than a bad agreement. As you are following Jesus you will notice things in your life have to go. There was a time after being set free from habitual sin that I would indulge in wine on certain occasions. I slowly noticed there was bad fruit that came along with drinking alcohol that I did not like. It seemed to get in the way of the atmosphere of heaven for me. I was at a family party one time and feeling that bright electric glory when I decided to have a beer. I started to drink the beer and I noticed the bright glory instantly dissipated. It was still there, but not a strong. I hate coming out of the glory, so I said: “I must never drink alcohol again”. As soon as I agreed with that I FULLY came out of the glory. Like there was none left. What happened?
I put myself under a law. So I thought to myself “never-mind, I can do whatever I want, I am not under any laws!! If I want to have a beer I will have one.” As soon as I made that agreement the glory came back! (Though not as strong as it was before I had any alcohol)
The law is a very tricky thing, and this is another reason why you must be careful about the old testament. Before you can be set free from sin you have to completely get rid of the Law. You are dead to it. How that worked for me in a practical way was this: I threw out ALL rules of every kind and determined to live my life based ONLY on what Jesus was saying to me in the moment.
I’m not sure this is advice, but that is what I did. I threw out ALL laws of every kind. I only followed the voice of the Lord and determined to stay in his presence. If I wanted something and I did not hear a clear “no” then to me it was as good as a “yes” “All things are permissible, but not everything is beneficial” Some things I still hear a “yes” on but I know from lots of experience they are not beneficial. And I did get myself into some trouble living like this, but not nearly as much trouble as people have for living under the Law as it is the power of sin.
Caffeine
Speaking of irritations! CAFFEINE is another major source of irritations which can be hard to pinpoint. It was a major open door that only became super obvious for me after many years. I have noticed that caffeine can move me off the path by just a few degrees and its influence is almost imperceptible until I miss something BIG. I usually feel like I am getting so much done, but most of the time I am doing the WRONG things. My wife loved her coffee and would have never believed it was an issue unless she experienced the power of abstaining for herself. Turning from caffeine was a game changer for both of us. As you determine live your life in the presence of God; His presence will show you exactly which things you want to put into your body.
Eschatology and End Times
Sometimes the truths which have the biggest impact on you experiencing heaven are the most offensive to your mind. What God told me about “end times” was definitely one of those very offensive things for me.
Someone once gave me a book by Jonathan Welton called “Raptureless”.
I read it quickly and promptly threw it in the garbage. “What a Joke” I thought. “Cowardly people are always trying to get out of going through end-times”
While I was still in my office next to the garbage, the Holy Spirit arrested me and said “you either eat this doctrine or forget about being high on God”
I was shocked. It was one of the clearest things he ever said to me. I picked the book up out of the garbage and opened it. I read it slowly. Some of what he said made sense, but honestly most of it still sounded ridiculous. He says the end of the world happened in 70AD! Jesus already returned and the 1000 year reign already happened! WHAT!?
I didn’t even try to understand it. I knew I was just going to have to force re-align my agreement a flee the old interpretation. So I threw out everything I thought I knew about end-times and where we were on the timeline and tossed that in the garbage.
I instantly heard and felt something pop over my head. It sounded like the lid from a pickle jar. POP! It felt like something was removed from over my head. WOW there is no ceiling above me! I realized these agreements about end-times were stopping me from manifesting heaven in a major way.
I went to church the very next day (which was unusual for me at this time but Jesus said to go) As I was sitting out front watching the people walk in I had the most amazing experience. In the blink of an eye, heaven was on the earth. It’s like I was watching everything in slow motion. There was not a hint of evil, destruction or darkness anywhere. Satan absolutely did not exist here and never had. I was on the new earth. That’s when the power of this agreement really hit me:
We aren’t waiting on anything for heaven to “come”! We aren’t waiting for the seals to be broken. We aren’t waiting for a bunch of hellish stuff to happen. We aren’t waiting on the earth to be destroyed! The new age is here! Heaven is here right now!
That book was right! When Jesus said all would be fulfilled in “this generation” he meant it. When Paul was telling people the end was very soon, he meant exactly what he said: “SOON” like any day! And it happened just as they said thousands of years ago!
Welton shows how every single major prophecy was fulfilled. The abomination that causes desolation, the Jews fleeing into the wilderness all happened. Flavius Josephus, a first century historian also documented strange signs and wonders which took place prior to the destruction of the temple in 70AD including a cow giving birth to a lamb in the midst of the temple.
Even after all these amazing confirmations I struggled to hold fast this agreement. One day I started to re-read revelation and I got to the part about the two witnesses. “Wait when did this happen? This hasn’t happened yet!! Has it?” I started to entertain that paradigm again that the end-times was still future and you know what happened?
I felt that old bondage and blockage start to re-appear. That lid, that ceiling. It was horrible. So I decided it’s best if I don’t read revelation for a while. I read it so much with the wrong interpretation that I had to take a serious break from that book!
When I diligently sought Jesus about where we actually are in the timeline, he said we are not in the “little space in Rev 20, we are actually at the end of the thousand year reign right now. He gave me this verse for confirmation.
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But there is an order to this resurrection: Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back. After that the end will come when he will turn the Kingdom over to God the Father, having destroyed every ruler and authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death. 1 Cor 15:22
I always thought the thousand years reign would be a perfectly glorious reign, but it says “he must reign until his enemies are defeated”
In any case the end times is completely past! We are in the LAST DAYS or transition times when everyone realizes what Jesus has already done.
The devil has tricked the church and turned them into the largest coven of WITCHES who continuously curse the earth and declare destruction on it “so that Jesus can come back”. Those events already took place! NOTHING bad has to happen. We do not have to wait for anything to manifest the REALITY that we have been transfigured!
Another very critical thing I noticed about bad eschatology: it cuts your authority off at the knees. How are you going to stop a disaster you believe the Bible says MUST happen? You won’t. There will always be that sliver of doubt stopping you from using the power God gave you. “Maybe this is a disaster that must come to pass” It’s NOT, STAND AGAINST ANY AND ALL FORMS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
Israel and Biblical Prophecy
THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT
So what is so special about Israel? Well, for starters, never in the History of the world has a nation re-appeared in the exact same place it existed over two millennia before.
What’s even more amazing about this is that Christians have been saying it would happen for centuries because the Bible declares it. Not only that but you can even find the EXACT YEAR it would happen by cross referencing verses in Jeremiah and Leviticus.
God warns Israel in Leviticus that if she disobeys and refuses to repent she will be punished “7 times over” for her sins.
This is exactly what happened when the Jews were exiled to Babylon. They rebelled against God and refused to repent even after Cyrus allowed them to return to rebuild the temple in 536BC.
According to the 26th Chapter of Leviticus; “7 years of years” (2,520 years) was added to their punishment. They were eventually banned from living in Jerusalem and scattered to the four corners of the earth.
When you add 2,520 years to 536BC which was the end of their original 70 years of punishment, it takes you to the year 1948.
What happened in the year 1948? Israel was officially and legally re-established in the land of Canaan in the exact place it existed over 2000 years earlier.
The Bible says that Israel would be re-established in her own land and when that happens she would “NEVER be removed again”.
It says that anyone trying to remove her would only “hurt themselves”. It even says that eventually “all nations” would attempt to remove her and when that happens God himself would fight for Israel “as in the days of old”. This is all in Scripture.
If you want to see what it looks like when God fights for a nation just re-read the Exodus from Egypt. With all the prophecies that have been and continue to be fulfilled, I have no doubt this will also happen.
Most Christians have whole-heartedly adopted replacement theology which removes the issue altogether by simply replacing the Nation of Israel with the Church.
In order to do that you must ignore HUGE sections of Scripture AND you have to convince yourself the Jews in Israel are not the descendants of Abraham.
I know people can seem to make a strong case that the Jews in Israel are not “real Jews” but this has been THOROUGHLY debunked by dozens of peer reviewed studies examining DNA evidence of people living in Israel today.
And just think for a second, You want me to believe God declared the EXACT year Israel would re-appear on the earth and then He failed to get the right people back there!?!
No. It is much more likely there is a HUGE mis-information campaign designed to bring death and destruction on humanity.
Listen! The Bible says that anyone who comes against Israel will be destroyed, so I would expect for the devil to make a very convincing campaign to turn as many people against her as possible. Why? So they will be destroyed.
The devil knows the Scriptures better than anyone and he can only work within the framework God has established. And what has God said about Israel “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you”
So isn’t it interesting to think about WHO has historically blessed Israel and been “for her” Think about the Balfour Declaration. Think about the Rothschilds! How blessed are they? I mean they are the wealthiest people on earth! They played a major role in the re-creation of Israel.
Here is the trick: There is a super sophisticated demonic campaign to make it appear as though Israel is perpetrating all these atrocities so the world will turn against them and be cursed! This is the devils MAIN plan and that is why it is so convincing! If you know, you know! Don’t fall for it! Agree ONLY with Truth.
And don’t misunderstand me. I don’t believe the Rothchilds are of God, but they have tapped into that mystical power of Israel, just like anyone can. God will bless those who bless them. Just as you can be “of the devil” and reap certain blessings by aligning with God’s plans, so one can be “of God” and yet reap curses for being against his plans.
Israel seems to be a mystical source of wealth a power that the devil has been using for himself and his pawns. Think about Solomon! The wisest most powerful man to ever live. He fully tapped into this source of earthly riches and mystical power.
When I really think about every person moving in true supernatural power today, they are all pro-Israel. There is not a single person I know of who slanders Israel who walks in supernatural power. (Like the kind of power I would be jealous of)
So why is Israel and the Land of Canaan so important?
You have to go back to Genises 17 where God gave it to Abraham and his descendants as an “everlasting possession.”
He made the physical Land of Canaan part of the Everlasting Covenant, through which all the nations on earth would be blessed.
It was the foundational covenant which Christ fulfilled with his sacrifice, and for some reason the Land has a very important role in that. It may play a role in the “restoration of all things”
Romans says ALOT about the significance and future of Israel (which necessarily includes the land) Look at Romans 10-11. Notice how Paul talks both about the descendants of Abraham and the Nation of Israel.
I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,
“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace…..
What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Just as it is written:
“God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.” And David says:
“Let their table become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a recompense to them. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, And bow down their back always.”
[Israel’s Rejection Not Final]
I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the root. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness.
Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”
Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
I want you to pay close attention to certain parts here. Paul is saying some very interesting things about the Nation of Israel. (And clearly, there is no way to say this is talking about the church who would have “replaced” the Jews as he is comparing and contrasting both in the same breath)
And what does he say? He says the body of Christ is Jews and Gentiles and they make up a “plant”. He says when the Jews are the root and branches. He says when the Jews were cut off Salvation came to the Gentiles and when they are grafted back in something called “LIFE FROM THE DEAD” will take place.
If the cutting off of the Jews had such amazing benefits for the gentiles then just imagine how much MORE AMAZING it will be for everyone when they are grafted back into their own plant!
I know people who are obsessed with getting Jews “saved” because they believe it is the key to transforming the earth. Many prominent Christians think that this is the key to worldwide revival. I think it’s more than that. We have had revivals and they have ended. LIFE FROM THE DEAD is something more than revival.
“For if the root is holy the branches are holy and if the first fruits are holy the whole lump is holy. What is the key to the branches being holy? The ROOT being holy.
The Jews MUST have a revelation of the Cross to step into the holiness which Christ purchased with his own blood and when they do, something called “LIFE FROM THE DEAD” will initiate.
This will be even BETTER than salvation coming to the gentiles! It sounds like the entire plant, root and branch will be infused with heavenly LIFE and SUBSTANCE and not only that but the earth also!
It is the substance of heaven that will permanently transform the earth and it seems the Nation of Israel has a major role to play in that.
This passage in Romans is most definitely talking about the Nation of Israel. Why? Because the earth is part of what Jesus redeemed with his own blood and a plant with ROOTS must connect to the earth at some PLACE. The roots must go into the ground SOMEWHERE. I believe that is why the land of Canaan was part of the everlasting covenant in Gen 17.
In that passage God basically told Abraham: “if I fail to make you a great Nation and give you the land of Canaan I will cease to be God.” That means all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates was included in this foundational covenant.
And did you know Israel has never possessed all that land? They have never had all the land that God promised them, but it is important that they do and the Bible says they will.
I have been tempted, at several times in my life, to turn on Israel because of the sheer amount of damning information pushed out by the devils agents. But each time I have, God has immediately appeared to me in some way and warned me not to change my agreement about her. It is absolutely essential for me to hold fast this conviction that what the Bible says about Israel is true and critical to the redemption of earth itself. I pray that God will speak to you as clearly as he has spoken to me. Amen.
Key Principles for Victory -The Power of Agreement
The power is in the agreement, not the disagreement. I used to agree that God would continuously confront every wrong agreement in my life until they were all gone and that always did lead to some good things, but it also seemed to lead to some bad things. I usually ended up missing it and falling and then learning a lesson from it. <–Definitely NOT my favorite way to learn!! Not totally from heaven either. But when I changed that slightly that God would ecstatically confirm all my right agreements!
It was better. My wrong agreements were still confronted but in a positive way or affirming what was actually right, and these days I am still open to God gently confronting wrong agreements any way He chooses. That is a safe bet. (I want them gone by any means necessary)
Staying in God’s Presence
One time I got into a pickle because I was trying to stay in the presence of God through my own efforts. That is witchcraft. Only the Cross can keep you continually in his presence. It means that while your obedience is necessary, it is definitely NOT your doorway into his presence of God, the cross is.
I find it helpful to explain to people that the presence of God IS the righteousness OF GOD. His presence contains his RIGHTEOUSNESS. Staying in his presence is how we experience his righteousness all the way down to the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Well one time I slowly started to change my agreement and I noticed the desire for certain bad things started to creep back into my life. It was scary because the Bible commands us not to even desire evil.
I got together with a friend of mine and sought the Lord on it and I realized that I had changed my agreement from what the Bible says: “whoever DOES RIGHT IS RIGHTEOUS” to my helpful commentary “whoever is in the presence of God is righteous”<– this has truth in it, but it is not what you give your agreement to. It is more of a fact.
It is the DOER who will be BLESSED. When I changed the agreement back to what the Bible explicitly says “Whoever DOES RIGHT IS RIGHTEOUS those wrong desires left immediately.
Grace and Glorification
It’s all about the definition of GRACE. TRUE GRACE IS THE POWER TO OBEY GOD. (To instantly break free from an addiction and really step into this you may have to temporarily suspend the agreement that grace is unmerited favor because that is a major imbalance that will keep you stuck.
One day I was really High on Jesus and a friend started messaging me with facts about how we are not glorified yet.
ALARM BELLS went off. I could think of at least one verse that says we are Glorified ALREADY.
When I think about what is true THROUGH THE CROSS it makes sense that “those he justified he glorified” (Rom 8:30) So I did NOT give my agreements to any “process of glorification” and I stayed high.
Redefining Grace and Faith and Sovereignty
Grace is not “unmerited favor” that compels God to stay with you no matter what you do” GRACE is the POWER to OBEY God.
Faith = Obedience in thought word and deed. The Words for Faith and Obedience are used INTERCHANGEABLY throughout the New Testament! They are the same thing!
As far as your agreements go: God is NOT in control of everything. He is only in control of those who obey Him and the sovereign atmosphere of the King may be seen around those who submit their life to Him ONLY.
The Nature of the New Creation
You were a sinner before being born again. In fact your sinful nature was so evil that it COULD NOT do right, it was incapable of even one single righteous act. But because of what Jesus did on the Cross your old Nature was REMOVED SO THAT IT DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE and you were given a completely new nature which is the total opposite of the sinful nature so that it “CANNOT SIN”. It is INCAPABLE of even one unrighteous act. (1John 3) As new creation you are the exact opposite of a fallen creature. You are a SAINT. It is not possible for you to sin. This is the Truth of Heaven. How many people are sinning in heaven?
When you agree ONLY with God about who you are [which is a SAINT, the opposite of a sinner] You will find that you can repent of any sin and NEVER do it again simply by choosing to. This is very good news because the ONLY thing that can stop you from experiencing Heaven NOW is sin and the ONLY thing that is keeping anyone bound to sin is agreements with LIES.
The Path to Continuous Victory
I am free from sin. You can be free from sin, anyone who agrees with God and chooses to obey can be free from sin. That is the Gospel, All one has to do is throw out all previous experience under sin and agree with the interpretation of scripture that does NOT make ANY allowances for sin.
Then STOP listening to and reading ALL Christian material because it is ALL infected with some amount of compromise that will stop ANYONE from actually walking in freedom from sin.
Then will find you can stop doing whatever God is not pleased with and positively do every little thing you know he wants you to do. The result is always the same = FREEDOM — PEACE — JOY — LIFE
Agreeing vs Embracing
Remember that the most offensive agreements produce the most amazing fruit. It is good to offend the comfort zones of a defeated life. The Bible contains many levels of Truth and some of them are merely facts. There are many passages dealing with what you are to do IF you sin, this does not mean that you should be agreeing that you CAN sin. The Bible says that if you are born of God you CANNOT sin.
This is an important agreement. For many years I agreed that I was free from sin, but I never fully embraced the truth that it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to sin. When I agreed that I was free from sin but “I could still sin” there was an open door and I found that I was able to sin at any time and even missed critical steps which could have been as a result of that agreement alone. Agree and EMBRACE the Truth that, as a saint, you cannot sin. Even after being set free from sin, I danced around these verses and was afraid to incorporate them. Finally God showed me that it was a huge open door. As soon as I changed my agreement to it was impossible for me to sin, I noticed I repented of a few “little” things instantly. God was like: “Well if you cannot sin, then you better repent of these things”
“You know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and HE CANNOT SIN, because he is born of God. By this we can distinguish God’s children and the Devil’s children: anyone who fails to act righteously is NOT a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man. This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.” [1 John 3:5-11]
This is the TRUTH, we CANNOT SIN.
“My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” [1 John 2:1] “if you sin” is a fact. That is not what you give your agreement to. You do not agree that it is possible for you to sin.
The Bible says it is not IMPOSSIBLE for the child of God to sin and that is where your agreement needs to stay! You CANNOT SIN.
