Ephesians 6 Are we really wrestling as we need to do? Our wrestling match is not against persons with bodies. Ephesians 6 being read by Derek Prince. We do not wrestle period From my observations most Christians are not really wrestling. Wrestling is a most intense conflict. Total Combat against spiritual forces, persons without bodies, against rulerships, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. How did it come about that there are spiritual forces or hosts of wickedness. in the heavenlies. In the beginning GOD created the Heavens (Plural) (II Corinthians 12:1,2, following. There are three heavens). Before I became a follower of Jesus and a Christian I was a professor of logic If there is a third heaven he was in paradise. The Top Heaven is where GOD dwells. First heaven is the one we see with the sun, moon, stars. Between the third heavens where GOD dwells and the heaven where earth is there is an intermediate heaven between earth and the THRONE OF GOD. Now what is the origin of this conflict? The BIBLE tells us some things. It is important that we do find out what the BIBLE has to say. I am going to turn now to Isaiah 14. Isaiah 14:12 The Fall of Lucifer. Prophetic Words describing an angelic being who fell from Heaven O Lucifer Son of the Morning. Motivation of Lucifers rebellion. Present name is Adversary. The Slanderer. Anybody who slanders is doing the devils work. MOTIVATION of LUCIFERs REBELLION against GOD. The will set in opposition to the will of GOD. Lucifer said, I will ascend into heaven. Five of Satans I wills. Origin of Lucifers rebellion is PERSONAL AMBITION AND PRIDE. THAT IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH. HOW MANY MINISTERS ARE MOTIVATED BY THE DESIRE THE AMBITION TO HAVE THE BIGGEST CHURCH. MANY SECTIONS OF THE CHURCH ARE RIDDLED WITH PERSONAL AMBITION IN THE MINISTRY. ITS ORIGIN WAS IN THE HEART OF LUCIFER AND SATAN HIMSELF. FIVE TIMES HE PLANNED TO EXALT HIMSELF. I HAVE A RADIO SERIES ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF PRIDE. THE WAY UP IS THE WAY DOWN. YOU HAVE TO GO LOWER. https://youtube/watch?v=UHo7xate62A
