Study:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Peace,

I am led to do this study. I pray the Father's blessing over this study and that we may have our spiritual eyes opened to truth. Amen.

Who is Satan? Satan has many names let's look at these names. Satan, Lucifer, Father of Lies, deceiver, devil, the wicked one, abaddon, adversary, angel of light, thief, tempter, star, ruler of this world.

According to the bible Lucifer was an angel are angels spirits? Let's read Hebrews 1:6,7⁶ And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.⁷ And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

So, if Lucifer is a spirit then a spirit entered into the serpent in the garden of Eden and made him speak. The spirit also entered into Judas Iscariot. So, is Satan a man or angel (spirit)? 

Let's read more on Lucifer Ezekiel 28:13-19¹³ Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.¹⁴ Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.¹⁵ Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.¹⁶ By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.¹⁷ Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.¹⁸ Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.¹⁹ All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Isaiah 14:12-15¹² How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!¹³ For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:¹⁴ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.¹⁵ Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Revelation 12:9 ⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Satan is a conquered spiritual being. Although he has spiritual rule over this world he has it only for a time appointed by God. While Jesus lives on earth, Satan and the evil spirits knew that Jesus was the Christ. Therefore they obeyed HIM and HIS rule over them. 

Luke 4:35³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

Luke 4:41 ⁴¹ And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

Let's read how victorious Jesus was over Satan. Matthew 28:18-20¹⁸ And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

What did Jesus say to Saul (Paul)? Acts 26:¹⁶ But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;¹⁷ Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,¹⁸ To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Though Jesus had risen into heaven Satan still had spiritual rule over the people of the earth. 1 John 5:18,19 ¹⁸ We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.¹⁹ And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.


Let's look at Ephesians 2:1-6And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;² Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:³ Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,⁵ Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)⁶ And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Please read this again Selah. 

Folks, we continue to allow Satan to live in our minds. This is a spirit. When we are born again and repent of our sins which we were dead in God quickened us together with Christ, (by grace are we saved) "and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" AMEN!!!

Folks, when we die to sin through repentance and are born again a new man we are NOW not later NOW raised up together with Christ to sit in heavenly places IN Christ. 

Do you have eyes to see what the Holy Spirit is revealing to us? We are ALREADY raised up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. AMEN AMEN!!

In HIM with love,
Cassie
