PENETRATING THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS

One of the things Jesus said that was very powerful is that he said he was about his Father’s business. You know one thing that Jesus acknowledge was business. And one of the things we want to do is be about our Father’s business. One of the things that Jesus was doing was penetrating the kingdom of darkness, in fact the bible says, he came to expose the devil, didn’t he (?) And God is trying to bring his church more into the area of penetrating the kingdom of darkness and it takes cooperation by his church. By penetrating the kingdom of darkness it advances the kingdom of God , you cannot advance the kingdom of God until you’ve penetrated the kingdom of darkness. So that means there has got to be exposure, but one of the things that God deals with first of all is us. Because he can’t utilize you to penetrate the kingdom of darkness if your still associating with darkness. The first thing he does is to begin to deal with us and get us freed up, that ‘s why he establishes deliverance , healing and services. The bible says, forsake not to assemble (why?) so that you stay filled up, that you get fresh manna , that revelation is constantly there for you. And not only that it helps your personal prayer life. Because sometimes we have a hard time breaking through and we need to get into corporate worship because of the anointing, it helps you the rest of the week, for your own personal prayer life. But if your not a seeker of God’s presence you’ll always have trouble. You have to have the desire to want to be used to penetrate the kingdom of darkness. And let me tell you, victory does not come without a battle. So that means there’s a place of preparation and learning. Because freedom is learned not just granted. Jesus paid the price for you learn to get free. He is the door, in other words, he made the way. OK here’s the door, come on in, now I’m going to teach you. That’s why he says come to me and learn of me. You know there is so many people thinking that’s it’s a drive through (Bam) its done and over with. Man do I wish that would happen. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just walk through the front door and (Bam!) your brand new. Every things gone all the additions, all fears, all the bondage, all the sickness etc., but it doesn’t work that way (why?) Well first of all you got to understand that God is preparing you for another dimension. This whole realm is nothing but a school. And once you get through with this school and this whole earth goes and all the heavens and everything changes, your going to another place. And what you do here is going to affect you there.

So why do you think God put things in this book? So we can learn!!! It still blows my mind that there are still organization that when they come together they still don’t read out of the bible! How’s people going to learn, every church should be a teaching church. How are people going to learn. How are they going to penetrate the kingdom of darkness and advance the kingdom of light without learning? I remember I was brought up in organized religion, and man was it organized. The didn’t change, every

Page 2: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

time you went it was the same thing, and you didn’t change either that was the problem. It was so organized you stayed the same. You got organized to death, but you were no good for the kingdom of light to penetrate the kingdom of darkness. I didn’t know anything, when I went into that church, I left that church the same way. The weapons and the dope stayed outside the church, I had that kind of respect, anyways, but when I left that church I picked the stuff right back up and went about doing what I had been doing again. I didn’t change, I had heard a couple of scriptures, you know, a few things , a couple of repentance prayers and back there I was again. There was no change because there was no presence. There was no anointing that broke the yoke of bondage. There was no word to penetrate to cause me to convict and repent. It was deader than dead. It was organized religion, there was no fire and there was no zeal. It was bleah!! There was no power, there was no strength, there was no dreams and visions, there was no fulfillment of the word and there was no penetration of the kingdom of darkness. There was no victory, people are still crying out for help. But finally God sent me to a place where there was help and the first thing that I saw was the word being preached intently. I said, WHOA!! You mean the bible is true!? I mean I’ve been in church since I was a little kid (7 or 8), you had to go there every morning before class and I still didn’t believe the bible was true (isn’t that amazing?) . But when I was in a place, where there was worship and there was change and people were speaking in this funny language, of course the enemy was trying to get me to agree that this was a devil. But there was something that was happening, I was feeling something, there was love, something was different. And I realized that when that preacher picked up the bible and begin to speak from the word of God I thought my God, I never heard this before, the word of God is true!, the bible its just a book, but its not just a book, its recorded testimonies, witnesses, experiences of people that have gone through, who followed God, who desired God and what God did was totally different. See so without the word of God and without the training of the Holy Spirit and the school of the Spirit you can’t change, then you can’t be used to penetrated the kingdom of darkness and expand the kingdom of light. That’s why it is our responsibility to constantly be filled with the spirit of God, to be filled with his word to be lead by the spirit which the sons of God are manifest that’s our responsibility. Its not about religion. This is not religion, this is kingdom business. When Jesus said I’m about my father’s business he didn’t mean religion, in fact if you’ll notice everything he spoke about, behold the kingdom of God is at hand.

Matthew 11:7

As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind.? “But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses. “But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and

Page 3: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

more than a prophet. “For this is he of who it is written: ‘Behold, I send my messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You. “Assuredly, I say to you among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heavens suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Now we know that John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elisha and the bible says that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence (why) because there’s a fight. And if you are not in the battle you become a casualty. So you can’t just tip toe through the tulips and skip though. You may say, well the devil’s not bothering me, well of course he’s not he’s residing in you. He’s not going to bother anyone that can’t show him any damage. He will come over and pet you occasionally. Jesus warned us about those who would come in his name. Yes, you just keep going to church and be that form of religion where they have that special seat for you every week. Never gaining, never growing but staying the same and if your not in that battle you become a casualty. See when you praised and worshiped you were in battle. Well, I don’t get it? Well it because you don’t read the word, here’s the truth. The bible tells us that when you praise and worship the Lord , ambushes your enemies. I pray every body get convicted and get in the word. Because the word is truth and the truth shall make you free. That’s why people don’t worship God the way that they should. They give a little one toe step. Yeah, I’d really like to go out there and dance around a little bit, I would really like to worship the Lord but something might happen. Like you could get set free or you might get healed. Oh my goodness, the demon in me could leave, that religious spirit could go and would be set free, Oh my God, what would I do then. Then I would be accountable, responsible then I would have to learn. Then I would have to be used by God. The I would have to DIE. John was the forerunner of the return of the Lord. We are forerunners of the return of the Lord. John got in there faces. He got in the face of demons and demonic activity. Jesus, was no wimp, he called hypocrite a hypocrite. He rebuked them right to their face, you hypocrite (you Pharisee and Sadducees). He didn’t take no garbage he went into places and cast out devils. Man you speak about devils in certain places and they freak. You know why? because they just got exposed, not the people but the devils. Jesus didn’t care about how people thought of him, his purpose was to carry out the message and the truth because he was a messenger of truth. He came because he loved his children and his creation to rescue them. So if you don’t know truth how can you rescue anybody? Those are people who don’t say I’ll pray for you those are people who say you’re in my thoughts. Thanks, What good is you thinking of me instead of praying for me.

Malachi 3:1

Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me. Did you know you are preparing the way for the Lord? And he will prepare the way before me. And

Page 4: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly com to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant. In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming, Says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver. He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness. You know the greatest offering that you can offer God is your life and your praise. Truth is knowledge understood. You got to asks yourself am I really a messenger of truth? Am I a danger to the kingdom of darkness? If your not a danger to the kingdom of darkness, you are in trouble. Why? Because if your not a danger to the kingdom of darkness, you are an asset to the kingdom of darkness. There is no in between, Jesus said your either for me or against me, that’s it. And we are in a new season, there is a whole shift and change that’s happening. God is exposing and bring deeper and he’s trying to bring his body into a unity so we can penetrate the kingdom of darkness and expand the kingdom of light. Without penetrating the kingdom of darkness the kingdom of light cannot be expanded.

Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And knowledge understood is truth. So my people are destroyed for nothing else except lack of knowledge. Now there’s some knowledge that it ain’t worth understanding. There’s so much knowledge out in the world, who gives a hoot. I don’t waste time on knowledge I don’t need to know. My peoples are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; That your first office, when you become a believe in Jesus Christ your first office that you are to fulfill is priesthood and a priest is one who ministers to the Lord. If you can’t fulfill your first office you want be getting any others. And that office is to constantly be maintained, priest before warriors. Because you have forgotten the law of you God. How could you forget the law of your god if you never knew it. It says in here if you forget the law of your God, I will also forget your children. You know what some of us are in here because our parents didn’t know the truth. My parents did not know the truth, they played religion, but they didn’t know the truth. They went to church, they a quarter every now and then, they didn’t know anything about tithing because no one ever taught them. When they went to church they heard three scriptures that was it. One repeated twice! The didn’t know the truth they didn’t have bible studies, they didn’t have bibles, there was a hymn book there and that was it. Don’t be offended, learn. My parents didn’t know, why? they might have known the ten commandments almost everybody in the United States knows the ten commandments. But that was the law for them, the unbelievers are up under the law and they will be judged by the law when they get before God. I remember when I use to steal stuff, I’d say OK I got that one. Thy shall not lie, thy shall not do this, thy shall not do that, but I had no power to obey it, so I cooperated

Page 5: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

with it, with what? the opposite of the what the commandment said. Not only that you were convicted by your conscience you knew you were doing the wrong thing, so our children go astray because of where we are. Why? Because it is inherited so what you do is going to happen to your children. I was one of them I can speak about it. We have a discipleship house, let me tell you most of the children that come in are because of what the families has done and because it has been inherited all the way down the line. But we are good people! Good people don’t go to heaven. See you’ve got to eat of the tree of life not of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. My children, my people are destroyed for lack of truth. Why, I just don’t believe God works that way. Well you don’t know him. When you know him you’ll know how he operates, you’ll know how he works, and you’ll know his heart. You see most people walk in myths, theories, and assumptions. See it’s not a thing of whether you know believe God , it’s whether you know God. There’s a place where you go beyond God and you go farther. Most peoples you talk about God, they go yeah, God. They think he’s somebody up there waiting to pound somebody, they abuse the love of God, and they call it grace so they can go out and sin. They have the lie once saved always saved, and they utilize this as yes!! God’s grace!! But they don’t even understand what grace is, they think grace is the covering of evilness, it has nothing to do with it. Grace is the will of God put into action, it the plan of escape for us to escape darkness and hell, that’s what grace is. Jesus came in the fullness of grace and truth. What was grace? He held back the powers of darkness, held back judgment and gave you the plan. He said come on now follow me and you will come out. He didn’t say, OK , I paid all the price for you it’s OK , for you to go out and serve the devil. No, He said, follow me. It’s amazing how that lie down penetrated the body of Christ. Once saved always saved. That you can go out and do any stinking thing you want and expect to stand before God and say, Hey, come on I’m home, let me in. The bible warns us over and over again in the scriptures, that anyone that is not willing to do the will of God and practices the works of the flesh will not enter the kingdom of god. It has nothing to do with that, its amazing the deception and the spirit of error in the body of Christ. Phenomenal! Because my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. People reject the move of the spirit the gifts of the spirit. I’m telling you God is beginning to penetrate into areas he’s cleaning up and shaking up the body of Christ in a tremendous way.

Daniel 12:1

“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. This is prophetic you, see Israel became a nation in 1948 so we know he’s talking about that time now. Israel became a nation in 1948 so he’s saying these events are going to come. In fact we are already in, there are three areas of revelation. And revelation is a representation of revealing Christ. And because of those

Page 6: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

who have not known Christ and rejected Christ, he will be revealed to them through judgment, through trails and tribulations. And the first part of tribulation is actually what we call birth pains or the beginning of sorrows the next part is tribulation and then there will be great tribulation. Time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every on who is found written in the book of life. In other words, you are determined whether you are in the book of life or not when you stand before God. The moment you take your last breath. Everybody is born with there name in the book of life, that why children go home. But then there is the age of accountability that’s why there’s no children in hell. But there is an age of accountability where you become accountable to what your reactions are and what your life is. And in that accountability, the day you die, and if you are doing what you are suppose to be doing, your name is in the book. And if your not its erased it disappears. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt or torment. Those who are wise shall shine Line the brightness of the firmament And those who turn many to righteousness (that’s penetrating the kingdom of darkness isn’t it?) Like the stars forever and ever. “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” If you think about it, Look at what’s been going on for the last past ten years. I can remember when all we had was black and white TV, now we have color TV on watches. We have technology and whatever, because the bible says, that before Jesus returns his word is going to be preached to every area every nation of the globe. That can almost be done right now. In fact it can be done right now. So we see that increase of knowledge is going to happen in fact we know that we are in it right now. Now knowledge prepares us to advance, as knowledge is increased in your life, your learning more and more about the kingdom of God, I’m not talking about worldly, and carnal knowledge, I’m talking about the kingdom of God, things, understanding more about the things of the spirit realm, understanding more about demonic activity, understanding more of weapons, more things to learn how to fight. See once you become a child of God you become a priest, once you become a priest that administers to the Lord you become a warrior. A warrior always in training, in other words he never gets to the point where I know it all (never). He gets to the point where he says, I want to know more. He never stops or goes backwards, always advances, saying I want to know more, I want to know more Lord show me. And the Lord is always bring it across our paths, that’s why every day you must asks for more wisdom, knowledge and understanding. If you don’t ask you don’t get. Lord grant me more thirst and hunger for you righteousness, grant me more of you, grant me more dreams and visions. God loves this. Look at what Solomon did, He asked for more wisdom and understanding so that I may lead you people, God said good answer. God said to Solomon, because you asked I’m going to bless you socks off. Because you asked what touched my heart

Page 7: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

I’m going to make you wealthy. You are going to be the riches, the most wealthiest man that ever was and who ever will be. Solomon said, Hallelujah. The Solomon say’s OK, then I’m going to fulfill my father’s desire and dream. And that was to build you a place, an awesome place. See Solomon’s heart was Yes, I want more, Yes, and the Lord said, your going to be the wisest man their was. So Solomon was wiser than the wise men. I love it the way he said I’m going to prosper you, I mean Solomon had gold and silver and everything. People came from all over the world to come and hear his wisdom and to hear him speak. Why? Because he was speaking the things of God. And the bible talks about that there was must peace then. There was peace on the earth. Do you know why? Because the wealth of the world was in the hand of Solomon. See when the wealth of the world is in the hands of the kingdom, there is peace. Because that what the devil use’s to expand his kingdom, the devil uses wealth to manipulate people, the devil uses wealth to but people in bondage and control them, he uses wealth to starve others and he uses wealth to promote others. The God that’s ruler of this world is associated with wealth that’s how he controls things. The bible says, the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous, that’s one of the ways that God is going to use his children to penetrate the kingdom of darkness is to begin to take back the wealth. See your hearing a lot of things about prosperity, its not about a selfish thing, its about the Lord going, come on take back my wealth that the wicked is using to promote pornography, to promote ungodly music, to promote addiction and abuse. From the moment you came into the world, you heard you need to be somebody. And the only way you can be somebody is to have a lot of cash in the bank. You can’t do anything without an education. Why do people get educated? To make money!! Most people don’t go get educated to go help somebody, they do it for self. They say, well if I can get paid to help somebody (I’ll do it). But see the wealth is still being laid up, its not being distributed by the kingdom, by clean hands. And then there’s all kinds of organizations they call charities and that’s all its doing is promoting more wickedness. Unicef, United Way those are all wicked organizations and there’s many of them. So people thing their giving to charity and doing a good deed. When you go behind the scenes you see they just promoted abortions, they promoted death to children, they promote pornography, they promote same sex marriage, they promote people getting in office to fulfill their agenda. You see the greatest stock market you could be in is the kingdom of God. There is a hundred fold return. The bible says, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, he has not changed, his word has not changed, his ways have not changed. But I’m telling you what he changes, his tactics. Why? To penetrate the kingdom of darkness. Now when you are in business and God begins to set up a business for you, there better be ethics, godliness in other words the bible says don’t do unto others what you don’t want done unto you. We must abide under the rules and regulations. Cause the enemy is looking for any area to penetrate to get in to steal your wealth. Why? Because if he can steal your finances he knows somebody want get feed,

Page 8: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

he knows somebody want get a bible, somebody want get a track, somebody want get saved, a radio station want get put on to minister into Russia or China, you see it takes finances to do that.

Isaiah 43:16

Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea. And a path through the mighty waters, Who bring forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Who do you think he’s speaking to? Us. This is associated scripture of he who is in Christ is a new creation and old things have passed away and all things have become new. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness. And rivers in the desert. So he says, I am doing a new thing, he stays the same and his promises are the same, they don’t change. But the advancement of his kingdom to penetrate darkness tactics change. So that means you’ve got to be willing to change. Paul said something very powerful, he said, I became many things so that I could rescue and save others, he became many things. So you’ve got to be willing to change.

II Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. New creation must advance in the character and the creators tactics. And we must be lead by the Spirit to walk in newness, again he is always moving even when he is still. God is always moving, even when he is still. You may think he is still, but he is always moving. He’s always moving even when you think he is still, you might be still waiting on God, but he’ moving. He’s moving, what’s he doing? He’s bringing something new, for what? To penetrate the kingdom of Darkness (Why?) Because he stays in advance, he always stays a step ahead of the devil and tries to go into other areas because he knows what the devils next move is. The problem is, if we are not filled with knowledge, understand, discernment, have a prayer life, have a personal life we are going to miss the things, if we are not willing to change and let the old things go, sometimes the old strategies are put aside and there’s a new strategy that comes up. Sometimes God will tell you to open up a business to try to penetrated the kingdom of darkness, to take the funds from them. The strategy right now is to begin to remove the wealth from the wicked. That’s the strategy for right now, that’s how we are penetrating the kingdom of darkness. But you got to be careful, even with the people of the body of Christ, there’s still covenant, they are not supporting what they are suppose to be supporting, but of course they are not right with God anyway. He is always moving even when he is still.

Page 9: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? “For the Son of Man will com in the glory o His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. OK, we just talked about, He who is in Christ is a new creation, old things have passed away and all things have become new. Denying self is a representation of fulfilling that scripture right there. Why? Because you’ve got to come to a place where you are willing to relinquish your past of peoples, places and things that would cause delay of advancement and character of Christ to be manifested in you. He says, pick up your cross and follow me, that means advance. You know there are certain things we’ve got to relinquish in our past like certain beliefs, there are certain know ledges that we have picked up that are just wasted time. There are certain religions that we’ve been involved with that need to be relinquished, certain customs, there are certain things, even the way people use to dress in the world. Girls use to have short mini-skirts and whatever. In fact when we were in the world and was in gangs we use to wear what they call colors. Now we don’t wear colors, the color we wear is warrior for Christ. The colors you wear are a representation of Jesus. You don’t wear accursed items anymore, things that represent gangs, drugs, alcohol, music, pornography and whatever, you don’t promote that type of thing anymore, so you stay away from it. See God can’t use you to advance into the kingdom of darkness unless your advancing. You must be willing to advance. There’s certain areas where we must relinquish of certain habits and attitudes and even of certain reactions and how we react. Everyone of us comes from a specific culture whether it be Spanish, Italian, Korean, or Portuguese it doesn’t matter there are multiple colors of individuals. But let me share something with you, all of that must go. It has nothing to do with the kingdom of God, there is no color and there is no culture. They are Christ and his new culture, and his new character, there is nothing else any more. There is not Irish, there is no leprechauns, there is no four leaf clovers, or horseshoes as a matter of fact the word luck comes from the word Lucifer, that needs to come out of our vocabulary, you are no longer lucky, you are blessed. See there’s a whole new character, a whole new change now (why?) He that is in Christ is a new creation, old things have passed away and all things have become new. If that is not happening and you are not advancing then you can’t be used to advance the kingdom of darkness and destroy it. The bible talks about what ever comes out of your mouth will reveal your heart, it you are still a curser, then something anit right you anit advancing. If you are a gossiper and an accuser, your not advancing. God is dealing with you. You are still associating with past, your haven’t relinquished certain things yet. Believe me there are still people who go on the internet and check out pornography. Your not advancing, the

Page 10: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

bible says come out from among them and be separate. Still touching unclean things. Well, I can still have an occasional drink . The only drink you need to do is lift your hand where its free. People are still bound by certain thing, like cigarettes or dip and stuff like that. Let me tell you something, the bible says, make no place for the devil. We don’t want to give a place to the devil. (why) because we want to advance. He said, I give you a sword, use it. We are no longer associated with our cultures you are Christ. Jesus came to fulfill all things so start something new (didn’t he?) . Advance his kingdom by penetrating darkness.

Palm 15

Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, (that’s a new person) And speaks the truth in his heart (well if you don’t have the truth in your heart it anit coming out of your mouth), He who does not backbit with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a vile person is despised. In other words he who does ungodliness is despised. But he honors those who fear the Lord; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change; Oh man we must be consistent and reliable, responsible, trustworthy. He who does not put on his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. You must be consistent, when you are not consistent you have come in agreement something.

II Peter 1:5

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence add to your faith virtue to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. Fore if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is short sighted, even to blindness and has forgotten to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to your abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Never stumble, be consistent, reliable. You know the bible says know who you labor with, so he’ going to test you.

Matthew 12: 28

“But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, (demons are in the bible, even Jesus was casting out devil, did you know that was a third of his ministry) surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. “Or how can one enter a strong man house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he can plunder his house. “He

who is not with Me is against me and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. Now he said cast out demons, not only out of people but out of places. To advance the kingdom and penetrate Satan’s kingdom. That’s why warfare in the spirit is worship. (what are you doing?) you are removing. You are removing spirits (why?) To rescue souls, God does it with deliverance. Plundering his goods, (what does goods represent) money. I’m telling you this is what God is doing right now, he’s bring wealth to his body in many ways. But you’ve got to be in position, you’ve got to be following along and inline with the ruling guidelines of the kingdom. For what? For wealth to come. (why) because the bible says, God will give you witty in inventions and so forth. Jesus said he was about his Father’s business and so we should be about our Father’s business, but its got to be with ethics from the throne room. Not your ethics, not your understanding and not your way of worldly business but the way of godly business. He is trying to get wealth. Now he’s going to bring us wealth, so we can go penetrate the kingdom of darkness and take there wealth. It says, here bind the strongman so you may enter and blunder the goods, take his finances. Penetrate to remove his finances with expand his kingdom and puts man under his rule. God says money is the God of flesh. He also say the love of is the root to all evil and every other kind of evil there is. The love of money. Now I love the Lord, but I also love the kind of money that he gives, because I know that the money is to expand his kingdom. Its not about fulfilling a selfish desire. Its about building orphanages, feeding, clothing, and sheltering, taking people out of the bondage of darkness and watching them get filled with the hand of god. Our purpose now is no long our life. If you gave your life to Jesus, you don’t have a life. Its now what he wants no longer what you want. The prophetic move of God is advancing it is advancing the wealth shift, fulfilling the word that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous.

I Peter 5:5

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, (where the word says clothed I want you to submit the word cloaked) you are to be cloaked in humility. For “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble” There fore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober , be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Now cloaking with humility, first of all cloak is a representation of invisible. This is two prophetic things I want you to understand right now. God says, the move of the spirit right now and the movement of what he doing is penetrating the kingdom of darkness to remove its finances (the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous). The way we are going to penetrate the kingdom of darkness, we talked about advancing, advancing in knowledge and understanding and so forth advancing in our relationship. But there is

Page 12: Penetrating the Kingdom of Darkness 1

something we must constantly maintain to advance to be invisible and that’s to be cloaked with humility. Do you know that when you are cloaked with humility, the devil can’t see you, you are invisible. But the bible says, God resist the proud and when you are prideful you are a blinking light to the devil. When you are cloak with humility, you are invisible, you have access to anything to destroy the powers of darkness. Look at what happened with Jesus, when Jesus, you know they tried to kill him so many times. What happened to him? He disappeared!! He was able to get in and out of places. I mean he was in a crowd of peoples and all of a sudden he was gone. (why) Humility. Humility will keep you invisible to the powers of darkness. Once you begin to shoot off your mouth in areas of pride and spew out things in pride, you just became visible. When was Satan more visible? With pride. In fact the bible says, the Lord is sending him to the earth and he’s going to become visible to everyone. See but when you are in the spirit, the powers of darkness are not invisible to you. So if you maintain the cloak of humility your are invisible to the powers of darkness and you’ll be able to penetrate the powers of darkness.

I Peter 2:13

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme., or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honor all people, Love the brotherhood, Fear God. Honor the king. So there are two things that are happening, God is saying, listen its important that we begin to penetrate and destroy the finances of the kingdom of darkness and the only way your going to penetrate them is to become invisible by being cloaked with humility.

Ephesians 4:11

And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. They are being trained up. The equipping of the saints. What’s he doing, he’s training his children to begin to penetrate the powers of darkness to steal the money. Now you’ve got a full right to steal, and you’ve been wanting to do that for years. But your actually taking back what’s rightfully yours. And your going to be cloaked with humility, which keeps you invisible. Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; which is the anointing, the anointing, that’s power. Without the anointing you can’t overcome. That we should no longer be children, immature doing the same goofy things over again tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, in other words coming into agreement with any voice of

strangers, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head – Christ- from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
