I Imagine the following scene: It takes place moments after you obtained salvation. After you were conciliated with God. (2 Cor 5:18-21)The CEO and chief strategist of the Devil are in emergency session.They are talking about you! (V.M)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When did this awful tragedy occur?" >>>> (Demon 1)
"I just got word from the Dept. of Darkness (Eph 6:12) that light had exploded in him and he was instantly whisked away ..." >>>>(Demon 2)
"But we still grasp him, drag him back down here, right?"
"Not a ghost of a chance! You see when that light makes contact the damage is already done: He literally left our area of jurisdiction at 4:18 P.M. The only way to retrieve him now is to declare war on heaven and remember how that turned out last time. No laughing matter at all!"
"So the real person is now in a totally new kingdom and under brand new jurisdiction and authority but his old shell of a self is still here? How could this have happened? I understood you had him under special surveillance: You assured me he was safe"
"Yes master!: Ever since we detected that he may be one of those chosen for this period we kept a keen eye on him. In the last few months however the calling on his life became more and more intense: Like a pregnancy that had to come to the birth"
"Enough of the pregnancy stuff: The proceedure is clear from Romans 10:17: A heralder had to make contact some way with him for that birth to occur: You know as well as I do how the Father has openly revealed His methods so as to rub our noses in it"
Look! there are at least 127 heralders in this area alone. Hard to keep all under surveillance day and night. Full of rivers of life and bursting with living Rhema words we need special armour to even come near them! They don't rely on any of our systems like TV or Radio or literature. As far as we can gather it was a thin sliver of a young girl: She met him: Spoke for about 20 minutes about how God would leave the 99 saved and go in search of the last lost one! Told him of God's love for him and how God was no longer holding anything against him etc.. ... and then she was gone:"
"O.K, O.K. I get the message: No need for all the sordid details. But what can we do now? Surely there's some retaliation plan"
"We figure he will probably be here on earth for 28 more years: During that time he is under two headships: Headship of Adam lacking glory and prone to sin has to work itself out in physical death and the headship of Christ bursting with life and light and victory will work itself out in glory: We are going to work on feeding the Adam nature so the other is starved of the oxygen of the Spirit and Word and never matures properly"
"And then will we get him back to us?"
"You still don't get the picture: You will never get him back: All we can do now is limit or neutralise his effectivenes as a heralder: He's gone! Justified! Declared righteous!
"So we can still work on his Adam nature make him ineffective: O.K?"
"It is imperative first of all, I repeat imperative, that he never comes to the full realisation of who he really is: If he grasps his new identity in Christ then I fear for the whole area and generations of darkness could all come to nothing. This one is dangerous: Full of life!"
"What are you implying? That one stupid little son of Adam could undo all this? We have had total control here for 5776 years. Kill the little upstart if he is such a threat"
"No longer a son of Adam but a son of God: He's untouchable and under divine protection: Hands off! There is an intensity of light shining out from this one even at this stage I have never seen before. If he comes to know ..that he no longer lives but Christ lives in him ..and yields to Gods instructions then we are in major trouble"
"So what! We have met his type before and neutralised them totally. Remember that Samson fool and how we destroyed him by luring him into the flesh trap: You are my strategy officer: What steps do you propose to Samsonise this one?
Of prime importance is to contact our F.O.G Dept"
"F.O.G? What is that?"
"International Groups using the name of Christ, having a Form Of Godliness... but without any real power: In other words .."A fake form of Christianity"
"Are there branches of this F.O.G institution locally?"
"You are joking I presume. We have over 1470 in this country and several in this locality. I have already identified the one I will use"
"What's it called?"
"Oh it goes by different names: God something over the door: Christ posters on the walls! Steeples and crosses and sermons and ceremonies but none of this living flow of the spirit ..and of course death on the menu in every word from the pulpit"
"Wonderful work! But I hear from my sources that huge rivers of living waters are already gushing out from this one over neighbouring villages and towns! These rivers must be diverted immediately do you hear. Dammed!"
"We are at work but my agents have no protection against that Name He is using and the power of the blood and that armour of God he is wearing: (To put it bluntly we are being wiped out at the moment) Three of my best agents blinded already and one actually in awe and asking questions about Calvary and why God's powers are greater than Satan's
"
"Don't even mention that Calvary Fiasco in my presence: Biggest mistake we ever made. We were humiliated and lost everything except the ability to deceive! "
"Understood master but rest assured, once he settles down in one of our F.O.G institutions all that nonsense about pulling down strongholds will fade away and he will become like every other one.
"Fine! Shall we say 6 weeks to stop this rot or lasting damage can be done. You were going to say ...?"
"We also of course will be boosting his old Adamic Ego and self image: Adamic you know! His family, background, achievements, addictions, weaknesses, great plans for the future etc. As the father moves in to crucify the flesh this should be easy pickings for us:You know whisper "God is so unfair" type of thing. Put lasting doubts in his mind about the goodness of God and totally hide from him the glories awaiting him in a few days literally"
"Next 6 months is critical: I know from experience he must be religionised fast. Can you rob him of all power in that time. Can I rely on you"
"We have a long history of major successes but some notable fails too. Remember that guy Stephen who was facing a mob ready to lynch him: Then suddenly he seemed to step aside and saw a new reality and died almost destroying us with joy on his face and praying and forgiving his tormentors: Did untold damage to us"
"Yes I remember: We had it all set up so he would die angry and cursing all around but it backfired on us. He was the spark that brought thousands away from us, including that turn-coat Paul "
"Also Elisha's servant comes to mind"
"Little we could do there as God just opened his eyes when Elisha prayed for him and the game was lost. Must remember to stop any modern Elisha praying for this one"
"Hope you have learned from past disasters: This must not happen here: Keep him focussed on how unfair and how awful his life is: How hard it is to be alone and all friends and colleagues gone: You know the ritual! Always works"
"Swamp him in meetings and verses and good works for fear he would ever learn that "it no longer is himself but Christ who is doing the living" If that realisation ever breaks thro' we could be seeing the great work of generations of darkness undone.
"Put a stop to this 1-2-1 WIFI or whatever damn system he has with heaven. Replace it with F.O.G bible studies and discussions and parties"
I
"Good idea! That 1-2-1 is the powerhouse so we will shut it down asap"
"Our KIC programme is excellent: (i.e. keep it complicated.) Our trained men will soon have him discussing -isms and dates and philosophy so he forgets where his power source really is. He could even catch that form of spiritual alzheimers where he forgets everything except Man Utd and Rock stars and the latest craze on TV"
"O.K All sounds good: Any final words"
Blind him! Blind him! Never let him see who he really is in Christ. Keep him trying to perfect the old man until he gives up in failure and disgust:
"Hope it works
"You hope? It has to or this one will destroy us"
Did you write this Vincent, as in composed it.
ReplyDeleteYes God help me! I love to put in dramatic form heavenly truths that can appear stuffy or unattractive in cold theological speak.
