Crushing the Serpent's Head

Was thinking on this early this morning from a teaching I had recently heard! I thought of when the enemy is divided!
Matthew 12:25-26  NKJV  25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26  If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

 

Jesus said that every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And you ask any spouse who became divided from their wedded spouse what desolation it has brought to them. Demonic activity is to stop man in the purpose God has for him. You can see that playing out in schools today: children not in school because of no bus drivers, the curriculum is wrong curriculum as to pornographic for a five year old ( really???), no one to clean the school, no  lunches accessible (shortage of food due to shortage of workers to gather food), no restroom facilities due to someone ripping them out, and the such! It is vax that, mask this, closed due to virus, or a scare tactic of “or else”. Domination is a ruler-ship according to some that only the strong survives and who is calling the shots. But I believe coming this winter, it will be those who lives through it who will have a position of speaking, standing and give faith in God! A friend Erica, just sent us this notice from the country of Canada in their paper, and the medical group writing the article was  pinpointing to that on Israel and United Kingdom where all those who took the vaccine are sick and in hospital right now. They listed what is coming out of those two countries and and most of the people in Israel and U. K. took that “vaccine”.  But those without the vaccine are all healthy whole going into the fall of the year! Yes, that speaks volumes!

You heard you need a vaccine, then it was to take two –seven years to gain access to that vaccine with the testing required, but then they attached something like a tale on donkey game, a vaccine not tested, but added to one that will be made available here in the country I live in the next couple of years.  It was like this “Taa---Daa” moment. We have something here to vax you up with! Still they speak one is approved, but they are not giving the approved vaccine but an experimental vaccine that has done terrible things to people. That is some tale to pin on some donkey who created it!!!

 Yet here you go down that way or path of human desolation and destruction. Started by a corona-virus thing, like something out of hell devised by the enemy himself to stop man in his walk with God, you can see desolation begin. You know if your children do not learn to read and write, they will never read the truth given in the Bible that has been protected for us to gain access to, to read, to learn and to know….yes understand about God Himself! Spiritual understanding is required to know we have an enemy and that he is spiritual, too!

Yes, the demons are a kingdom divided against themselves. As seen in Matthew 12:25-26, Jesus had a challenge that was given in that the demon He had just cast out of this person had been cast out by Satan. Jesus' argument is, "No, Satan would never cast out Satan." It would be stupid for Satan to cast himself out. He is not saying that under every condition Satan or other demons will not cast out other demons. Indeed, that does occasionally take place. Demons have activity to where they are very capable of doing signs and lying wonders. You can see that in Revelation 13! They will even have an entity which has power to do such those things! ( Lying wonders seen in 2 Thessalonians 2:9 and Deuteronomy 13:1)

 

Revelation 13:1-18 NKJV Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying “Who is like the beast?” Who is able to make war with him?” 5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.

(Here you have an entity like the dragon Satan give power to have a throne and authority.)

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 

Revelation 13:15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark of the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast for it is the number of man. His number is 666.

This is the fallen man, not the born again man! From verse 3 the mortally wounded is now alive again and the world is captivated. Understand this, that human beings, compared to God, are fundamentally untrustworthy, the weak. While people must be trusted from time to time in everyday life as to your parent or a spouse, in the most important matters, however, we cannot afford to lean on the broken crutch of human assistance.

If you have lived as long as I have, that to rely on an inconsistent person is relying on broken promises & much pain with heartache! Even the most well-intentional—will fail us. Human beings cannot be consistent, tend toward being inconsistent  & unable to help when needed the most!  But God has given us help! He has given us the life-saving grace, has declared what He will do when the human searches Him out. When reading the Bible, we gain understanding from the wisdom of God of what we face in that human condition! People can believe if you give them something out of the unusual.

Of the beast here in Revelation 13:1 and Revelation 13:8 is an entity called Thay-reon. He comes right out of the abyss. This demonic power is one with magical powers as a magician and can throw his voice as a ventriloquist. He is the troubler of the wind and waves Jesus spoke to in Mark 4:39! This is something the devil devises and uses lying wonders to trick people into believing. ( have you ever seen a magician who can throw his voice?) One thing to know is what Jesus taught and that is demons are divided against themselves. Because they are a kingdom with a the satanic rule, they are divided, because they are always in competition with each other. Just like Lucifer did in heaven, his pride developed into  more than just the music leader for God and heaven, being more as in taking God’s position, and that having more always spells ruin for anyone in the “me, myself, and I” mode of living. Because if you are in that position, you need real help from God!

Pick a country, any country and if God is not a part of its existence, then that government or governments are of human  (666) planning. It is humanity subjected and deceived by demons. They want human rules, human attitudes, human experiences to plan out by detail what others should follow in a human existence. Yet, God has given us His direction and guidance by His Holy Spirit.

 We can understand this when we recognize that the governments and most of humanity has been subject to and deceived by demons. Carnal or that human nature, is a reflection of the nature of Satan and his demons. Anyone born since Adam is a fallen creature. But those in Jesus are born-again unto God, to life and a family relationship.

From Revelation 13….the take away is two are rising for the tribulation. One is rising out of the sea and one is rising out of the land or earth. One is of the Gentile, that of the sea and the one of land or earth will be out of Israel. The only thing that keeps them unified is that at the head of this organization is a demon entity of a great  power but not like God Himself. This demon is able to whip those he rules into shape and line up with his whims in order to carry out his bidding. He does it by sheer force and his followers do not serve in love of or toward him. But they are the rebellious, and they will fall.

Of the sea, this does not describe a human political entity such as Rome. But this is one that describes the hideous, a satan-backed system of deception.. It would have idolatry that at any time express itself in that of human systems of the various kinds. You see that in Rome today. Here is Revelation 13, we find the hateful. This entity is the hateful, the blasphemous, the blaspheming and that hatefulness which produces in the intensified and devastating manifestations people will see. If you wrapped up all the horror movies you have seen in the last 50 years, this which will appear cannot be topped by any of them from those fifty year and will be appearing in full color and surround sound in the coming future!

The blasphemous healed and the wound of which was the fatal wound is the word in Greek with numbering 4435 meaning plague. Yes, another great cover-up by whoever sees the deathblow. Still, this creature lives. But human nature wants to rule, be number one, will try to win no matter the prize. But this is for keeps and involves hell!

All this ties back to Genesis 3:13-18 where the serpent’s head is wounded by her Seed. 

Genesis 3:13-18 and the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done? The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” 16 To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.”

As Satan used the woman against her husband and God, a virgin would give birth to the son of God and Satan would be bruised. A tree for a tree: the Cross proved a great blow to the adversary. The blood spattered Cross revealed a life given: His name Jesus! And He trampled Satan at the Cross for good!

Can you imagine having a conversation with a serpent? And yet there are most likely people having today a conversation with the serpent! And I wonder how much dust is in the serpent’s mouth as he speaks to human being!

Remembering Jesus’ Strong Admonition: Matthew 5:29-30 NKJV 29 "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out," or "If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off"

Is our faith of vigor, and is it determined in the strength of God to continue to walk with Him and overcome sin? Minimizing sin comes close to trampling the Son of God underfoot and putting His sacrifice to an open shame seen in Hebrews 6:6 if they fall way, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.; Hebrews 10:29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trample the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of Grace?

Scorning the Son of God by going back into a sinful life is a terrible punishment expected when one blasphemes the Holy Spirit. He who calls good evil and evil good, it one who will be punished. Do we have the sacrificial life that is holy unto God or just guilty of practicing sin like taking vices like smoking pot or drinking wine? ( pot kills brain cells and wine contains fungus that kills the body)

It was the Apostle John who wrote, "Whoever is born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God."

The seed in us is of God as seen in 1 John 3:9 whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. No, we are not characterized by lawlessness. But sin is natural to the children of the devil who has been sinning from the very beginning.

 Revelation 22:15, he adds, "But outside [the New Jerusalem] are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie." Such people will not be in God's Kingdom.

Here are “the dogs”, those who practice magical arts, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters and liars. Again idolaters who practice witchcraft, practice doing drugs and creating them. They are those who accept sin readily. They think God will just have to be satisfied with them willing not to overcome. But this is living dangerously, for Revelation 21:7 speaks : “ He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. This is a broken fellowship and living in a dangerous place. We are to overcome…… For by grace for you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God1

Receive His gift of grace….He rescues you from an impossible situation!

A TESTING OF FAITH!

Matthew 15:21-28..................21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed." 23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us." 24 But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" 26 But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." 27 And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." 28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.     NKJV

Ever cry out to God, but He does not answer you? This woman came to Him and cried out telling Him that her daughter is severely demon-possessed. 
Do we cry out and hear nothing? It could be God is testing our faith! What do you believe and where does your "trust" lie?
She heard HIM speak to His disciples........" I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
She then spoke, "Lord, help me!"

Lord help me, the one who is crying out for an answer to the situation! LORD! HELP!
John 1:11-13...........11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. NKJV

And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us." 24 But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Ever been dismissed by someone, when you tried to get an answer?  I remember needing some help with a computer once on the job. I could not find anyone who seemed available that could take a moment to help me. It was about 8:10 am, and I needed to check-in. That meant I had to get the computer going since it had the database on it which I needed. Without it on, we could make "no sales" and I could not check-in. Then I saw a man who was over the "supervisors" and he was talking with the owner of company. I walked over, but not to intrude, I waited to ask a question. I can wait a long time!  As soon as they saw me, the man over the supervisor's listened and dismissed me. Yes, it was pretty fast and he moved on with his conversation. I thought surely one of them might come to see why the computer was not coming on. (Yes, I had checked all the cords, and all the plug-ins, and it was time to check-in for work.) I opted to go to main computer by the front door and check-in for work.
I left the computer guessing to another person who would be in about 9 am. And I went and did my job. I blessed those I came in contact with and moved on, AND with a thankful heart.

Let's think about this Gentile woman and the moment she had come on the scene. She asked for help!
A MIRACLE ON THE HORIZON APPEARS! Or does it?
Do we stand fast to see that of which we ask to occur in our lives? Think about what had just transpired in Jesus' life. Was He deterred in anyway to stop what He was doing? He just kept going to those who would receive! Read below:

Matthew 15:1-20..............15:1 Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread." 3 He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'  5 But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"-- 6 then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: 

8'These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me. 
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' " 

10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." 12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" 13 But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." 15 Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us." 16 So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."     NKJV


Yes, this is where Jesus just came from. He had an encounter with the scribes and Pharisees. And He saw the Pharisees offended by His sayings. Jesus told them, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."  Jesus went on to tell the disciples of the evil which proceeds from the heart and named them. Wash your hands as much as you like, but that is not what defiles a man!

Then He has this woman coming to Him who is so ripe to receive, so ready to give Him an answer for anything He asks or speaks.

STEPPING FORWARD!
Do we as parents readily push forward, stepping out to help our children? When they cry, do we not come to their aide? Was there a dividing line coming?
The woman spoke, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
She knows the children's bread was that of the Jews and to eat at the Master's table. Although she knew Him to be sent for Israel, still she heard and saw the mercy and kindness He expressed to those He came in contact with on His walk through Canaan. She was saying, " I know I am not a Jew and of YOUR house, but I believe, and trust YOU can do something for my daughter."
She had an unwavering faith that Jesus could do that for which she asked. She called Him Lord, and worshiped Him. She expressed a like precious faith. Even in the discouragements of not being a Jew and of the house of Israel, yet she did not relent. She did not give up!
Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.  

Will we continue to step forward and believe? Will our hearts betray us, let us down? This woman sought something for her daughter. She did not care if she was compared to the "dogs". She sought out Jesus, the Lord, and His goodness. She sought a miracle for her daughter. For whatever remained, even that of crumbs under the table, was enough for this woman. What He had hoped to see in the scribes and Pharisees, and did not find, He certainly found it in this woman, a Gentile.
Can we move beyond having hurtful feelings and do what the Lord asked? Can we move beyond and see other's healed or come to Jesus? Can we show we have a real desire for that which Jesus died to give us?

Father, Jesus said in Matthew 15:13...that "every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. He was talking about the blind leading the blind. We desire to not be those who are blind. We desire that Christ dwells in our hearts through faith and that we are rooted and grounded in love. (Eph.3:17) We come to the Master's table, to receive that good thing.
We seek to make YOU Lord over our hearts. We truly desire to stay in the light of God and His knowledge. 
Father, we see from the Canaanite woman, a woman who did not buckle down to fear. She did not fall into the fear factor and rely on her five senses. We do not know what she was thinking other than what she spoke. But ONE thing was evident, and that was she wanted her daughter delivered from evil. She chose to pursue Jesus and in making that "right decision" she was brought to healing.
Today, we desire to be men and women who will have that same courage to pray and keep praying.......keep asking, and speak YOUR truth. And as we do, we expect that light to shine and bring us into YOUR glorious presence. We desire to willing submit to Your authority and rule. 
Put a longing in our hearts to talk with YOU and to hear YOUR voice. Your Word says, the just shall live by faith...Romans 1:17. We pray to have faith-filled lives. May we live each day with a leading by the Holy Spirit. We desire to not walk in doubt and fear of what may happen, but we choose to seek YOUR voice and plan for us.


Quiet those voices from the outside that represent the world and five senses. We receive today that we are the accepted in Jesus, and we are free! Holy Spirit we loose You now into our lives and our homes. Have Your way today in us........in Jesus' name. Amen.
