38. We Defeat the Accuser

Audio Only:





Then I heard a great voice inside of heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation, the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who has accused them in the presence of our God day and night. And THEY have overcome him through the blood of the Lamb, and through the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their souls unto death.

“Now Is Come the Kingdom” comes first as the substance, but the word, “because,” places “And THEY have overcome him” as the cause, and thus as what is revealed first in the actions of time and appearance. We are the cause.

The Fourth Ruling Verse. This is the fourth ruling verse of the Bible, and as it increases in our focus, so it maintains as its equal the third ruling verse, rivers of Spirit – provide for the Church.

Now, as we were entering into the knowledge of God, that is, as Jesus was redeeming us, it was essential that we apply Revelation 12:11 to ourselves personally. And so my great battle through nine months in 2008, was against all the voices of cursing against myself in my own heavens. But then we discovered, once we were turned around, that the actions of Revelation 12:11 are actually for the sake of our Christian brethren, and thus are the fulfillment of 1 John 3:16, the Love that is God revealed now through us.

Reciprocity. We have also learned the wondrous reality of Reciprocity that is God, that having received from God all that He is, we learn of Him BEST by giving God to others. Giving God to others is the best way to learn God in us. Thus, as we exercise the actions of Revelation 12:11 for the sake of our brothers and sisters, the realities of God towards them become ever more our own reality. This is forever.

Thus we now see that the three actions of our faith for the sake of the Church correspond directly with the three Qualities of God coming through, in order. Blood – Salvation. Testimony – Power. Mercy – Kingdom.

The Jesus Secret Page. Now, I have an entire Jesus Secret page that I must succeed in filling by the end of this lesson. Thus I must set it out first to ensure that success. Our first box must be “The Accuser.” For that we will draw much from the last lesson. The next box will be “For Father’s Sake.” This box will be the Authority of Christ, but it places that authority entirely into a personal and real relationship with Father. Our final box will be titled “What We Do.” It will include three sub-headings, “How We See,” “How We Speak,” and “How We Love.” Everything in this page and the last, however, will be expanded significantly in the next two Jesus Secret pages.

The Three Tasks of Faith. Before we return to the accuser, let’s set out clearly our task, the JOB God has given us to do that changes all.

Our first task is to enclothe the Church of Jesus Christ with the Lord Jesus. We do that by how we SEE. – “When I SEE the Blood, I will pass over you.” This is protection. Our second task is to speak a New Word into the heavens all around the Church, that it might enter utterly into her, a Word that is Christ your only Life. This is provision. Our third task is to LOVE with the very Love that is God our Father, the Love of Jesus for the sake of His Bride. This is Mercy.

The Power of the Air. Out from the authority given to Adam, Satan rules the airways of the spirit, that is, he is the prince of the power of the air. The word, “devil,” means the accuser. Then the word, “Satan,” means the adversary. – As Jesus said, “[He] comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy.”

All humans come out from God’s thoughts through the good-speaking of Jesus, and all humans are sustained by that good-speaking every moment. Thus all humans carry an imprint of goodness or at least the shadow of goodness. Yet from the moment of conception, all humans exist inside a spirit-bath of accusation and cursing.

Before continuing, it would be helpful to define our terms.

Accusation. Accusation (Webster’s 1926): 1. Act or fact of being accused; arraignment. 2. That of which one is accused; the charge of an offense or crime, or the declaration containing the charge.

To Accuse (Webster’s 1926): 1. To charge with, or declare to have committed, a fault or offense; to blame, censure, to charge with an offense judiciously or by a public process. 3. To charge with the lack of.

Accuser (Webster’s 1926): One who accuses, especially in court, of a crime.

Notice that “accusation” has to do with legal proceedings – in the presence of God as Judge.

Curse. To Curse (Webster’s 1926): 1. To call upon divine or supernatural power to send injury upon; to imprecate evil upon; to execrate; to swear at. 3. To bring great evil upon; to be the cause of serious harm or unhappiness to; to furnish with that which will be a cause of deep trouble; to afflict or injure grievously; to harass or torment.

Curse (Webster’s 1926): 1. A prayer or invocation for harm or injury to come upon one; an imprecation; a malediction. 2. That which is cursed; an object of cursing. 3. Evil that comes as if in response to imprecation, or as retribution. 4. The cause of great harm, evil, or misfortune.

Cursed (Webster’s 1926): Being under a curse; damned.

Inside of These Voices. Okay, accusation is clearly a legal proceeding, a charge against our brothers and sisters in the presence of God as Judge, a charge that must be adjudicated legally. On the other hand, cursing is clearly a form of witchcraft, which we can now see is much simpler than ritualistic practice, it is no more than speaking words into the spiritual realms, words that will bring darkness and hurt. These two clearly go together, but accusation is the more serious, because of its legal and long-term consequences, whereas cursing is more felt and personal.

We have lived inside of these voices for most of our lives.

Hurt and Separation. Then we realize that cursing is what humans do in their place of authority as the river of sin and death; whereas accusation is what Satan and his demons do in an effort to convince us that we are in trouble with God. Cursing goes out to hurt other people, whereas accusation persuades us that we are separated from God.

Just as giving God to others results in our own increased knowledge of God, so cursing others results in our own increased sense of being cursed. And just as Satan comes to split-apart, that is, to kill, so Jesus comes to join together, that is, to give Life.

Come out of Her. Manipulating other people is a form of cursing and witchcraft, and yes, to successfully deceive another, or to make them do what you want, is a power of spirit. Satan is the servant, but he is also the deceiver. Man is the master, but he is also the deceived.

The point I am after is that this evil-twin combination, the wickedness of humans against God and the deceitfulness of the serpent against humans, RULES in the spiritual heavens as a bath of frequency in which all live. I was born again and filled with the Spirit; I heard His voice; I walked with God. – And I lived inside of this nightmare for years. – Come out of her, My people.

The Accuser. Paul said that Satan is the ruler of the realms of spirit in which all humans live, the powers of the air. He is called “the accuser” and “the adversary” because he fills the minds of Christians with “I am in trouble with God,” and “God is against me.” We have lived all our lives inside this bath of accusation in our heavens, even as Christians, and these voices impose themselves even on the Bible. The devil accuses, but humans curse, and human cursing also shapes the heavens in which all live. The human speaking of evil and unbelief is witchcraft, for it is anointed by demons in power. The call to “Come out of her my people,” to come out from this heavenly confusion, is spoken to a Church who cannot see the Tree of Life in which she already lives. But John tells us that the devil does not have the strength. As we speak Life and Blessing, as we speak, “Father with me for others,” accusation cannot remain in the Church.

Your Word above All. For You have magnified Your word above all Your name (Psalm 138:2). – Has God indeed said (Genesis 3:1). We must know that we cannot know the levels of pain caused inside of God when His Word, that He has placed above Himself, is challenged by contempt and deceit. Yet far greater than the pain are the levels of determination inside of God to prove His Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, to be faithful and True.

Most Christians fall back on the assumption that God will prove His Word true by outward demonstration, that is, by force, by making everyone obey automatically. This assumption is an even greater mockery of the Word.

It Is Impossible. Here is the central Word that is Jesus. – This is My full completion, that you love one another, reciprocally, in exactly the same way that I love you. How will such a Word be proven True? If God forced such love, if He just “made it happen,” how would that be proof that He always speaks the Truth?

It is impossible for God to prove Jesus faithful and True, as reciprocal Love inside His Church, except through faith. It is impossible for God to be vindicated except through faith. Apart from faith it is impossible for God (or us) to be satisfied (Hebrews 11:6).

Authority through Faith. The authority of Christ comes ONLY through faith, through our confident certainty that Jesus is our Life and that He is True in all that God speaks – without need for the sight of our eyes or our limited human judgment. Yet the authority of Christ is something that is deeply personal, it is found inside of a close, intimate, and deep union with the Father. It is knowing the Father, personally.

In John’s gospel, Jesus placed Himself continuously as with the Father in a personal knowing of One Another. Jesus’ authority came out from the Father having sent Him. Here are just a few of many such expressions.

The One Who Sent Me. My food is to do the desire of the One who sent Me, and to complete His work. – I am not able of Myself to do anything; even as I hear, so I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek my own desire, but the desire of the One who sent Me (John 4:34 & 5:30).

For I have come down out from heaven… that I should do …the desire of the One who sent Me. And this is the desire of the One who sent Me, that all that He has given Me, I should lose nothing of it… – I have not come of Myself, but the One who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. But I know Him, because I am alongside of Him, in His presence, and He sent Me (John 6:38-39 & 7:28-29).

The Father’s Business. Then we have this incredible statement. – Just as the Father sent Me forth, so I also send you (John 20:21). Our sending remains the same as Jesus’ sending, that is, a deep, intimate knowing of Father with us. Just as Jesus said, “I must be about My Father’s business.”

The Father’s business is to be KNOWN – that is, the Kingdom. Enabling others to know the Father is the business of our sending – that is, to give age-unfolding life. Inside of this great task we have ALL the authority bestowed upon the One whom God raised above all things. “This is My Son; hear Him.”

Personal and Real. If to be SENT OF GOD means putting on a show, then I must fail completely. But if to be sent of God means to enable others to know the Father, then I am sent of God. For this is the desire of My Father, that everyone seeing and experiencing the Son, and believing into Him, should have age-unfolding life – that is, should know the Father.

This is what we are doing. In the POWER of our warfare and our VICTORY, this is all we are doing, to impart the knowledge of God, that is, God-among-us as reciprocal Love, to all who receive Jesus Sent into them. For me, authority has to be simple, personal, and real, Father with me, even in the lowest places of human inability.

For Father’s Sake. The authority of Christ is the authority of One who is Sent and who thus lives for Father’s sake. Jesus’ relationship with the Father was personal and real. He moved in authority because His purpose was to make the Father known. Jesus sends us in that same purpose and authority, made exponential now by God having placed Jesus above all in triumph. As our own relationship with Father is personal and real, so we have the authority to make God known, that is, to love one another as Jesus. We act through faith for Father’s sake.

Through the Blood. And THEY have overcome him through the blood of the Lamb, and through the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their souls unto death. Out from our simple, personal, and real authority, for Father’s sake, we clear all demons out from the Church of Jesus Christ by three actions of faith, Jesus inside of us.

Our first task is to see all things THROUGH the Blood of the Lamb. This is the eye-salve for our eyes, the “contact lens,” one might say, for the blindness of human sight. Yet we are not interested in “all things” right now, but rather, our brethren, millions of believers upon the earth.

Trust the Blood. Consider that thought, “contact lens over blindness.” That is the meaning; we must TRUST the Blood.

I know from personal experience that speaking “the Blood” out loud has immediate effect on demons. They do not like it at all. Yet I also saw two failings in that practice. The first failing was to try to “convince the devil” with the blood, a subterfuge that only hid a lack of faith in the Blood in the person speaking. The second failing was to believe in the Blood towards the demons, but not actually towards the ones being prayed for.

Salvation Now Come. We are attempting to engage in a mighty war in the heavens, when, in fact, we cannot see anything. This makes me think of the blind warrior in the movie, Rogue One, a man who trusted in something other than sight. In our inability to see, which can be frightening at times, for people do and say terrible things that tear us to pieces, we trust utterly in the BLOOD, that, through the Blood, we see all things clearly.

It is through the Blood that we see a Church clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ, already just and innocent, already glorified inside of Jesus, regardless of any outward doing or speaking. – Salvation now come.

Through the Word. Seeing our brethren through the Blood, in utter trust in that Blood, will prove to be the mightiest weapon in the universe, driving the evil one far away from the Church. The Blood of Jesus mixed with the dirt of this earth is the tangible expression of Love towards us. “Rooted and grounded inside of Love” is the strength of our power.

Our second action of faith is the Word we speak. I cannot express the immense importance of that Word being pure. A pure Word carries our own human personality and expression, but it contains nothing of the accusation that God knows evil or that His Salvation is not already now.

Power Now Come. This Word of “Christ your only life” is the River of Spirit out from our hearts into the Church, and it carries with it everything that Church needs through her hour of trial.

The response of the people towards Jesus feeding the five thousand was the same as their response towards Moses on Mt. Sinai. – “You get what we need from God and give it to us. That way, we ourselves don’t need to believe into Him.”

POWER is not of us, and it’s not for us. This is the same as with Jesus. When power came through Him, He always directed the person to the Father, “This came out from your own faith in God.”

Loved Not Our Souls. Our job is not to be “the providers,” but rather, to connect people with God inside of them that God might share their lives and every step with them. God is power and abundance, and when He comes through them, all provision comes with Him as well.

Our third action of faith is to Love as God through us. I am now at complete peace with how John worded this action in his vision. – And they loved not their souls to the death. We have seen how critical it is to use the right definition for “thanatos/death” in context, for so much death comes from using the wrong definition of “death.”

Life for Others. The definition of “death” in this line is clearly the same as Jesus’ use of the word “dies” in John 12:24. If a grain of wheat planted into the ground…[dies], it bears much fruit. That grain placed into the ground is 100% wheat, 100% Christ, 100% LIFE, living and alive. The thought of “I am bad, and bad me must die” does not exist.

Jesus allowed God to put Him into the Church through this last 2,000 years, unseen and unknown, yet living as all. Specifically, Jesus traded His SOUL for us, that we might share His Person in all things towards God. – And we also. The word “death” in verse 11 means giving ourselves to God for others KNOWING that we are kept utterly inside of God.

Kingdom Now Come. This greatest of Love, this setting forth our souls for our brothers and sisters, means that we have positioned ourselves, here inside of God, in the absolute declaration that we will have all our brethren here with us, regardless. This is Mercy. It is the Throne, and it is Kingdom.

When we were still sinners, raging in all accusation against God and cursing ourselves and others, Jesus set forth His soul for us. And there, inside of Jesus, God made us His best friends forever, causing us to share Hheart with Him. Mercy does not mean “withholding punishment.” Mercy means placing this “despicable” person alongside of us, sharing the same heart with us, soul with soul.

The Essence of Meaning. Our purpose in this first limited space of Revelation 12:11 is to capture the essence of the meaning in each of these three actions of faith. I think we have done that.

The Blood to us means that we are utterly, utterly loved by God and that we dwell only inside of that Love. When we see our brethren through the Blood, in utter trust that the Blood is all, we open the Door for God to be Salvation. The Word of “Christ your only life,” the Word of our testimony, then means connecting others with God in them so that they need us no more. And we give our lives to God for their sake, that each one might be here with us inside of the Father.

What We Do. How We See: We see our brothers and sisters across the earth, all who call upon Jesus, through the precious Blood shed for us that we might live inside of Love. The Blood has made the Church pure already. We see through the Blood, trusting that the Blood is telling us the Truth, that our brethren live in All-Salvation now. As we see our brethren through the Blood, so we have opened the door to God, that Salvation might come out from substance and enter into appearance as a Church clothed with Jesus, bringing forth the knowledge of God into the knowledge of all.

How We Speak: We speak Christ Jesus as Life into our Christian brethren, every Word God speaks made personal as them. This is the Word of our testimony, that Jesus causes, sustains, and carries all inside His power-filled Word. As we speak Christ made personal, so the Spirit flows out as Rivers, placing the same harmonious Word into the hearts of many, singing the Song of the Lamb. As each member of the Church now sings in harmony with Father inside of them, so power, abundance, and provision flows out from heaven wide-open, out from our shared energeia, into the Christian experience in the hour of greatest need.

How We Love: We Love our brothers and sisters as God through us. We set forth our souls to the Father for their sake, just as Jesus did for us, that each one who believes into Jesus might be joined together with Father, here inside our hearts. As we live inside of Love, seated upon Blood, so we live, not for ourselves, but for others, that many might share the wonder of Jesus’ glory together with us. We say, in every moment and circumstance, in every next step we take, “Father, this is You sharing this step with me, that our travail together might be for the sake of Your people, that they also might share this beautiful Life with us.” As we Love with Father’s Love, so God Himself enters into creation, the Kingdom now come.

We Can Do This. I am a man who is limited and incapable in so many ways. I have failed in every outward way. Yet I CAN do these three actions of faith in simple joy, and never find myself “trying” to do something of myself. I do these three things entirely inside of Jesus my only Life, and always together with my Father. This is a simple exercise, translating our own entrance into God into the entrance of our brethren, and it is what we have been doing together right from the start.

We now know that the accuser is running out of strength inside the Church and is facing imminent expulsion.

Reading for Next Time. The next lesson is titled, “We Protect the Church.” This is a parallel page with the one following, “We Provide for the Church.” These two lessons will bring in all the other points from Revelation 12 that bear on this unfolding reality. So, read all of Revelation 12 a couple of times in the JSV.

“Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you filled with great fury, knowing that he has only a brief time.” When the dragon perceived that he had been thrown down to the earth, he hunted down the woman who had brought forth the male child, to persecute her. And the two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman so that she could fly into her place…

Let’s Pray Together. “God, our Father, You have sent us into this world that we might enable Your People to know You, the One True God, through knowing Jesus Sent into them. And Father, You have placed inside of us the Lord Jesus, unlimited authority above all the heavens, and made us part of Him and He part of us together.

“We now know, Oh God, that Your enemy, the one who accused Your Word of falseness, has NO MORE strength. Yet in his failure, he is putting on one final show, a show that means nothing. Father, we speak Your words into the heavens, Your Kingdom now come.

“Inside of the name of Jesus, we see our Christian brethren through the Blood shed for us, through the Salvation in which we dwell. We trust that Blood, that it shows us the truth, a Church without spot, regardless of appearance.

“Inside of the name of Jesus, we speak Christ your only life into all who call upon Your name. We speak Christ made personal as you; we speak Christ sustaining all. As each one connects with You, Father, so all provision flows out from Christ inside of them.

“Inside of the name of Jesus, we give ourselves to You, Father, that You share our souls with us, that Your people might dwell inside of You, here within our hearts. All darkness flees, for Your Kingdom arises now upon all.”
