THE COUNTER REVOLUTIONISTS
All of us who work for Christ against Lucifer are the counter revolutionists. There is a spiritual war going on, and the brothers, Christ and Lucifer are the leaders.
Lucifer and most of us revolted against God and Christ, and were sent away from Heaven, but many of us have repented and changed sides, and we are now joined by many spirits who have never fallen, to wage war against the revolutionary movement of Lucifer and his kind.
When the thousand years of Christ’s rule are here, a great many more spirits will progress at a rapid speed, since there will be no one to impede their progress, no one to prevent anyone from doing good works, including assisting others to grow spiritually. This will be a time like no other. The backlog of spirits awaiting their salvation will be eased, and Heaven will receive hundreds of thousands of newcomers who will now be ready to progress in the heavenly spheres.
After the thousand years when Lucifer is released once more, he will not have the same power over mankind as he once had, because the momentum of the progressing spirits will be difficult to stop or slow down, and Christ will win in the end.
THE POWER WITHIN
Different groups speak of the power within and ask that we acknowledge it and accept it, and honor it. What power? We are only creations of God and all power comes from Him, of ourselves, we are nothing. Any power that we use to do anything is first given to us by God. To worship our own power is to make ourselves equal to God and there are some who believe that they can achieve that also., what folly, what vanity. We are the fallen sprits; we have become as man by a circuitous route where some of our previous lives were of that of a worm or other insect. Now that we have regained some of our intellect we have become puffed up and filled with our own pride.
The day will come when we finally arrive to a state of intellect as we come closer to God that we will be astonished at how insignificant we are, and how we are nothing without God’s love and power.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
There are many things of God that we do not understand; the very nature of God is incomprehensible to us because we are not capable of understanding even if someone tried to explain to us.
But there are many truths that we could understand if we were to open to hearing them. Jesus promised that he would send his messengers or holy spirits or angels to tell us of things that in his day the people were not ready for. One of these truths was the explanation of the plan of salvation, since it had not been completed and could not be until Christ after his earthly death could descend into hell and battle with Lucifer and win our freedom from the prince of death.
Today the majority of the people are not open to hearing anything new, their minds remain closed, they would rather play at the game of earthly life like a child who does not want to be disturbed while at play in order to learn anything that would help him grow up. Most people on earth also do not want to grow up spiritually, and so they close their minds to anything that may interrupt their game of life without considering that there are a whole host of truths available to them if they would only allow God’s spirits to inform them.
