Satan’s Systems Verses God’s System
Satan’s Mammon system of increase is what he wants to establish on the Earth as the only way to be blessed.
If Satan can establish in the Earth that God must use Satan’s system of the Mammon of the world to buy and sell for God’s system of giving to work -- then Satan can establish in Creation that his system is better than God’s. Since men’s choices determine which system will be used in the world -- if Satan can deceive men in choosing his system over God’s -- then the Kingdom of God won’t be able to be manifested. Therefore -- Satan would claim that he is greater than God in his choice of systems to live by.
Satan knows that he can’t get rid of God. But he thinks he could make God yield control to him -- if he could make God have to use his system of buying and selling (the Mammon of the world) to get blessed.
So far Satan has deceived the Christians of the world into believing that they have to sell the anointings that God has given us -- in order to get the message of the Kingdom out to the peoples of the world.
Satan’s claim to God is that -- before God can bless Creation -- He must go through Satan’s system. So far the Church has operated under that deception.
You see -- there is a Kingdom Truth that Satan knows. It says that: If a clean thing touches an unclean thing -- then both things are unclean. Buying and selling using the Mammon of the world is an unclean system. If the Lord would use it to spread the Gospel -- then the Gospel would become unclean.
It’s the same principle that Satan used to defile the original Alpha Kingdom. Satan was a part of that Creation and so -- when he believed The Lie and acted on it -- Creation became unclean or defiled: An unclean thing had touched a clean thing and they both became unclean.
That plan doesn’t work any more because Satan isn’t a part of the new Kingdom of God and so -- to defile it -- Satan has to make man fall for The Lie of blessings by buying and selling. God has His own system to be blessed -- It’s called: “Blessings by Inheritance.”
In order for God to establish blessings by inheritance -- He must find people that believe that He blesses that way -- and that they live that way. Abraham is such a man and because he believed that and lived that way -- he is called the father of those that believe The Truth.
The Lord is looking for men that won’t use Satan’s system of buying and selling to establish blessings by inheritance. If the Lord can find such men and women -- He can use them as seed to sow into the Universe to establish His Kingdom.
First -- we are born again. Then -- God places His Kingdom within us. Then -- He drives out the money changers. That means -- the Lord drives out that deception that we need the Mammon system of the world to follow the Lord and do His will. That is the first thing the Lord does in establishing His Manna system for our lives.
Buying and selling the anointing is called merchandising the anointing. Using the anointing to get gain. Using buying and selling and then -- storing up.
Right after we are saved the Lord makes a promise to us of blessings by inheritance. As I think back now to my salvation experience; How could I agree to forsake the world systems of living unless I understood that the Lord would use His system of blessings by inheritance to sustain me?
That is the first thing that God said to Abraham when God told him to leave Ur -- a type of leaving the world systems behind -- God said to Abraham -- I will bless you and multiply you. With that understanding in place -- Abraham left Ur with that confidence that God was the only supply he needed.
With that understanding of God’s supply for every need -- the first time Abraham needed something he looked to God to supply it and he looked with complete confidence that God would answer.
Why did he believe so strongly that God was his supply. Because that was the agreement. God said: If you will leave Ur and come with Me and let Me be your God -- I will be your supply. Well -- Abraham left Ur so -- from then on -- God would have to bless him or God would be a liar. Abraham knew that wasn’t possible and so -- he had every confidence that God would do as He had promised.
Sarah held Abraham’s promise of a son within her body. Yet -- Abraham would let her be defiled before he would use Satan’s system to protect her by his own strength. (Gen 20:2)
Then -- after he got Isaac he would let him die -- if God so demanded -- because he wouldn’t use his own strength to protect him.
Abraham’s purpose was to establish God as God above all else. Then -- the Lord waits to see if we will let our Isaac (His promise to bless us) die before we will use the Devil’s system to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. If we won’t wait -- we don’t believe that God will keep His Word. If we try to do the calling of God by our own methods -- we are not worthy of that calling and so -- we fail in all of our activity that is based on self-rule.
All men are sons of the Earth or connected to the Earth by their natural birth into a dirt body. We all start out that way. Our body is what identifies us as sons of the Earth. Then -- we become sons of the Kingdom by calling on Jesus as Lord to save us. Our souls identify us as sons of the Kingdom. That is who we are when we make Jesus Lord over us. Then -- we are sons of the King -- if we know Him as our Lord above all else -- He is our Father and our spirit-man identifies us as sons of God our Father.
If we live by the spirit -- we live by inheritance. Our spirit-man is in touch with our Father and we listen to him as he tells us what the will of the Father is -- because the Spirit of God witnesses with our spirit that we are sons of God.
If we live by our soul and body -- we swing back and forth between Kingdom of God principles of blessings by inheritance -- and blessings by buying and selling accumulating the Mammon of the world systems.
If the body is in control -- we live by buying and selling and have received the Mark of that Beast system in our minds and hands to be blessed; We are preoccupied with the accumulation of wealth for our future.
If the soul is trying to control the body -- we talk Kingdom of God principles while -- at the same time -- we are buying and selling to be blessed.
If the spirit-man is in control -- we live by inheritance. We -- as the sons of God -- are called to live by inheritance.
The body of Christ is in the place of waiting in the Ark for the Lord to say: Come out onto the water with Me. If we go before the Lord calls us -- we will sink; If we wait patiently -- we will walk on the water with Jesus as Lord over us -- doing many mighty works for the establishing of the Kingdom of God on the Earth in this day.
(Psa 40:1 KJV) To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
(Psa 40:2 KJV) He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
(Psa 40:3 KJV) And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
(Heb 6:13 KJV) For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
(Heb 6:14 KJV) Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
(Heb 6:15 KJV) And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise
