Lesson 11
Lucifer’s Allies Pt 2
by Lawrence Demetrius
Lucifer's most subtitle allies are antichrists who present themselves as believers of the Christian faith, and plant themselves within Christian assemblies as devout leaders. After Jesus Christ fulfilled His mission and established His Church on earth, He gave GIFTS thereto in the form of ministerial offices. These gifts were given to nurture born-again believers to full spiritual maturity. Apostle Paul writes,
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
[Eph 4:7]
*grace Gk #5485 charis (khar-ece) it is…
1. graciousness, as gratifying of manner and act
2. divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in the life
3. gratitude
This CHARIS (khar-ece) or GRACE is something Jesus Christ imparts to each member of His Church or Body, and gratifies Himself thereby. He gives each member a portion of all that He is and possesses per His FATHER. Thus, that which is in Jesus Christ flows through each of His brethren, and is expressed through the GIFTS He gave to them.
*measure Gk #3358 metron (met-ron) it is a measure, limited portion, and degree
* gift Gk #1431 dorea (do-reh-ah) it is a gratuity or thing given without claim or demand
The MEASURE and GIFT referred to in this passage, is that which Yahweh has given unto Jesus Christ, Who in turn distributes it IN PORTIONS to each of His brethren on earth. In short, all that Yahweh has imparted to Christ, is available to His brethren per their oneness with HIM through Christ.
The Lord Jesus prayed,
That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.
And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one.
I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and has loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.
[Jn 17:21-23]
Thus, all power in heaven and earth given unto Christ from Yahweh, flows through each of His disciples. Jesus Christ said,
All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
[Mt 28:18]
Concerning His Church and the power thereof, Christ Jesus said,
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
[Mt 16:18, 19]
Concerning the productivity of them who believe in Christ, He said,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.
[Jn 14:12]
It is why Apostle John notes, concerning those who are made perfect in divine love, that as God in Christ is, so are they in this world.
He writes,
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is <Yahweh in Christ>, so are we in this world
[I Jn 4:17]
Apostle Paul writes,
To wit <or understand>, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and have given unto us the ministry of reconciliation.
[II Cor 5:19]
Every member of the Body of Jesus Christ must know and understand the degree of Christ, His power and His servitude He imparts unto them and walk therein. They must never permit another to make them feel insignificant to The Ministry Divine Iconoclasm, because all brethren of Jesus Christ are significant to Him and His ministry. Every one of them is given CHARICE or GRACE, according to the MEASURE of His Own GIFTS. When encountered by such opposition, they are to believe the word of THE LORD concerning this, and shun such opposition, as HIS word is the only one that matters anyway. Per Apostle Paul, Christ gave His brethren GIFTS when He led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE. He writes,
Wherefore he saith, When He ascended up on high, He <Christ> led captivity captive…
[Eph 4:8a]
*captivity Gk #161 aichmalosia (aheekh-mal-o-see-ah) it is captivity, which is the state or period of being held, imprisoned, enslaved and confined
The very STATE OF BEING HELD, IMPRISONED, ENSLAVED and CONFINED to Lucifer's influence, is what Christ demolished per His finished work at Calvary for all mortals, namely those who are predestined to become His brethren.
*captive Gk #162 aichmaloteuo (aheekh-mal-o-tew-o) it means to capture, which is to take by force, stratagem, prisoner, seize, gain control of, exert influence over and to take possession of
This is what Christ did to Lucifer’s influence in the minds of His brethren. While Lucifer maintains his influence in the minds of those who reject Jesus Christ, he no longer has the legal right to exercise his influence in the minds of those who by faith, receive Jesus Christ as Lord. Apostle Paul writes,
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[Rm 10:8-10]
Apostle John writes,
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil, sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
[l Jn 3:8]
Apostle Paul continues his statement writing,
…and gave gifts unto men.
[Eph 4:8b]
*gifts Gk #1390 doma (dom-ah) it is a present and it is a thing presented as a gift
Apostle Paul writes,
(Now that He <Christ> ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
[Eph 4:9]
So then, Christ went down into Sheol the underworld, as Enoch vividly details in Chapter 22 of his writing, The Book of Enoch 1.
Apostle Paul continues to write,
He <Christ> that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.
[Eph 4:10]
In The Book of Enoch 1, Enoch, the prophet and first official scribe of Yahweh, writes about the seven heavens that exist above the earth realm, wherein dwell angelic beings, also known as the children of heaven. He writes,
And in that place mine <Enoch’s> eyes saw the Elect One of righteousness and of faith <Christ> and I saw His dwelling-place under the wings of The Lord Of Spirits <Yahweh>.
[Eno 39:9]
The Lord Jesus confirming said,
Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
[Jn 8:23]
When Jesus Christ fulfilled His mission on earth, He returned to His dwelling place far above the seven heavens, after He descended into Sheol the underworld and after leaving GIFTS with His brethren on earth. Again, these GIFTS are portions of His Own servitude and power, that were given to Him by Yahweh, His FATHER. Apostle Paul writes,
And He gave some apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
[Eph 4:11]
*apostles Gk #652 apostolos (ap-os-tol-os) it is a…
1. delegate, specifically an ambassador of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
2. official commissioner of Jesus Christ who possesses miraculous powers
3. messenger of Jesus Christ and one who is sent by Yahweh
*prophets Gk #4396 prophetes (prof-ay-tace) it is a foreteller, divinely inspired speaker and poet
*evangelists Gk #2099 euaggelelistes (yoo-ang-ghel-is-tace) it is a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
*pastors Gk #4166 poimen (poy-mane) it is a shepherd
*teachers Gk #1320 didaskalos (did-as-kal-os) it is an instructor, doctor and master teacher
Apostle Paul continues his statement and clarifies the purpose for these divine GIFTS writing,
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ:
[Eph 4:12]
All these GIFTS were given by Christ Jesus to benefit His brethren, Body and Church on earth. Yahweh worshippers must remain watchful, as the most subtle of Lucifer's Allies seek to plant themselves within Christian assemblies, in these ministerial offices. They seek these high seats of influence within Christian assemblies, so they can more efficiently propagate erroneous Christian doctrines. Jesus Christ likens them to wolves in sheep's clothing. He said,
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[Mt 7:15]
Apostle Paul coins them as ministers of Lucifer feigning as ministers of light. He writes,
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
[II Cor 11:13-15]
These deceivers are extremely toxic because they are perceived and readily received by the general public as reverent witnesses of Jesus Christ. They have tremendous ability to lead many souls into iniquity unawares. Ironically, they can be quite charismatic in preaching, teaching, prophesying with accuracy, and may even cast out unclean spirits in the Name of Jesus Christ Who said,
Not everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord <or that professes Him as their Lord>, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doeth, the will of My Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? and in Thy Name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, Ye that work iniquity.
[Mt 7:21-23]
In spite of their workings, Christ still considers them workers of iniquity because of their innate spiritual nature and character as children of Lucifer. Souls who are caught in their webs of seduction are fed lies, fleeced for money, used as objects of pacification, led into various practices of idolatry, sorcery, witchcraft and consequences thereof. Prophet Hosea writes.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou <the designated teacher> has rejected <put off teaching divine> knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest <or teacher> to ME <Yahweh>: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children <who will walk in darkness for lack of divine light or divine insight>.
[Hos 4:6]
The Lord Jesus said,
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
[Mt 24:24]
The most infamous devil famed as a FRIEND of Jesus Christ is Judas Iscariot. He like the other Original Apostles of Christ, was called, chosen, anointed and appointed to proclaim the divine gospel. He like the other Original Apostles of Christ healed sicknesses, cured diseases, and casted out unclean spirits. Yet, despite his personal experience with Jesus Christ, he became a devil with enticement of filthy lucre. His betrayal of Jesus Christ reiterates that rank and CHARISMA do not validate one's innate spiritual nature and character, or their immunity to temptation and sin. It is important to note that Lucifer’s Allies are all devils, which consists of mortal and immortal beings who wholeheartedly serve him as their father, master and god.
