Discerning
Second Heaven Revelations and Making The Darkness
Manifest 6/06/09
THOSE WHO ARE SENT AS SPIES
I have been thinking about the pros and cons of
revealing the demonic plans to the church. Bob Jones
often receives revelations from the Lord of what is
demonic intent and he sends them as warnings. When I
heed them, I have found them to be helpful, and pits to
avoid. One revelation of the enemy’s purpose kept me
from making the same mistake for the entire year of that
shepherd’s rod. It was a valuable piece of information
and I experienced the importance of such a warning.
However when Bob sees these things, they are given to
him from the Lord and not from the enemy.
God gives us dreams to withdraw us from our deeds.
Job 33:14-18 NKJV
For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man
does not perceive it. 15 In a dream , in a vision of
the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While
slumbering on their beds, 16 Then He opens the ears of
men, And seals their instruction. 17 In order to turn
man from his deed, And conceal pride from man, 18 He
keeps back his soul from the Pit, And his life from
perishing by the sword.
I remember hearing Bob share a part of his testimony
from his early days of training as a prophet. He
prophesied judgments and other negative things. He
became broken through the process and told the Lord he
didn’t want to be a prophet anymore, because when he
delivered the words, people died. He then learned the
lesson that prophets have to be careful about what they
prophesy, because like many of the OT prophets, the
prophet himself has to live through what he prophesies.
The realization of this, changes a prophet’s heart to
deliver the same messages tuned to God’s heart for their
repentance, forgiveness and mercy.

UPDATE CONFIRMATION
QUOTE: PAUL KEITH MENTIONS EXPOSING ENEMY PLANS
6/07/09
“The first step in overcoming the designs of the enemy
is to bring them out of darkness and obscurity into
light. The enemy hates for his plans to be exposed. This
was explicitly demonstrated in 2 Kings 6:11-12. By
obtaining a clear comprehension of his schemes we are
more amply able to fortify ourselves through the Word of
Truth and appropriate it through prayer and
proclamation.”
2 Kings 6:8-23 NLT
When the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he
would confer with his officers and say, "We will
mobilize our forces at such and such a place." 9 But
immediately Elisha, the man of God, would warn the king
of Israel, "Do not go near that place, for the Arameans
are planning to mobilize their troops there." 10 So the
king of Israel would send word to the place indicated by
the man of God, warning the people there to be on their
guard. This happened several times. 11 The king of Aram
became very upset over this. He called in his officers
and demanded, "Which of you is the traitor? Who has been
informing the king of Israel of my plans?" 12 "It's not
us, my lord," one of the officers replied.
"Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel
even the words you speak in the privacy of your
bedroom!" 13 The king commanded, "Go and find
out where Elisha is, and we will send troops to seize
him." And the report came back: "Elisha is at Dothan."
14 So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with
many chariots and horses to surround the city. 15 When
the servant of the man of God got up early the next
morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and
chariots everywhere. "Ah, my lord, what will we do now?"
he cried out to Elisha. 16 "Don't be afraid!" Elisha
told him. "For there are more on our side than on
theirs!" 17 Then Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes
and let him see!" The LORD opened his servant's eyes,
and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around
Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. 18
As the Aramean army advanced toward them, Elisha prayed,
"O LORD, please make them blind." And the LORD did as
Elisha asked. 19 Then Elisha went out and told them,
"You have come the wrong way! This isn't the right city!
Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are
looking for." And he led them to Samaria. 20 As soon as
they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed, "O LORD, now
open their eyes and let them see." And the LORD did, and
they discovered that they were in Samaria. 21 When the
king of Israel saw them, he shouted to Elisha, "My
father, should I kill them?" 22 "Of course not!" Elisha
told him. "Do we kill prisoners of war? Give them food
and drink and send them home again to their master." 23
So the king made a great feast for them and then sent
them home to their king. After that, the Aramean raiders
stayed away from the land of Israel.
NO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE ACTS OF DARKNESS
The Lord tells us to expose darkness, but not to have
fellowship with it. I read this in application to
listening to second heaven revelations.
Eph 5:8-18 NKJV
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in
the Lord. Walk as children of light 9(for the fruit of
the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and
truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship {#4790} with the
unfruitful works {# 2041} of darkness, but rather expose
them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those
things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all
things that are exposed are made manifest by the light,
for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He
says: "Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and
Christ will give you light." See then that you walk
circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming
the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do
not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord
is.
FELLOWSHIP - GREEK
sugkoinoneo
NT:4790 sugkoinoneo (soong-koy-no-neh'-o); from NT:4862
and NT:2841; to share in company with, i.e.
co-participate in:
KJV - communicate (have fellowship) with, be partaker
of.
NT:2841
NT:2841 koinoneo (koy-no-neh'-o); from NT:2844; to share
with others (objectively or subjectively):
KJV - communicate, distribute, be partaker.
WORKS - GREEK
NT:2041
NT:2041 ergon (er'-gon); from a primary (but obsolete)
ergo (to work); toil (as an effort or occupation); by
implication, an act:
KJV - deed, doing, labour, work.
When the Lord’s light exposes the deeds of darkness, He
does so as an alarm or warning to wake up those who are
spiritually asleep. He shines His light upon the
darkness so that His people will not be fools, but
rather be wise with understanding as to His will.
However in doing so, we are not to have fellowship with
what is exposed. We are not to listen to, share the
company of, participate, or communicate with the demonic
spirit world to know their plans. Neither are we to
distribute or be partaker of their deeds or works of
intent.
THE FRUIT OF NEGATIVE FAITH
In all of these
cases when demonic plans are announced, it is our
position to stand against them, bind, rebuke and resist
them so they don’t come to pass. If we simply receive
them as truth, that the bad news will come to pass, our
faith keeps the door open for these bad things to build
and prosper.
The power behind the 2nd heaven revelations
produces the fruit of unrest, lack of peace, anxiety,
fear, and distracted focus. The enemy loves to distract
us with bad news, intimidation, dread and anything that
is the opposite of the GOOD NEWS. The Lord is Good, and
it is very easy to discern between the difference
between His Good Word (which offers a way out) and the
demonic words (which dump bad news in our lap (which
produces hopelessness.)
Ps 96:2-4 NKJV
Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good
news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His
glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is
to be feared above all gods.
Isa 52:7-9 NKJV
How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him
who brings good news , Who proclaims peace, Who brings
glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" Your watchmen
shall lift up their voices, With their voices they shall
sing together; For they shall see eye to eye When the
LORD brings back Zion. Break forth into joy, sing
together, You waste places of Jerusalem! For the LORD
has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.
It is a very difficult and fine line to learn how to
resist revelations from the second heaven, which is
where the principalities dwell. This is where the
psychics get their revelations.
John 3:19-21 NKJV
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come
into the world, and men loved darkness rather than
light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone
practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the
light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who
does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be
clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
1 Cor 4:4-5 NKJV
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the
Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden
things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the
hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God.
1 John 3:8-9 NKJV
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested , that
He might destroy the works of the devil.

PRAYER: Lord help us to learn the fine cutting
edge of discerning between hearing second heaven
revelations and hearing Your pure Word. Grants us an
increase of Your light and gifts to discern the
difference between strong meat, prophesy, spirits and
fruit. In so doing, we pray that our faith will not
fall, but rather we would be strengthened as we separate
ourselves from the demonic world. In Jesus holy Name.
amen. |
