Know Your Spiritual World by K254725: 2:51pm On Oct 26, 2020
Ephesians 6:12 refers to a spiritual world made of:

-Principalities
-Powers
-Rulers

Principalities

Principalities refer to areas of jurisdiction, as with the english use of that word. It also refers to spirits that are princes ... The second highest level after Kings...

Just as in a kingdom, these are high ranking Angels that control massive territory ...

Remember the fallen Angels of Genesis 6? They further are ranked according to their powers and rule. The greatest of them are Kings. These are the Kings referred to in Daniel chapter 7 onwards.

Remember principality would equally refer to an area of influence under one spirit. Africa for example is a principality, just as the Americas, etc.

"The earth is under the seat of the wicked one". That's the Kingdom offered to Christ by the "devil" during the start of his ministry ...



6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians

Powers
There are powers of darkness and powers of light.
The powers of darkness focus on stealing, killing, destruction. (The thief comes not, but to steal, kill, destroy) Whatever devil you are dealing with - that's the ultimate focus.

If you read ancient texts, you would find different gods of the day were assigned specific powers, e.g fertility, anger, pestilence, etc. Power is the medium through which men relate with each other (love/hate, joy/anger, peace/fear/(anxiety), righteousness/vileness ....etc

These powers are so pervasive that they are actually a force that has to be kept at Bay or indulged. The negative ones are the powers of darkness. The positive are powers of God or of light. When Christ sent his disciples to preach, he told them to look for the sons of light. Or the sons of peace.

A power can also refer to an actual angel because they have power coming off them.


24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: Matthew

Rulers
Rulers are lower than princes. Remember the princes mixed themselves with men, who were a lower rank in the Kingdom (of darkness). This gave birth to a caste that was somewhere between the Angelic Princes and men. The rulers.

6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Genesis

So when referring to rulers, were referring to great kings too, not of the rank of the princes but great anyway. Because they came from men, they were bound to the earth just like men. They were sons of disobedience concerning which the word says, "their imagination was continually evil..."

Most of the stories of the ancient kingdoms concerning men who were half gods refer to these rulers. They are more common in the spiritual life of men, are more likely to interact in dreams, etc. The book of Jasher, referred to in the bible had details of Kings like Nimrod who were powerful but evil ... Indian mythology have kings who were part animal, etc Some tribes still insist they came from an animal, like the Chinese and their dragon myth. Some African tribes swear they came from some wild animal. Others straight from the starts. Now you know why.

2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. Psalm

For a discussion of rulers ... We have to venture into Enoch...

The Rulers of Enoch

Enoch tries to describe the character of the rulers

Like I previously said, we interact with rulers more than with princes. Let's see what our father Enoch left behind concerning these guys:

-The children of the Angels with men are what we call demons...



15 HANOCH - ENOCH15

15:8 “But now the giants who are born from the union of the spirits and the flesh shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, because their dwelling shall be upon the earth and inside the earth.” 15:9 “Evil spirits have come out of their bodies. Because from the day that they were created from the kodesh ones they became the Watchers; their first origin is the spiritual foundation. They will become evil upon the earth and shall be called evil spirits.” 15:10 “The dwelling of the spiritual beings of heaven is heaven; but the dwelling of the spirits of the earth, which are born upon the earth, is in the earth.” 15:11 “The spirits of the giants oppress each other; they will corrupt, fall, be excited, and fall upon the earth, and cause sorrow. They eat no food, nor become thirsty, nor find obstacles.” 15:12 “And these spirits shall rise up against the children of the people and against the women, because they have proceeded forth from them.”

From book of Enoch with Yahweh's name Restored

Have you ever wondered why demons are so entitled? Stubborn? They are from men ... Stuck here on earth untill their judgement ...

The Concept of Spiritual Attack

Where to start grin

This can be anything in the entire range of powers of darkness.

It can be the transfer of low vibration scale kind of feelings (like anxiety, depression, deep hate, etc)

It can also be creation of a bond between your soul and the demon. These bonds are like the bond between magnet, where the two souls have a power that pulling them to each other (there is alot of talk about what people refer to as spiritual spouses. These are demons that form this kind of magnetic bond.

Remember we're all energy. Same way the earth is locked within the solar system and within the galaxy, and other planets, it's the same power that lives inside our spirits. Because we came from the earth.

Demons can also work through our family, workmates, church mates, neighbours etc by creating conflict, anxiety, and softening the heart for influx of the lower vibration feelings.

Christians are NOT immune to demonic attacks. Remember Enoch calling them watchers? That's because they are rulers. Have places of authority in your life including in form of some people in your life in positions of authority. They are always watching for mistakes in order to bring accusation and punish. They make false accusations too, but you'd rather a false one than a true one. Because rulers have no mercy by they nature as sons of darkness ...


1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. Job

Ancestral Worship and Our Checkered Past

Even the nation of Israel failed to keep it's bloodlines pure. Even Christ had a Caananite in his bloodline ... Remember they were afraid because the caananites were so huge that "... they seem like grasshoppers ... "


3:5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:3:6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. Judges


No wonder they crucified him ...

There is one of these giants in every body's / or most people's ancestral lineage. Before you get to Noah, I bet you one of your ancestral giants will be feasting on your offerings grin in your misguided ancestral worship. That makes it worship of demons ...

You're worshipping these guys:


. 7:3 These giants consumed the produce of all the people until the people detested feeding them. 7:4 So the giants turned against the people in order to eat them. 7:5 And they began to sin against birds, wild beasts, reptiles, and fish. And their flesh was devoured the one by the other, and they drank blood. 7:6 And then the earth brought an accusation against the oppressors

Chapter 7, Enoch with Yahweh's name Restored.


They don't sound philanthropic enough for me to call on them so you won't find me around the ancestral worship places lipsrsealed

Demons and Dreams
The clearest explanation of the connection between the two will be found in a few ancient scripts.

Most of the happenings in demonic dreams is usually wizardry. Rulers are the experts of wizardry. No wonder it is written that disobedience is the sin of witchcraft. These are sons of disobedience ... And everything they do in their interaction with men can be called witchcraft.

For example. You "dream" that your "relative" is making food and serving you. grin You eat! Afterwards, the dream changes to a scene where something you don't like is happening and guess what? You can't speak out what your spirit wants to say...! I call that dream food Rulers' "meat." It is a kind of ritual that they do to take away your power, your voice in this instance.

The bible tries to warn us of this ... (Am saying it tries because there is a continued assault against the supernatural elements of the bible). Am suspecting the pre-constantine scripture had more insight. Anyway, speaking of ruler's meat;


23:6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
23:8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. Proverbs

The scripture is self explanatory. Those who have ears will hear.

Note:When these evil spirits are access a christian in a dream this way, it is usually an indication of a broken shield. We live within a spiritual shield that is usually sensitive to the condition of our soul (e.g if you're suffering from anxiety, these dreams will likely increase). So it's usually necessary to continually ensure the shield remains up. And works of righteousness (that flow from within) keep it up.

Remember ... Rulers are watchers! Evey breach in the shield of righteousness will be exploited!! Mercilessly.

They ALL multiplied
So let's have a look at the populations of the earth ...

From Genesis 6:11, I see at least 3:
1. Adam and Eve (humans/men)
2. Fallen Angels (those that descended)
3. Giants (in those days there were giants (I don't know, maybe genetic manipulated beings? undecided )
4. Giants II (Children of giants and men aka watchers/rulers)

(As bolded below)


6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Genesis


*We know some men got in the ark
*Angels ... Of course you don't kill Angels with floods grin
*Giants 1 ... NOT sure they were Killed like the remaining men (or if they had the genetics and mortality of men in them)
*Giants II ... Killed. Spirits stayed on (but we see their children in Canaan later, so I guess the fallen Angels replaced their children? Or Noah had one! )

David certainly has an encounter with rulers and princes "of the earth..."

When reading scripture, always have in mind that these are all dwellers of the earth. God speaks to all these groups.

Babylon
Remember the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar interpreted Daniel? That was the great spiritual Kingdom of the Earth.

And Babylon has and end ...

18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Revelation

This is a spiritual Kingdom ...
