I was recently privileged to read a young mans book (written from his heart and not yet published) and believe me he is "On Fire" for God in this book. I was so inspired by his writings but most importantly very blessed. There was a section in the book that really caught me in amazement. Not by what he said as much as how he said it. Its actually something God has been teaching me in my life in the last few months. So you can say it hit home in my heart and that's probably why I related to it. I'm going to write it here to share it with y'all. He starts the page out with quoting scripture and then adding his words afterwards.

Scripture: Matthew 28:18And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth".

Jonathan's words: That means he has the power over everything. David said in Psalm 62:11Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;

Jonathan's words: Satan has NO power! People have power through Christ . People have dominion over the earth through Christ . People decide whats to be done in the earth through Christ . People decide whats to be done in the world through Christ . Adam and Eve decided to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil., because the devil (serpent) enticed them. We give the devil too much credit for whats wrong in the world, when we have the power to change everything through Christ . Satan has no power and no where to get it except from sinners. People today are diluted or in a state of delusion.

Proverbs 2:21,22 says: For the upright will live in the land And the blameless will remain in it; But the wicked will be cut off from the land And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.

Jonathan's words: Where do you suppose Satan will go when this happens to its fullest extent? Why the bottomless pit of course - fire. Satan today unfortunately has gotten a whole lot of lies circulating the earth, and we, the people are helping him. So who needs a superman? WE DO! Thank God we have one; the man Christ Jesus. but many people rather than believe Christ Jesus and his testimony would rather believe the lies. The bible says we shall be damned if we do believe and follow his lies.

II Thessalonian 2: 11,12: For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

Jonathan's words: We need to find the source of Satan's lies and cut it off. Because believe me we do have the power to do it through Christ , Satan doesn't. I believe Satan shall be cut off from this earth. They don't want him in heaven so they threw him out. We don't want him here so lets throw him off this planet; for as soon as we do look what will happen to him. I'm ready for the abundance of peace for every man, how about you?

Revelation 20: 1-3: Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time. Jonathan's words: I looked up the word delusion; Websters described it as something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated. A second description is; A persistent false psychotic belief, regarding self or objects outside of self. Sp people would be strongly diluted. This I believe has always been the case for the wicked. They want to believe that they can escape judgement and they actually can but ONLY by the blood of the lamb.

Jesus said in John 16:8: "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

Jonathan's words: That's Satan, he's the loser, why join him? There are many today who believe falsely that they can get off the ride with Satan, and then later, when they grow older and are done doing what they wanted to do in their life, can be saved and go to heaven. Yes, its true some do but many don't. But remember this ...

Jesus said in Matthew 7:21: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. We must also remember though that no one will enter the gates of heaven except through Christ Jesus. This is not for good works but for believing in him, following him, and trying to be like him (Christ-Like).

Ephesians 2:8,9: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

I think what Jonathan is trying to tell us is that we have the power through Christ to change the world. All we need to do is Pray, Read our Bibles, accept the Gifts given to us by our heavenly father, and start working. We have the gift to "Cast down" the demons of this world into silence. We can tell them with our tongues to "Be Quiet" and "Be Muted" for 24 hrs each day in the name of Jesus and they must obey. Think of it, no noise or interference from any demons for 24 hrs in our family, friends, co-workers, government officials, & even in ourselves. Try it! Imagine the revival our world could have! That would mean all the abortionists, murderers, drug users, gang bangers, etc ... etc... would stop what their doing because the demons would not be leading them. Wow! God is so good. They would begin to hear God talking to them. I'm excited about this, aren't you? This is so awesome to me. We the people on this earth have the power through Christ to change our world one day at a time! Get excited people!! Start working!
God Bless,
