Brief discussion about the Third Heaven. Who are in the Third Heaven. Ministry of angels. Our place in heaven.
Final meeting of the Heavens and its hosts seminar.
This document provides an overview of spiritual warfare according to Ephesians 6:12. It discusses that a Christian has three major enemies: the flesh, the world, and the devil and his demons. It defines spiritual warfare as battling against spirit forces, rather than human beings.
It describes the process by which the flesh can gain influence over a Christian through desires, strongholds, and idolatry. Examples of strongholds that can develop include resentment, materialism, and political victory. Winning the war against the flesh requires demolishing these strongholds.
The document also discusses how spirits of immorality, idolatry, and death influenced the lineage of Judah and Tamar, and how those same spirits
The document discusses having faith during difficult times based on the biblical story of Jesus calming the storm. It notes that storms can come unexpectedly in life, like problems rising up suddenly. The disciples were afraid during the storm in the story, but Jesus remained calm and asleep, depicting how Christians should react to problems - making efforts to solve them but also praying and having faith that God is in control. Having faith means being sure of what we hope for even if we can't see it and knowing that no storm is too strong for God to handle. The document encourages having faith like Jesus during life's storms rather than giving in to fear.
The document discusses theories about the implied second heaven and the fall of Satan based on passages from the Bible.
In 3 sentences:
1) The Bible does not explicitly mention a second heaven, but some passages imply there is a heaven between the first and third heavens where evil spirits reside.
2) There are theories that Satan fell from heaven prior to the events in Genesis 1-2, possibly causing catastrophic damage to the original earth mentioned in Genesis 1:1.
3) This fall from heaven is speculated to have been similar to an asteroid impact that suddenly destroyed much of the earth's prehistorical life and ecosystems.
The document describes visions of heaven as a perfect place without sin, suffering, or death. It depicts heaven as having beautiful scenery like the Garden of Eden, with lush landscapes, pure air and water, and fruit trees bearing delicious fruit. Residents of heaven will have perfect, immortal bodies and will be able to learn from and interact with biblical figures like Moses, Daniel, Paul, and Peter. People in heaven will worship God, explore nature, and have their questions answered before returning to live on the new Earth forever.
1. God had three great plans laid out before the universe existed and time began - eternal life, salvation, and grace.
2. Eternal life refers to God's offer of an unending relationship with Him and resurrection to everlasting life. Salvation involves God's plan to call people to repentance and forgive their sins through Jesus' sacrifice. Grace refers to God's undeserved favor and provision of forgiveness and help through Christ.
3. These three overlapping and interrelated aspects of God's plan were designed carefully by God before the beginning of time.
The document discusses the importance of spiritual growth and maturity. It outlines different stages of spiritual development using the analogy of an infant, child, teenager, and mature adult. Each stage is characterized by certain behaviors and mindsets. The goal is to progress from basic understanding to discernment, submission to authority, and mentoring others through mature character and intimacy with God.
This document discusses how Christians should live in light of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. It examines different views on the rapture and tribulation period. The key points are:
1. Every generation of Christians believed Jesus was coming during their lifetime, based on signs in the Bible.
2. The document reviews passages suggesting the rapture occurs mid-tribulation or post-tribulation, not pre-tribulation as many believe.
3. Based on Jesus' teachings, Christians should live in constant readiness for His return, providing for others and making prudent preparations, rather than ignoring the signs of the times. How Christians live should reflect their eagerness to see Him.

Before Christ came into our lives, we were children of darkness. But even as God is light, and Christ is the light of the world, so also are we are children of light. As such, we ought to walk in the light and behave in a manner consistent with our calling. Wake up oh Christian and let your light shine.
Many of us have an endless list of questions when it comes to Bible prophecy. It is quite possible that the more we study, the more confusing it all becomes. Taken from Dr. Jeremiah's "Answers to the Unsolved Mysteries of Prophecy" booklet, these charts will help you navigate through end-times prophecy and will answer your questions about the final days of this world.
John 3:1-5. A New Life In Christ. In the new life we have been born again. In the new life we are a new creation. In the new life we crucify the flesh with its passions and desires. In the new life we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. In the new life we are renewed by the Holy Spirit. In the new life we are dead to sin but alive to God. In the new life we are washed from our sins. in the new life we put to death the old man and put on the new man. In the new life we died and our life is hidden with Christ in God. In the new life we were brought back from death in sin.
God tests the faith of those he intends to use. The document discusses how God tested the faith of biblical figures like Noah, Abraham, and Moses through impossible tasks, major changes, delayed promises, unsolvable problems, senseless tragedies, and prolonged pain. Each test was an opportunity for their faith and endurance to grow. The lessons are that faith is believing without seeing, obeying without understanding, and persisting even when it's difficult.
Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.
The document discusses the three realms of the supernatural: faith, anointing, and glory. It states that faith is the first realm and portal to the supernatural. Faith is in the person of Jesus Christ and it is the beginning of entry into the supernatural realm. The document explores many Bible passages that discuss faith and how it is necessary to please God and receive his promises. It establishes that the realm of faith centers around believing in Jesus Christ.
I used this as an interactive lesson during a children's Sunday service. After slide 6 I asked them for as many children in the Bible as they could think of, and listed them on a flip chart. We went through the 12 on slide 7, letting them choose the order. They are set as hyperlinks in the original file, but don't work that way in SlideShare. Clicking on the character's title brought it back to the original list so they could pick another story. Stories were very abbreviated, intentionally, so they could look at the role model lesson the child is for them. The emphasis is for them to be role models (Be an example!) of their faith, as well as to trust God to help them.
This document discusses God's way of salvation according to the Bible. It outlines the five steps as: 1) Hearing the Word, 2) Believing the message, 3) Having an attitude of repentance, 4) Confessing surrender, and 5) Baptism in water. It provides biblical references to support each step. Examples of salvation are provided from Acts. False doctrines like infant baptism are addressed, noting that baptism requires faith while infants do not have faith.
This document provides guidance on growing spiritually through bearing spiritual fruits. It discusses the fruit of the Spirit according to Galatians 5:22-23, which includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. It emphasizes that Christians should demonstrate these fruits in their actions and lives. For each fruit, it provides Bible verses explaining what it means and how Christians can cultivate it. The overarching message is that God wants Christians to grow spiritually by developing these Christ-like qualities in their character and behaviors.
God dwells in heaven, which serves as His sanctuary and throne room. While He is omnipresent and not confined to any physical location, He chose to have a dwelling place in heaven where He receives worship from angels and believers. In heaven, God governs all of creation from His throne according to principles of righteousness, justice, mercy and truth. Jesus intercedes for humanity from the heavenly sanctuary, where He provides salvation and passes judgment. The book of Revelation depicts sanctuary imagery that portrays Jesus' heavenly ministry and the plan of salvation that will culminate in God's people dwelling with Him in the earth made new.
This document discusses the heavens and their hosts from a biblical perspective over multiple pages. It begins by introducing the concept of three heavens - the first, second and third heavens. It then focuses on the first heaven, describing it as having two parts: the atmosphere and the celestial heaven beyond where stars, sun and moon exist. It provides several biblical examples of God's control over celestial bodies and warns against worshipping creation rather than the Creator. The document distinguishes astronomy from the occult practice of astrology, urging readers to renounce involvement with astrology.
Daniel was taken captive to Babylon along with other young men where they were to be trained and assimilated into Babylonian culture. They were given Babylonian names and fed the king's food, which likely included meat offered to idols. Daniel and his friends refused to eat the king's food or embrace the Babylonian names and lifestyle. God blessed them for their faithfulness by giving them superior understanding over the other trainees. They impressed Nebuchadnezzar with their wisdom and served faithfully until the time of Cyrus, demonstrating that God honors those who honor and remain faithful to Him, even in a foreign land.
The document discusses conception and birthing in the spirit realm, drawing parallels to conception and birthing in the physical body. It explains that things of God and the devil are birthed spiritually in man. It describes how our spirit, soul, and body interact and relate to the spiritual world. It outlines that before being born again, we were spiritually dead and unable to receive from God, but could receive from Satan. After being born again, our spirit is made alive by God and we become new spiritual beings with access to God through our spirit.
The Story of Two Touches | A Sermon on Mark 5:21-43Steve Thomason
Jesus heals two women. One enjoyed the center of community life, the other lived on the margins. See how each had to take a different path to find Jesus' healing touch.
The document discusses God's appointed calendar of feasts for the Israelites that was given in Leviticus 23. It notes that these feasts were not just holidays or rituals, but times set by God to meet with His people and for specific spiritual transactions and blessings. The three main feasts discussed are Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. The document suggests that understanding and following God's calendar of appointed times can help believers break out of cycles of destruction and into cycles of blessing in their lives.
WARFARE AGAINST THE WORLD Spiritual warfare 2Butch Yulo
This document discusses the three spiritual wars Christians face: against the flesh, the world, and the devil. It emphasizes that Christians must first win the war against the flesh through overcoming sinful desires and habits. They then need to win the war against the world by not loving or conforming to worldly systems and cultures. Only after gaining victory in these first two wars can Christians directly confront demonic powers. The document warns that failing to win the first two wars leaves "open gates" for demons to retaliate. It then examines how Satan controls and influences the world through sinful cultural systems and structures to achieve his purposes of defiling and enslaving people.
This document discusses the promise and fulfillment of the Holy Spirit according to scripture. It explains that all believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit upon believing, but being filled with the Spirit involves yielding control to allow Him to influence one's life. Being filled can be repeated as needed and is maintained by walking wisely in the Spirit through redeeming one's time for God, speaking to others, giving thanks, and submitting to others in fear of God. Constant filling requires sacrificing self-control and investing time in spiritual growth. The seven spirits of God - wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord - provide balance and strength when functioning in a believer's life.
The document discusses the concept of being "born again" or receiving a new spiritual birth. It explains that this new birth is necessary for everyone to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3,5). It involves being "born of water and the Spirit" (John 3:5). This new birth opens spiritual eyes to see the kingdom of heaven, makes one a child of God, and involves receiving a new heart and spirit from God (Ezekiel 36:26-27). The Holy Spirit then lives within the person and produces a holy life. The experience of conversion can involve strong emotions for some or be hardly perceptible for others. The result is becoming a new person with eternal life.
The document discusses the second coming of Christ based on biblical teachings. It covers what the second coming is, the signs that will precede it, and how believers should respond. The key points are:
- The second coming will be personal and visible, in which Christ returns to establish his kingdom and judge unbelievers.
- Signs preceding it will include religious delusion, wars, natural disasters, and the re-establishment of Israel as a nation.
- Believers should watch and pray, evangelize others, and live holy lives as they wait patiently for Christ's return. The rapture will come secretly to take believers before the tribulation.
When the Lord gave us His Spirit, He gave us fully and without reserve, If you are a believer in The Lord Jesus Christ, you have it as it is your right and inheritance.
The document provides an overview of the book of Revelation. It begins by outlining the purpose of Revelation as told to John by Jesus: to write down what he has seen, what is currently happening, and what will happen in the future. The key is then given that Revelation contains visions from God, not in chronological order, with sevens appearing frequently and a pause between the sixth and seventh seals/trumpets. The overview then examines each vision: the things John has seen in chapter 1, the letters to the seven churches as the current state in chapters 2-3, God and Jesus' glory in chapters 4-5, and the things to come after in chapters 6-22 involving seals, trumpets, Satan

War broke out in heaven between Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon (Satan) and his angels. Satan and his angels were defeated and cast out of heaven down to earth. Satan is known by many names that reveal his nature as the deceiver and enemy of God who rules over the kingdoms of this world. Jesus demonstrated power over Satan by resisting his temptations and casting out demons. One day, Satan will be bound and imprisoned for 1,000 years before being released for a short time.
The document discusses the growth of green energy sources and policies to support their adoption. Many governments around the world have implemented renewable portfolio standards and incentives to increase investment and development of wind, solar, and other low-carbon energy technologies to combat climate change. These policies have led to cost reductions from technological improvements and economies of scale, making green energy more economically viable.
This document provides an overview and interpretation of Psalm 84. It discusses how the psalm could refer to a pilgrimage song, a prophecy about the millennial reign of Christ, or a personal application about worshiping God. The document analyzes each verse of the psalm, relating it to concepts like the glory of God, longing for heaven, finding rest in God, and delighting in service. It describes glimpses of heaven mentioned in the psalm, such as being in God's presence and having no worries or enemies. Biblical references are provided about the nature of heaven, including there being no sun or moon needed for light. The overall message is of finding blessing and happiness through trusting in God.
The Unity of Christ’s body the church, How can a loving God allow evil, dead in your sins, the ruler of the air, The god of this age the devil, an act of God or the devil, by nature children of wrath, His great love, saved by faith or grace, what is grace, fellow citizens with God's people
This Bible study delves into the afterlife and eternal future. Do you know what will happen when you die? The truth about heaven and hell? A detailed study of Scripture will reveal the truth.
God created the angels as the first spiritual beings. Angels are spiritual beings created by God to serve and worship Him. They were God's first creation and were made to carry out His will. The Bible references angels throughout and describes them as messengers and servants of God. There are also descriptions of different types of angels that make up the nine choirs or spheres in heaven.
The document describes John's vision of the New Jerusalem, which is prepared as the eternal home for God's people. Key details include: the New Jerusalem descends from heaven after the first heaven and earth pass away; it resembles a bride adorned for her husband; God dwells among his people and wipes away every tear; the city has twelve gates guarded by angels representing the twelve tribes of Israel and twelve foundation stones representing the twelve apostles.
The document discusses God's ownership and control over all things. It notes that God owns everything in heaven and earth, including wealth, natural resources, and people. It also asserts that God controls circumstances and uses them for good purposes, such as meeting people's needs and developing their character through discipline. The document encourages acknowledging God as the ultimate owner of everything and making financial decisions in light of this.
The book of Hebrews argues that Jesus is greater than the prophets, angels, Moses, Israel, the Sabbath, priests, the tabernacle, and the old covenant. The author is unknown but possibly Barnabas, Apollos, or Paul. The audience is Hebrews facing questions about continuing Jewish customs or following the new teachings of Jesus. The book emphasizes that Jesus' sacrifice was once for all, replacing the old sacrificial system with a new, perfect covenant through his death on the cross.

The document discusses views on heaven and the end times. It provides 10 truths about heaven from biblical passages, including that heaven is a place with no death, suffering, sin or impurity. God himself will be present in glory. People from all nations will be there in worship. Mansions have been prepared. Qualification for heaven is forgiveness, not goodness, as forgiveness is received through faith in Jesus Christ who died for sins and offers eternal life. Sin requires punishment that Jesus provided on the cross.
This document is a summary of a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on May 20, 2018. The sermon discusses the Judgment Seat of Christ mentioned in 2 Corinthians 5:9-10, where believers will give an account of their actions during their lifetime and receive rewards. It describes the different crowns or rewards believers can receive for acts of evangelism, faithfulness, shepherding others, self-discipline, and perseverance. While salvation is a free gift, believers are motivated to live holy lives out of love for God knowing they will one day give an account before the Judgment Seat of Christ.
The document discusses the authority that Satan and his demons have over sinners and saints. It examines Satan's names in Hebrew and Greek which mean "adversary", "accuser", and "devil". While Satan and his demons can influence and tempt people, their power is limited and not omnipotent. The document asserts that through Christ's death, he destroyed Satan's power over death. It encourages believers to stand firm in faith against Satan's schemes by putting on the full armor of God.
This document tells a story about a man who was calling out to God but failing to recognize how God was responding. God spoke to the man through a singing bird, thunder, a shining star, and the birth of the man's son, but each time the man did not listen or understand. Finally, God touched the man's cheek with a butterfly, but the man brushed it away without comprehending. The moral is that God speaks to us in many ways, but we must have open senses to recognize His communications.
The document discusses prophecies from the Old Testament that foretold characteristics of the Messiah which were fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament. It provides several examples of prophecies about the Messiah being born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, descended from Abraham and King David, and more that were fulfilled by Jesus. The purpose seems to be showing how Jesus fulfilled Messianic prophecies and was the promised Messiah.
This document discusses the development of human senses from an embryo to adulthood and compares it to the development of spiritual senses. It notes that each of the five physical senses - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - emerge at different points in fetal and infant development. It then explores how each spiritual sense - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - relates to discerning spiritual truths and realities. The document emphasizes that regularly exercising our spiritual senses through reading Scripture, prayer, and obedience helps them to mature so we can better distinguish good from evil.
The three persons involved in the act of prophesying. God, the giver of the word. The person receiving from God to transmit the word. The final receiver.
Prophecy is speaking out the mind of God under divine inspiration. It involves edifying, exhorting, and comforting people by restoring God's image in them, showing them God's plans, and communicating how God sees them. True prophecy comes from being Christ-centered and having one's heart filled with God's love, which is then poured out to others. Several scriptures are presented that declare God's promises of forgiveness, blessings, healing, and deliverance. The document encourages activating these prophecies by declaring them over others and concludes with a prayer for revelation, transformation, and effectiveness in prophetic ministry.
The document provides information about ambassadors from several sources including dictionaries and examples. It defines an ambassador as an official envoy, especially a high-ranking diplomat, sent by a country to represent them in another country. Joseph Grew and Kichisaburō Nomura are discussed as the ambassadors of the US and Japan respectively who worked to prevent war between the two countries before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The document also discusses how Christians can take on the role of ambassadors for Christ by knowing God's message, having wise and persuasive communication, and living virtuous lives that represent the kingdom of heaven.
The document discusses the biblical Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkoth). It describes how the feast commemorates the harvest and the Israelites' 40 years wandering in the desert. During the feast, Israelites built temporary shelters (sukkot) and lived in them for 7 days. At the Temple, priests performed rituals like pouring water and sacrificing 70 bulls to atone for the nations. The feast points to God dwelling with his people and the future ingathering of all nations when the Messiah returns.
The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, marks the Jewish New Year according to the biblical calendar. It commemorates the beginning of the fall harvest season and prophetically points to end times events in God's plan of salvation. The blowing of the trumpet on this feast is likened to the last trumpet that will sound at the rapture of the church, gathering believers to meet the returning Jesus in the air. The 100 trumpet blasts, with the final one longest, picture the trumpet blast announcing Christ's second coming to earth to establish his kingdom.
This document provides an overview of a prophetic night event focused on discussing and prophesying from passages in the book of Isaiah. Participants will explore selected scriptures from their own point of view and compare to biblical commentary. They will share what striking points they find in each passage and discuss ideas emerging from the scriptures. The last hour will involve prophesying over each other. The document includes an opening prayer asking God to help activate prophetic gifts to lovingly represent him, renew minds to have his thoughts and insights, and for mouths to overflow with living waters to soak others in love. Passages on being engraved on God's hands and finding one's wilderness/desert are included to recognize new things, with definitions requested
Jewish people celebrate Shavuot and the harvest of wheat, while Christians celebrate Pentecost and the harvest of the church. Both holidays commemorate the giving of the law at Mount Sinai and the empowering of believers by the Holy Spirit. Pentecost marks when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in tongues of fire, empowering the early church and inaugurating the age of grace.
The document discusses the power of God's spoken word based on revelations the author received from listening to the song "So Will I (100 Billion X)". The author was amazed at receiving revelation from the song's lyrics and realized this showed how much more powerful it is to receive revelation directly from reading and meditating on the Bible itself. The song's lyrics are then included, praising God as the creator of all things and for His salvation through Jesus' death and resurrection.
The document discusses three instances in the Bible where the windows of heaven were opened. Each time, an abundance was poured out from heaven. The first was during Noah's flood, when God opened the windows of heaven to bring judgment through a torrential downpour. The second was when windows opened to transfer natural resources, changing a famine situation into a surplus. The third was when windows opened to pour out spiritual blessings too abundant to contain. Opening the windows of heaven signifies God releasing his abundant provision and blessing from the heavenly realm.
The document discusses spiritual harvest and encourages the reader to be ready. It notes that God has sowed seeds in the reader's "field" through prophetic words, blessings, and other means. These seeds have grown roots and blossoms and it is now time for harvest. The reader is encouraged to identify the different "lines of crops" or fruits of the spirit within themselves. Finally, it reminds the reader that God has prepared good works for them and they should look for opportunities to use their gifts, as this is part of the seeds sown in them. The reader is told to ensure their "silo" or spiritual storage is ready to keep the harvest.
The document discusses biblical meanings of various numbers. It notes that the number 7 represents completion or perfection. Genesis 7:23 describes the biblical flood wiping out all life except those on Noah's ark. Genesis 17:11-12 says circumcision of males should occur on the 8th day as a sign of God's covenant. Colossians 2:11 and John 20:26 also reference the importance of the 8th day. The document asserts that 800 represents being "fully put off" from the old, carnal nature. It lists ages that people in the Bible lived to be, many reaching 800-1000 years.
We can use the power of the blood of Jesus for our benefit. Claiming His blood daily, builds up a shield of protection around you, your household and your ministry.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

38. NAMES, TITLES
AND FUNCTIONS
They are called Angels.
The word angel ANGELOS, primarily means “messenger.”
The term is used no less than twelve times in this book.
The very title reveals that the servant nature of angels in
relation to God is stressed (Hebrews 1:4, 6, 7, 9. 16; 12:22;
13:2), so at best angels are servants.
39. They are calledWinds (1:7)
This reference could be to the incorporeal nature of angels.
They are not flesh and blood beings.
They are called Ministers (1:7)
Again the servant feature of angels is emphasized in relation to
man and creation.
They are called Flames of Fire (1:7)
This fact points out that angelic ministry is effective.
40. They are called Spirits (1:14; 12:9)
Angels are spirit beings.
Jesus defined a spirit as not having flesh and blood (Luke
24:39).
They are called Ministering Spirits (1:14)
This is another term pointing out the character of angels in
serving.
It is in this capacity that angels minister to believers .
41. •Hebrews 1:14 (NKJV)
•14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth
to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
42. FINAL IDEAS
• Angels carry out God’s judgment;
Angels serve God;
Angels praise God;
Angels are messengers;
Angels protect God’s people;
Angels do not marry;
Angels do not die;
Angels encourage people.
