Have you ever wondered what the door was?
Satan tried to rule the earth without a physical body and Jesus called him a robber and a thief! John 10:1
But in referring to Himself, Jesus said, "... He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep," John 10:2
So, have you ever wondered what that door was? In the natural sense a door is the legal means of entry into a restricted area.
The earth is a restricted area; it was created by God and is still owned by Him. It's His private property! So if one wants to come from the spirit realm and enter in and operate legally in the earth realm, he needs to have legal access! He needs to go through the door!
The door to the earth (legal access) is being born of a woman and possessing a physical body! Anyone who tries to operate on earth without a physical body is trespassing and guilty of sinning against God! Jesus said, "...Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me," Heb 10:5
Jesus accessed the earth and the people of the earth (the sheepfold and the sheep) legally, by being born of a woman... Satan did not!
Jesus is the authorized shepherd of the sheep... Satan is not!!! Why is the chief end of a demon always to possess a human being? Because they are spirits without bodies and they need to possess a body in order to operate more effectively in the earth!
Still illegally... but more effectively!
When a demon inhabits a person's body he has limited authority through that person because he's now operating through a physical body, but a man or woman of God who comes in the name (authority) of Jesus Christ ALWAYS has superior authority over any demon!
Your physical body is the symbol of your authority in the earth! Not your spirit, not your soul... your body!
That's why as a rule, when your body dies, you cease to affect the earth! You still have your spirit and soul, why can't you still continue to affect life? Because you have no authority to affect the earth without a body!
You have no authority to affect life from death!
The incident involving the prophet Samuel, king Saul and the witch of Endor is one notable exception to this rule! Another exception is when Moses and Elijah counseled Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration! But that's why you do have authority over demons, they are spirits without physical bodies, therefore they have no authority in the earth!
Because you were born of a woman you can command them! They cannot command you! The only reason demons can control some humans is because they are deceived into giving up their authority to these demons and allowing them access to manipulate their will!
The fundamental reason why Jesus' name has authority in the earth is because... he came in the flesh!!! If He had stayed in heaven, none of the authority we have in His name would be possible! In the bible, God was only able to promise change until He got Himself a body!
Promises like, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive...!" "For unto you a child is born...!" "The seed of the woman shall...!"
From Genesis to Malachi God was promising change, but the only time we actually saw change is when He finally got a physical body and came to earth!
Why do you think every time God was about to perform some major move in the earth, Satan was always trying to kill the babies? He tried to kill both Moses and Jesus, the mediators of the old and new covenants, respectively, through legalized infanticide!
It's because God can only change things in the earth through someone who has a physical body! That's why man's primary command from God in the beginning was to be fruitful and multiply!
The more people born, the more vessels He could work through to demonstrate His authority and bring to pass His purpose!
This is why barrenness is described as a curse and fruitfulness is a blessing in the bible!
A woman was designed to bring forth children who would become instruments of change in the earth, so if she is barren, then she's no longer a channel through which God can bring instruments of change! No child can be born of her... no instrument of change can come to earth! In our present age there are so many homeless, parentless children that I believe that God may allow some couples not to produce their own children just so that they can rescue some child or children who have no parents of their own.
So, if you're a godly person reading this and you're not able to produce children maybe, just maybe, God is speaking to you about adoption.
Why not rescue a child who needs you and the love you have to give?
This doctrine of the authority of the physical body in the earth also directly affects the issue of abortion and shows why it's wrong!
God's modus operandi for enhancing life on earth is to inspire human beings to excellence so abortion limits God's ability to expedite His will in the earth!
He said, "if you humble yourselves and pray I will... If you bind on earth I will..."
God needs someone with a physical body who is born of a woman to be the instrument that He works through to effect change in our lives! "I looked for someone to defend the city and to protect it from my anger, as well as to stop me from destroying it. But I found no one. So in my fierce anger, I will punish the Israelites for what they have done, and they will know that I am furious. I, the Lord, have spoken," Eze 22:30-31 (CEV)
This is why He commands us to pray. We authorize and legalize His interventions in our lives through prayer. When we speak... we release Him to act!
With millions of unborn children slaughtered daily, we are short-circuiting the very blessings God has planned for us as a race.
How many inspired world-leaders, great inventors, gifted artists and talented scientists are being ripped out of their mother's wombs and murdered on a table in the name of convenience?
And still, we have the audacity to ask God, why is this world in such a mess? I'll tell you why!
Because, by a process of institutionalized infanticide, we are eliminating the very people God has been sending to earth to bless us and enhance the quality of our lives!
Mass abortion retards the development of our global society and short-circuits our collective potential!!!
Every human being is a catalyst for someone else's genius.
Part of your purpose is to bring out the best in someone else! Someone you may never know or meet!
The philosophical works of Plato and Aristotle were built upon the foundational principles laid by Socrates.
In the 1960's, Dr. Martin Luther King's non-violent revolution, which changed the face of America forever, was greatly influenced by the Indian revolution led by Mahatma Ghandi in the 1940's.
In the 17th century Galileo's understanding of the universe, based on his extensive research in Physics and Astronomy, was seeded by Copernicus' work published 100 earlier in De Revolutionibus. And even this great publication was influenced by the propositions and discussions of Archimedes and Aristarchus in the third century BC.
Today, our brightest scientific minds in contemporary medicine still reference Louis Pasteur's phenomenal discovery, "the germ theory of disease" made almost two centuries ago.
Now imagine living in a world without all these men and the discoveries they made! What if all these children had been victims of abortion???
EACH OF THESE MEN HAD A MOTHER WHO HAD A CHOICE!
Every one of these men was once a mass of cells in some woman's uterus! What if she were "Pro Choice" and decided to exercise "her right to abort"???
What if Susanna Fontanarossa had decided that she was too young or too poor to have a child and had an abortion? Then, Christopher Columbus would not have re-discovered the most powerful nation on earth! What kind of world would we be living in today without America as we know it?
Whom are you carrying in your womb???
YOU HAVE NO IDEA!
You have been chosen to bare a special gift to humanity. To snuff out that life is a crime against the human race and a sin against God!
The psychological and emotional scars stay with you for a very long time and the memories... Forever! It's something you can NEVER undo!
Please consider life.
