The Angelic Conflict – Part 41 Outline
The Angelic Conflict – Part 41 –
Bible doctrine is the least publicized of priorities in this world because this is the devil’s world.
2CO 4:4 “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the [apistos – those without doctrine], that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ”
REV 12:9 – Satan deceives the whole world;
Paul said he was a preacher [kerux], 1TI 2:7, 2TI 1:11.
Point 11. – How God is Glorified in the Angelic Conflict –
The pastor-teacher must be gifted, prepared, qualified and filled with the Spirit and then God the Holy Spirit is able to take the information and teach every prepared believer.
stewardship = oikonomia = dispensation, period of time, namely the Church-age.
There’s an infinite gap between divine perfection and human imperfection, and grace is the infinite filler that fills the gap.
There’s nothing you can do in human effort or human merit or human energy or power in the spiritual life.
All of us are ordinary believers, but we have the grace and power offered to us to become extraordinary invisible heroes.
2CO 6:9 we are unknown yet well-known,
Invisible heroes are believers who execute the plan of God and recognize they are a vital part of the angelic conflict in human history, and avoid all the distractions of legalism, etc.
Like Bible doctrine and invisible heroes, the trial called the angelic conflict is the least publicized of all trials.
EPH 6:18-20 – make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, and speak boldly, as they ought to speak.
2TI 4:2 Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
EPH 3:13 Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory.
2TI 1:15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me 2TI 4:11 Only Luke is with me.
2CO 12:7 – an angel from Satan to buffet me – [kolaphizo = to maltreat with violence and rude language]
Any communicator of doctrine who is exposing the strategies and schemes of the devil and exposing the unfruitful deeds of darkness (EPH 5:11) is going to have adversities and tribulations.
LUK 23:28 “Stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.”
In the pulpit we give mystery doctrine so we can recognize it, but in life God brings tests so we can utilize it!
Your mastery of the mystery doctrine of the Church-age makes you competent and more than equal to any adversities or tests in this life!
