We are created and the first sin of man has been passed down. Our first inheritance is sin passed down through the ages. We speak of history! Is it not His-story? ALL that is, seen and unseen, has it not been, ‘Time’ is an Earthly creation, prior it was ‘existence’ ‘Time’ did not exist! Is it not in the His-story of ‘Creation’ that ‘days’ were created? How do we have ‘days?’ Is it not by the rotatin of the Earth around the ‘known’ center of the universe, the Sun? In God’s presence there is NO time, just existence! Even speaking of Satan, one of God’s created angels, how is it that he has not ‘passed?’ he still is the same through the ages! Yes, this is not often thought about. But, I hear: “How about us?” Age is a punishment by the Force Who created us!

One experience leads to the next. In this present period there are ‘shiftings’ in the Spiritual realms.
Life on Earth is enveloped in spiritual warfare. On one side is God, The Creator of ALL, The Son, The Holy Spirit and the holy angels. They concentrate on doing ‘good’ and advancing the purposes of God-The Creator! We each have a reason we were created, I have asked time again what yours is? There is NONE like you! The concept ‘individuality’ is defined in and through you, there is NO ONE else on Earth who is you, not twins, triplets, quadruplets… There is NONE, WHY then are YOU here? Even getting into discourse about where we are headed and what will happen, there is a ‘Force’, religion apart that brought us to be. Find it in the way that is most comfortable, you ARE! You came to be. You for ‘whatever reason’ are you! We have just mentioned it, there is NO OTHER like you! We can relate to ‘The Cause’ that brought us to be the way we are supposed to. In most cases ‘self’ is made at peace when you focus on The Root of life, in Islam, Eastern Arts, Christianity…There is a relation to a greater force, our origin! In the Spiritual realm there are two sides, one is The true will of God and arrayed against them are the spiritual rulers and the dark forces of evil.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12
They strive to obstruct Gods purposes and attempt to work as much negativity as possible. There are arguments, but they have been answered before our time; we all know the difference between what is right and what is ‘wrong,’ this is a seed that has been passed on.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil (עֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע; Hebrew pronunciation: [Etz ha-daʿat tov wa-raʿ]) is one of two specific trees in the story of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2–3, along with the tree of life.
We have discussed this, there were two trees among the myriad in The geared of Eden. In this current time, there are those who seek this ‘fruit’, as stated there are angels in existence who have been placed to guard the fruit of the tree of life.
In the Book of Genesis, the tree of life is first described in chapter 2, verse 9 as being planted with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Hebrew: עֵץ הַדַּעַת) “in the midst of the Garden of Eden” by God. In Genesis 3:24 cherubim guard the way to the tree of life at the east end of the Garden.
In Revelation, after the apostle John describes the river of life, he mentions another striking feature: “On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations” (Revelation 22:2).
The tree of life is mentioned three times in Genesis 2, in Eden, and again four times in Revelation, three of those in the final chapter. These instances seem to refer to Eden’s literal tree of life. We’re told the tree of life is presently in Paradise, the intermediate Heaven (Revelation 2:7). The New Jerusalem itself, also in the present Heaven, will be brought down, tree of life and all, and placed on the New Earth (Revelation 21:2). Just as the tree was apparently relocated from Eden to the present Heaven, it will be relocated again to the New Earth.
In Eden, the tree appears to have been a source of ongoing physical life. The presence of the tree of life suggests a supernatural provision of life as Adam and Eve ate the fruit their Creator provided. Adam and Eve were designed to live forever, but to do so they likely needed to eat from the tree of life. Once they sinned, they were banned from the Garden, separated from the tree, and subject to physical death, just as they had experienced spiritual death. Since Eden, death has reigned throughout history. But on the New Earth, our access to the tree of life is forever restored. (Notice that there’s no mention of a tree of the knowledge of good and evil to test us. The redeemed have already known sin and its devastation; they will desire it no more.)
In the New Earth, we will freely eat the fruit of the same tree that nourished Adam and Eve: “To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God” (Revelation 2:7). Once more human beings will draw their strength and vitality from this tree. The tree will produce not one crop but twelve. The newness and freshness of Heaven is demonstrated in the monthly yield of fruit. The fruit is not merely to be admired but consumed.
The description of the tree of life in Revelation 22 mirrors precisely what’s prophesied in the Old Testament: “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing” (Ezekiel 47:12).
God’s authority prevails in the spiritual dimension. His authority was not affected by the fall, so this battle changes nothing in the heavenly places. In the spiritual dimension both sides must abide by God’s rules.
The outcome of the spiritual struggle is manifested on earth. When the light side wins the struggle, peace and plenty prevail on earth. When the dark side is on top, trouble and tribulation will be prevalent.
Authority
The outcome of the spiritual struggle is not determined by numbers. If it were, the light side would win, because good angels out number evil angels two to one. The outcome is not determined by force. If it were, the Holy Spirit would win hands down. The outcome of the spiritual struggle on earth is not determined by numbers or force, but by authority.
God has given authority on earth to humans. The outcome of the spiritual battle depends on which side is given the greatest authority by people on earth.
Authority on earth in spiritual realm is determined on earth by numbers of believers, faith and words declaring God’s purposes.
If enough people are following Jesus, praying in faith, and declaring God’s purposes, the Holy Spirit and the holy angels will have the authority they need to hold the dark side in check. It does not have to be the majority. In fact, the greater their faith, the smaller the number of faithful people can be. On the other hand, if too many people on earth are giving authority to the dark side, it will win the spiritual battle and the Holy Spirit and the holy angels will be constrained.
We are given a glance into what is. Being ‘alive’ in the physical sense is different from being aware in the Spiritual senses. It becomes apparent what fasting does, it quiets the physical and enhances the spiritual senses. We have so many examples of fasting in The Word:
We have shared about the meaning ‘blessed’, we find a clear hint of a segment here: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledge my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto The LORD; and Thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. Amen.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto The LORD.
For Thou art my hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Amen.
For You LORD have said: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go: I will guide you with mine eye.” Psalm 32:1-8
Present round about are the Spiritual entities we shared about. Jesus in the wilderness for 40 days and nights. The FAST brought Him closer to GOD, yes! There were Spiritual forces around Him at all times. He was definitely in The Spirit, having failed to succeed in making Him fall to their ruse’, the Spiritual forces in the side we all fight daily reported to their lord and he appeared to tempt Jesus. We do not know what He ‘suffered’ or experienced during those fourty days, in no way did Jesus think it was worth sharing. In times in The Bible when people fasted, it was known thay they did not have ‘supplies’ or nutrition:

There are examples,we read of this going on. None as significant as Jesus’ fast. Wild outdoors, lack, sleepless nights, thirst, hunger… all physical comforts. When it would have led to Jesus’ leaving this world in the physical, His fast was ended with the prince of this world, who had been aware of all that had transpired. Thus, the temptations.
We stand in a spot having given our lives to Jesus that we are besot by continuous blows that shake us, intended to make us fall. This IS known! Hence, we as believers each have a guardian angel that has been assigned. There is a great community in the Spiritual. Just as we descendants of Abraham are numerous like sands on the shore. So is the heavenly host. We must realize, and I state Again- each has its purpose Man and angels. The Universe as we know it was ‘spoken’ into being. Yet Man was worked on for a period in His creation. There may habe been presets, this was shared with me, however speaking, thriving, modern man has all the bits and pieces that make us in His image!
We nearly threw this out, but God in The person of His Son, a part of Him came to reset life! Even though the pause button was not hit, the reverse was run in and on the spool. We must see it as it is and accept the fact that Jesus came to set things back hundred of thousands of years, even more.
As such this is something we are presented with, something we are offered – do what you will. It is YOUR choice.
Realizing all that Jesus sacrificed so that we don’t receive the death, as sinners, we deserve, how could we not choose to follow Him and commit our lives in service!? Especially with the promise of life eternal.
