Elvira, appointed as an ambassador of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
To the nations called to be His Kingdom of priests: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I praise the Lord for your positive response to His truth and His wisdom.
I praise you Lord because you have drawn your children close to you and made them experience your Pure Love.
Praise be to the Lord, who has graced us with knowledge of the mysteries of Christ that the world cannot understand.
Praise be to God for in His Mercy, He has allowed us, His people, to be able to receive and assimilate this knowledge in our hearts, for His glory.
I praise you Abba Father, for Your love and Your Mighty Hand that guides and protects us every day.
'Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?
You, Lord , are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.
You rule over the surging sea;
when its waves mount up, you still them.
You crushed Rahab like one of the slain;
with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.
The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth;
you founded the world and all that is in it.
You created the north and the south;
Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name.
Your arm is endowed with power;
your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, Lord .
They rejoice in your name all day long;
they celebrate your righteousness.
For you are their glory and strength,
and by your favor you exalt our horn.
Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord ,
love and faithfulness go before you
our king to the Holy One of Israel. ' Psalms 89:8-18
Lord, You are the Alpha and the Omega, The Beginning and The End. To You be the Glory now and forever, Amen.
I have heard the reports of the men and women of God who have ministries of their own who the Holy Spirit has led to connect to and read the epistles that we publish on this platform. Praise be to the Lord for you all, brethren. I pray that together, we will dive into the diligent study of the nature of the Lord we serve. I pray that we may prove ourselves trustworthy of everything He has bestowed upon us to accomplish for His Kingdom, and do it faithfully. May His Light guide you, and His love abide in you. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
'This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. ' 1 Corinthians 4:1-2
The topic of repentance is a priority in our walk with Christ. It cannot be understated how important it is for every one of us, whether young or old in our journey of salvation, to constantly repent and turn away from the mental conditioning that the devil and his agents continuously push on us in the systems of the world.
This matter is so important that it is the first statement our Lord Jesus ever made when He officially began His ministry:
'From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Matthew 4:17
Repentance should not be confused with confession. Confession is going before God and agreeing with Him about the things you have done that are rebellious to His Word, which is sin. Repentance, on the other hand, means to commit to forfeit those sinful things and change your mind (your thinking) about the sin you confessed and definitively turn away from it.
Confession has its spiritual power (which we discussed in our last epistle) and plays a vital role in the repentance process, but confession is not complete if we do not repent - change our thinking - and therefore turn away from sin.
What most believers do their entire lives is confess their sins but they don’t do anything to definitively turn away from them. They fail to repent.
All sin comes from darkness. Darkness is ignorance of the truth, who is Christ. Changing your thinking - repenting - is getting to know the truth that the Lord has revealed about that specific act you made that is sinful in His Sight and choosing to understand, integrate, and apply that truth to your life. That is true repentance.
Repentance is letting Christ touch your heart and shine His Light on that part of you that believes the devil's lies and causes you to sin so you do not return to it. That is true repentance.
Unless you change your mental conditioning about something and radically modify your beliefs to align them with the beliefs that the Lord Jesus teaches us, you will continue to struggle with the iniquity inside of you that causes you to sin. Recondition yourselves to the truth of Christ - that is true repentance.
Repentance is inviting His truth inside of our hearts, learning that truth, applying that truth, and believing in that truth so profoundly that it goes and radically modifies the DNA of our souls to be conformed more and more to His image. That is true repentance.
We inherited the iniquity within us from our forefathers and only the Light of Christ has the power to remove the shadow of darkness from inside of us that has been in our souls for millennia. That is true repentance.
Only Jesus Christ, through His Truth, has the power to deliver us from iniquity - we cannot do it by ourselves.
'But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He did not open his mouth. ' Isaiah 53:5-7
Our Lord Jesus paid the price for us to achieve true repentance that purifies our hearts and sets us on the path of the truth that gives life. He is the only One who has the power to cleanse us of iniquity and sin because He was given as an offering for our sins.
'He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death, though He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord ’s will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer, and though the Lord makes His life an offering for sin, He will see His offspring and prolong His days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in His hand. After He has suffered, He will see the light of life and be satisfied ; by His knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities. '
Our Lord bore our sins and iniquities and interceded for our transgressions, He died to redeem us from them and rose again to conquer death. Through His sacrifice, our sins are forgiven and we have eternal life.
Therefore I will give Him a portion among the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He poured out His life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.' Isaiah 53:12
Jesus Christ’s sacrifice was not so that we could go on sinning, but rather, so that we could have the chance to pursue true holiness that does not come from trying to abide by a law - which is impossible to do fully because of our sinful nature, but holiness that comes from a pure heart free of iniquity and sin because our Lord paid that price for us.
'For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ' Romans 8:3-4
Thanks to His sacrifice, we can now host the Holy Spirit, who is life and gives us freedom. That freedom is not so that we can continue sinning, but so that we live according to the Spirit of God and bear good fruit for God.
'So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. ' Romans 7:4-6
Repentance is not a matter of deciding not to sin or not wanting to sin, but a matter of recognising that we are unable to resist sin without the power of the Holy Spirit inside of us. That is true repentance.
If we could just decide not to sin by sheer willpower, the Lord would not have needed to die on the cross for us, the world would not be in such dire need of His Light, and Satan would not be the ruler of the systems of the world. Repentance goes further than saying “Lord, I won’t do it again”. Repentance goes deeper into the depths of our souls. That is true repentance.
I would like to address a specific issue that is a redundant topic in the church for those believers who have not truly accepted Christ as their Saviour but claim to be His followers. The topic of the Grace of God permitting us to do whatever we want because “His Grace is sufficient”.
Jesus died on the cross and provided His Grace to us so that we can live according to God’s standards of holiness, not by our will to follow a law - which is hindered by our sinful flesh - but by seeking Him with pure hearts and living our lives according to His Spirit inside of us, which gives life. That is true repentance.
His Grace gives us the opportunity to seek Him deeper and be more like Him, not the opposite. His Grace provides a platform for us to be forgiven of our sins so that we can do better, not the opposite. That is true repentance.
We must not use the Lord’s Grace, His sacrifice, and His love for us as an excuse to live sinful lives and say “His Grace is sufficient”. This attitude in itself is a sin and clear rebellion against God. Repent! Do not mock God.
This attitude is like mocking Him in the face and saying “Thank you for your Grace Lord! Now I am going to abuse that sacrifice Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ made, that price He paid by shedding His pure blood for my transgression. I will continue to live in my sin, be a slave to Satan and serve his kingdom of darkness. But… thanks for your Grace though!”.
Repent! Do not mock God. In fact, you are only mocking yourselves because God cannot be mocked.
'Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 'Galatians 6:7-8
You cannot sincerely say that you “declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead” to be saved if you do not have respect and reverence for the price He paid during that process of being raised from the dead. This means that you have not truly believed because you have not understood what you believe. If you understood the holiness of His Blood and the meaning of Him being raised from the dead (which is what you are supposed to believe to be saved) then you would not trample His Grace with blatant disobedience.
This attitude keeps you as slaves of the devil. You are the ones who are losing your lives as all of your inheritance as co-heirs with Christ leaks and gets drained by the pits of darkness which you voluntarily give access to by your behaviour.
If we expose our ignorance, learn His truth, meditate on it day and night and allow His precepts to sink down into our hearts, our minds will be transformed and the yoke of iniquity broken, only then shall we be in true repentance.
'Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. ' Joshua 1:8
Our repentance makes us new creations in Christ and maintains the Holy Spirit’s residence in us. This is what qualifies us to put on the Righteousness of Christ by which, through His Grace, you are blameless before God. From that moment moving forward, our lives stop belonging to ourselves, but to God.
'Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; He bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God's glory.' 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
This is the place where you want to go: not belonging to yourselves but to God. As long as you belong to yourselves, Satan can torment you as he wishes because you are still under the systems of the world - which belong to him. So essentially, you still belong to Him.
You cannot reach the complete freedom that Christ gives if you are still in the world and your life is under the influence of the devil. You need to stop belonging to yourselves - that is, to satan - and devote yourselves to belonging to God.
To make your repentance complete, there is still one thing that must be addressed: reversing the consequences of your rebellion against God.
You have not completed your repentance if you have not made amends to the people and fixed the situations that you destroyed in your rebellion, or else don’t bother praying to God or thinking that you can have a relationship with Him. These are not my words, but the Lord’s:
' “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. ' Matthew 5:23-24
It may cost you your reputation, as I know many of you are addicted to your public image - though it is a fabric of lies. It doesn’t matter if your “public”, your “audience”, or your “fans” don’t see you in the best light - this applies to your congregations too men and women of God, or that you completely lose their support, or have to completely disappear from the public eye. The public does not matter, what matters is your God and your relationship with Him. Go and fix the situation with the people you’ve hurt, cleanse your soul, and put yourself back in line with God.
It is failing to rectify and amend the effects of your sin that have maintained many of you in bondage. That is what Satan takes and presents to the heavenly council as evidence and it grants him the legal ground to imprison you in the realms of death.
The Lord has made it clear: if you do not settle matters quickly with people, you will pay a high price for the consequences, and rightfully so. Do what is right in God’s Sight, and do right by the people you’ve hurt. These are not my words, but the Lord’s:
' “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. ' Matthew 5:25-26
Thinking “I repented before God, He knows my heart” is not enough. Satan is counting on you not repenting completely so that He can continue to oppress you with cause. Repentance is only complete when you have rectified your behaviour and turned away from sin.
To get out of captivity, you must understand this truth: there is an actual council and there are courts in heavenly realms that God presides over. You must understand that God is a Judge and He leans on His eternal Word to judge everything according to His Righteousness. This is illustrated very clearly in Psalm 82:
'God presides in the great assembly; He renders judgment among the “gods”: ' Psalms 82:1
We serve a just God. Our God is the One who judges all, and He judges according to His Righteousness. He judges justly.
'God is a righteous judge, a God who displays His wrath every day. ' Psalms 7:11
You cannot get out of right standing with God and get away with it. The Lord in His Righteousness, rebukes those who do evil and do not rectify their behaviour. He does not condone injustice and calls out those who defend the unjust and their wickedness.
“How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked. ' Psalms 82:2-4
We cannot continue to defend the unjust and continue to dwell in sin and think that because we said “Jesus is Lord” we are free of the consequences of our behaviour.
God expects that we be the defenders the just and the ones who show no partiality to the wicked, not the ones to engage in wickedness.
God expects that we be the ones to fight for justice. He is expecting us to be upholding the case of the oppressed, not to be the oppressed, nor to be the ones to be oppressing other people.
God expects us to be the ones to rescue the weak and needy, not be the weak and the needy.
God expects us to defend the weak and the fatherless, not be the weak and the fatherless.
There are several occasions in the bible where men of God were brought before His council to be accused by Satan and judged by God. For example: Joshua the high priest. You want to be positioned in right standing with God (righteousness) so that when Satan accuses you, the Lord will not rebuke you, but He will rebuke him, the devil.
'Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord , and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord , who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” ' Zechariah 3:1-2
Stop with the “only God can judge me mentality” that you take as an excuse to hurt people and think that you can get away with it because you said a prayer and “His Grace is sufficient”. Actually, yes - only God can judge you, and He will judge you. Trust me, you don’t want to land on the wrong end of His judgement.
Satan is counting on you continuing to think this way so that you never completely repent and get your sins atoned for, therefore remaining under the judgement of the law. This is how he accuses you and gets legal jurisdiction to imprison and oppress you.
That’s why the bible calls Satan an “accuser” because he searches your life to find things to bring before God as a valid cause for the penalty of sin, which is death. That is how you end up legally trapped.
Satan knows that God cannot not keep His Word because of His Holiness and His Righteousness, so he is constantly tempting you, seducing you, and searching for your weaknesses before he files cases in court against you. He digs into your life to find things that go against the Word of God so he can collect evidence to build a strong case against you that he knows he will win - if you have not repented completely.
Winning a case against you before God means the sanction for your sin is legal and will be applied to your life, and you can’t blame anyone for it but yourself. This is why you are still held captive and your life is not going the way it should be. This is why your life is leaking and you live in bondage.
Here comes the good news, friends!
Jesus died for our sins so that when the devil brings a case against us, our Lord shows up to intercede on our behalf and puts forward His blood as evidence that there has already been a ruling on the case - an atonement for the sin - that Satan is bringing against you. So God in His justice rejects the case and you are spared. Phew!
'because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, ' Romans 8:1-2
Without real and complete repentance, when Jesus steps in to intercede and put His Blood before the just Judge as atonement for your sin, Satan can use the legal cause of lack of repentance to argue that you are not qualified to benefit from the atonement because you have not repented and cleansed yourself from that sin.
This is how generations upon generations of families get afflicted by the devil and inherit the iniquity of their forefathers and God cannot rebuke him because no one in the bloodline ever truly repented of that sin. No one ever went through the necessary cleansing to remove the iniquity from the bloodline so that no further cases could be brought against them.
Become that person for your family today.
Repentance is what gives legal grounds for Jesus's sacrifice to be applied to the case before the just Judge. It is only by repentance that the blood of Jesus cleanses us. Repentance is the forerunner of cleansing, and it is cleansing that makes you blameless in God’s Sight.
Most of us do not need to seek miracle workers and casting-out-demons prophets and pastors to be free from the forces of darkness. What casting out demons does is provide temporary relief from the pain, but it doesn’t get you out of prison.
You men and women of God who do deliverance may have experienced this: sometimes in your deliverance services, you are delivering the same people every day, or they come back after some time to be delivered again, and you wonder how they keep being possessed. The same people tell you they keep struggling with the same sin even though they have the will to follow Christ. The same struggles in one household that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how much you pray. The same illnesses coming back into people’s lives that you get miraculously healed just a few weeks and months ago.
This is not a matter of the will or casting out demons, it is a matter of the legal battles in heavenly realms. When you gain true liberty from darkness, those demons, sicknesses, etc. have to go too, they are included in the deliverance package.
What most of us need is a profound confession of sin and deep repentance so that it can be recorded in the heavenly courts that your imprisonment is now illegal, and your bondage will become an abomination to God’s Word because Jesus will show up and say: “I have already paid the price. They have repented and have been cleansed by my blood. Let them go now.”. Then God in His justice will rule in your favour and send His hosts to serve a letter of release on your behalf to the prison guards in realms of darkness. You are now free!
As you understand what we are discussing now, the Light of Christ, which is the truth, is shining on you and erasing the ignorance with which the devil has kept you captive for years. This is how you are set free. But it is not enough to just receive the knowledge and understand it, you have to put it into practice.
Go now and sift through your life and your bloodline to identify the iniquities and sins that have been plaguing you. Repentance means that as you identify that sin, you investigate it to know the source of the ignorance inside you and your family that has caused this iniquity to persist and continue to afflict you and your bloodline.
Conditions and illnesses science has labelled as “hereditary” illnesses are truly generational curses and deep spiritual captivity that stem from iniquities that have taken root in the bloodline and were never atoned for. Things like addictions, chronic divorce and dysfunctional family structures are the most common. Bondage in sexual sin and the inability to resist lust is another very common one. Sexual immorality is usually rooted in generational iniquity.
All of the illnesses that doctors tell you that you are “predisposed' ' to potentially have because your parents or grandparents had it are deep bloodline bondages that only manifest as a sickness in the physical realm but are rooted in something else.
Pride, greed and gluttony are infused in us in childhood by our parents who are in bondage themselves and are trained in darkness, so all they can give us is the darkness (ignorance) that they inherited. By the time we become adults, we have been so trained in the ways of the world and its darkness that we may well be the devil himself.
You and your family need deep cleansing, and it starts with confession of sin and complete repentance from that sin.
Protect your children from enduring the same captivity you endured, get to know the truth of Christ and repent! Be the last one to have to suffer in this iniquity and become the tool the Lord will use to redeem your entire bloodline.
Ask the Lord to show you, to tell you, to expose to you the truth about your bondage. Pray to Him that He may reveal to you the source - the root - of all of the evil in your life and the source of your sins so that you can break free once and for all.
Repent and stop the leak!
Heavenly Father, thank you for your knowledge, your understanding, and your divine wisdom Lord, that you share with us out of love and out of a deep desire to see your children free from the captivity of darkness.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that your people may receive the words they have read today in their spirits, my Lord.
Father, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that your Holy Spirit in me, may reach out through the words I write and wake them up from the deep sleep that the enemy and the systems of this world have put them in.
Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that in your Mercy, you may shine a light on the darkness and the holes in their lives that the devil uses to steal, kill and destroy them every day.
I pray, Mighty God, that in putting into practice what Your Word says, they will be drawn closer to You, they will confess their sins, repent, and be cleansed by the Holy Blood of Jesus to qualify for His Light to dwell in them, in the name of Jesus Christ.
I implore you, my King, to give them a spirit and a heart that longs to know and apply your Truth so that they may be set free, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord, I declare in the name of Jesus, that the leak in their lives is stopped, and the holes that were pierced in them by iniquity are completely cut out as they turn their hearts to you today, Father.
Lord, please usher us into your presence, give us access to your Light and qualify us to bear good fruit, for Your Name’s Sake, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you, Father, because I know that you have heard my prayer and I declare that it is done.
It is in the name of Jesus Christ, in all His Might, that we prayed, Amen.
Tomorrow we will dive deeper into this last section of Psalm 82 which will address the lies of the enemy that we have accepted as the truth, so that we may gain the right mindset for our freedom to be complete.
'“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
“I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.” ' Psalms 82:5-7
With Love,
Elvira
