2001.10.1.04 Why Was It Necessary For The Grace Restraining Satan To Be Removed? Created by James3 on 7/25/2019 7:57:29 PM Why Was It Necessary For The Grace Restraining Satan To Be Removed?
BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
ABSTRACT: This article elaborates on the previous article regarding the withdrawal of the Grace which has restrained Satan in terms of 2 Thessalonians 2:7 and explains why this measure was required. This is directed at assisting readers to be better prepared to face the spiritual onslaught that is now come upon the world.
The article discusses the need for the believers who give the order to send Satan to the Pit to be without spot and blameless and points out that Yahshua is waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool. He will NOT make them His footstool, He requires US to do that using the authority that He won at Golgotha and then subsequently delegated to us. It is noted that currently all demons that are cast out and all principalities that are torn down should be sent to the Pit for a thousand years, immediately.
It is stressed that there is a scriptural requirement for believers to dwell above sin and that this is only possible if we abide in Yahshua which requires that Galatians 2:20, "executed with Messiah" becomes fully manifest in our lives. As long as a believer is sinning, he is a slave to sin and therefore a slave to Satan. As Satan's slave that believer will have no authority to send Satan to the Pit. Accordingly, at this time Yahweh is obliged to withdraw ALL consideration of extenuating circumstances and clemency in the Court of Heaven.
It is noted that every believer has indwelling them the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh and therefore more power than the most powerful make believe space ship that has ever been represented in movies. But believers are not walking in even a fraction of this power. A minute number are walking in close to the power that Yahshua demonstrated while on earth but none are walking in greater power. Conversely, millions of Satan's servants are walking in the full power available to them, even though this power is a minute fraction of the power available to believers. Yahweh cannot act against Satan as long as Satan's servants are diligent in wielding the power available to them effectively while Yahweh's servants are not.
It is also noted that the Seventh Day after creation has now commenced and that Yahweh will now rest while He waits for His children (the believers) to take authority over the earth. It is also noted that with any child, an age comes when a parent will no longer be prepared to intervene to help. It is reported that Yahweh has indicated that the current lack of maturity of the vast majority of believers is comparable to a sixty year old man still running to his father for help on a daily basis.

WHY WAS IT NECESSARY FOR THE GRACE RESTRAINING SATAN TO BE REMOVED?
The article 1A1.01.10.03 "The Grace Which Restrained Satan Has Been Removed (2 Thessalonians 2:7)" published on 12 October 2001 presented an intensely challenging picture and may well have given rise to the question "Why?".
Why was it necessary for Yahweh to remove the restraint on Satan in this age?
In order to understand this we must understand where we are in Yahweh's calendar.
We must also understand that there are numerous factors which make it impossible to accurately foretell the date of fulfilment of Yahweh's objectives with the exception of certain very limited and very specific dates and even then, we are likely to mistake the Scripture that is scheduled for fulfilment on that date. Yahweh's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts Isaiah 55:8-9 "8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. 9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." (NKJ).
Yahweh willing, further articles will follow which give the technical explanation behind the factors which have given rise to the current tribulation AND the measures that we should each take in order to overcome in the present age.
This article seeks to address the question of WHY WAS IT NECESSARY for restraint (grace) to be removed?
WHERE ARE WE IN YAHWEH'S CALENDAR
The article 1A1.01.09.04 "Vital Spiritual Principles Required To Understand What Was NOT Seen In The Attacks On The USA On Tuesday 11 September 2001" published on 19 September 2001 provided a number of key insights into the spiritual dynamics of the present age. Of particular importance to understanding the events of 9 October 2001 (the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles) when the Grace which has restrained Satan up until now was withdrawn so that Satan now has free reign on earth, is the exponential decay of mankind into evil over the past six thousand years, as presented in figures 3 and 4 of that article with particular emphasis on the recovery of good in the millennium, the thousand years which have just now commenced.
In order for this spiritual recovery of mankind to occur in the millennium, Satan must first be cast into the Bottomless Pit for a thousand years since Satan is the Father of all lies (John 8:44). As long as Satan roams the earth killing, stealing and destroying and giving direction to the billions of fallen angels and demons that are under his control, the headlong descent of man into ALL EVIL cannot be stopped. Currently the Father indicates that there are 500 demons on earth for every human being!
All the demons and fallen angels MUST ALSO be cast into the bottomless Pit for a thousand years. All believers should be actively engaged in this activity on a daily basis - demons and fallen angels can be sent to the Pit for a thousand years TODAY provided a believer with the necessary revelation of his authority takes the necessary measures to send them there. All believers engaged in deliverance SHOULD AS A MATTER OF COURSE SEND ALL DEMONS WHICH ARE CAST OUT TO THE PIT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!
Once Satan has been cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years in terms of Revelation 20:1-3 "1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while." (NKJ), THEN the events set out in Revelation 20:4-6 can take place "4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Yahshua and for the word of Elohim, who had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Messiah ({Christ} = the anointing of the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh) for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of Elohim and of Messiah ({Christ} = the anointing of the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh), and shall reign with the anointing a thousand years." (NKJ adjusted)
At this stage the exact meaning of "Christ" or "Messiah" is not central to understanding the point of this article. Yahweh willing, a subsequent article will discuss this aspect in greater detail.
Insofar as Satan is still very much at large and in control on the earth, as set out in article 1A1.01.09.02 "Satan Is Winning The Battle Hands Down: What Are YOU Going To Do About It?" published on 14 September 2001, we must at this time focus our attention on what is necessary to cast Satan into the Pit rather than to focus on what may happen AFTER Satan has been cast into the Pit!
WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR SATAN TO BE CAST INTO THE PIT?
The first thing that is required for Satan to be cast into the Pit is that a man or men must GIVE THE INSTRUCTION!
Genesis 1:27-28 "27 So Elohim created man in His own image; in the image of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."" (NKJ adjusted) makes it clear that mankind is to HAVE DOMINION.
However, mankind lost dominion to Satan almost immediately.
Yahshua came to earth in order to regain this authority, as set out in Matthew 28:18-20 "18 And Yahshua came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen." (NKJ). Yahshua made it clear, BECAUSE He had received ALL authority, He was giving that authority to us and therefore commanded us to GO!"
In Mark 16:15-20 we are given more detail "15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 "they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." 19 So then, after Adonai had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of Elohim. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, Adonai working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen." (NKJ adjusted) We are sent out IN THE NAME OF YAHSHUA, as His representatives. We must wield the covenant authority embodied in His Name "Yahshua" which means "the deliverance of Yah" in order to GIVE EFFECT to His victory!
Hebrews 10:12-13 tells us "12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of Elohim, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool." (NKJ adjusted). Since Yahshua is WAITING for His enemies to be made His footstool, He is CLEARLY NOT PLANNING TO COME AND MAKE THEM HIS FOOTSTOOL HIMSELF! WE have to do this in order to prepare the earth for His return!
Yet in 1 Peter 3:22 we read "who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of Elohim, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him." (NKJ adjusted) So again, we see that angels and authorities and powers have (past tense - i.e. ALREADY) been made subject to Yahshua. They have to obey us BUT we have to walk in that authority!
Currently, sin and lawlessness dominate the entire earth. However one measures sin, whether in extremely obvious measures such as the level of abortion, theft, murder, fornication, blasphemous language, etc or in terms of the less obvious sins (less obvious because they are IN THE BODY OF BELIEVERS AND ARE ALMOST UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED) such as the heresy of enforced monogamy, the use of the words "the LORD" instead of the true Name "Yahweh", the idolatry of denominations, the lack of respect for parents or the lack of sanctification and holiness (set apartness) amongst believers, the Body of believers today are NOT walking in the authority of Yahshua and are certainly not exercising authority over angels and authorities and powers in the heavenlies. Few believers walk in this authority to cast out demons on a regular and consistent basis, fewer still are consistently waging war against principalities, powers, thrones and dominions in the heavenly realm. Fewer still are actually commanding them to go to the Pit for a thousand years!
Consequently, for the most part, Satan roams the earth today almost entirely unhindered.
Romans 6:16 states "Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?" (NKJ). The Father has indicated that today the entire body of believers are SLAVES to sin! There is NO MAN RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE!
Romans 6:12-13 states "12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim." (NKJ adjusted) Clearly, it IS possible not to let sin REIGN in our flesh. This is supported by John 5:14 "Afterward Yahshua found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."" (NKJ adjusted). Since Yahshua told the man to "sin no more" it is possible! The message of "sin no more" is central to the ministry of T.B. Joshua, the man of Yahweh in Lagos Nigeria and is accompanied by Holy Spirit inspired gut wrenching recognition of and repentance from sin, massive Holy Spirit generated demonic deliverance combined with an infilling of the Holy Spirit associated with acceptance of Yahshua Messiah as personal Lord and Saviour and a total turning around in the life of new converts.
In 1 John 3:6 we read "Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him." (NKJ) Clearly IF we ABIDE in Him it IS POSSIBLE not to sin! But equally clearly this requires that we SEE Yahshua with our spiritual eyes AND THAT WE COME TO KNOW HIM!
A key aspect of this is to claim by faith and press in energetically toward the full manifestation of Galatians 2:20 ""I have been impaled ({crucified} / executed / put to death) with Messiah (the anointing of the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh / {Christ}); it is no longer I who live, but Messiah (the anointing of the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh / {Christ}) lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of Elohim, who loved me and gave Himself for me." (NKJ adjusted) But this requires daily sacrifice, daily examination of self in the mirror of the Word of Yahweh and daily crying out to Yahweh to judge one severely and correct one harshly in order to come to the place that is described in this verse of Scripture as a practical reality and not just an academic theory!
The Father has indicated that on the earth today not a single believer has reached the full manifestation of Galatians 2:20 on a sustained basis and for this reason the Body of Believers are walking in large measure in defeat today and Satan is reigning victorious as the mighty one (god) of this world and of most believers! A few are close to full manifestation of Galatians 2:20 but none have reached full manifestation.
It is only through believers who will seek the full manifestation of Galatians 2:20 in their lives, seek ALL truth by the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh and seek to gain a revelation of the authority that is inherent in the Name of Yahshua AND the power that is inherent in the presence of the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh who is resident, even if only at microscopic levels, in every true believer, that Satan will be cast into the Pit.
THE MINIMUM LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO CAST SATAN INTO THE PIT
In order to better understand the current situation and why the grace that has restrained Satan has had to be withdrawn, readers are again referred to the description of the Court of Heaven that has been presented in a number of articles, particularly in the article 1A1.01.01.01 "The Wrath of Yahweh for the Church: Why Judgment is Coming on the Church Today" (04 January, 2001).
Satan as the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:12) has full knowledge of the detailed legal workings of the Kingdom of Yahweh. He knows exactly what a believer can and cannot do and one thing is absolutely clear, Satan is NOT going to permit any believer to give the command in the Name of Yahshua for Satan to be cast into the Pit for a thousand years if that believer has sin in their lives OR if that believer gives the command in a name that is not absolutely definitively the TRUE NAME!
With this objective in mind, Satan has constantly spread deception and division in the Body of Believers in order to ensure that there is sufficient error and sin in every believer that none have the legal standing to send him to the Pit. Satan knows full well that if he is able to keep every believer in bondage to sin past the final date at which the legal mandate of mankind expires, Satan will reign on earth for eternity!
This is why the restoration of ALL TRUTH, by the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh is of such paramount importance in this age, as set out in the article 1A1.01.08.11 "The Evangelism Iceberg in 2001: Strategic Objectives Of The Kingdom Of Yahweh" (21 August, 2001).
This is ONE of the primary reasons why the Grace that has been restraining Satan had to be withdrawn on 9 October 2001. Before Yahweh can have Satan cast into the Pit, He has to stop protecting His (Yahweh's) people from the consequences of their sin. ALL EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES AND ALL CLEMENCY MUST BE WITHDRAWN!
It is not reasonable to expect that a believer can pray for Satan to be sent to the Pit for a thousand years and then, when Satan comes before the Throne of Yahweh and protests that the believer concerned has sin in their life, to tell Satan that "they don't know any better, they have believed your (Satan's) lie, so I (Yahweh) am extending grace to them" -- Satan would be reasonably entitled to expect THE SAME GRACE! For, after all, those who believe Satan's lies have made themselves SLAVES TO SATAN! (Romans 6:16). Yahweh cannot expect Satan's slaves (those who believe Satan's lies) to exercise authority over Satan to send him to the Pit. A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand (Matthew 12:25; Mark 3:24 and Luke 11:17).
One of Satan's most effective lies in this regard is that Yahshua will return to cast Satan into the Pit and that believers do not have the authority to send Satan to the Pit.
In order to send Satan to the Pit, believers are required to be without spot and blameless!
2 Peter 3:13-15 "13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-- as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you," (NKJ)
ONE BELIEVER CONTAINS GREATER POWER THAN ALL OF THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS
As i was praying into the state of the world and my own life following the events of 9 October the Father confronted me with another factor behind the requirement for the Body of Believers to stand WITHOUT GRACE before Satan can be cast into the Pit.
He reminded me of the giant Space Stations in movies like "Star Trek", "Star Wars" and "Battle Star Galactica". Massive machines the size of a small planet with nuclear drives capable of propelling them to the speed of light within seconds and massive nuclear armaments. The Father stated to me "every true believer who has My Set Apart Holy Spirit indwelling them has more power in them than one of these imaginary space ships". He then reminded me of His statement last week that there are currently only five men on earth walking in an anointing roughly comparable to that under which Yahshua walked the earth and only three of them are actually operating in close to the power that Yahshua demonstrated. He made it clear to me that Yahshua had not exercised anything approaching the full power that was available to Him, the power which is intended to enable us to do GREATER WORKS THAN YAHSHUA DID! John 14:12 states ""Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." (NKJ)
The Father then went on to say "even the most heavily demonized of Satan's servants, those who are totally illuminated and controlled by powerful demons have access to only a MINUTE FRACTION of the power available to a believer, BUT millions of Satan's servants are walking in the FULL magnitude of the powers available to them! The result is that millions of Satan's servants are operating in greater power than virtually any of mine!" The Father then continued to remind me that He is "uncompromisingly righteous and just" and that it would be manifestly unjust for Him to intervene to support His own people who have access to orders of magnitude more power than Satan's servants when Satan's servants are being diligent and effective in the use of the powers available to them and Yahweh's servants are not!
For this reason, it is necessary for Yahweh to cease doing things to help out His servants in order that they may stand on their own feet and learn to harness and apply the MASSIVE power of Yahweh that is available through the Set Apart Holy Spirit indwelling them!
ON THE SEVENTH DAY YAHWEH RESTS
Yahweh has also pointed out that on the seventh day, that is in the seventh millennium, which has just begun (Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles 1996) He rests. In other words, He expects His servants now to be sufficiently mature and to be walking in sufficient revelation, authority and power that they can rule effectively on earth for the next thousand years WITHOUT Yahweh having to intervene directly. They must come to Him for counsel through the Set Apart Holy Spirit BUT THEY must exercise the authority that is available to them by releasing the Holy Spirit to work through them!
The spiritual principles applied by Satan's servants to enable the demons that have possession of them and which occupy the space created for the Set Apart Holy Spirit, are EXACTLY THE SAME principles that must be applied by believers in order to release the power of the Set Apart Holy Spirit within them!
We are now required to learn!
We have to stop going to Yahweh to sort out the mess this world is in and learn to apply the authority and power that is resident within each one of us in order to bring the Kingdom of Yahweh to earth!!
ALL CHILDREN MUST GROW UP EVENTUALLY
Another parallel that the Father gave me was to point out that by the time a man's son reaches the age of sixty years old, it is unreasonable for that son to still expect his father to do anything material to help him. A sixty year old man should have his own family and walk in his own authority, not still be turning to his father to help him out.
If we draw a parallel of ten man years to every millennium, then the extent to which believers still come to Father Yahweh bawling and squalling and asking for help and guidance (and in this the writer was severely rebuked as well) is totally unacceptable! In the same way, expecting the Father to undertake our battles on our behalf is also entirely unacceptable.
Mankind has had six thousand years to take dominion on earth. We have had two thousand years since Yahshua showed us THE WAY (HOW TO TAKE DOMINION), and suffered the most terrible death in order to relieve us of the need to bring animal sacrifices, in order to permit each one of us to be a priest in our own right, in order to transfer the Temple to reside in our own bodies so that we did not have to travel to Jerusalem, in order to purchase for us the authority to pray and issue commands in His Name with the authority that He won back from Satan through His death and resurrection and in order to provide the power of the Set Apart Holy Spirit of Yahweh resident in us in order to make it possible to live without sin and walk in victory. YET mankind today is more apostate, more sinful and more defeated by Satan than ANY GENERATION THAT HAS EVER LIVED PREVIOUSLY!!
We must therefore accept that if our own children behaved in such a grossly irresponsible way, we too would one day say 'ENOUGH, sink or swim on your own!'
The Father's patience with His rebellious children is exhausted, He has done all that He can to help us get the job of ridding the world of Satan and of sin done. Now He requires us to get the job done or perish in the attempt. Sadly, the vast majority of believers WILL perish in the next year and a half! And an enormous number of unbelievers will ALSO perish!
It is NOT the Father's will that any should perish 2 Peter 3:9 states "Yahweh is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." (NKJ adjusted), however, we have exhausted the Grace that has kept us from facing the consequences of our own disobedience, rebelliousness and slackness and those who must perish must perish! Very few who are currently believers will survive!
CONCLUSION
It is hoped that this provides a broader insight into why the grace restraining Satan has been withdrawn and is starting to give a clearer indication of the actions that we must take in order to overcome to the end of this age.

CLOSURE
It is hoped that this article provides a solid basis for readers to comprehend the reality and the immediacy of the consequences of the withdrawal of the Grace restraining Satan on 9 October 2001. There is no time to lose for believers to take all possible measures to sanctify themselves and set themselves apart unto Yahweh.
