Warfare and Deliverance—New Insight 157
portion of scripture in the Bible. Deuteronomy 28:1 states all kinds of
blessings to come upon those that will fully obey God’s word. One of
these blessings is found in verse 12 “The Lord will open the heavens,
the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and
to bless all the works of your hands.” As we read on to verse fifteen it
states that if people will disobey the Bible then all these curses will
come upon them. Then in verse 23 it lists as one of these curses “The
sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.” This
is the second type of gate of hell I want to discuss. This type of gate is
a closed gate that takes place in the second heaven and separates a
person, or people group, from God and his presence. While bronze
speaks of judgment, iron always speaks of war. Satan has a legal right
to petition God for a person or a nation that is in disobedience to God’s
word for there to be a bronze heaven placed over an area with a Principality
there to rule that area blinding people from the truth and making
war on the saints that try to do anything for God in that area.
Defeating this bronze heaven
The Bible gives us an incredible promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14. It states
“If my people, who are called by name, will humble themselves and
pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear
from heaven and forgive their sin and will heal their land. This is the
strategy to defeat this end time Babylonian government of satan.
The three fold plan of deliverance
As I mentioned earlier, there has to be a canceling of legal ground,
destroying the works of satan, and then driving out demons in deliverance.
This same pattern works for families, cities, or nations when it
comes to deliverance. Notice when Cyrus went to defeat Babylon, the
river Euphrates was dried up. This was an act of God and prophetic for
us today. The river Euphrates was the source of life and strength to
Babylon. When this dried up, their life and strength dried up with it. The
rivers of satan are rivers of death that come from unconfessed and
unrepentant sin. These sins are the life source of strength to our enemy.
If they are ever confessed and turned away from, the waters of
the enemy dry up. The Prophet Jeremiah in chapter 50 verse 38
speaks of the enemy’s waters being dried up. In other words, his legal
ground is canceled! God promised us as his people if we humble ourselves,
pray, seek his face, and turn from our wicked way he will hear
from heaven forgive our sins and heal our land. This is such a powerful
promise. We as God’s people can stand in the gap, between sinners
and God, and pray. God will forgive the sins of nations if his people
will confess them before God. Like Moses did in Exodus 32:7­14
