Warfare <strong>and</strong> Deliverance—New Insight 157<br />
portion <strong>of</strong> scripture in the Bible. Deuteronomy 28:1 states all kinds <strong>of</strong><br />
blessings to come upon those that will fully obey God’s word. One <strong>of</strong><br />
these blessings is found in verse 12 “The Lord will open the heavens,<br />
the storehouse <strong>of</strong> his bounty, to send rain on your l<strong>and</strong> in season <strong>and</strong><br />
to bless all the works <strong>of</strong> your h<strong>and</strong>s.” As we read on to verse fifteen it<br />
states that if people will disobey the Bible then all these curses will<br />
come upon them. Then in verse 23 it lists as one <strong>of</strong> these curses “The<br />
sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.” This<br />
is the second type <strong>of</strong> gate <strong>of</strong> hell I want to discuss. This type <strong>of</strong> gate is<br />
a closed gate that takes place in the second heaven <strong>and</strong> separates a<br />
person, or people group, from God <strong>and</strong> his presence. While bronze<br />
speaks <strong>of</strong> judgment, iron always speaks <strong>of</strong> war. Satan has a legal right<br />
to petition God for a person or a nation that is in disobedience to God’s<br />
word for there to be a bronze heaven placed over an area with a Principality<br />
there to rule that area blinding people from the truth <strong>and</strong> making<br />
war on the saints that try to do anything for God in that area.<br />
Defeating this bronze heaven<br />
The Bible gives us an incredible promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14. It states<br />
“If my people, who are called by name, will humble themselves <strong>and</strong><br />
pray <strong>and</strong> seek my face <strong>and</strong> turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear<br />
from heaven <strong>and</strong> forgive their sin <strong>and</strong> will heal their l<strong>and</strong>. This is the<br />
strategy to defeat this end time Babylonian government <strong>of</strong> satan.<br />
The three fold plan <strong>of</strong> deliverance<br />
As I mentioned earlier, there has to be a canceling <strong>of</strong> legal ground,<br />
destroying the works <strong>of</strong> satan, <strong>and</strong> then driving out demons in deliverance.<br />
This same pattern works for families, cities, or nations when it<br />
comes to deliverance. Notice when Cyrus went to defeat Babylon, the<br />
river Euphrates was dried up. This was an act <strong>of</strong> God <strong>and</strong> prophetic for<br />
us today. The river Euphrates was the source <strong>of</strong> life <strong>and</strong> strength to<br />
Babylon. When this dried up, their life <strong>and</strong> strength dried up with it. The<br />
rivers <strong>of</strong> satan are rivers <strong>of</strong> death that come from unconfessed <strong>and</strong><br />
unrepentant sin. These sins are the life source <strong>of</strong> strength to our enemy.<br />
If they are ever confessed <strong>and</strong> turned away from, the waters <strong>of</strong><br />
the enemy dry up. The Prophet Jeremiah in chapter 50 verse 38<br />
speaks <strong>of</strong> the enemy’s waters being dried up. In other words, his legal<br />
ground is canceled! God promised us as his people if we humble ourselves,<br />
pray, seek his face, <strong>and</strong> turn from our wicked way he will hear<br />
from heaven forgive our sins <strong>and</strong> heal our l<strong>and</strong>. This is such a powerful<br />
promise. We as God’s people can st<strong>and</strong> in the gap, between sinners<br />
<strong>and</strong> God, <strong>and</strong> pray. God will forgive the sins <strong>of</strong> nations if his people<br />
will confess them before God. Like Moses did in Exodus 32:714
