The male Child is Christ who has been formed in the saints through the travail of the Church. These are God's eternal rulers, the firstfruits of the Church.

And they overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)

It is hard for us to believe, who have wrestled for so long against the wicked powers in the heavens, that there will come a day when the wrestling match has come to a victorious conclusion; when Satan has been pinned to the mat.

Yet, this victory shall be won. But it will not be won by the efforts of human beings but by the forming of Christ in human beings.

God is ready to roar out of Zion, but first He must be formed in Zion.

Of all the necessary efforts of our day the most important is the forming of Christ in the believers. No progress can be made toward the removal of the presence of sin from the creation until Christ has been formed in the saints.

All we do from this point forward should be conducted with the goal in mind of forming Christ in the saints. This goal should be given the highest priority in all that is done during the assembly of the saints.

We have the Father—perfect in holiness and righteousness.

We have Christ—perfect in holiness, righteousness, and obedience to God.

Now we have the firstfruits of the Church being made perfect in holiness, righteousness, and obedience to the Father until they are able to overcome the accuser so he may be hurled down from the heavens with his followers.

The only manner in which the firstfruits of the Church can be made perfect in holiness, righteousness, and obedience to the Father is by submitting to the process of crucifixion with Christ so that Christ may live in them. The Holy Spirit is ready to bring whoever will agree to the program through every process necessary for the complete and perfect formation of Christ in them.

The time is now. Are you willing? Will you forsake all in order that the Spirit may form Christ in you? What is your answer? God is waiting.

The Penetration of Satan Into the Heavens and the Casting Down to the Earth of the Stars of God

God forgives and covers sin, then suppresses its actions, and finally brings it out into the light that it may be completely destroyed and removed.

We saw this pattern in the incident at the Cave of Makkedah.

God is ready now to shake the heavens and the earth in order to bring sin out into the light that it may be destroyed and removed from the creation.

You may discover, if you have been a Christian for many years, that the sin and rebellion of your personality that you thought had left a long time ago are now lifting up their heads in you. God is preparing to destroy them from your personality.

The process of exposing sin will operate on a universal scale.

To be continued.
