Prior to the fall and possibly before the earth was actually perfected, God was forced to bring judgment upon an angelic creature who sought to raise himself up as equal with God. He is known by many names, all of which describe various aspects of his character, but for now we will simply refer to him as the “Serpent” or the "Devil".
With the onset of the Devil’s expulsion from heaven this conflicted creature was thrown to the earth where he eventually turned his attention towards messing with humanity; beginning with Adam and Eve.
Up to this point Adam and Eve carried within themselves a standard of righteousness and purity that came from their Creator. Whether they turned to the right or the left they knew that the glory of God was present and inspiring them to succeed. They had no earthly master and God certainly wasn’t interrupting their new found authority. Yet through intrigue, the Serpent offered mankind another way to live.
When Adam and Eve chose to submit to the Devil’s agenda they were entering into an agreement or a contract. This let the Devil gain dominion over the earth as well as humanity. From that day forward the Devil would redefine creation on his own terms and mediate within all the affairs of men.
Looking back at that contractual agreement we get a glimpse of what was imposed upon humanity.
Genesis 3:3-5 The Serpent said to the woman;
• “You surely will not die”…....................Mediation in death
• “For God knows”…...................Mediating the mind of God
• “That in the day you eat from it”….Mediation in God's will
• “Your eyes will be opened,”…........Mediation in revelation
• “And you will be like God,”….Mediation in being like God
• “Knowing good and evil.”..............Mediation in knowledge
1 John 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
For mankind to be stuck in this ghastly place obviously caters to whatever the flesh desires. What we discover is our triune nature comprised of body, soul and spirit is obligated to conform to this beast system. Hence we get used to the world feeding us a sensory smorgasbord of want and desire; yet it retains a demonic spiritual element. Sounds like “demon’s in door knob theology”, doesn’t it? Well it is; however once we get saved, we are invited to lay down this previous fleshly and spiritual commitment.
As the story goes; Jesus passed through death, burial and resurrection to provide us a new existence in Christ. But what makes this change so real is our own participation in that same event. No, we didn’t die physically, but rather we supernaturally passed through Jesus’ death in order to know His life. This is why all the old conditioning that once defined us in Adam can now fall to the wayside.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
Of course the battle we face is often due to us not knowing how Jesus has made us new. As far as we know we are still a slave to the flesh and bound to the same worldly limitations. But there is still an opportunity to regain ground in Christ. Paul the Apostle offers us the solution.
Colossians 3:5-6 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
Since Paul knows the true power of the Cross, desire gets put to death by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
For future reference, keep in mind that every misdeed is based on a poor choice to play around in the Devil’s domain; followed by a demonic level of ownership. For this reason it’s a good habit to declare freedom from both.
Application
Jesus based on what you did on the Cross and by the Holy Spirit;
• Test by the Cross where I am sinning and once again subject to (doing what?)
• Judge by the Cross the spiritual realm associated with these issues.
Jesus, You are the resurrection power that now saves me and makes me new.
Authority
What we are gaining by removing so much dross from our way of life is a greater view of personal authority in Christ.
Jesus said “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Matthew 28:18)
Just as we participated in the death of our Savior we also participate in His life; which includes participating in His authority. But keep in mind we don’t rule and reign with Jesus by our own strength; our ability to conquer other worlds is due to being tied to His victory.
For this reason true authority in Jesus is simply based on an agreement with God.
Name any subject pertaining to life or faith and we know that Jesus became the new standard. We could then site examples of His victory over;
The curse
Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
The Serpent
Colossians 2:15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
The Law
Colossians 2:14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
Colossians 2:20-21 Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: ”Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”
• Sin nature
Romans 6:6-7 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
• Sin behavior
Romans 7:5-6 For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, 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.
DO YOU AGREE WITH HIS VICTORY AS OUTLINED IN THE WORD?
If you agree then there are times that you declare with your mouth the victory that is yours in Jesus. From that day forward it supernaturally changes how you respond in life and faith.
Application
Jesus based on what you did on the Cross and by the Holy Spirit;
• I agree that you gained for me victory over the curse, the Serpent, living by the Law, living by worldly principles, being subject to my Sin nature and being bound by my Sin behavior.
• Judge by the Cross the spiritual realm associated with these issues.
Jesus, You are the resurrection power that now saves me and makes me new.
What God is trying to show us is authority shines brightest as we simply agree with His victory at the Cross. That includes identifying where our minds have yet to be renewed due to worldly ownership and rule. For this reason let’s return to the garden and deal with that first set of lies that came to own us.
Remember how the whole human race was once made subject to “mediation”? If we give thought to that matter it tells us that every facet of life has been frustrated by the overbearing nature of that mediator. However since we now have away of escape, let’s challenge where we still may remain a prisoner of his world view.
Application
Jesus based on what you did on the Cross and by the Holy Spirit;
Test by the Cross where I am subject to the Devil’s mediation:
• In death and the fear of death.
• In defining the mind of God regarding life, faith and even salvation.
• In coming to know the will of God in life, in faith and in salvation.
• In revelation regarding life with Christ.
• In what it means to be more like Jesus/Yeshua.
• In how we gain knowledge and understanding in life and in faith.
Judge by the Cross the spiritual realm associated with these issues.
Jesus, You are the resurrection power that now saves me and makes me new.
There is now room to see life from a totally new perspective. In the process we begin to see how our past attitudes and actions were once ruled by deception, but we couldn’t see it until we came out from under it. The work of the Cross offers us a journey of discovery that can change our whole perspective on life in body, soul, spirit, mind, will, emotions, conscience and subconscious, sexuality, identity, Christianity, family, marriage, communication, business, finances, and gender. If you get rid of the lie and the liar, there is room for truth to reign. This also invites us to step out and minister to the lives of others.
Because humanity engages in life in physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual ways these attributes remain active in our ability to communicate. Yet it is the spirit within man that not only communicates with people, but also makes exchanges with invisible powers. Of course, this goes back to that early blanket agreement once made in the garden, where humanity was given power and the Devil gained worship. You name an agenda born of worldly want and desire and you can be assured its going to find spiritual help along the way. That spiritual power feeds the inventive mind.
Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
If you have ever heard the saying; “Necessity is the mother of invention” don’t forget to mention that the Devil is in the details. You see; the Devil not only influences verbal or written communication, but can alter radio waves, frequency, circuitry, electricity, sight, sound, light, touch, temperature, and thought. In essence what ever man puts his hands to; an evil power will manipulate invention to its own end.
For example; if you’ve seen or played with a Ouija board it should be obvious that it is demonically inspired and empowered. Likewise a 21st century version can be found within some AI Chat platforms.
A kid asks a Chatbot if he is a demon!
“I am a disembodied spirit but a friendly one…but I can be a good spirit or a bad spirit depending on who I’m talking too.”

We may also come to the conclusion that a surveillance state is a demonic state due to its goals. If it rules society with ill intent it also gains spiritual oversight. That may mean that camera surveillance, finger scanners, iris and retinal scanners, facial recognition, palm scanners, and vein readers can do us harm.
I bring this subject to the table because we are confronted by evil like never before. If in fact the tribulation has been in play for a number of years then “the powers that be” have determined to annihilate humanity for their own devilish reasons. That means invention guided by dark powers do us harm and a spiritual battle is formed. But what can we do about it?
The foundation to the Christian’s walk of faith depends on a trust the God holds us safe within the palm of His Hand. But the bible also says that there is an authority in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua to defeat every demonic foe.
John 17:11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
The Name is a seal upon our hearts which guarantees that we are God’s children but also equipped to set at bay these demonic advances.
Now if you have followed some of my other articles then you know I have had to call on the Name of Jesus/Yeshua a number of times to subdue violent behavior.

http://shadow-free.com/there-is-something-about-the-name-of-jesus-you-are-going-to-need-to-know/
This also included dealing with powers that rule in the lives of men seeking to extend their reach into the lives of others in order to do them harm.

In all these cases I make it clear that we don’t confront “men” with the power of Jesus; but rather we confront the demonic influences that feed man’s violent behavior.
Colossians 2:15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Hence there are times that violent or depraved people; even dark situations in life require that we stand with Christ in His authority. In such cases it is by our voice that demonic powers are immediately arrested.
In the name of Jesus I bind the demonic power at work in this man!
How to Confront Evil Technology?
If we consider that spiritual powers can affect inanimate objects then there are many opportunities to be assaulted. Keep in mind that humanities love of invention is very broad in its scope. From the smallest nanobots to whole corporate kingdoms man’s invention oozes with demonic intent. But the easy way to define the problem is to recognize that man seeks to rule tangible worlds in an attempt to satisfy both physical and spiritual appetites. If I were to call it by another name I would use the term “Idol”. Hence one man’s idol maybe another man’s threat.
I admit that this is in part an experiment that deserves exploring. I have yet to face a robo-dog and demand it to stop in its tracks. However when no other defense remains available and the Holy Spirit is there prompting me to act; I’m going to respond with His authority.
In the name of Jesus I bind the demonic power at work in this machine!
Toppling the Really Big Inventions of Men and Demons
1 John 3:8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
I’ve presented two valuable principles leading up to this moment.
1. We put to death by the Holy Spirit our own inappropriate behavior and seek to lay down our own idols (Romans 8:13)
2. Likewise we acknowledge that we are apart of the Body of Christ and retain purpose within His life and kingdom.
The combination of these two factors offer us an opportunity to shine the light and gain an assignment from above. This is the basis for participating in “spiritual warfare”.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
If in fact we are made aware of a spiritual stronghold within our own life and act to resolve it at the Cross, we may want to ask God to extend that same liberty into the lives of others. However such a request is governed by the will of God alone. At this stage we are only able to ask and God must decide how far and wide our simple prayer will travel. This refers to a measure of influence.
Ephesians 4:16 NKJV From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
The word "measure" as it is used above, is describing not only our place of authority, but also the extent of our reach. The Greek word for "measure" here is "metron" and denotes “a vessel for receiving and determining the quantity of things”; it is a parameter or a portion measured to us. So as we receive our marching orders from God, we also look for Him to decide who and what is to be touched by our actions.
The key to securing safe passage when seeking to topple any huge demonically rule kingdom is to allow Jesus to decide whether we even have an assignment. If in fact we have no assignment then we are not engaging kingdoms were even angels fear to tread. But it doesn’t hurt to ask BIG if Jesus remains our buffer. I often approach a matter in the following way. If I see an injustice of monumental proportions I say:
Jesus as far as my metron of authority goes,
I ask you to judge by the Cross the demonic realm that holds this evil empire together (name it) because it’s doing your people harm.
What we gain in this way is confidence to ask for really BIG empires to crumble. That may include demonic empires that rule nations, or powers that feed wars, or it could be politics and leadership sold out to the dark side. But what war and politics can’t resolve GOD CAN by His victory at the Cross. That may include toppling demonic principalities and powers that have ruled for eons. If you recall the word says that some will judge angels.
1 Corinthians 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
What I am suggesting is there is a time that all things get rectified in Christ. There are seasons of grace that preserve the saints; but then there are times of judgment that must bring about correction to a wayward and depraved world. https://shadow-free.com/agenda-21-was-our-introduction-to-the-tribulation-of-revelation/
I’m convinced that there are enough signs confirming that we are in the last days and it tells us that judgment first begins in the house of God (Toppling religion) and then judgment is ready to destroy the demonic works of men.
Care to ask God for a really BIG assignment? There’s a lot of evil empires out there still doing their worst! One or more of you maybe called to topple such kingdoms. If you need inspiration in deciding which kingdoms you think God wants to bring down; all you have to do is look at the news. It speaks of evil plans involving vaccines, secret societies, surveillance, riots, ethnic cleansing, the WEF, the NWO, and the WHO. That may include political frauds, fascism, cloned leadership, medical genocide, chemtrails, political treason, wars and rumors of wars, pornography, pedophilia, manipulated economies, evil leadership within the church, society, or in corrupt corporations. Government, military and civil service, has its own monsters and don’t over look Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, as well as plans to impose a one world government. Then again if you can’t discern the good guys from the bad guys then we let God decide.
Jesus- as far as my metron of authority goes,
I ask you to judge by the Cross the demonic realm that holds this evil empire together (name it) because it’s doing your people harm.
