A heavenly court was in session in May 2015 on the topic of genetically modified life.  At the time, deliberations were taking place.  For the verdict rendered by the Heavenly court to be carried out on Earth, that verdict must be declared on Earth.  It is up to the human community to do this.

In 1952, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me in a vision and talked to me for about an hour and a half about the devil, demons, and demon possession.

At the end of that vision, an evil spirit that looked like a little monkey or elf ran between Jesus and me and spread something like a smoke screen or dark cloud.

Then this demon began jumping up and down, crying in a shrill voice, “Yakety-yak, yakety-yak, yakety-yak.” I couldn’t see Jesus or understand what He was saying.

(Through this entire experience, Jesus was teaching me something. And if you’ll be attentive, you’ll find the answer here to many things that have troubled you.)

I couldn’t understand why Jesus allowed the demon to make such a racket. I wondered why Jesus didn’t rebuke the demon so I could hear what He was saying. I waited a few moments, but Jesus didn’t take any action against the demon. Jesus was still talking, but I couldn’t understand a word He was saying—and I needed to, because He was giving instructions concerning the devil, demons, and how to exercise authority.

I thought to myself, Doesn’t the Lord know I’m not hearing what He wanted me to? I need to hear that. I’m missing it!

I almost panicked. I became so desperate I cried out, “In the Name of Jesus, you foul spirit, I command you to stop!”

The minute I said that, the little demon hit the floor like a sack of salt, and the black cloud disappeared. The demon lay there trembling, whimpering, and whining like a whipped pup. He wouldn’t look at me. “Not only shut up, but get out of here in Jesus’ Name!” I commanded. He ran off.

The Lord knew exactly what was in my mind. I was thinking, Why didn’t He do something about that? Why did He permit it? Jesus looked at me and said, “If you hadn’t done something about that, I couldn’t have.”

That came as a real shock to me—it astounded me. I replied, “Lord, I know I didn’t hear You right! You said You wouldn’t, didn’t You?”

He replied, “No, if you hadn’t done something about that, I couldn’t have.”

I went through this four times with Him. He was emphatic about it, saying, “No, I didn’t say I would not, I said I could not.”

I said, “Now, dear Lord, I just can’t accept that. I never heard or preached anything like that in my life!”

I told the Lord I didn’t care how many times I saw Him in visions—He would have to prove this to me by at least three scriptures out of the New Testament (because we’re not living under the Old Covenant, we’re living under the New). Jesus smiled sweetly and said He would give me four.

I said, “I’ve read through the New Testament 150 times, and many portions of it more than that. If that is in there, I don’t know it!”

These are the scriptures that Jesus provided to Kenneth Hagin:

“The word ‘power’ means ‘authority.’ But I immediately delegated my authority on earth to the Church, and I can work only through the Church, for I am the Head of the Church.”

He said, “The very first sign mentioned as following any believer—not any pastor or any evangelist—is that they shall cast out devils. That means that in My Name they shall exercise authority over the devil, because I have delegated My authority over the devil to the Church.”

The verse should read, “The Father hath delivered us from the authority of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” God already has delivered us from the authority of darkness! Therefore, we’ve got a right to speak to darkness—that is, Satan and his kingdom—and tell them what to do!

So, whatever part in this pandemic Satan and his kingdom have, we have the authority to command them to cease and desist.  Not only did the Church (its people) inherit this authority from Jesus, but we also have a Heavenly verdict in the matter.

For Heaven’s will to be done on earth, we must use our inherited authority as Christians and speak Heaven’s verdict into being.
