Discipling Angels

As I have begun to theory craft this idea the question has come up quite a bit that begs "ok but what is that?" Alas, I cannot just leave it and decide to say "well you just need to receive the revelation for it." While I wish I could say that, I have a moral responsibility to sit down and receive revelation for it first and foremost, and the way that that tends to happen is by writing or talking with someone about the idea in general. That is not to say that you shouldn't go forward with receiving revelation from the Lord for yourself, because at the end of the day that is the ONLY thing that matters. The word of God is more valuable than bread, and if you are not receiving the word of God, you are not totally submitted to Him. Meaning, you're submitted to the lie that you cannot hear his voice, or that He doesn't care about you, or because of a demonic entity that you have more or less consciously interacted/submitted with, and received from.

At the base of such a theology around discipling angels surrounds the idea of Dominions, Authorities, and Territories of Heaven. As we see from Deuteronomy we know that these assigned beings are given the territory by the sovereign God to His sons. Often these territories are expressed by nations, empires, cities, towns, and so on. Each city has it's own angel, just as each country has its' own angel assigned to it. It can and should be stated that the angels of each typically want the will of the Lord, however, there is a reason that Paul tells Timothy that he must avoid people who believe in, and follow the doctrines of demons (fallen angels).

Now let me define "discipling" in the way that I understand it. As you can see in the English language "disciple" and "discipline" are very similar in their roots. There are plenty of proverbs that speak specifically of fathers disciplining or 'discipling' with a rod of iron so as to not suffer the shame of their sons' behavior.  I think this is what God is getting at with this idea, that as Sons of God we have been equipped to "discipline" or Judge angels, as Paul commands of the Corinthian church.

So what? How are we to use this rod? How are we to command and discipline angels who we perceive as walking in more holiness than even we are capable of as humans? Well, first off, get Holy. You have no excuses, you have THE Son of God on your side, all of Heaven, AND  the Holy Spirit. Quit receiving doctrine of demons that you have no authority or self-control, quit telling yourself that you're awful. God designed you to Disciple Angels. Receive THAT. Over the next few weeks, I'll begin posting about this more and more, and it's likely to get super advanced very quickly. however, it is of utmost importance to establish the foundation, and thus allow you to come back to a place where you can begin.
