Summary

'That is the ideal towards which Ahriman is striving: to destroy the individuality of human beings in order, with the power of human thinking, to transform the earth into a web of gigantic thought spiders – but real spiders. That is the ahrimanic goal from which we must escape by really imbuing ourselves with the spirit Word: "Not I, but the Christ in me".' – Rudolf Steiner These majestic lectures speak of the threefold human being – of body (head, heart and hands), soul (thinking, feeling and will), and spirit (waking, dreaming and sleeping). Such holistic concepts challenge the acute dangers of polarisation, of twofoldness – being bound to the earth through dead thought on the one hand (the ahrimanic) and taken up into states of fantasy on the other (the luciferic). The challenge, says Rudolf Steiner, is always to see the intermediary or balancing force, the Christ being, in every context.  Steiner refers to the conclusions of the Ecumenical Council of 869 AD, that human beings consist only of body and soul. Now, he says, we are entering a period where even the soul is denied in favour of the physical brain. In contrast, he presents a vision of evolving humanity in the broader context of a cosmos that reaches to realms of existence beyond even space and time.  This previously-unpublished course of lectures ­– released in tandem with the twin course in CW 206 – features an introduction by William Forward, notes and an index. Thirteen lectures, Stuttgart, Bern & Dornach; June–July 1921, GA 205

    Isaiah 66:15- ‘’For behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.’’ 
    The term “fire of God” is often used symbolically in the Bible to portray the presence of God, the power of God, His judgment, His purifying work and, as His emblem of the anointing. 
    Fire is a strange and fearful weapon. No power can come against the fire of God and not get roasted and burn to ashes. The dragon can survive anywhere but cannot survive in the fire. When your life carries the fire of God you will be too hot for the devil, to handle. If you notice backwardness, manipulation, prayerlessness, oppression in the dream, it is an indication of the fact that your fire has gone out. You need to come to the presence of God for fresh fire. The fire of God will help you preserves your  life, career, business, and ministry. It will also consume your enemy.

    Money is one of the major needs of the body of Christ today. As a believer the moment you got born again, you need money to serve Jehovah. 
    Divine prosperity, riches, and wealth are from God. Proverbs 8:18, says, ‘’Riches and honor are with me, yea durable riches and righteousness.’’. God is the only one that can bring financial blessings to His children. Haggai 2:8, ‘’ The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. 
    As believers, we can declare and decree the word of God into the spiritual atmosphere and command financial prosperity and wealth to manifest in our lives. 
    Biblical prophetic decree is a powerful tool in the school of spiritual warfare. We need faith when we do this because faith is the hope of things yet unseen. 
    When we desire financial prosperity and wealth in our lives, then we need to keep confessing, decreeing and declaring the word of God into our prosperity until it becomes a reality in our lives. 
    God wants His children to be prosperous and wealthy in life so we may be a blessing to the nations. I want to encourage you to use these decrees every day and soon you will see the manifestation of a prosperous and wealthy life.

    In this book, Command the Morning, Day, and Night, we were given biblical counsel on how to take charge of our morning, day, and night to control our environments. Commanding your morning, day or night is to exercise authority or giving command invested upon believers by God, to say what will stand without negotiation, compromise, or prior agreement. The command creates barriers to frustrate everything satanic and wicked people do. Evil decrees or commands from agents of Satan can be reversed, but commands from God and his saints cannot be reversed without God's permission. Believers command can make or unmake things, kill or give life. All creatures were created by God's command, believers are authorized and empowered by God to imitate Him.
     
    This book provides you with biblical cutting-edge counsel and powerful declarations that will guide you in commanding your morning, day, and night. A closed mouth is a closed destiny!!
