THIRD HEAVEN AUTHORITY
“Over the years God ingrained in me the reality of my true identity and position in Christ. He began to show me the reality of New Covenant spiritual warfare. As believers we are not fighting a spiritual battle for victory. We are fighting from victory. There is a big difference! I began to really see what Christ accomplished on the cross. Col 2:15 says, “God disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].” The enemy is truly defeated! Eph 1:21 teaches we are now seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, far above all power and principality and every name that can be named in this age and in the age to come. Through the blood of Christ we have been given access to live from a third heaven reality. A reality of victory, love, joy, peace and constant overcoming spiritual power. We are not under demonic forces trying to breakthrough up to where God is. We are spiritually in the third heaven, far above these dark forces, establishing on the earth as it is already established in heaven.” (“Living From The Third Heaven” Matt Sorger)
FIRST HEAVEN:
The first heaven is where birds and planes fly. According to NASA, it extends 62 miles above the earth.
“The first heaven — the one God created when He created the heaven and the earth on day one. The second heaven (firmament) — the heaven God called into being (“let there be”) and put “in the midst of the waters,” with water above and below it. And the Third Heaven, which has always existed and is the dwelling place of God and all the heavenly host.” (Three Heavens? Where is the Third Heaven? By Shari Abbott, reasons for Hope * Jesus, Sept. 27, 2018)
Nehemiah 9:6 [And Ezra said],“You are the Lord, You alone; You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all their host (the heavenly bodies),The earth and everything that is on it, The seas and everything that is in them. You give life to all of them, And the heavenly host is bowing down [in worship] to You. NIV
Heb 4:14 Inasmuch then as we [believers] have a great High Priest who has [already ascended and] passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith and cling tenaciously to our absolute trust in Him as Savior]. NIV
Eph 4:10 He who descended is the very same as He who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He [His presence] might fill all things [that is, the whole universe]). NIV
SECOND HEAVEN
The second heaven is comprised of the planets, galaxies and stars.
Gen 1:14, 16, 19 Then God said, “Let there be light-bearers (sun, moon, stars) in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be useful for signs (tokens) [of God’s provident care], and for marking seasons, days, and years; God made the two great lights—the greater light (the sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night; He made the [galaxies of] stars also [that is, all the amazing wonders in the heavens]. And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. NIV
Gen 15:5 And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “Look now toward the heavens and count the stars—if you are able to count them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be
There is spiritual warfare here on the earth but the Bible tells us that there is spiritual warfare in the second heaven. Daniel 10:12-14 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” NIV
THIRD HEAVEN
The Third heaven is where the throne of God is. It is where the heavenly hosts dwell.
Isa 6:1-4 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw [in a vision] the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, with the train of His royal robe filling the [most holy part of the] temple. 2 Above Him seraphim (heavenly beings) stood; each one had six wings: with two wings he covered his face, with two wings he covered his feet, and with two wings he flew. 3 And one called out to another, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.”4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke. NIV (Three Heavens? Where is the Third Heaven? By Shari Abbott, reasons for Hope * Jesus, Sept. 27, 2018)
THIRD HEAVEN PEOPLE
“This is a pivotal and important season for the Body of Christ. This is your day of destiny! The Kingdom of Heaven is invading earth. He needs His people to be led by the Spirit. So set aside old agendas, and pick up God’s agenda. He is calling us up to be 3rd Heaven people. He is teaching us how to navigate the heavenlies. We are a Supernatural people!
So many people are looking for God, and not sure where to find Him. But when we choose to live in the Glory, people can see it! They experience it! They not only experience the Glory, but they experience God’s love.” (Mike & CK Thompson “Third Heaven People! Embrace Your Day! 2012)
THIRD HEAVEN AUTHORITY
Third heaven authority is praying from victory. It is spiritual authority in which we, as believers, have over the enemy. (the devil) We are seated at the Right Hand of the Father through Christ Jesus!
Ephesians 2:6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
1. Pray in obedience to the Word of God in the “Name of Jesus.”
2. Pray while consciously seeing yourself above looking down on the situation, the circumstances and praying for things down below.
3. Yield to the Holy Spirit’s ability to catch you away in the Spirit with dreams, visions, anointings, the Glory of God and then pray from there. (Teaching from the video, “Third Heaven” by Mike Thompson)
