**Everywhere the gospel is preached, we take dominion and authority, pushing back the very gates of hell.**   In today’s live broadcast, Joseph Z teaches about the origin of angels and celestial hierarchy.  He leads us to Hebrews 12:29 to establish that our God is a consuming fire, referencing Psalm 29:7 to explain how God’s voice divides the fire. This indicates that God assigns angels to their various roles. Interestingly, we learn that angels are described as flames of fire and ministering spirits to the heirs of salvation. He also cites Revelation 19:10 to address the question of whether angels can still rebel today. Joseph clarifies that while angels can rebel, they do not desire to because they have witnessed the punishment meted out to those who have.

Next, Joseph references Ephesians 1:21 and Colossians 1:16 to outline several forms of celestial powers: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and Angels. He explains that these beings are all forms of spiritual materials and substances, some of which may be higher in rank than others. He elaborates further, noting that Jesus stepped into the domain where a higher substance being (the devil) had taken authority through Adam. However, John 12:31 assures us that Jesus is now casting out the devil. Additionally, 1 John 3:8 confirms that Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil.   Joseph clarifies that the entire celestial battle became clearer when the gospel was given to the Ecclesia. The gospel is the ultimate means of breaking strongholds and overcoming wicked celestial powers. He assures us that God desires for us to stand against the wicked celestial hierarchy, and wherever the gospel is preached, we take dominion over the very gates of hell, for the gates of hell cannot overcome the Church.
