In this episode of Seniors & Grad Brethren Meeting, we examined fallen angels and their operations. It was established that God did not create hell. In the beginning, He created the height (where He placed heaven) and the depth (a space beneath the earth). After the devil and his angels rebelled, they were cast out of heaven and created hell in the depth. We saw that hell has different levels just like heaven does, because the devil replicated the order of heaven in hell.

Iniquity was not originally present when God created the heavens and the earth. Satan founded it, first in himself, when he began to seek a life of independence from God (Ezekiel 28:15-18). He then began to teach angels how to corrupt their ways to gain independence from God. They were cast out of heaven because they had already departed in their hearts.

In the Garden of Eden, Satan came through the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. By Adam’s disobedience, man’s authority on earth was delivered to the devil. Yet, Satan and fallen angels cannot fully express their dominion on earth without a physical body. Therefore, the devil has been teaching men how to corrupt their ways so he can express himself through them. But Satan will fall and lose his authority when a critical number of men overcome him (Revelation 12:5-9, Isaiah 14:12).

Satan, formerly known as Lucifer, was the only cherubim that fell. Some seraphims and first-heaven angels fell with him, too. The operations of these fallen angels can be categorized into two: demonic spirits and evil spirits. Demonic operations are physical, causing accidents, diseases, fights, and so on. Evil spirits war against growth in knowledge of God and ensure the corrupt ways in men remain intact. As believers, we have the right to cast out demons, but we must war with evil spirits by growing in the knowledge of God.

In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor taught us the other part of submission which can be seen in James 5:16. We saw the importance of brethren life in our faith journey (Numbers 24). We saw that the Lord uses it as a means to purify our love from worldly lusts and ungodliness. We also saw the differences between the love to all saints and the love of the brethren.

Additionally, we saw ways to help our heart towards our brethren. We saw the wisdom in having a lowly mind towards our brethren and not wanting to vaunt ourselves or have preeminence over our brethren as shown in Matthew 7:1-5.

In this episode of the Gadites USA Juniors meeting, our Pastor continued the series on “Understanding the Tabernacle and Spiritual Patterns,” building on the previous week’s foundation of recurring pairs in creation. He opened with a review of those patterns — heaven and earth, day and night, sun and moon, male and female — before advancing into the primary anchor text for this session: Psalm 103:19–22.

We began by establishing the reality of God’s throne in heaven, drawing from Revelation chapter 4. It was shown that the throne is not a mere chair but a vast, circular expanse, with the four living creatures (cherubims) positioned closest to the center, and the twenty-four elders seated round about in concentric arrangement. This physical, ordered setting in heaven was used to demonstrate that God is a God of deliberate structure, even in the unseen realm.

In addition, we explored the hierarchical structure of heavenly beings as outlined in Psalm 103:19–22. The passage was shown to describe three distinct classes of angelic beings in descending order from the throne: first, the angels that excel in strength (cherubims), who do His commandments; second, the hosts and ministers (seraphims), who do His pleasure; and third, the works in all places of His dominion, which correspond to the four subdivisions of principality, power, might, and dominion found in Ephesians 1 and Colossians 1.

Furthermore, we learned that the first two classes — cherubims and seraphims — possess what scripture calls “name,” meaning they have defined operations and functions. The third class, though real and significant, does not carry the same operational identity, which is why Paul described Jesus as being raised “far above every name that is named.” This distinction was shown to be consistent with the recurring pattern of two, as the third heaven is essentially an addendum to the second, preserving the foundational dual structure.

Ultimately, we saw that this entire heavenly architecture mirrors the structure of the Tabernacle — outer court, holy place, and most holy place — which will be explored in the following session. The teaching concluded by emphasizing that understanding the order of heaven is not abstract theology but directly relevant to the believer’s destiny, as the Father’s good pleasure is to give us His kingdom, qualifying us to become His habitation in the ages to come.

In this episode of the High School & Freshmen Brethren Meeting, we examined the work of the Holy Ghost in the life of the believer. It was established that the Holy Ghost makes the spirit of man a new creature at new birth, initiating the work of preservation for man.

However, the soul still has old things. Without gaining the right understanding, the soul of a believers is limited in how deeply they can relate to God.

The baptism of the Holy Ghost, makes it easy for us to receive the understanding that would raise our soul to a point where it is new like our spirit. This baptism is distinct from water baptism, which involves the physical body. The baptism of the Holy Ghost involves Him coming upon the soul of the believer. The evidence of this experience is speaking in new tongues, which is the language of the new creature.

Additionally, we saw that speaking in new tongues does not mean speaking the language of another country. Rather, it is a divinely-inspired utterance in an unknown language. Speaking in tongues remains vital because it builds a hunger within believers for a different way of thinking. If our thinking patterns do not change, our souls cannot be preserved.

In this episode, we examined the subject of faith. Without faith, it is impossible for a believer to please God (Hebrews 11:6). God cannot be blamed if a believer lacks faith because He has already provided the means by which faith can be obtained. Therefore, it is the believer's responsibility to seek out that means and develop faith.

According to Romans 10:17, "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." For our requests to be answered by God, we must have faith. Even the new birth is received through faith (Ephesians 2:8).

There is power in words. Faith comes as we are preached to and as we continually hear the Word of God. We cannot develop faith if we neglect hearing. Faith is not dormant; it can be perceived (Acts 14:9). It is often evident in the conversations of believers who have faith. Words and expressions such as "but," "what if," and "maybe" do not dominate their speech because their hope is firmly established on the Word of God.

To walk in faith, we must believe in our hearts even when our physical senses suggest otherwise (2 Corinthians 5:7). Faith in the heart brings our hopes into the realm of reality.

As believers, we should continually give ourselves to hearing the Word so that faith can be developed in our hearts. We must also learn to rest in God's Word regardless of what natural circumstances or physical evidence may suggest.
