You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’ “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
The word business in the Greek means an ancient time mercantile time for trading or exchanging to make again. It means to barter.
Luke 19:15
Interesting to see that trading results in authority over cities. Servants became a rulers over the regions because they learned how to trade fatefully. The servant who refuse to trade revealed an unbelieving selfish lazy disobedient heart.
What is a trading floor?
It is a defined trading area with in a house i.e. a bank or securities exchange. You must be on the floor to legally trade.
It is important to note as Robert Henderson explains: even though we are alive in the natural, we are positioned in the spirit realm..
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
We have been given a place in the mountain of God on the fiery stones. This is the trading floor of heaven. It is with trading takes place and transactions of the spirit occur.
Alters represent spiritual trading floors.
What is an altar
And alter is a place of exchange. They are marked for inter-action between the spirit world and the earthly realm.
j alters all portals. They are places of communication between spirit beings and human beings. Alters all physical locations where a door can be opened between the spiritual and the natural realm. Sacrifices and prayers established the altar in the realm of the spirit.
Gen 12:8
Alters places of sacrifice
Genesis 22: 2–13
God instructs a broom to offer his son Isaac.
Worship is intimately connected to sacrifice, when we bring a sacrifice we are worshipping and when we worship we bring a sacrifice.
The key concept to understand is that sacrifices are made at an altar and an altar is the defined place of worship and sacrifice.
Any time you step onto an altar with the sacrifice, you are worshipping that God of that photo. More over you have stepped onto a trading floor and on now positions to transact with even more with help and.
Sunday
Trading floors
Intro
Revelation about the trading floor is still unfolding, and we are still working on gaining an understanding of what this all means Biblically. However, we believe that the trading floor is a spiritual location where Satan “bargains” and makes trades with humans in some fashion.
It could be that the trading floor came about when mankind “traded” their authority over earth for the ungodly knowledge of good and evil. (which came about from eating fruit from tree of knowledge of good and evil).
Remember, everything in the spiritual realm is about legality, obtaining legal right to perform an action
Matthew 13:44 NIV
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
The spiritual atmosphere is a place of trade
Romans couldn’t just take Jesus life, He agreed to the trade, he chose to give His life
Trading is coming into agreement with something cause you are willing exchange something to gain
Trading as an action we follow when we seek to satisfy our own need
Trading is a function of those who are called to be priests and kings and to God so that we can reign on Earth with him.
Revelation 5:10 NIV
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
1. What are the origins of trading?
Trading is the basis of every economy and the way in which all kingdoms expand. We trade what we have to lay hold of the things that we don’t have. As in the natural so it is in the spirit.
Our ability to trade in heavenly places with what is in our hand will define the spiritual economy that we walk in.
Where trading was first introduced
Ezekiel 28:12–17 NIV
“Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendour. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.
a. Lucifer was a cherub that covers.
Exodus 25:19–20 NIV
Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.
Exodus 25:40 NIV
See that you make them according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
It would seem that the cherubs that covered the mercy seat were in very close proximity to the place where God said he would meet and talk with Moses. The cherubs that cover were very close to the throne in heaven and have access to see and hear much of what God is doing from his throne. In other words Lucifer had a covering position close to the throne.
Clearly trading happened in the throne room
Ezekiel 28:15–16 NIV
You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
When sin was found in Satan it would seem that he started trading from a heart that had turned away from righteousness and justice.
Ezekiel 28:17–18 NIV
Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.
VIOLENCE
Hebrew - Chamas חמס
Disruption of the divinely established order of things. It is a word widely used in the legal sphere.
Ex 23:1 - don’t be like the wicked that unrighteous witness - false witness
Another meaning strongs #2555 - Unjust gain, it violates an order established or guarenteed by YHVH
Is 23:8
Trade
Hebrew - rekulla רכלה
Trade = commercial exchange of goods
Trading floor
Markolet מרכלת
An area in a town of great urban activity where a public mercantile establishment is set up.
Also a place of legal establishment
Over the ark of the covenant were two cherubim with wings outstretched, covering the revelation that came from the Presence of God. When they released their wings, the light of that revelation shone onto the stones that covered their body, and was reflected out into the created order.Lucifer (one of the covering cherubs, who would become satan) gained revelation of God’s plan and purposes, and saw that the future destiny of the universe was not to be subject to him and the angels, but was assigned to mankind. He traded on that information to lead a third of the angels in rebellion, seeking to stop the outworking of God’s plan (see Ezekiel 28). He traded for future position. ( taken from Freedom ARC - Mike Parsons)
Now that he is cast out of heaven, he can no longer see into God’s plans. But because he knew God’s plan for Man, Adam and Eve became his target as soon as they were created.
trade floors reinstates legalities as the enemy seeks to regain authorities and rights he lost when he was thrown out of heaven
b. With evil in his heart Satan set out to twist and copy God’s pattern and pervert to glorify evil. In order to establish a kingdom, Satan needed his own Dominion. Satan knew that in order to build his own kingdom he would need to gain some territory in which to establish his kingdom, and saw an opportunity with Adam and Eve being given their own garden and dominion over the Earth.
Satan knew that they wouldn’t just hand over the Dominion, but had to trade it away from them. He was a master trader in heaven. He had experienced trading before Gods throne. He understood Gods economy and the legal requirements of trading to bring increase to a kingdom. For him to be legally able to establish his kingdom, he would need to legally trade the Dominion away from those to whom God had invested it.
Satan was in the mountain of God and walk back and forth on the fiery stones. The mountain of God is a reference to the realms of authority and government.
The fiery stones are places where offerings of route, and these offerings in tune become traits. This is the trading floor of heaven. Trading floors are a part of the spirit di mention where God lives.
2. The first recorded trade
Genesis 3:1–6 NIV
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
The only thing that Satan had to trade for to offer was sin. He needed to draw them away from their worship of God onto his trading floor. He distracted them through questions regarding Gods authority of his word. He got their eyes away from God and now he could put forth an offer they could bite which was the offer and the opportunity to be like God.
3. Examples of trading
1. Abel gave a better sacrifice than Cain.
2. Abel’s trade caused a verdict or decree to come from Gods throne
3. Noah built an altar.
Genesis 8:20–22 NIV
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
From this place Noah traded into the spirit realm
Noah, now as the Steward of the Earth made a trade in the spirit realm on behalf of the Earth. The aroma from this trading floor released the necessary influence that caused God to let the Earth go from a curse and got the legal right he needed to set the Earth free to produce.
5. Why is spiritual trading important?
Being aware of the law of trade floors brings awareness to us that we need to be intentional regarding what we do in the spirit realm.
6. Jesus was the first trader
Philippians 2:5–7 NIV
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Jesus traded his divinity in order to become a man and gave his life as ransom for many.
It is important to know that Jesus never gave up his identity as God but gave up his divine rights and privileges as God. He stepped on God’s trading floor and lay down his life as a living sacrifice.
Reversing demonic traits and recover lost blessings
Colossians 2:13–15 NIV
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
7. Its like insurance
We can claim back that which was taken. Which is the point we need to claim it back. Because of insurance. Though Jesus nullified the trade we have to enter a trade to claim back. Jesus made the ultimate trade we need to understand how to apply it, spiritual trading is the process to recover that which has been lost and stolen from you
9. What is a trading floor?
It is a defined trading area with in a house i.e. a bank or securities exchange. You must be on the floor to legally trade.
It is important to note as Robert Henderson explains: even though we are alive in the natural, we are positioned in the spirit realm..
John 3:13 NIV
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.
Ephesians 2:6 NIV
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
We have been given a place in the mountain of God on the fiery stones. This is the trading floor of heaven. It is with trading takes place and transactions of the spirit occur.
a. Alters represent spiritual trading floors.
What is an altar?
And alter is a place of exchange. They are marked for inter-action between the spirit world and the earthly realm.
Alters are portals. They are places of communication between spirit beings and human beings. Alters are physical locations where a door can be opened between the spiritual and the natural realm. Sacrifices and prayers establish the altar in the realm of the spirit.
Genesis 12:8 NIV
From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
b. Alters are places of sacrifice
Genesis 22:2–13 NIV
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.” Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together. When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.” Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
God instructs Abraham to offer his son Isaac.
Worship is intimately connected to sacrifice, when we bring a sacrifice we are worshipping and when we worship we bring a sacrifice.
The key concept to understand is that sacrifices are made at an altar and an altar is the defined place of worship and sacrifice.
Any time you step onto an altar with the sacrifice, you are worshipping the God of that Alter. More over you have stepped onto a trading floor and now positions you to transact
Altars are our spiritual trading floors
When the people approach the altar they might have approached a physical structure but in the spirit they will walking on a trading floor. In the natural they were lying I sacrificed on the altar, but in the realm of the spirit they are placing it on a trading floor. They are giving to their guard in exchange for something else. I fe when the people approach the altar they might have approached a physical structure but in the spirit they were walking on a trading floor. In the natural they were lying I sacrificed on the altar, but in the realm of the spirit they are placing it on a trading floor. They are giving to their God in exchange for something else.
Judges 16:23 NIV
Now the rulers of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god and to celebrate, saying, “Our god has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hands.”
10. Intentional trading
Though Abraham had no idea of a spiritual trade floor as the cross hadn’t happened yet, yet God wanted him to make this very important trade as it would establish a precedent and a principle of God.
So he instructed Abraham how to make an earthly copy of a heavenly reality.
Satan uses trading to trade life away from you. He needs to take what is yours to use it to build his kingdom. His trading floor is cloaked in this section and empty promises, looking good at the start but ending in destruction and death.
God is trading floor is designed to release life to you. This trading floor is before his throne witches in the Mountain of the Lord’s house. Through the blood of Jesus we have access to this place in heaven. We are not alert onto his trading floor, it’s an open invitation to come. To come willingly and choose to worship him. Your worship is your sacrifice. God wants you to step onto his trading floor with your sacrifice so that we can trade with you to give you everything that you need to for fill your destiny.
2 Peter 1:3–4 NIV
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Trading in heaven.
We can trade not just for financial breakthrough but also family destinies. We can trade for people to come into the realms they were created for. We can trade for the destinies of cities states and regions. On the trading floors of heaven we can shift nations into their destiny and purpose
There are different trading floors in heaven for different spheres. Different levels can be traded for on these floors. They will open for us when we are ready to trade on that level. Just like we have to learn to trade on the stock exchange, so we have to learn how to trade in heaven.
NB !! When we speak of trading we are not talking about buying something from God. We are moving into a realm of faith where our passions and desires toward God are being released on the trading floors.
Because Jesus traded on our behalf, we can now step out onto the trading floors of heaven because of the trade Jesus made. That’s why we are positioned on Mount Zion, Jesus trade has now positioned us in this place of governmental authority to make trades for the purposes of God and ourselves.
Heart conditions
Matthew 5:23–26 NIV
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Jesus caution about making trades or offerings with the wrong heart
Our trades carry the condition, sound and testimony of our hearts. If we bring an offering with these issues in our hearts, the adversary the devil can use the evidence before the judge.
And intentional trading with the enemy
Hosea 4:6 NIV
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
Colossians 1:9–10 NIV
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
Eve was an example of an intentional trading, she was lured onto Satan’s trading floor. If we are ignorant of the wiles of the enemy and end up trading away our blessings without knowing what we are doing.
13. When we trade with God
When we worship we sacrifice when we sacrifice we are at the altar when we are at the altar we are on a trading floor and an exchange is supposed to happen. God wants to give us something in exchange for our sacrifice. More often than not we walk away without making a godly trade.
Because we fall under a new dispensation which is the order of Melchizadek we appear on the trading floor as kings priests and prophets
Just like the levitical priesthood performed the service in the Earth and the tabernacle, we must learn how to perform that service in the heavenly tabernacle.
Hebrews 9:11 NIV
But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.
A royal priesthood trades with intention
Revelation 5:10 NIV
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
Revelation 20:6 NIV
Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
14. You as a priest have trading’s to conduct
1 Peter 2:5 NIV
you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
a sacrifice is something that has value to the giver, it’s something we choose to surrender to another in order to receive something we do not have. No sacrifice no trade
All trading is based on sacrifice. Sacrifice positions you on the trading floor and calls for a response from God. Different sacrifices intern different responses from God.
Hebrews 8:1–2 NIV
Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
Each time the priest brought a physical sacrifice to the altar, we have a picture of a new Testament priest stepping onto gods alter or trading floor in the realm of the spirit to present their sacrifice.
15. Dynamics of trading
a.The power of surrender and obedience grabs the heart of God.
b.Our trading can shift the air and atmospheres of Nations.
Malachi 3:2–5 NIV
But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years. “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.
c.Our trading is a voice that gives witness or testimony in heaven
Hebrews 7:8 NIV
In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.
d. sacrifice is a trading that releases a testimony
e. Through trading we shift things for God’s passion and will to be done on earth.
f. I thankful heart places value on the sacrifice
g. Trading releases the packing them to us.
h. Trading is about Godds desires and what is on his heart.
There is a set time and purpose for every Sacrifice on the trading floor. Satan gives instant gratification for sin, where God works by Seed and patience to yield a harvest
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
The greater the sacrifice, the greater the return or results.
GIVING
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
Tithes
Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
“Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
