Part 2
Teaching by Prophet Lovy L. Elias · Watch on YouTube · 10 June 2020

Knowledge of heaven's ordinances — not prayer alone — is what unlocks the kingdom of God in your life.

The ordinances of heaven are the deep mysteries of the Spirit that God has ordained. Your ability to establish the kingdom of God on earth, overcome evil, receive healing, and walk in supernatural power is not determined by how much you pray — it is determined by what you know. This is a teaching that will unlock something in the spirit and activate something within you by reason of what you hear.

Teaching Overview

  1. The ordinances of heaven — not prayer alone — determine your ability to establish the kingdom of God on earth.
  2. Your connection to Jesus through His blood is not only spiritual but physical, infecting you with His nature and DNA.
  3. Knowing versus merely believing determines the depth of your encounter with God and your authority over darkness.
  4. Deep knowledge of God's ways — pursued with hunger, not convenience — positions you to walk in supernatural grace.
  5. Recognition of God in your life is blocked by lack of knowledge; what you know determines what you see and access.

The Ordinances of Heaven Defined

  • The ordinances of heaven are the deep mysteries and ways of the Spirit that God has ordained for His people to operate by.
  • Job 38:33 poses the governing question of this entire teaching: "Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?"
  • What you know about heaven is directly tied to your ability to set the dominion of heaven in the earth.

"Your knowledge of the things of heaven determines how you are going to experience God."

The Real Problem of Christians

  • The problem of Christians is not a lack of prayer — it is a lack of knowledge of the ordinances of heaven.
  • God can appear in a flame of fire and you will not receive anything if you do not carry the knowledge required to connect with what He is doing.
  • Miracles do not happen because you prayed an "anointed prayer" — there is no such thing as an anointed prayer in the Bible; there is only a prayer of faith, and prayer alone cannot substitute for knowledge.

"The problem is you don't know the ordinances of heaven. That is the problem because somebody who understands the ordinances of heaven is able to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth."

Deep Men and Women of God

  • Every deep man or woman of God who speaks and something changes in your life possesses knowledge about heaven that others do not have.
  • There are secrets God has given to men — secrets that, unless you find that man, you cannot access.
  • God still used Eli's established spiritual line to reach Samuel — even though God had rejected Eli — because the access code Eli had established remained active.

"If you're following what I'm saying, the one who established it on earth was still the access code that God had. So when God was dialing the number of speaking to a human being on earth, in a time the word of God was rare, God still had to use the line that he had established through Eli."

Declarations Without Knowledge

  • People make declarations without knowing by what knowledge or by what right they are making them.
  • Cancelling witchcraft, commanding healing, or rebuking demons without knowledge of the ordinances accomplishes nothing.
  • The authority to make declarations is grounded not in the formula of the words but in the knowledge that backs them.

"People just say, I declare, I declare, I declare, I declare, based on what knowledge? By what knowledge? Be healed, I declare it, by what knowledge? What rights do you have to command that?"

The Devil's Power — and Its Limit

  • The devil is powerful on earth — not in heaven — because he operates among people who do not know the ordinances of heaven, yet he does.
  • When you meet the devil without knowledge of the ordinances of heaven, he will consume you; but to someone who knows those ordinances, he immediately becomes the carpet you walk on.
  • The power to trample over the enemy has already been given — the only reason he is not under your feet is because there is something you do not yet know.

"Everyone that knows the ordinances of heaven has the devil under their feet."

The Blood of Jesus: More Than You Think

  • The blood of Jesus was not given only so your sins would be blotted out and you could enter heaven — that understanding is too limited.
  • When Jesus gave His blood, He made you a relative; what is His is also yours, because relationship is established through blood.
  • Your connection to Jesus through His blood is not only spiritual — it is physical, because you are His body and His blood flows through you.

"Your relation to Jesus is not just spiritual, is physical. Because if you are his body, it has to be physical. I fill it in my bones."

Genetics, DNA, and the Nature of Christ

  • Genetics flow through blood — that is why traits, abilities, and tendencies pass from generation to generation without being taught.
  • When Jesus told Peter, "Flesh and blood did not reveal this unto you," He was saying: nobody told you this and it is not in your DNA to know this — My Father told you.
  • Through the blood of Jesus, believers are infected with His nature so that knowing the things of God becomes a reflex, not a pursuit.

"There's a dimension you get to because of the blood of Jesus that is running through you — you just know things because it's in your nature. It is just your DNA, it's your reflex."

Communion as Physical Union with Christ

  • If a single drop of HIV-positive blood touching an open cut can transmit a full infection, how much more does the entire cup of Christ's blood transform you entirely.
  • You are infected with Jesus — infected by the Holy Ghost that is in the blood of Jesus, physically.
  • When you take communion with this knowledge, you can be healed of every sickness, because in the DNA of Jesus there is no cancer, no arthritis, no migraine, no heart attack.

"In the DNA of Jesus there is no cancer. In the DNA of Jesus there is no arthritis. In the DNA of Jesus, there is no migraine. In the DNA of Jesus, there is no heart attack. All these things don't exist in Jesus."

Knowing Versus Believing

  • There is a level beyond believing where you no longer think something — you know it.
  • Believing that you are saved is not the same as being the embodiment of salvation — knowledge must become identity.
  • The devil tested Jesus precisely on this point: "If you are the Son of God" — seeking to find out whether Jesus truly knew who He was, because what makes you powerful on earth is the knowledge you have about God that you have believed.

"I am the embodiment of salvation, what Jesus did on the cross. There's a difference. I don't believe I am blessed. The Bible says that we are the blessing of the earth. I know I am God's blessing on earth."

Hunger for God Over Convenience

  • God will never meet you where it is convenient for you — you have to seek Him out.
  • Hunger for Jesus means being ready whether He shows up at 5 AM, midnight, or 3 AM — not readiness based on how you feel or what hour it is.
  • Positioning yourself for the greater, the better, and the outstanding that God has to offer is not about convenience — it is about hunger.

"God will never meet you where it's convenient for you. Because you have to seek Him out."

Moses and the Prayer for Deeper Knowledge

  • Moses prayed in Exodus 33:13: "Now therefore I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee."
  • Moses — who had already seen God — still cried out to know Him more deeply, recognizing that the depth of knowing God is based on what you know of His ways.
  • Knowing God deeply is not because He appeared to you; it is because you have pursued and received knowledge of His ways.

"Knowing God deep is not because He appeared to you."

Recognition Requires Knowledge

  • 99.99% of people on earth have seen God but did not know it because of lack of knowledge.
  • Abraham recognized God immediately when three men approached him — bowing and saying "My Lord" — because he knew God's ways.
  • You may have bumped into angels, met the Lord Himself, or encountered divine messengers and not known it, because recognition requires knowledge.

"99.99% of people on earth have seen God but you didn't know you saw God because of your lack of knowledge."

Key Definitions

Ordinances of Heaven — The deep mysteries and divinely ordained ways of the Spirit that, when known, give a believer the ability to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth and exercise dominion over darkness.

Prayer of Faith — The only valid category of prayer in Scripture; prayer can only be offered by faith, and it is not a substitute for knowledge of heaven's ordinances.

Body of Christ — Not merely a metaphor for church membership; to be the body of Christ means the blood of Christ flows through you, making your connection to Jesus physically real, not only spiritual.

Infected with Jesus — The state of a believer who has received the blood of Jesus through communion with understanding; just as a pathogen enters and transforms the blood, the blood of Jesus transmits His nature, His DNA, and His immunity from sickness into the believer.

Knowing — A settled, identity-level certainty that goes beyond belief; the point at which a truth has become who you are rather than something you are still persuading yourself of.

Ordinance Access Code — The established spiritual knowledge held by a man or woman of God that God Himself uses as the channel through which He reaches and speaks to others; what Eli held that made him the access point for God to reach Samuel.


Key Takeaways

  • The ordinances of heaven — not prayer — determine your ability to establish God's kingdom on earth — Prayer is necessary, but without knowledge of how heaven operates, it cannot produce dominion.
  • Your connection to Jesus through His blood is physically real, not only spiritual — This means His DNA, His nature, and His immunity from sickness are literally available to you through communion received with understanding.
  • Knowing is not the same as believing — knowledge must become identity — The point at which you stop asking God for what is already yours is the point at which what you know has become who you are.
  • The devil's power on earth depends entirely on your ignorance of the ordinances of heaven — Every believer who truly knows those ordinances has the devil under their feet — not by rebuking, but by knowing.
  • Hunger for God, not convenience, is what positions you for depth — God will never meet you on your schedule; the men and women who go deep are the ones who are ready whenever He comes.

Reflection Questions

  1. You have been praying and declaring — but by what knowledge? What specific ordinances of heaven back the declarations you are making over your life right now?
  2. Have you received the communion only as a religious ritual, or do you carry the revelation that the blood of Jesus has physically infected you with His nature? How would your daily life change if you truly knew this?
  3. Is what you believe about your identity in Christ still at the level of belief — or has it become knowledge? What is the gap between what you say you believe and what you actually walk in?
  4. Moses had already seen God yet still prayed to know Him more deeply. What does your pursuit of God's ways look like — and are you genuinely hungry for more, or are you comfortable with what you already have?
  5. Who in your life carries the secrets of God that you do not yet possess? Are you positioned under that person, or are you content with what you can access on your own?

Opening Prayer

"Lord Jesus, I want us to pray. I desire you deeper. I want more of you. You're my deep of your father's compassion. You're the giver of a life and everlasting. You're the Savior of the world, Messiah. All I need I find in you, provide us."

I am praying on their behalf Lord, give them access, all those who are believing for access, spiritual access. I open it for them, spiritual access into the vaults, into the knowledge, into the understanding, into the libraries of heaven, into angels who are scribes, I give them access, into visions, to insight into mysteries in the name of Jesus, into places that they never knew, pushed this something deep in them, cause them to walk into places they have never walked. In the mighty name of Jesus."

"Father, let your hand right hand be your right hand of power. Your strong right hand upon your people. Because them to go into deeper and higher dimension this evening, I open and enlighten their understanding. Into deeper truths, deeper truths, deeper truths, like they have never known before.

I bring them to this place now in Jesus' mighty name. Amen."
