Where does corruption begin in denominations according to Les?
Corruption begins in the high places of denominations—at the top, among the spiritual rulers. The illustration is a pine tree: when it dies, it starts dying at the top. Those high places erode and turn corrupt, coming under satanic influence, and Satan can transform himself into an angel of light.
Les explains that corruption in denominations begins in the high places—at the top. He recalls the illustration of a pine tree: when a pine dies, it always starts dying at the top. In the same way, the high places of denominations are where things begin to erode and turn corrupt. Les clarifies that this is not about political rulers but about the spiritual rulers in high places who have come under satanic influence, since Satan can transform himself into an angel of light.
