In the beginning God created Adam and Eve. This was and still is God’s Divine plan for the family; a man and woman marrying and procreating. Children are a blessing from the Lord. Psalm 127:3 Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from Him. God gave Adam and Eve dominion over the earth. Eve was deceived by satan, they both disobeyed God and our rightful place of authority and power was squandered to the enemy of our souls.
However God gave His only Beloved and Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die a tortuous death as an innocent Man for us. He was the Son of Man, the Son of God. He was 100% Man and 100% God when He lived here on this earth. Because of Jesus’ obedience even unto death we can live forever in eternity with Him.
John 12:32… And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to Myself.” (We now have His Holy Spirit living in us, empowering us.)
Philippians 2:6-11…. Who although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God, (as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes-the entire nature of Deity), did not regard equality with
God a thing to be grasped or asserted. But He made Himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even death on the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a Name which is above every name. That at the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of the Father!
Because Jesus Who Is now and was before and always will be-Lord throughout eternity; chose to leave Heaven and come to earth as a man Who was still Lord, to redeem us back to Himself . He returned to us the dominion and authority which He originally created us to possess.
We are to walk in this DOMINION and POWER to bring Him Glory!! There has been a great misconception about Christians or “Christ followers”. People may attempt to depict them/us as weak, needing a crutch, not worth paying attention to. I would need to say that the opposite is actually true. I have never met a stronger more persevering, courageous, loving, creative, hopeful, powerful and VICTORIOUS group of people than true Christians. Our Leader is the Lord Himself. Life doesn’t get any better than that!
Revelation 1:18 I am He that lives and was dead and behold Am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death.
There was once a King Alexander the Great who lived in 331 B.C. He had conquered most of the known world at that time and came to a barricaded city. He told the King of that city, who was standing on the wall to surrender. This king refused stating that he and his men out numbered them and asked why should he surrender his city.
Alexander the Great then told his finest army soldiers to line up and start marching toward the cliff. In obedience to his commands they marched to the cliff and over and plummeted to their death. When the king saw the devotion that these soldiers had to there king, he immediately surrendered.
Do you not know of the devotion that we have to our King Jesus? We are His soldiers here on this earth. We are to occupy until He comes back. We do battle in prayer on our knees. We speak forth His All Powerful Word which is able to transform lives. We reach out to our enemies in love and pray for them and bless them because our Lord instructs us to do this. We speak the peace of Jehovah Shalom. When we are weak He is strong. When we feel we cannot continue, He fills us with His Grace and Power and Holy Spirit and we are renewed and ready again for battle. We are willing servants of the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers , against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. “
2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for My Power is made perfect in weakness.”
This is who we are because of Whose we are. Glory to God Almighty. El Elyon. Won’t you join our army? The call to enlist is ongoing “until it is no more”. Don’t get to the point of “no more”, then it is too late. Choose Jesus now at such a time as this.
