RULING & REIGNING
On
New Years Eve the Holy Spirit gave me a revelation similar to one that I
received when I first accepted Jesus in 1984. As believers we should
not tolerate mediocre Christianity. Everywhere that Jesus went people
were healed, delivered, the blind received sight, the deaf received
their hearing, the lame walked and the dead were raised. The same thing
happened with the disciples in the book of Acts. Jesus has given us the
same authority to rule and reign on earth.
The bible says that the
natural mind cannot discern the things of the Spirit of God because they
are spiritually discerned. In 2019 the Lord wants us to begin to rule
and reign. Not with arrogance, control or manipulation, but to realize
who we are in Christ.
A
well-known prophet once said: “When you realize who you are in Christ,
you will realize that you are behaving below your nature and living
short of your potential.
In
the book of Genesis God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according
to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over
the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." In the book of Luke,
Jesus said: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any
means hurt you.
Too
many believers are being misled because they don't understand the
authority that was given to them. When Jesus walked the earth,
everywhere that He went people recognized His authority. Religious
leaders were astonished by His teaching. Demons would scream out saying
that He was the son of God. We have been called to rule and reign in the same way. We have been created in Gods image and called according to His divine purpose and plan.
Jesus
has given us the same authority that He had when He walked the earth.
It was prophesied in the book of Acts "But you shall receive power when
the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
We are supernatural beings living in natural bodies and the Lord wants
to reveal His power in us and through us in a mighty way. He has given
us His name (Mark 16:17-18).
Let’s
enter into the New Year with boldness knowing that heaven will back up
what we do and say that is in accordance to Gods word. Let’s begin using
the authority in Jesus name and our dominion over all the power of the
enemy. As you speak the word of God, situations in your life will begin
to shift. As you use His authority and speak His name, mountains will
move. Whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.Whatsoever
you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
As
you lay hands on the sick, they shall recover. He has given you the
power to pull down strongholds and overcome every obstacle that comes
against you. As you use the authority, dominion and power that He has
released to you in His name, you will begin to rule and reign on this
earth and His glory will prevail in your personal life and ministry. Now
is the time to walk by faith and not by sight.
Matthew 10:1
When
He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over
unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and
all kinds of disease.
Matthew 16:17-19
And
these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast
out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up
serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt
them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." "And I
will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind
on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will
be loosed in heaven"
Luke 10:19.
Behold,
I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you"
