Power to rule!

Hey you blessed in Christ, 

the Holy Spirit quickened something very special to my heart this morning that I present to you for encouragement:

God's original intention, His heart was for us to rule on earth and over our circumstances ... it's our heritage and as children of His Kingdom, our inheritance and right!

We should be ruling as He ruled. How? Look at Jesus!

How does He reign? By speaking to and addressing matters. From His mouth comes a powerful double-edged sword. He says it and it is so! That's how God YHVH created and how He rules.

Our rule in faith is exactly the same. That's why king Solomon says in Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

What we speak has eternity-value, creation-value, authority-value, comforting-value and encouragement-value

Or

Vanity-value, breakdown-value, slavery-value, destruction-value
... we decide ...

When Paul says in Rom 4:17 "... even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were." he describes exactly this characteristic and powerful reign of God - He calls those things that are not as though they were! That's how He creates. That's how Jesus healed. That's how Jesus raised the dead. That's how Jesus sets free. He calls those things which do not exist to manifestation. HalleluYAH!

But what do we do?

Through our traditions and customs we make the word of God of no effect (Mark 7:13).

We call the things that exist as though it does not exist ...

Can I say it again: We call the things that exist as if it does not exist. Exactly what the enemy wants!

Through our traditions we pray:

"Please God, heal!"

"Please Lord, protect!"

"Please Lord, bless!"

"Please God, give rain!"

"Please Lord, keep the enemy away!"

  etc., etc., etc..

... as if Jesus had not already given us everything.

... as if God never said: "Submit yourselves and YOU resist the devil and he shall flee from you".

... as if Jesus never said go out preaching the good news, heal the sick, cast out demons ...

... as if God left us as orphans without an inheritance and without any power!

And then ... we pray "... if it is according to Your will, Lord," as if God did not reveal his open heart through His Son, Jesus on the cross.

Friends, hear me when I tell you that anything that is not consistent with God's character is from the devil!

What is YHVH's character?

Look at Jesus and you see what He Himself announced to Moses in Exodus 34:6 "... The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth," 
He Can be no other! 
Glory to God!

He is the God of love!
