Good morning. I have not posted here, for a long time. I hope that everyone who is up and preparing for your day, has already decided to live this day in joy and in peace, in victory and in power, and in the complete knowledge of who we are in Christ Jesus. Jesus has already told us that we shall KNOW the truth, and that truth that we know, shall make us free! I am sitting and sharing what has been on my heart for the last several months. So many crazy things are happening all around us, and everywhere. I am not at all surprised by any of it, because God took the time to tell us, thousands of years ago, that it would happen, and how we as believers must handle it. We should not be surprised at all, by the senseless killings that have taken place, and are taking places around us. We should not be surprised by the laws that are being enacted in our country today...laws that go against God's laws. The racism and the division that exist, should not come as a surprise to us, not if we read and study The Word of God. God told us that there would be wars and rumors of wars, unrest, earthquakes in various places, people who would only love self, and would not even respect each other or respect life. I read comments on Facebook daily, and I listen to people who are angry about all of the killings that are taking place, and I see all of the division that it is causing. People are angry, fearful, and fed up with all that is taking place. Many are continuing to cry out to God, only to witness that things seem to get worse, instead of get better. We are asking God to fix this or stop that, and it seems to be an increase in the violence and the hatred that exists in this country. Prayer can and will always be the best thing that we can do, but I wonder if our begging God to do something, is really what we are supposed to do?
In Genesis 1:26, did not God put mankind in charge of the earth? Did He not tell us to rule, to dominate, and to "keep" the planet? Did He not tell us in Psalm 115:16, that He is taking care and ruling Heaven, but He put us in charge of ruling earth? Did He not tell us in Matthew 18:18, that since we were put in charge, then whatever we allow to happen on earth, then He will allow to happen, and whatever we stop and not allow to happen, He won't allow? Did I misunderstand what He is saying? Isn't it our fault for what is happening here? Don't things happen because we sit back and allow it to happen? We have been given dominion over the spirit that is behind murders and death. We have dominion over the spirit of infirmity that is causing all of the sickness and the disease that is plaguing the world today. Yes, I know that it is so much easier to blame and fight with people,but people are really not the problem! Yes I said it, people really are not the problem. We keep pointing fingers at people. Jesus told us who our enemy really is, and it is not your spouse, or your coworker, or your boss, or the President. The enemy is demonic spirits, that use people, you know how that demonic spirit used that serpent to deceive Adam and Eve! They are still doing the same thing. If we are going to see change, then we have to get real about the situation, and quit playing! We have dominion over the spirit of racism and hatred and murder that is so evident in this country. Is God going to do, what He has given us charge to do? Romans 8:19 says that all creation is groaning, and is waiting for the sons of God to manifest, and to be and to do what we have been empowered to do! The trouble is that too many sons of God, don't know who they are, don't know their true identity and what they can do, and many are as fearful, as ignorant (without knowledge), as defeated and look so much like the world! satan has deceived too many into believing that we can't do anything. We can! We as sons (offspring) of God, have the very same Spirit in us that Jesus had in Him, when He walked the earth, and healed the sick, opened blinded eyes, cast out demons, raised the dead, walked on water, fed 5000, stopped storms! We have that very same power in us, but we have to believe that. It is not just automatic, we must believe! We must know that we are not beggars, we are sons...we are saints...we are priests and kings, we are citizens of the most powerful Kingdom that exists, but we are acting like slaves...like weaklings...like the defeated. God said to come boldly to the throne! We can do that because we are citizens, because we have been chosen, because we have been given rights! We are the Church. We are the called out. We are empowered to rule, to reign in life, to conquer, to govern and to dominate! Circumstances should not dominate us. We should not be under the circumstances, we should be on top and controlling them. It is time out for just getting mad and begging, and sitting back and just watch things happen. The Bible says that sin shall not have dominion over us! Sin is running rampant in this country. Sinners are doing what they are supposed to do, and they are doing it well...but what about the Church? Are we doing what we have been commissioned to do? Are we as good at our job, as the sinners are at theirs? This is just me...venting a little. Have a wonderful day.
