The Power Within Us!

Do you know how powerful you are in Christ Jesus?  Do you realize that Father God gave us this power to execute his justice and righteousness in the earth? 

Have you ever asked or thought, "Why am I here or What is life all about?"

God created earth for mankind, for us to bring his will here, that is the answer to those questions.  We are citizens of heaven journeying and living here on earth.  God's intent is so clear from Genesis to Revelation that his plan was for us to dominate and invite him in our lives here on earth.

Is there other life somewhere else?  Yes, in heavens and we have access to heaven and earth in the spirit.  Remember that God made us in his image and after his likeness.  God is Spirit and so are we.  God is creator and so are we.  And if God wants us to know about life elsewhere he will tell us. Isn't it enough on our plate to handle life here and not be so concerned about other life elsewhere? (well that's a conversation for another time)

God duplicated his creative power in us, by his Spirit.  He sealed it in us through Jesus Christ and him crucified, resurrected, ascended, glorified and seated at the right hand of God.  We are the Body of Christ. Jesus is the head of the church.  The "Head" and the "Body" are joined together.  We are never to be separated from our head, Jesus.

So, since Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, then so are we seated.  God gave Jesus all power in heaven and in earth.  All things are under his feet.  Can you see the picture that God has given us?  Our head is not separated from our body.  Whatever is under our feet is under our entire body and head.

Well, what is the difference in the spirit realm?  We possess power to overcome anything and all things that will ever try to come against us.  God's word states, "No weapon formed against shall prosper..." We have to understand spiritual things since we are spirit.  God spoke and it was, and so it is with us.  We speak and it is...(even if you speak negative things), they eventually come to pass.  Why?  Because of the creative power God gave us in the spoken word.  Satan knows about words and he tries to get us to speak death filled words.  Begin to pay attention to the words you speak and determine if you are choosing life filled words or death filled words.  Choose life!

Doesn't it stand to reason that if God spoke, "Let there be" and it was, that since he made us in his image and after his likeness that when we speak, it is?  Why is this such a difficult concept to understand?  God made things so easy, but we have come in with our own interpretation of what it means when God said, "Let us make man in our image and after our likeness.  Let them have dominion..." Genesis 1

How awesome would it be if every Christian understood the power we possess and would use it to bring God's will here on earth as it is in heaven.  Jesus taught us that this is the prayer and the goal.  Heaven here on earth.

Many Christians are wanting Jesus to come back and take us out of here to heaven, and have totally forgotten that God made us for earth and earth for us.  Have you read the end of the bible?  We are coming back to earth to reign with Jesus.  Get practice now, reign in your life.  Use the power of God within you to bring "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Study what God said, study what Jesus said, and not what people have said about what they said.  Yes, God gave us Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers for our perfection, and along with these gifts to the body of Christ, he gave us the right to come before his throne to help to understand.

Side Note:
As you read these posts you will see from time to time that I do not include scripture references.  There is a reason.  My purpose is for the reader to get hungry enough to search the bible for themselves and find where I am getting this information.  You will need to search various versions of the bible from time to time, but the point is, "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.  Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."

I want you to eat spiritually for a lifetime and meditate God's word.  Find out where these scriptures are for yourself and you won't forget where they are and what they say.  There are bible websites where you can go search various translations of the bible.  My preference is the King James Version, the New King James Version, and the New Living Translation of the bible. 

I encourage you to tap into Jesus Christ, him crucified, risen and seated at the right hand of the Father.  It is our power and the basis of our new life.  The blood shed for you and I has importance.  We now live in that same resurrection power that Jesus lives in, if you have given your life to Jesus and received him as the only way to the Father.

There are so many benefits in being an heir of God and joint-heir of Jesus.  God desires us to have his best so get to know Father God, not just for things, but to know him and the "things" will come as you have fellowship with him.

God came down to fellowship with Adam.  He came down and called, "Adam, where are you?"  When God calls to you for fellowship, don't be found in sin and hiding from him.  Let God here your voice, "Here I am, I have been waiting for your visit today Father!"
