The Power With...Continued

This morning in my time with the Father, I was ministering to him letting him know how thankful and grateful I am to him for everything he has done for me. Singing praises to his Holy Name and glorifying the Lord Jesus. Then Holy Spirit gave me a vision. Sometimes I will get a scene from a movie that I saw that conveys what the Father wants me to know and understand about his kingdom, and this morning it was a scene from "Lethal Weapon 2". In the movie, a South African diplomat was doing some under handed illegal stuff and when the lead detectives approached him, he boldly declared that there was nothing that they could do to him "BECAUSE" he had diplomatic immunity. He only answers to his country's government even though he was in America. Well, from there the Holy Spirit referred me to 2 Corinthians 5:20(which is always my ending scripture in my posts) which states, "So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God."(AMP Version) Now hear the definition of an ambassador: "A diplomatic official of the highest rank, sent by one sovereign or state to another as its resident representative (ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, an authorized messenger or representative." Holy Spirit gave me this revelation that we are here in the earth representing the Kingdom of God. Our citizenship is not of this world any longer. Once we received Jesus as Lord and Saviour, we renounced this world and took up residency in God's Kingdom. Now, like diplomats/ambassadors living in another country, we too are exempted from the boundaries of this world and what it has to offer. We only answer to God the Father through Jesus which means whatever God's Word tells us that we are inherited and have rights to, it is so. We as children of God are covered by the Blood of Jesus and have rights and entitlements to things that people who have not chosen to serve God are not entitled. Then to give me a bible reference, Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Before they left, God sent many plagues on the Egyptians, their land and animals that could not and did not affect God's people. Same land they dwelt in but God's people were protected from all the curses sent on Egypt. God always shields his people in the earth and wards off curses. BUT, WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ABLE TO PROTECT US, AND MAKES US TO OVERCOME THIS WORLD'S RESULTS! If you do not believe that you have diplomatic immunity as God's ambassador given to you by God our Creator, then you will live and experience the same things that non-Christians experience. You will not look any different than the world. And that's why the world doesn't want to listen to Christians talk to them about Jesus, because many Christians are worried and anxious about the same things that they are worried about. If you can not give them hope and they cannot see the evidence in your life of what God has done for you, why would they even want to switch sides? Back to the vision and revelation...The Israelites were instructed to put the lambs blood over their door posts and stay inside so that they would be protected. We should always cover ourselves with the Blood of Jesus and stay within God's Will (His Word is his will), and keep his word first place in our lives. We represent the Highest Kingdom that ever existed and that will ever exist. We have power, authority and dominion in Jesus Name and the right to use it daily. We use the power within to draw and reconcile the world to God through Jesus. We should have the best because God is the best and supplies us with his best. We should look and act differently from the world so that we can magnify Jesus. We are the salt of the earth, the light on a hill. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR SALTINESS? HAS YOUR LIGHT GONE DIM? Will you tap into the Power Within you today? 2 Corinthian 5:20

The Power Within

Christians are the most powerful beings that exist and certainly the only kind in existence. How can I make such claims? My authority comes from God's Word. Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Also, 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;). what does that say to you? To me it says that we a the people of God are special! I do not know anywhere else, or in any other books written about the people groups of this planet described as Christians are in the scriptures. Do you? The thing is, we have to believe that we are who God says we are and walk in it daily to show God's presence in the earth. Christians try too hard to look like, act like and be like everyone else to fit in, when that's not why Jesus came to make us fit in. He told us that they hated him and the world will hate us also. We are to stand out or how can people see the difference in us. Well, maybe we just decided to overlook the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because "we know what's best." We decided that "since Jesus didn't live in this day and age, what he said is really not relevant to us, times have changed". Truly times have changed and that's why we need to cling even more closer to Jesus' words. If God decided to send Jesus to us in 2013 (instead of when he did) and he grew up in our society, he would still be the same, act the same, condemn the same, heal the same, bless the same, pay tribute the same, speak God's Word the same and die for us so that we could be free to do the same as he did and even greater that he did. (John 14:12) The power within Christians is a sustaining power to help us live through the changes in society without changing us. We have to be single minded. We cannot allow the world's philosophy enter into our thinking, decision making, and actions. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. I can imagine how the Father see's us. Jesus walking and leading us, but no one is following him. It's like children playing follow the leader, and the leader looks back and the ones who are supposed to be following have turned and gone in other directions. Not a great picture of what God intended. Jesus is not a bad leader...we are bad followers if we are being conformed to this world! Romans 12:1-2 Get behind our leader and do as he does. Jesus did what the Father told him to do, and said what the Father told him to say. Jesus left us a great legacy to walk in for our lives. Let's turn it all around and follow our Leader daily. When we begin following Jesus and doing as he did, then we will see a change in our society for the better. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. Then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
