Friday – June 24, 2016
It is the end of the traditional work week but our service in the Kingdom of God does not end at 5 pm today but neither should it be burdensome any day of the week.
Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
If verse thirty which was bought by the Blood of Calvary is not the truth in our lives, our ministries, we have not come to Him. That does not mean we are unsaved, we just are not teamed up with Him, at least not fully. Instead we have teamed up with ourselves and the devil. Yeah, the devil will get us diverted doing all sorts of “good things” that occupy our time, our money, and our energies subverting us from the will of God.
Be reminded that on Fridays I remind us all to pray for the Church, the people called by His name. The Church building pictured is Hallgrimskirdja, a Lutheran Church located in Reykjavik, Iceland. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Colossians 3:9-11 (KJV)
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
We must day by day seek Him in order to move forward in knowledge becoming more and more like Him. This is attainable in the earth. We have been given authority (dominion) in Heaven and earth (Kingdom of God in Christ Jesus) and we have been given The Blessing (The Power, The Holy Spirit) to accomplish Gods’ purpose for each one of us in Heaven and in earth.
Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:28 (KJV)
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
It is vital that each of us understand that we exercise authority in line with the will and the leadership of the Lord, the Holy Spirit. Likewise with the release of the Blessing, it must be as led of the Blessing which will be in accordance with the will of the Father 100% of the time. The authority of mankind in the earth was lost in the fall of Adam and the activity of The Blessing was severely limited in the earth. That all changed some two-thousand years ago at Calvary, in the bowels of the earth, with the presentation of the Blood on Heavens’ Mercy Seat, the restoration of Jesus to the Godhead, and His ascension to the right hand of Majesty on high. And by the will of God every believer ascended with Him. Let’s take a look at what Jesus had to say before He returned to Heaven to prepare a place for us in Fathers house.
Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Acts 1:8 (KJV)
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
So who is to go to all the nations (ethnic groups) with the authority, power of attorney, of the name of Jesus? We are! Whatever authority He has in Heaven and earth is ours. Who has received power, wonder working power, so Jesus, the Father can been seen? We have!
