THE PLACE OF SAFETY – PART NINE
Greeting dear friends and partners of this Ministry and The Three Minute Word blog. Welcome back to this Saturday teaching series titled “The Place of Safety”. Please take a moment to share this teaching, as you have others, as widely as possible.
Now to our lesson. Our safety in every conceivable way, spiritual and physical, is a part of our salvation package. The word translated as ‘saved’ from the Greek is sōzō according to Strong’s Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary meaning to be safe, to save, deliver, protect (literal or figurative), heal, preserve, save (self), do well, and be (make) whole. The Complete Word Study Dictionary – New Testament defines the Greek word ‘sōzō’ as to be safe, delivered. To save, deliver, make whole, preserve safe from danger, loss, and destruction. This is our Promised Land, why are we slack and not walking in this land that flows with milk and honey, the Kingdom of God. The will of God is supposed to be present in the earth as in Heaven.
Matthew 6:10 (KJV)
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
When the disciples asked Jesus about how to pray this was a part of His instructions. You will notice that this verse is a command, a decree, and not begging or a request. We have the obligation by decree (Job 22:28) to make our life on the earth as it is in Heaven. Put away the unbelief, it is not only possible, but our assignment, our obligation. Next, notice what is linked to our having days as Heaven upon the earth.
Deuteronomy 11:18-21 (KJV)
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
Can you imagine that, He actually expects us to honor and do His Word? The Word of God is our life not some admixture. That did not work for Adam and Eve and it will not work for us but that is exactly what the Church as a whole, Christians in general, are doing. Then we wonder why things are not better and instead of doing the Word of God we develop a false word saying it is our cross to bear or other such evil. Our cross which is our assignment is never bad, always good and will always bear fruit and bring increase. The way to tell the difference between the will of God and others will, is to ask if things are hard and heavy and if there is stealing, killing, and destroying going on. If so, we are on an evil path. If the path is easy and light with a flow of abundance we are walking with God in the will of God. This is not hard dear ones.
If the link between love and faith is broken there is no manifestation of God in our lives, only human effort. I can’t speak for you but I for one have had it with the same o, same o. I want to see and do the things Jesus did, and I want to see and do the greater things (John14:12). I want to see the flow of superabundance in the lives of others and myself as living testimonies. Scripture (John 10:10) tells us that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. Do not be deceived, he may not take something we have but rather something we do not yet have but are entitled too by Covenant. Could it be that he will allow a small victory to prevent a larger victory if he can convince us by deception that is the best we can have. It is a lie!
1 Timothy 6:17 (KJV)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
Our focus, trust, and love are not to be directed at our riches but to the only Living God. Any riches we may acquire through the world system should pale in comparison to what we can have by Covenant without toil and sweat through the Kingdom of God. Remember, commerce, free enterprise, which produces wealth for all is a God idea not a devil idea. Hopefully we have the same God, but my God gives me all things to enjoy. What is excluded from ‘all’? The reality is that all things are ours not just a little here and a little there. Jesus got back our authority in the earth and Heaven as well as He and we becoming heir of all. All things are not His and ours at some future date and time but right now.
Hebrews 1:2 (KJV)
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
We are joint heirs with Christ which means we are participants in common with Him. All that is His is ours and available to us for the taking, now, not in the sweet bye and bye. Dear ones don’t let anyone tell you that all of this is “spiritual” and not “physical” and we can’t have anything here it is all for Heaven. That is of the devil, period. Heir of all is heir of all, not some, and not later.
Romans 8:17 (KJV)
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
How do we take it? Review Mark 11:22-25.
2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
