HEAVEN ON THE EARTH

I will continue today with what the Lord is saying to the Church through me. There is only one entity on the earth that can stop and reverse the moral freefall of this nation and the world. That entity is the Church, each of us individually and corporately in our groups, but it will not occur in the present condition of the Church, body of Christ. We must occupy the gates of Hell at whatever level we currently occupy in our God assigned mountains. As I have been asking the Lord about this and meditating upon it, I believe He has brought three things to mind. First, He reminded me of two prophecies He had given me and the King Cyrus of our time. Second is a recent sermon the theme of which stirred me our God given vision. And third there are two sacred cows (there are many more) that much of the Church believe to be true but are not. I will continue today discussing the false doctrine that God is in control. This doctrine is so dangerous because it intertwines with the second sacred cow the exercise of our authority. Many Christians don’t believe we individually or corporately have authority, but the Bible says we do. Stay tuned.
Dear ones the body of Christ can cause the earth to become as the Garden of Eden or allow it to become a cesspool. So far, we have chosen the cesspool. How? Many are believing God to be in control and are asking, begging, Him to clean up our mess. I hate to be the one to tell you dear ones, but that isn’t going to happen. We have the authority; He has the Power. Power follows authority. We have authority, jurisdiction, and we must grant God access by our authority into our jurisdiction. This would include ourselves, our immediate family, all that we own and have authority over.
We have a place to occupy (Luke 19:13) on the earth and we can and must invite Him into that occupation. Contrary to popular teaching God does not just barge into any and all things He desires to barge into. We have the authority and that applies to God moving in our lives (the Blessing) or the devils (the curse). Which one have we authorized? The answer is manifest, look at the fruit of your life.
Jesus told us to pray for earth to be as Heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10 (KJV)
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Jesus said to pray for it, so, it must be possible. If He was in control, why didn’t He just say; “I will make some places like Heaven as it pleases me.” We have a part; we always have a part, and we must do our part before the Hand of God moves. As we look around, are things becoming more like Heaven or more like Hell? Who is responsible for that? We, the body of Christ! It is the mandate (His command) for us individually and as a Church to occupy the earth and bring Heaven upon the earth. As stated earlier even the Old Testament saints could have Heaven upon the earth (Deuteronomy 11:21) if they walked in obedience. Do we have a lesser Covenant? Just like our Heavenly Father we are designed to create, change matter and matters as we speak.
Jesus said His Words are spirit and life and so are ours when we believe Him and say what He says. We can speak the blessing or the curse into our own lives and the lives of those around us. Be careful what you hear, and how you hear. Carefully screen by the Word of God, in context, in the whole counsel of Scripture, and the internal witness of the Holy Spirit, what you allow to have entrance. When we are hearing and following the Word of God, we are on the path of life. What if we are listening to other voices (words) and not following the Word of God? Then we are on the path of death. The path of sacred cows is where stealing, killing, and destroying are commonplace (John 10:10).
John 6:63 (KJV)
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
The spirit brings life, the flesh death.
Romans 8:6 (KJV)
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
TAKE HOME:
- Many believe that God is in control of everything but that is a false doctrine and allows the demons and the curse to flow unhindered.
- Dear ones we have delegated authority in the earth, we have all authority and God controls the Power which flows in response to our exercise of authority.
- It is the will of God that our lives be as Heaven upon the earth. Does that sound like poverty, just enough, debt, or ill health to you?
Lord willing, I will resume right here Monday. Remember, we love you, the Lord loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.
