TRADITIONS, LIES, and TRUTH – PART TWENTY-SEVEN
SUBDUE THE EARTH – PART TWO
Saturday – July 20, 2019, Tamuz 17, 5779
Greetings my precious brothers and sisters in Christ and welcome back to this engaging Bible Study that seeks to illuminate the deceptions in the Church and bring the Truth front and center. Last Saturday I began this Bible Study subtitled “Subdue the Earth” and laid some foundation. I will now pick up where I left off and push forward. It is vital that we understand who we are and what our obligations are and then what are the subsequent benefits of discharging our obligations. It is not wrong to know and pursue after the benefits of the Kingdom of God. Think of it this way, our discharge of our responsibilities in the Kingdom is from God’s point of view His benefits of having diligent sons and daughters in the earth. Contrary to popular teaching God does not have authority in the earth, remember He gave it to mankind in the creation and restored our authority/dominion following Calvary. Everyone, saint and sinner alike, has natural authority according to the world system and natural law, I am talking Kingdom of God, supernatural activating authority.
As I pointed out last Saturday, this command to subdue the earth means we are to subdue, exercise authority over, and activate supernatural force (the Blessing – Holy Spirit) to bring all-natural things into subjection. For example, we have authority over storms.
Mark 4:39 (KJV)
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
One might say, “that was Jesus, we can’t do that”. Well that will come as a surprise to God.
John 14:12 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Those of you who follow this blog regularly should have this verse memorized, it is pivotal to have this well ingrained in our thinking. The earthly Ministry of Jesus in the earth encompassed at one time or anther in one way or another the seven mandates given at the creation. Doing what Jesus did and subduing the earth is not optional, it is essential, it is mandatory to obedience. These were no doubt spoken by Him as God, as the Word, to Adam directly. Many things are benefits in the Kingdom of God and they are readily available without fanfare or begging. Prime in the mind of God, the mind of God should be most interesting to us, is our financial status and our physical health. Both of which are directly dependent upon the health of our soul. Our soul is our mind, will, and emotions and I suspect the deepest thoughts and beliefs in the quantum realm. Remember, as a man thinks is how he is, period. The more our mind is renewed to the Word of God, the will of God, the better our God ordained finances and health will be. Consider the following three verses establishing these facts, Truths.
3 John 1:2 (KJV)
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Acts 10:38 (KJV)
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Psalm 105:37 (KJV)
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
(Bold added by Dr. Wood in all three verses)
Notice that money comes first is all three instances and this is written by three different human authors. The thoughts that we believe and the words we speak which we believe forms our world. Look around precious child, what does your world look like? Faith filled thoughts (not a mixture) followed by faith filled words will produce wealth and health. As I end for this week consider the following and its implications for each of our lives.
James 3:2 (KJV)
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
James 3:2 (AMP)
2 For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature.
Yes, this means exactly what you thought it meant. That being so, why are we so out of control and have such chaos in our bodies? Are we unaware of our authority and the mighty Power triggered by that authority? Are we unaware of the extreme importance of our thoughts and words?
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it by faith in Jesus name!
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).
