A true overcomer will walk in Holiness and will be uncompromising in all areas!
If you are an aspiring overcomer, you will be tested for your reliability to The Word of THE LORD, count on it!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:
12 So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees,
13 for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!
14 In every relationship be swift to choose peace over competition, and run swiftly toward Holiness, for those who are not Holy will not see the Lord.
Do not give up even in your weakness and weariness.
15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
16 lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.
17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
Esau is the example of one who gave up and gave in to his weakness. He forfeited his birthright and could not get it back.
18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,
19 and the sound of a trumpet and the Voice of Words, so that those who heard it begged that the Word should not be spoken to them anymore.
20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.”
21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)
Moses was exposed to total Holiness and experienced the Fear of THE LORD.
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the City of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in Heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
There are two separate groups: the general assembly and church of the firstborn. Who are those among the firstborn? The ones who have not given up their birthright.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Haggai chapter 2:
20 And again the Word of the LORD came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: ‘I will shake heaven and earth.
22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots And those who ride in them; The horses and their riders shall come down, Every one by the sword of his brother.
23 ‘In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel My servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of hosts.”
The signet ring is not a secret possession. It’s the outward sign of the authority of its owner. Through the presence of His Kingdom, God seals His work and testimony upon the world. God is the Owner.
Those who walk in True Holiness will in effect wear the unique Signet Ring of THE LORD with HIS power and authority. They will be among the church of the firstborn who will rule and reign with Christ on earth. They have been sealed!
