We are to walk in the revelation of rulership over the world!
King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 8:
3 Look at the splendor of Your skies, Your creative genius glowing in the heavens. When I gaze at Your moon and Your stars, mounted like jewels in their settings, I know You are the fascinating artist Who fashioned it all! But I have to ask this question:
4 Why would You bother with puny, mortal man or care about human beings?
5 Yet what honor You have given to men, created only a little lower than Elohim, crowned with glory and magnificence.
6 You have delegated to them rulership over all You have made, with everything under their authority, placing earth itself under the feet of Your image-bearers.
We are to walk in rulership over the earth IN HIS NAME! The first Adam gave up his rulership, but the last Adam returned the rulership to us.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 19:
28 Jesus responded, “Listen to the Truth: In the age of the restoration of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious Throne, you who have followed me will have twelve thrones of your own, and you will govern the twelve tribes of Israel.
The number twelve symbolizes Divine appointment, authority, and completeness, We are to rule and reign IN HIM.
As I wrote yesterday, Paul understood what it meant to sit in Heavenly places with Christ Jesus.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 19:
11 God kept releasing a flow of extraordinary miracles through the hands of Paul. 12 Because of this, people took Paul’s handkerchiefs and articles of clothing, even pieces of cloth that had touched his skin, laying them on the bodies of the sick, and diseases and demons left them and they were healed.
I can testify that this very thing happened when I went on a missionary trip to Romania in 1993. We prayed over a handkerchief, and the lady took it to the hospital and laid it on her daughter. Immediately she was healed and left the hospital to return to our meeting.
We are not to be at the mercy of our situation; our situation is to be at the mercy of our power and authority. As we embraced the depth of Our Heavenly Father’s Love for us, we will gladly accept everything He has for us.
Jesus spoke about two sons in Luke chapter 15:
24 For my beloved son was once dead, but now he’s alive! Once he was lost, but now he is found!’ And everyone celebrated with overflowing joy.
25 “Now, the older son was out working in the field when his brother returned, and as he approached the house, he heard the music of celebration and dancing.
26 He called over one of the servants and asked, ‘What’s going on?’
27 “The servant replied, ‘It’s your younger brother. He’s returned home and Your Father is throwing a party to celebrate his homecoming.’
28 “The older son became angry and refused to go in and celebrate. So His Father came out and pleaded with him, ‘Come and enjoy the feast with us!’
29 “The son said, ‘Father, listen! How many years have I worked like a slave for You, performing every duty You’ve asked as a faithful son? And I’ve never once disobeyed You. But You’ve never thrown a party for me because of my faithfulness. Never once have You even given me a goat that I could feast on and celebrate with my friends as this son of Yours is doing now.
30 Look at him! He comes back after wasting Your wealth on prostitutes and reckless living, and here You are throwing a great feast to celebrate—for him!’
31 “The Father said, ‘My son, you are always with Me by My side. Everything I have is yours to enjoy.
32 It’s only right to rejoice and celebrate like this, because your brother was once dead and gone, but now he is alive and back with us again. He was lost, but now he is found!’ ”
Our Heavenly Father has never withheld anything from us, His sons and daughters. We simply didn’t understand HIS Heart and HIS willingness to provide for us for our enjoyment.
