Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
We are called to overcome the flesh, the old man, those false identities that would place us in servitude to the world and its trappings. As we die to the flesh and live unto righteousness, to the fullness of our potential, we will be granted a place to sit with Him. Jesus is our pattern Son. He overcame death and we are also called to overcome the fear of death.
In the past, we have delegated power to the external. When we take out a loan, we delegate power to the lender over us to some degree. When we break the law, we delegate power to the enforcers of the law. When we place our focus on the temporal, we in essence delegate power to the external. As we simplify our lives, we take back the power we delegated to the complex world. Who or what are you serving? What is tying you down? Do you have a mountain of debt due to leveraging yourself as a result of your craving for more?
A surrogate is a substitute. All of us have handed over power to a surrogate. That substitute power assumes authority over our lives. The lender can dictate how we spend our money by restrictions placed on us in the loan agreements. They have the right to our bank accounts in case of default. They may even have the right to our house if it has been placed as collateral. The law is behind them.
As we move toward the simplicity of our connection with Our Heavenly Father and enter into the prayer closet or booth, we will connect with the true power and authority of the universe. This is a closely guarded connection and you may not casually enter into this connection. You must understand that this is Sacred ground. Only those with a pure heart shall enter into HIS Presence. You must first forgive the debt of others. As you forgive debt, your debt is forgiven at the doorway of the prayer closet. Inside your prayer closet is the connection with Our Heavenly Father Who provides the needed revelation for you to fulfill your calling. I can direct you to your prayer closet with instruction and encouragement, but I cannot enter in for you. It is up to each of us to enter our individual booths. Our Sacred Chamber is protected from lawless entry. Those who thirst and hunger are the ones who will overcome and be allowed entry. Those who are occupied with the things of this world will miss the train. Let us turn away from the world’s attempt to distract us and overcome the old man so that we may find our place at His Throne.
