Once we have been made fully aware of FATHER’S seven redemptive promises, each of us has a decision to make. Am I satisfied in my current state or am I willing to pursue the fullness of all the promises? All believers have accepted the promise of redemption but most stop there. I am convinced that the fully matured Sons will have pursued all seven redemptive promises and will begin to produce fruit in each area, at some point. Jesus is our perfect example of One who walked in all aspects of these promises and we should look to Him for our encouragement to pursue the fullness of FATHER’S promises.
Our challenge is dealing with our mind, will, and emotions. The battleground is in the mind where we process all of the external input from the world. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
There is so much noise directed to us by the world, it can be difficult to protect ourselves from the world’s influence. People will pressure us to submit to their worldly views and ways but we must not allow their influence to keep us from embracing those promises we have yet to walk in by faith. Paul’s prayer for us is written in Ephesians chapter 1:
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Our advocate Jesus Christ has provided the means for us to receive all seven redemptive promises and now He advocates at FATHER’S right hand. FATHER sees us through the Blood of HIS Son and we have been given the gift of right standing with FATHER so let us go boldly to the Throne in Love, by faith, and pursue the fullness of these seven redemptive promises. We will truly be overcomers and mature Sons as we fully embrace all that Jesus provided at the cross. In the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT:
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Let us receive the revelation and walk in the seven redemptive promises and as a result we will have testimonies to be an encouragement to others in their pursuit of maturity in Christ.
