FOCUSING ON GOD’S POWER

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.”

Ephesians 1:18-23

Ok… I could live on the AMAZEMENT of Ephesians 1, but let me focus. God’s Power. The Power of The Living God that He HAS SET ASIDE/APART/IN TRUST/FOR US BECAUSE WE DARE BELIEVE HIM . And that POWER makes POWERLESS any other power or conglomerations of powers that try to come against The imprint of His in us.

From the very beginning and constantly through Scripture, and in His direct relationship with those that were caught up in Faith in Him, even for a moment, The Almighty God – do we even understand what that Name of His implies – ALL POWER IS HIS. EVERYTHING ELSE THAT PARADES ITSELF AS POWER IS A SHAM IN COMPARISON, BECAUSE THERE IS NO COMPARISON #HALLELUJAH .

Ok back to the thought I was on…The Almighty God, from the beginning, has promised and given those that believed, elevated them into dominion over every thing that’s sets itself up to mock His power in them. Even when they don’t know that this Power is available to them. The demonic trick is to disable your ability to connect with GOD’S POWER SO THAT YOU ALWAYS SUBMIT TO THAT WHICH IS INFERIOR and live a life that is mediocre in that it isn’t what God created you to live.

Another is to EQUATE GOD’S POWER WITH OTHER POWERS SO IT MANIFESTS AS A CONTINUAM OF OTHERS NOT AS A SEPARATE INCOMPARABLE PHENOMENA. And that’s where we are often trapped… power manifests for someone a certain way, and suddenly that’s the ONLY way we think God can operate for us. And everyone else. I can think of several examples but one or two that people use within their own dictionaries is ‘what do you have in your hand/house?’ ‘those who don’t work should starve to death’ – while defining work as something akin to their hustle, or that of anyone else’s that is in conformity to theirs. i.e. what God called the ones who believe Him to do is not work but errrr…a hobby, entertainment… So what happens to the ones without hands and houses? Is God limited to creating something from ONLY that which is already in existence? And WHO GETS TO LIMIT HIM TO THAT? Me? You? Bosses? Kings? Others? God forbid!!!!

He has done things that way before, may be doing things that way and will probably do so in the future, but that’s NOT HIS ONLY WAY. He remains UNCHANGEABLY ALPHA AND OMEGA – THE BEGINNING AND THE END. MEANING, what He did in the beginning, speak order and excellence into that which was dark and formless, He HAS NOT LOST THE ABILITY TO DO NOW… IN ANY PLACE WHERE DARKNESS, FORMLESSNESS AND DISORDER EXISTS. And beyond these boundaries.

Back to the scripture quoted above – am asking myself this question this morning, what/who of mine, is in hell literally and symbolically today? What battle have I lost to darkness, that seems sealed and settled there? God, in His Fullness, in that Might/Power that He makes available to you WHEN YOU BELIEVE – not when you dare Him , we are not His equals/superiors to dare Him – is able, and had already removed someone from Hell to Heaven. Oh as I write this I hear in my spirit a rumbling that terrifies and yet comforts and settles. #HalleluJah .

What of yours is in Hell that you can believe Him to relocate to Himself? Oh God forbid that you and I would then go back to thinking that anyone/anything else could determine anything over us in Faith. Don’t go back into perdition – let’s march into our salvation.

Shalom

“God has spoken once,

Twice I have heard this:

That POWER belongs to God.”

Psalm 62:11

COMPLIMENTS OF THIS DAY

I wake up to a day where dawn is broken. The storm has settled and the sun is peeping defiantly from beneath the clouds. I realize I slept because The LORD OVER the storms combined them in Himself, and used them to rock me gently into His kind of rest. The BEST KIND EVER.

I am CONVINCED that this day Heaven will only cause me to receive what is from it’s divine and eternal Hands. And all I need besides to efficiently represent it. I am Heaven’s Ambassador – and The Kingdom provides for me ALL I need for Life and God-likeness. I am a warrior in The Hosts of my Beloved, and this morning I am shod by Him in His full Combat. I wake up, and His Minsters peal off the graveclothes from about me and I step forth as He beckons me into His Everlasting Arms.

There I am a risen one, forgiven, redeemed, beautified, I look like Him – my Father, The Ever Living God. Thorny growths emerge from my head as He holds me, at first they look like grotesque and deadly horn-like tumors, but I look again and they become a crown for which there is no earth-like equivalent. I hear it is made of Heaven’s treasure, won through the victories God Himself has worked in and through my life. It cannot be worn by another for it comes from within me and yet from God about and without myself.

My clothes – the sky and the sun cannot compete – for I am royalty, priest and warrior. By His Grace and His workings ALONE. I fall down before HIS MAJESTY proffering His way as I do, a crown for Him, from within myself, the victories He has wrought through this life I breath. I am home. I have received my instructions for this day. May my life be His Womb bearing fruit that looks, nay, more, that IS OF HIM. For This IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE: I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN HIM.
