BELIEVE and ARISE: Rule and Reign with The Eternal Victor

A Word of The Lord to The Church:

My people allow the enemy to gain ground by not believing and walking in My Word.

Do you not believe that I created the pillars of the earth and set the world upon them? Do you not believe that I break My adversaries to pieces? Do you not believe that I have placed the power and strength in you to open your mouth wide, speak My Truth boldly to the enemy, and devour OUR foe[1]? (See 1 Samuel 2[2].)

I have set the earth on its pillars; I have set the sun and moon and stars in the sky, and directed their rotations and placements. I have separated the waters from the dry land, and held the waters back from covering the dry land; so that My created ones can have life, and enjoy the beauty and fruits of their habitat on earth. Remember that I provided manna for My children in the desert and silos of grain during the famine of Joseph’s day. You can trust that I am faithful and strong to care for My children.

Do you believe that through the work of The Cross, I have provided salvation to all who will receive it; offering access, through My shed blood and resurrection, to complete wholeness of spirit (reconciliation to Me), wholeness of body (complete health), and wholeness of soul (mind, will, emotions)? Do you believe that I Am The Savior, The Rescuer, The Redeemer, The Restorer, The Healer? Do you believe that I make all things New!?

Sons and daughters – If you believe My Word and believe all of these things about Me, why then do you still allow the enemy to convince you of who you are not? Why do you allow the enemy to convince you that he is more powerful than I am? Why do you allow the enemy to convince you that the dark things you see and walk through on the earth are insurmountable and impossible to overcome? Why do you allow him to convince you that you and the world are already defeated; that this fight is too big to win?

Yes, you are now in the battle of the age – the “Epic Battle Over The Era”— in which My “kings”, who I have designated and anointed on the earth for these times, will defeat and reign over the earthly "kings" of this fallen age.

So, who are My anointed kings? They are My royal (kingly) priesthood of believers[3]. I have made you kings and priests to Me, for My glory and dominion forever[4]. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.[5]

Remember: Satan is the defeated foe. My resurrection from the grave is the demonstration of the victory which has already been won over death and over all of the works of the devil. As My holy, anointed “kings” partner with Me, OUR victory will be displayed through the crushing — the annihilation – of all of the enemy’s schemes; along with his vassals[6], who have chosen to reject and rebel against Me.

Consider this:

Why would I ever hand over control of MY created earth to the enemy?

Ephesians 1:20-22 states that The Father raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion …. And He put all things under His feet….

AND…

In Ephesians 2:6, The Word makes it clear that YOU have been raised up together and made to sit together in the heavenly places with Christ Jesus.

My Holy Ones are My “kings”, positioned to rule and reign with Me over My created earth. And My Victory is already set for an appointed time!

Remain faithful in standing firm against the enemy’s evil wiles[7]; being fully clothed in your heavenly armor, with sword drawn[8]… so that, you will defeat the enemy at every turn. The enemy is fighting for your mind. He is fighting to gain control of your thoughts; to draw you into negative expectations, agreements, and alignments with his lies.

The lies of the enemy are defined as anything that is in opposition to The Word of God; both His logos[9] and rhema[10] words. If it doesn’t agree with what God says, IT IS A LIE!  The enemy is always working to convince you of the lie that... your prayers have no power or impact; your obedience won’t change things; your costly faithfulness isn’t worth the price you pay; you cannot trust God to keep His word. He wants you to believe that you are only positioned to be drug around; to be the last; to be insignificant.

As you view the world in its current condition, the enemy schemes to hold you in the mindset that there is nothing you can do to change the current trajectory. His goal is to convince you that your fate, and the fate of the world, is to remain in a place of subjection to the evil that is being unleashed over this earth… across all of the 7 mountains of societal influence:

Education: The perversion, distortion of truth – lies – being taught to innocent children;

Government: The corrupt rule and rulers of the land;

Media: The deception (dark twisting of truth) that is continually seeping into your homes, into your minds;

Family: The attack against the definition of My creation of family: one man and one woman, united under God to produce children who are raised in the love and admonition of The Lord, and laying hold of their true identity;

Arts and Entertainment: The unholy, perverted subject matter, which has become commonplace and acceptable;

Business/Economy: Under the influence of mammon (Matthew 6:24 “You cannot serve God and mammon.”);

Religion: The falsehood and unholiness which has resulted in a counterfeit of The True Bride, whose holy purpose and calling is to please, love, obey, and lift Me high. This false religion has a form of godliness in appearance only, but denies My power[11].

Declare, decree, and walk in My Word:

My true followers will always be the head and not the tail; the first and not the last[12]. They will be blessed when they come in and blessed when they go out. The work of their hands will be blessed and the steps of their feet will be blessed. My Church is a blessed people! You are no longer orphans, so stop acting like orphans who beg for a morsel from the earthly king’s table like a dog. No! You are sons and daughters; you are KINGS who have been called to rule and reign with Me over the earth. You are KINGS! It is time to step into that position and posture, taking authority over the lies and the works of the enemy in your own lives and throughout this earth.

I have called you to honor the privileged role of being MY kings – rulers with authority – over MY earth, to usher in MY kingdom come and MY will be done, just as it is in heaven.

[1] 1 Samuel 2:1

NKJV …. I smile at my enemies….

KJV …My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies…. (Strong’s: enlarged - wide open to devour)

[2]1 Samuel 2

1And Hannah prayed and said:

“My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn [strength] is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

2 No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

3 Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.

4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, And those who stumbled are girded with strength. 5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, And the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, And she who has many children has become feeble.

6 The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up. 7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up. 8 He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory.

For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He has set the world upon them. 9 He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.

For by strength no man shall prevail.10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them.The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.

He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed.”
