Humility vs. Poverty

Many Christians equate humility with poverty.
Believers have allowed the devil to cheat them out of every blessing they could enjoy. God didn’t intend us to be poverty-stricken. He said we are to reign in life as kings. Who would ever imagine a king being poverty-stricken? The idea of poverty just doesn’t go along with kings.
How can we be more than conquers, victorious in life, seated in high places far above powers an principalities in the grips of poverty.  The very definition of poverty tells all "a state of need". Poverty  is the opposite of what the Word tells us Christ  came to do. He came to give us life and that life is to be more abundant, that is surplus not lack. If you are of the teaching that meek and lowly are next to Godliness you are deceived and defeated. Amen

Reigning as Kings

Let’s look again at Romans 5:17, “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”
The Amplified Bible says we shall “reign as (k)ings in life through the One, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One.”
God’s plan for us is that we rule and reign in life as (k)ings: to rule and reign over circumstances, poverty, disease, and everything else that would hinder us.
We reign because we have Authority. We reign by Jesus Christ. In the next life? No, in this life. Amen

Have a wonderful weekend

Authority on the Earth

We have established  this, Jesus  Himself  told us, Peter told us,  James told us,  and Paul told us.
Jesus, James, and Peter tell us to do something about the devil. Paul says in Ephesians 4:27, “Neither give place to the devil."
We need to realize this. Let’s wake up. We may have to change our way of praying and get after the devil.  It won’t hurt to change; it’s good for you.
We have authority to do this. We’re sitting at the right hand of the Father, far above principalities and powers. If we’re far above them, then we have authority over them.
the other seventy disciples that He sent out, “Behold, I give unto you power [authority] to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” How much authority over the devil does the Church have? Any less than this? No, thank God.
Pray this prayer with me, Father God blessed is your name that give us a place of authority in Christ Jesus.  Father open our eyes to your fullness in the name of Jesus we can see your plan for us that it is good and not evil. In the name that is above all names Jesus Christ and by the blood that was shed for us. Amen

Standing for Baby Christians

When they were first saved, they were baby Christians, and God permitted others to pray for them and carry them on their faith. But after a while, God expects that baby to grow, walk, and start doing things for himself. God puts the baby down and tells him to walk, but many won’t. Too many people still want to be babies and have someone else pray for them all the time. We want to help those who can’t help themselves, but we need to teach people so they can grow and use their own authority, because the time will come when they will have to use their own authority if they want their prayers answered.

We ought to grow stronger in faith the older we get, but too often we don’t. In her church, as in so many, most of the people were saved when they were younger, and God permitted others to pray for them then. But because of a lack of right teaching, they remained in that babyhood stage of Christian development. They said, “We used to get healed when we were first Christians, but now we don’t.” Amen

Exercising Authority Over Others

Believers have authority over the devil. They can break the power of the devil if he raises his head anywhere in their own life or the lives of their immediate family or loved ones. They have authority there. They’ll be free from the enemy because they’ve got the right to exercise their authority over him.
You’ve got to realize that you’ve got authority over your own household that you don’t have in my household. Spiritual authority is much like natural authority. For example, you don’t have authority over my money. You can’t tell me what to do with my money unless I give you permission to. You don’t have authority over my children.

Dealing With the Devil

“The New Testament tells believers themselves to do something about the devil. The least member of the Body of Christ has just as much power over the devil as anyone else, and unless believers do something about the devil, nothing will be done in a lot of areas.” We believe that certain people have power. No, Jesus said the least member of the Body of Christ has just as much power over the devil as anyone else; and when we start believing that, that’s when we’re going to get the job done.
Jesus continued, “I’ve done all I’m going to do about the devil until the angel comes down from heaven, takes the chain and binds him, and puts him into the bottomless pit [Rev. 20:1–3].”
Amen

Exercising Authority

In the mind of God, we were raised when Christ was raised. When Christ sat down, we sat down, too. That’s where we are now, positionally speaking: We’re seated at the right hand of the Father with Christ. (The act of Christ’s being seated implies that, for the time being, at least, certain aspects of His work are suspended.)
All the authority that was given to Christ belongs to us through Him, and we may exercise it. We help Him by carrying out His work upon the earth. And one aspect of His work that the Word of God tells us to do is to stand our ground against the devil and put him on the run with the Word. In fact, Christ can’t do His work on the earth without us!
