We Are To Reign As Kings
“For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).”
Romans 5:17
This means everyone of US that has accepted Jesus Christ, as our Lord & Savior, comes into a kingly/queenly state (from God’s perspective) to reign in this life.
But The Sad Truth
We have reigned as SERVANTS, too long, in the realm of spiritual death. Man was never made to be a slave. Man was never made for slavery. Man was made to reign as kings under God. Think with me: We were created in His image. We were created in His likeness. We were created in equality with God...pure, holy...able to stand in His presence without any consciousness of inferiority. Did Adam ever pull back from God's presence? Did he ever blink when he looked into God's eyes? No, Adam walked with God. Talked with God. Fellowshipped with God. How could a created man do this? Because he was created just as pure, just as holy...He was created to be a God-man!
Realize That Adam Was Made A God-Man
Adam had such intellect that he named every animal. Every vegetable. Every fruit and each one fit and described their characteristics. He had such a vitality in his body that even after he sinned and became mortal, he lived nearly 1000 years. It took sin & death 930 years to put him on his death bed! And he didn’t even have redemption! Methuselah was 969!
Life was so abundant in their minds. These men understood their relationship with God and who they were in His eyes. Many think our life span is set due to our eating, lifestyles, etc...but we find in God's Word that it's more based on how we think, what we know or don't know. Their understanding of life, the life that God gave them, was so tremendous that it conquered century after century! When God can do this with man...then you have to believe this man belongs in the realm of God!
Life Abundantly
The key is we have to comes to a real conscious grip, a full understanding of what John 10:10 says, “I have come that You might have life and have that life more abundantly!”
What was lost in the garden has been returned...for you to take! God has given you dominion over His works!
God has made you His understudy! His king to rule over everything! Look back at Romans 5:17 “For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).”
Take Your Place
Friends, if you believe what I’m teaching you, it’s going to end of your impotence and weakness, and you will swing out into a power such as you have never known in your life. Jesus did not come to produce a weak race, but ones of power, authority...kings and queens on the earth to rule over everything! Take your dominion back! Over sickness, over poverty, over fear, over your life.....It’s your right!
Listen to me....
This thing I’m teaching you about our union with God is not known is the larger body of Christians! All they have is forgiveness of sin. Their is no actual union with God. (many teach it is blasphemy to teach this union) They do not know or understand that the New Birth through Jesus is a real incarnation with God. They do not know or understand they are as much sons and daughters of God as Jesus is!
They larger body of Christ is weak and powerless not knowing of their rightful dominion that God has given them! They have the most distorted and befogged concept of what God has done, what God is to them and who they are to God!
God help us to throw off our human reasoning that has led us into all fears and doubts and to throw ourselves into your hands and dare to believe what you’ve done and who we are in Christ Jesus!
I dare you....“Kings don’t care what people think of them – it matters only what God thinks."
Love you all...
Pastor Charles
