Ephesians 1:19-21
Ephesians 1:19-20
Hebrews 2:8
Hebrews 2:8
While Adams sin was that of High Treason against God in the act of turning over lordship of this earth to Satan, the fact now remains that Satan even though he goes through this earth roaring like a lion seeking whom he might devour is in all actuality "A Power Dethroned" through the works that were wrought by Christ Jesus upon the cross and through His death, burial and resurrection.
Satan's power in this earth and in the heavens has been completely stripped from him. The only power he now has is that which is given to him either freely or unknowingly by man. For too long now the Church has seemed to overlook the fact that Satan is no longer lord over the earth and all its fullness. The only reason the land still suffers the effects of sin is because the children of God have not humbled themselves before God and sought His face so that He can heal their land. As children of the King we have not repented before God for not taking our rightful place in Christ, which is the seat next to Him in heavenly places. We have not repented before God for not taking the dominion and authority that is ours in and though Christ Jesus in this earth and therefore opening the door for God to heal our land. The only things Satan is lord over in the earth are those who have rejected Christ and this earths system of finance. As children of God we are no longer under bondage to Satan and as Gods children we are not subject to the earths system of finance either. The word of God says we are foreigners and strangers in this earth and we are now joint heirs with Christ so therefore we are heirs to heavens system of finance. All of heavens blessings and fullness of God are ours as His children. We as His children are to bring those blessing to this earth. For all the earth and its fullness are Gods but until we take our rightful place as heirs with Christ in the earth "now", not some time in the future, but "now", our land will continue to suffer the effects of sin. God has said that the suffering of our land, through what I call the sin factor, can be stopped if His people would humble themselves and turn from their sins and seek His face in prayer. He said if we would do that He would hear from heaven and heal our land. In that statement God is saying He will not only physically heal our land but financially and govermentally as well because the earth and all it contains are His. Lordship over this earth has been returned to Christ through the works He wrought on the cross. Ephesians 1:19-21 says Gods immeasurable and unlimited power is in us (because Christ is in us) and when God raised Christ from the dead He raised Him to sit at His own right hand and placed Him above all rule, principalities, powers, might, dominions and authorites. Hebrews 2:8 says the dominion and Lordship of this earth and all its fullness is given back to Christ and Christ in turn passed that lordship on to us. The Amplified Bible states Hebrews 2:8 in this way, "For You have put everything in subjection under his feet, Now in putting everything in subjection to man, He left nothing outside [of man's] control..." God said Nothing in this earth is outside of man's control. If that is not dominion, authority and power over all the works of the devil I don't know what is. God left nothing outside of man's control. Jesus controlled the weather yet in our time we have had whole towns and cities destroyed by so called acts of nature. Why if the church has all dominion and authority over the earth and its fullness have we not stood up and refused to allow those so called acts of nature, which are only caused by Satan through sins effect on this earth, to cease and desist in their destruction. The Church of God has not stood up and stopped these things because she has not understood her full rights, authority and dominion in this earth. We have in effect tied Gods hands from healing our lands because we do not repent, we do not seek His face and walk in the the authority and dominion that is ours. We have limited the "immeasurable" amd "unlimited" power of God. We may ask how we can limit something that has no measure or limit but that is exactly what we have done by not walking in our authority as Gods children and by not taking dominion over what already belongs to God and has been given to us to oversee until the return of Christ. Sickness runs rampant in the body of Christ. Why? The word says we are to raise the dead, cleanse the leper and heal the sick. Yet the body of Christ is destroyed because of our lack of knowledge. It goes on to say in Hosea 4:6 that we are destroyed because we "reject" knowledge. We not only lack knowledge but we lack it because we reject it. We do not walk in dominion and authority because we have rejected what the word of God says about us having dominion and authority. We have rejected the truth of Gods word concerning this. The time has come and is now here for the body of Christ to rise up and lay claim to what belongs to us as children of the King. It is time for us to realize who we are in Christ Jesus and to take control over what already belongs to us through Christ. We need to understand once and for all that Satan is "A Power Dethroned" and that in and through Christ nothing is outside of our control.
