“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? I Peter 4:17“
WHY do God’s people get judged first? Because the church of Jesus Christ fails to execute it’s primary functions – to defend the faith, to walk by faith and to subdue evil forces in the earth even though we are EMPOWERED to do so. The only way to defeat Satan in this earth is for Believers to exercise the dominion and authority God gave us. God won’t do it, but through the LIFE of Jesus Christ – He instructed and showed us how to do it with our faith and the power of God!
WE are the channel that God operates through, because He handed over the keys to us – He gave the dominion and authority of this earth to US! And He will not take it back – only those speaking spirits who operate on this planet wearing earth suits of flesh are authorized to exercise the power of God in this earth. Devils are unauthorized to run rampant the way they are, God expects US to arrest them! Hallelujah!
God makes His supernatural power available to us to stop the devil dead in his tracks – and when we fail do that (for whatever reason: lazy, ignorant of our covenant blessing with God because we don’t READ OUR BIBLES, caught up in seeking pleasure & entertainment, distracted by the cares of this world etc., etc.) —the devil begins whuppin our tail FIRST because we are the biggest threat to him. Jesus said the gates of HELL shall not prevail against the Church – we are like a battering ram against those gates, and those gates MUST fall!
If we ever find out who we REALLY ARE and what we are REALLY here for, the devil doesn’t stand a chance against an army of like-minded Believers. But as long as we PLAY CHURCH, the devil and his wicked army of demons run rampant in the earth.
People are not the enemy – the wicked spirits inside those people; SATAN himself inside those demon-possessed people are the Enemy, this is why God told us to love them – HE WANTS THEIR SOULS! He doesn’t want ANY of the precious, pure & sinless blood that Jesus shed for them to go to WASTE!
God is LOOKING AT US, (some of us that is) and wagging His head at the way we are letting the devil have his way in the earth, in our homes and even in our own minds and bodies! No, you can’t lead everybody to Christ and get everybody’s soul saved, but that doesn’t mean you don’t try – you have no idea what God will do with the seeds you plant – but you must plant them! That Word will either save that person or judge that person and YOU Child of God must do your part.
God is depending on His earthly representatives (yes that’s YOU & ME) to CALL ON HIM & HIS POWER to cast out devils, bind the enemy, and to loose (release) the power of God into the lives of those whom He intends to SAVE. But before we can exercise dominion over this earth, we have to exercise dominion over our own flesh, minds and heart. Hello somebody???
QUESTION: “…when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8b”
Come on CHURCH! What ya gonna DO?
Now according to Matthew 18:18-19 go slay some DRAGONS by binding them with your spoken words to the atmosphere where they dwell:
“I bind you Satan according to the dominion and authority God gave me, I bind every evil plot you and your demons have devised against me, my family, my home, my friends, my church – all in the name of Jesus – by the power of His shed blood! And I release the power, presence and peace of God into each situation right now – where light shines darkness must back up – so back off Satan!”
Come on y’all – pray about your situations, come up with your own words to speak out loud and DECLARE YOUR DESTINY!
Abundant Blessings Await The Faithful! Onward Christian Soldiers!
