May God bless our understanding of His word. May He also bless us to continually apply His wisdom to our steps every day. Lots of love brothers and sisters! Be doubly blessed.
Micah 4:1-8
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob;
and He will teach us of His ways,
and we will walk in His paths:
FOR THE LAW
SHALL GO FORTH of Zion,
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And He shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, EVEN THE FIRST DOMINION; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.”
Here is the first dominion that we had but we also lost because of sin; however we have regained part of it and will completely regain all of it through the redemption that’s in Jesus Christ and His Everlasting kingdom:
Genesis 1:26
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:28
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
Matthew 28:18-20
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Here is the transfer of the power (dominion) of the kingdom of God by the blood of Jesus Christ and the distribution (administering) of the Holy Spirit:
John 20:21-23
“Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: AS MY FATHER HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU. And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.”
The Prayer of Faith
James 5:13- 16
“Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
And the prayer OF FAITH shall save the sick,
and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH.”
1John 5:13-21
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have IN Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God KEEPETH HIMSELF, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are IN Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
How to be IN God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
John 15:7
“If ye abide in Me,
and My words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.”
John 15:10-11
“If ye keep My commandments,
ye shall abide in My love;
EVEN AS I HAVE kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love.
These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might REMAIN IN you, and that your joy might be full.”
1John 3:24
“And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth IN Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.”
Acts 5:32
“And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them THAT OBEY HIM.”
Hebrews 5:9
“And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them THAT OBEY HIM”
Jesus Christ became “perfect” when God the Father raised Him from the dead (physical and spiritual death) unto eternal life never able to die anymore ever again.
God the Father “sealed” Jesus Christ into eternal life (immortality).
John 6:27
“Labour not for the meat
which perisheth,
but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed.”
As long as we are abiding IN Christ, we have the Holy Spirit that seals us with eternal life. We are sealed with the seal of Jesus Christ – we aren’t sealed with our own seal, but with His seal. That’s why He said without Him (outside of Him, as opposed to being IN Him) we can do nothing of ourselves.
