Notes
Transcript

Information
Birth right of Priest and King
Inspiration
and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
Revelation
Spiritual vs natural
We change our natural to change the spiritual which changes the natural around us.
When you change your life, you will change the world around you.Before you can rule outside, you need to rule inside.
Lo Debar and Miphebosheth
Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table. And he was lame in both his feet.
We can grovel in the failures of the past, and eat the scraps left to us from life, or we can ascend to the Kings table that calls us to our destiny in Him!!!!!
Application
Our authority rests in the righteousness of King Jesus!
Our authority rests in the righteousness of King Jesus!
For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
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).
Death ruled like a king because Adam had sinned. But that cannot compare with what Jesus Christ has done. God has been so kind to us, and he has accepted us because of Jesus. And so we will live and rule like kings.
The renewed mind considers all of reality from what the lambs has accomplished.
You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.
Transformation
Our first level of authority must be over ourselves and the sinful nature. (Not people that aren’t doing what we want)
Freedom from the Ghetto mindset and its selfish dominion.
Otherwise you’re vulnerable. Forgiveness
3. Our next level of authority is over darkness.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
