The Power Of A Transformed Life Part 14
God came down and communed with man. This shows how important we are to God. When we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, the Godhead comes and abides in us. When Jesus overcame the grave, He triumphed over every principality and power (Colossians 2:10-15). Why then are we allowing the enemy to have power over us? We are the house of God. We carry the Godhead with igniting power and fire. However, if we only talk about it and not believe what is inside of us, it would be of no use.
The house of God was created between God and Abraham. It was established because of their relationship and covenant (Genesis 28:10-19). When God makes covenants with us, there is an open heaven from generation to generation. With an open heaven, no principality can stop it. It is time that we walk in our authority and believe in what God has done for us. There will be access in every area of our life. There will be an open heaven over us. We are the house of God. God is looking for us to partner with Him again. It’s time that we establish godliness in our times that will pass onto the next generation.
We have a choice to accept the cornerstone and to walk in obedience (1 Peter 2:4-10). We are a chosen people, a royal priesthood and a holy nation. We are special in the eyes of God and we are the called. If we believe that we have no calling then we are believing a lie from the pit of hell. We declare that the Holy Spirit is renewing our minds and reminding us of who we are in Christ. Every lie that the enemy has spoken over our life is broken now in the name of Jesus.
We are gates and the house of God. We have the ability to access the things of God. We have the ability to bring things from heaven down to earth. We allow what enters into this atmosphere. On the day of Pentecost, the people waited for the promise of God (Acts 2:1-5). They were unified and obedient. Something supernatural happened and changed the atmosphere. As they spoke in tongues, Jerusalem heard a sound. God is calling out for a sound in New Dimensions Ministries. The church has been silent for too long. We sing songs but we are not making any sound. God is looking for partnership again in the earth. At Pentecost, there was a visitation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants to visit us and cause a sound within us. When people hear the sound, they will come and ask. They will come and give their lives to Christ.
We say that we have a relationship with God but it is not seen in our families and in our workplaces. We carry our children to lessons for maths and the arts but we don’t teach them the Word of God. In many universities, philosophies are taught that are in agreement with false gods and the culture of the world. One must be grounded in Christ and must believe in the One true God.
God is calling us to be a prophetic people and to cause atmospheric shifts (Joel 2:28-32). He wants us to release a sound in the earth. All creation is groaning for us to arise as sons of God. It’s time for us to wake up! We have to arise and wake up. God is about to show forth the church and its glory.
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:13-19 (NKJV)
We have the ability to allow powers into the earth. We are gates. The gates of hell represents mindsets in this world today. However, we must cast down every imagination and thought that exalts itself against Christ. We must renew our minds. We have to lay down ourselves as living sacrifices.
The world says hate your enemies. The kingdom says love your enemies. The world says push yourself to the top. The kingdom says serve. The world says there are many paths to God. The kingdom says Jesus is the only way to God. The world says get back at those who unfair you. The kingdom says pray for those who persecute you.
