When You Know



What does the characters Neil from the Matrix or Aragorn of the Lord of the Rings had in common?  They both started out not fully knowing who they really were!  They were toss to and fro due to their lack of knowledge.  Yet what happened once they came to know the truth about themselves?  They no longer had to run, they no longer had to fear because they came to know who they were-one was the chosen one while the other was a king.

Now I know these are fiction characters and these are movies some of us enjoy on our personal time, yet there is a vital message we as children of God can learn from.  See we too started out in our walk with God not knowing who we really are in His kingdom. We too find ourselves running from the enemy, walking in fear, being tossed to and fro.  This private war of a saint can cause some to walk away from the faith or walk around not fully being happy. Yet ask yourself is depression, sickness, lack, or unhappiness part of God’s kingdom? Marinate

Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

See there is a season to act like a baby where everything is done for you by your parents.  Then there is a season of growth with childhood and adolescence. Finally we grow up to be adults.  Just like in the natural, there is a process in the spirit realm.  There is a season of not knowing, but then there comes that season where by consistent seeking Him; we come to know!

Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, so that we may be also glorified together.


We are heirs of God; therefore we have the right to all the benefits of his kingdom.  In his kingdom there is peace, joy, strength, health, prosperity, authority, correction, and revelation.  When we know who we really are in Christ, we don’t have to fear the enemy. He no longer has dominion over us!  Saints, it’s time for us to come to the knowledge of who we are in Christ.  Notice when Neil of the Matrix came to the knowledge that he was the chosen one, he didn't have to even dodge bullets anymore and barely use up energy to fight. Guess what, neither do we in the spirit realm for we have our Heavenly Father backing and Jesus name for our power!  So enjoy your inheritance of your Father and walk in your victory!

  1. you are so correct. we KNOW but yet we fear, wonder, doubt or even feel useless. I had a conversation today with a special someone who has no idea just how special she truly is. our enemy is so crafty, so sneaky but WE KNOW where our Victory comes from...we need to claim it!!

    love your heart! love you!
